Congrats Mr. Putin, you magnificent bastard!

We DUers saw this coming a mile away.

(well, aside from a few Putinistas that used to pose as DUers)

The thing I cannot understand at this point, is where are the supposed "national security" hawks in the GOP?

Why aren't they pushing for impeachment of Trump?

I would imagine they would vastly prefer the Dominionist Pence, because they probably could get him to agree with them on national security issues.

I have to conclude that, aside from John McCain, there were no true patriots in the GOP.

The Executive Branch is in chaos.

Nothing is getting done, except things that benefit donors and the inner circle of autocrats.

The Legislative Branch is in chaos, because there is simply NO PROGRAM, no plan, except more tax cuts for the wealthy. And, they simply rubber stamp anything requested by the White House.

The Judicial Branch can't take much of an active role in restoring order, and they are quickly being stacked by cronies of the White House.

The USA is severely crippled. We have no foreign policy, we are alienating our friends, we are in a cold civil war, and our economy is only strong on paper.

Putin's success is beyond his wildest dreams!

All of your points are right on. For Turtle Man to have another two years to cram through YOUNG nutbags into lifetime judicial appointments is appalling. Even if we pass sensible laws in a Dem future, the right wingers know where these judges are, and they will take their cases before them. Scary stuff.
