Something to keep in mind

When the Russians stole internal info from the Democrats, they would have also stolen internal info from the Republicans. It is unthinkable that they wouldn’t have done so.

Their possession of that information explains a lot, e.g. why people like Graham et al did a sudden 180 on Trump.

The in-office Republicans still supporting Trump are those who are the most compromised – and therefore the most vulnerable. Their only hope is Trump being re-elected – they have no other options to rely on.

They just didn't do anything PUBLIC with it, and the RNC did not make a big public stink about it. AKA kompromat and the acquiescence of the "owned."

Kind of explains why the likes of Lady G went from "if we vote for Trump, we'll be destroyed -- and we'll deserve it" to shriekingly carrying water for Boofer Boy Brett.

And was likely the reason trump ran as a republican, because they found out they were more corrupt, and more compromised to use for greater control of them.

on all of them. He's leveraging them to control our government. Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnell, Mark Meadows, Trump, Pence, Rand Paul, et al have all taken diametrically opposed positions. They're candidates for a political contortions side show. And they've sold out their country for Trump / Putin benefit. And Putin plays Trump like a cheap fiddle.

The brainwashing from CONservative media has been relentless my entire adult life, three decades. It's pretty clear they simply have drank their own cool aid to the point their brains are completely rotted.

Nothing matters more than their epic battle with the god and country hating socialist, communist liberal spawns of satan.

When they aren't robbing, stealing and lying, they're gorging drugs and hookers at Plato's Retreat in Merde Largo's basement.
