The silver lining



snip

But there is a silver lining to this.

The treason is now out in the open. There's no longer room for doubt or equivocation. We now know Trump to be a traitor to his office and his country. And this is something being realized across the entire political spectrum, from us liberals to the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal.

What the non-rabid Trump supporters now have to ask themselves is this: Is this what you signed up for? You voted out of habit, or aggrievement, You voted to "own the libs", or to revenge yourself on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. But did you vote for treason? Did you vote for our country to be handed over to the Kremlin? And if you didn't, if this isn't what you expected, then what are you going to do about it?

The eruption of resistance yesterday to Trump's cowardly surrender is heartening. Media which tries to couch every topic into false equivalence suddenly saw that there was no "both sides" to this. Citizens gathered outside the White House to make it clear to Trump that they would not bow the neck to Putin. And, by all accounts, Trump is apoplectic that no one recognizes the awesome deal he made with Putin. Talk about living in a bubble.

The road got harder yesterday. But the path is still clear. There's only one way to go: forward.

We are now told that 45 made a mistake. “I did not say the suffix “n’t” in my statement. He spent hours with Putin yesterday. He wants us to believe that he missed out on the suffix. CNN journalist Jake Tapper once stated that 45 is either an idiot or he thinks we are idiots. Well anyone that buys this mistake stuff is an idiot.

November 6…..We are waiting for you

Repeated it to Hannity hours after the summit. Funny he only says he made a oopsie at the summit yet has not corrected what he said to Faux.

I hate this man. He sold America to our enemy. For a pee tape and a hotel, he sold us.

But making it seem bad to be gay is not ok. I know, I know. I get it. Trump probably is fucking Putin for something. But don't toss the gays under the bus like the right wingers do. Being a marriage certificate holding lesbian, it sucks. Just saying. Also, my cat died today so maybe that is part of it. Nope. It's ok to be gay. Not ok to ruin the country. That's just some bullshit and I hope he gets what is coming to him.
