I read around conservative websites quite a bit, and none of them seem happy this morning.

This fall out is going to interesting as hell.

Trump will be the greatest statesman since Churchill. You know we have to have great relations with Russia.

They always take several hours to try to come up with the spin, once they do they'll repeat it over and over and if that doesn't work they'll ignore it and move onto a distraction.

I am not sure there is a line for the GOP. It is all about power baby. We got the Supreme Court for forty years - FU.

A few will speak out & say, oh how bad, today, but they will not say a word once the shithole is back in the States. Same with the media. The word treason, used in regards to a sitting president, will be normalized. Nothing will be done by this congress. Our electoral process hasn't been secured. Democratic voters better turn out in massive numbers this fall.

And spurs some real action.

We need something to happen. And we can't just twiddle our thumbs and hope for Mueller and Rosenstein to be our saviors.

They rationalized that the US really did deserve it, and Hillary Clinton caused Putin to attack us by angering him. Of course, Trump is going to fix this now, and Putin is enamored with him.

They really are that delusional.

But he may have crossed the line for some Republicans with his performance today.

God, Lindsay Graham, could you just admit that you are gay and get out from under the compromat that Putin has on you? We will welcome you on the other side of the aisle.

But I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of this week, his approval rating has dropped 3-4 points across the board.

This was bad.

Todays furor will subside.

And all the Republicans will fall back in line.

Just more of the same shit we are faced with every damn day.

shit, if caging babies didn't "cross the line", as it were, i'm thinking there might not be a line to cross, or the line is drawn in some weird out-of-the-way corner that no one goes into anyway.
