It's very very strange in Trumpland

[struggle4progress]

Swift-boat birther Jerome Corsi calls Carter Page an Obama plant. That poor man is a few decks short of a full card

Breitbart and Tucker Carlson, meanwhile, are crowing in unison that most Americans believe Obama improperly spied on the Trump campaign (based on a poll from IBD/TIPP)

After about two minutes of these adventures through the looking glass, I opted for a reality check:

Most Republicans believe FBI, Justice Dept. trying to 'delegitimize' Trump: Reuters/Ipsos poll
FEBRUARY 5, 2018 / 5:41 PM / 5 DAYS AGO
Chris Kahn
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Nearly three out of four Republicans believe the FBI and Justice Department are trying to undermine U.S. President Donald Trump ... But among Americans overall, the latest poll showed that people did not appear to have changed their minds about the Russia investigation. Fifty-two percent of all adults said they believed Trump or someone from his campaign worked with Russia to influence the election and that it was likely "authorities will find evidence of an illegal relationship between the Trump administration and Russia" ...

Poll: Majority say Mueller’s Russia probe is fair
BY JOHN BOWDEN - 02/09/18 12:00 PM EST

2. t-rumpland is pretty much fucked up

which unfortunately is spilling over to the USA by way of economically slow downward turn. Most USA's citizens are fed up with this on going bullshit, insanity, embarrassment, and a laughing stock in the world, although a dangerous one.

Most Americans think their security is no longer important to this fucked up admininstration and party that controls it. That rich is more important than the middle and poor class.

These people are liars who do not care about us. They will destroy this country to keep their lives above the law.

Now I see why the Republican party is dying. Majority are Dems and Indies, thats why they have to cheat, steal, lie and gerrymand. Working with Russia is ok with them.
