So, Putin threatens nuclear war if we dare to defend Ukraine militarily and the *&@# Republicans

threaten all out political war if we dare to refer Trump for criminal prosecution. "Birds of a feather". "Peas in a pod".

I am not yet in favor of risking nuclear war, but I really hope we tell these mealy mouthed Trumpies to kiss our collective ass.

That's like Hitler being reincarnated and the first words out of his mouth are "No more Mr. Nice Guy..."

Bring it assholes. We have the tapes...
