Let's be clear about what Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are doing here.

@RVAwonk

Let's be clear about what Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are doing here. They're compromising an investigation and putting national security at risk to shield Trump and give their base a shiny object to distract them ahead of 2018 primaries & midterms.

but it won't. Maybe in some eastern European countries but not here.

My fear is Mueller comes back with the same conclusion right before the midterms...then what? we would look like asses and I could never attend another holiday dinner with my extended family (which upon thinking about that would make the holidays better probably my family's holiday).

We have too many Americans that still think they have to keep their guns to defend against tyranny when it would really help if they just got an education and got off their asses to vote.

AR-15, camo, ammo, red ball caps......$2,000

Vote......free if you have a car, $25 if you are black/brown and have cab fare because they closed your precinct

Hopefully when the Dems take over again, they will take ANY criticism from the GOP with a truckload of salt.
