I want to see our great "liberal media" sticking a mic in these traitors face ask them how they
feel about Russia and their trip to Moscow now?
*************
What does July 4th mean to me? Freedom, Sen. Ron Johnson chirruped on Twitter on Independence Day.
For the Wisconsin Republican, it meant, specifically, the freedom to spend July 4 in Moscow with seven other Republican lawmakers posing for propaganda photos with Russian officials. On the same day it was reported in Britain that two more people had been poisoned by a Russian nerve agent British officials say came from Vladimir Putins regime. On the day after the Senate Intelligence Committee affirmed the U.S. intelligence communitys conclusion that Russia interfered in the election to help Donald Trump.
The Moscow Eight: Sens. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Hoeven (N.D.),
John Neely Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), John Thune (S.D.) and Johnson, plus Rep.
Kay Granger (Tex.).

(21,264 posts)The GQP has become the Putin Party. Putin didn't just want to elect Trump in 2016 he wanted to also elect the Putin Party to control Congress.
CPAC just confirmed in its straw poll that Putin puppet Trump is the leader of the party and the members of that party are not going to criticize Putin's puppet.

(51,129 posts)They cannot get off by claiming stupidity when they clearly were part of a coup plot and they knew it.
We need some wanted poster templates to paste all their official photos onto, Wanted, Coup Participant, Voted to Overthrow the Government. Would "public lynching at the ballot box" be a step too far?

(9,109 posts)Steel your hearts and remember how many good Democrats were voted out of office in swing-districts and red-leaning districts in the 70s, 80s and 90s because a few far-left anti-war protesters * were waving Viet Cong flags and the Rs convinced credulous voters that Democrats wanted American soldiers dead.
I have no pity for these guys.

Far-left protesters WHO WERENT EVEN DEMOCRATS.

(70,447 posts).... will make them always vote for "a Trump" even if it is against their own best interests and it
hurts America. Fuck 'em those votes are gone anyway because there a lot more of us then there
are of them. They want to go down on the Trump-tanic fine let let 'em.
BTW Oklahoma, Arkansas, Utah, Wyoming, Ohio, & Indiana, and some southern states w/gerrymandering & electronic

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. 310 (2010), was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court of the United States concerning the relationship between campaign finance and free speech. It was argued in 2009 and decided in 2010. The court held that the free speech clause of the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for political campaigns by corporations, including nonprofit corporations, labor unions, and other associations

Rep. Kay Granger (R - Tex.)
Earmark near personal property with
family connections: $51.9 million
Over the past decade, Granger has helped obtain $51.9 million in earmarks toward a project to make over downtown Fort Worth and reroute the Trinity River. Until 2010, Granger co-owned a condominium building with her son about a half-mile south of the project. Her son is director of the group in charge of the project. "The congresswoman has always given her support to qualified programs in full compliance with the House Ethics Committee and the rules of the House of Representatives," her spokesman said.

(9,087 posts)Maybe they will always be corrupt opportunists. Trick is exposing how they take our tax dollars in the form of paychecks to do self-serving business with a mass murderer who dreams of the downfall of America. They still get support. But maybe not enough to win reelection.
Plus, I keep thinking of the Macaca moment of George Allen. And how we got Jim Webb in the Senate and a filibuster proof majority for about 5 minutes. How that turned into an extreme right wing SCOTUS 15 years on keeps me up nights.
