From May of last year:

Don't forget Spanish prosecutor Jose Grinda saying Don Jr should be "very concerned" about tapes of his meetings with Putin crony Alexander Torshin (also NRA's contact in Russia). Grinda turned those wiretaps over to FBI.

Jose Grinda



Mr. Grinda's been fighting transnational mobsters for YEARS now

I so hope these tapes find their way to us someday

(yes, tomorrow would be fine)

Her college degree is in Home Economics and she worked as a party planner and "image consultant."

Then someone though she should go into politics and now she is a United States Senator!

I'm not putting down people with degrees in Home Ec. or people who plan parties and hold make-up seminars. Really I'm not. I just don't think they should be Senators.

I also would really like to know the reason Norway keeps getting mentioned by these folks. What did Norway do to deserve this slander!

socialism because it includes "a comprehensive welfare state and collective bargaining at the national level with a high percentage of the workforce unionised while being based on the economic foundations of free market capitalism." Not exactly a true socialist country in the strictest interpretation.

As for Marsha Blackburn, she is the ideal of Republican womanhood, cute, little, and compliant. She follows "Big Daddy" and does not have an original idea in her brain. As you can tell, I am not a fan of Marsha!

If memory serves, trump once asked why we didn’t ever get immigrants from Norway. you know one of the preferred “non-shithole countries.”

Give up paid healthcare, higher education, child care, vacations, retirement and all the other benefits the average American doesn't have the right to as a tax paying citizen.

Give up all that for a 30 degree increase in average temperature?

So not worth it.

trump studied it in 2014 to prep for this and coordinate with the russians. it is really dumbass for democrats to keep ignoring it. the high tech cos could save a shitload of money just by digitizing rw talk radio and realizing many of the most effective kremlin social media directions are coordinated with and piggybacking years of rw talk radio repetition.

Disgrace. But not a surprise. The gop has clearly decided that it is party 1st /full stop. All other considerations are secondary to that prime objective. The US, citizens, rule of law, morals, values, their oath to defend. None of this matters to them anymore. Remaining in control is job one.

This cannot continue. America became the world leader it has been because of compromise. The gop refusal to do that will slowly be the end of our Democracy. The Dems have to act and start performing the “check” in “checks & balances”.

ever imagined. They been working to undermine the US Govt for decades and we were either criminally negligent, or inexcusably incompetent.

We're under an insidious, longterm attack with multiple cyber, social and psi-ops battlefronts buried deep and pushing Russian tentacles everywhere. How many Republicans already have ties to Russian cash, intel, and other dirty tricks offered by their fave BFFs?
