Just watched Ted Cruz publicly fellate trump on Meet the Press.

[Arthur_Frain]

After the way he treated him in the primary, after the claims he made about his wife, and the threats he made. Chuck Todd even brought some of the worst ones up!

Ted just kept on sucking.

What? What? What?

Please, God, before I go, I have to know.

WHAT DO THE RUSSIANS HAVE ON ALL THE REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS??????

What would make a guy do that? Flip so obviously and so honorlessly to laud a guy who took it to his wife?

*as an aside, I’m not near death. This is just really bugging me man.

1. Why is it that the fact the Russians stole the RNC data as well as DNC is never discussed?

That they didn't use it only underscores they've got the goods to extort and coerce the R's indefnitely.

[StarfishSaver]

6. Yes

They released the DNC emails because there was nothing in there to use against anyone so they put them out so they could be talked about as if there was something really bad in them.

But the RNC emails are being held back for a reason. And it's not because there's nothing damaging in them.

[Arthur_Frain]

9. That's interesting.

I wonder though.

I’d imagine (maybe wrongly) that they’d exercise a little discretion when emailing about damning shit.

But that would mean that the very nature of what they were emailing was so damning that even a hint of it getting out would sink all of them? That’s a smiley thought, give me more.

2. That was a very ugly little interview. And Chuckie got steamrolled (as usually)

What do the russians have...the RNC server and all the dirty little shit they've been doing for years is on it.

You think for a moment that the Russians created and executed this elaborate scheme only to put all their eggs on one basket. They used the DNC emails to win the government and the RNC emails to control it once they had it.

IMHO, of course.

[Arthur_Frain]

10. I don't care for his demeanor much.

Or something. At least he makes an educated effort to fight back though, if by “got steamrolled” you mean “lost the shouting match”, well, it was Ted Cruz after all. And shouting matches are an “everybody loses” moment.

That’s one hell of a conspiracy though, and I’d think somebody would’ve blabbed, or there’d be more corpses in the river than Epstein.

Maybe that’s where Giselle is?

[CincyDem]

16. I don't think of it as a conspiracy...to me it's just good project management on Vlad's part.

He didn't climb to the top of the KGB by because he had a popular TV show on RT or something. With no admiration, I have to suspect he's smart as a whip. Ya don't mount an operation like this without having backup plans, and backup plans for your backup plans. Russians have been taking over countries for generations and I'm sure there's a playbook somewhere entitled "How to control the country once you've taken it over".
i suspect it has a chapter in it entitled "Compromise remaining officials and keep them in power to maintain appearance of normalcy".

But hey - WTF do I know? ya know...just seems like when people ask "what's gotten into these republican senators?" ya gotta think kompromat is high on the list. lol.

[Arthur_Frain]

19. Agree with your assessment of Putin

I do.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

3. How do you watch that crap?! (Better you than me!!)

Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[Arthur_Frain]

12. Part of it is that this is probably the most historical event that will take place in my lifetime.

Another part is just for the record, I do want to watch the words come out of some of these people’s mouths real time, rather than just read about it or hear about it second hand, because quite honestly, some of the things that came out of Cruz’s mouth this morning simply made my jaw drop.

Hence my post. Made me wonder. What? What is it? What would somebody have to have on me, for me not to fess up, knowing that my life was over, I was shamed and would never make a comeback, etc. etc. but that my sons or daughters might outlive the taint.

They’ve got to know that in this day and age of no privacy, of “everything comes out”, it will. And when it does, their family name will stand a good chance of being permanently shunned.

Kind of like I hope the name “trump” is forever after.

4. I am 42, and highly doubt all the answers to this mess will

unfold in my lifetime. Of course, I hope we do.

[Arthur_Frain]

13. I'm not sure.

As I’ve said in a previous post. If the information is out there, we are going to find it out eventually. It’s too big a payday for somebody to pass up.

I’m 56. My hope from this charade is that I never have to seriously consider a threat from a republican nominee for the presidency.

Probably not going to get that one.

[dewsgirl]

20. I meant everything over all, the Trump Russia mess as a whole.

I think they are all up to their eyeballs in Rubles. I think the ones speaking/shouting on behalf of Trump are also compromised.

[dalton99a]

5. It was pathetic.

[Wawannabe]

7. And Ted Cruz

Has a #ShitStainTan!

[Mersky]

8. Uh, yup. That's Lizardhead Cruz, alright.

Is how I've named him in my contact list. Reminds me, haven't called his office in a while. Must fix that with a mostly polite call in support of impeachment, and follow-up postcard letting him know whatta sorry sack of suck he is.

[Arthur_Frain]

14. Make that call!

I’m calling Lisa. She might actually abstain I suppose.

[Mersky]

17. Yes! I will!

I call/send messages to my republicon reps whether or not they give a flip about my zip code. Everyone should - even if you're gerrymandered to hell like I am. Don't assume they'll always ignore their constituents, as apathy like that won't help a thing.

Everyone, call and send letters to your reps!

Call the good, bad, and the lizardheaded!

[UniteFightBack]

11. So as History looks back it will say OK to impeach Clinton over lying over sexcapades but neigh for

this arms for dirt scheme so dump can fuck with the 2020 election...YEAH OK TEDDY BOY.

This simple fact helps me sleep at night, these fucks ain't gonna get the last word.

[Arthur_Frain]

15. Keeps me up at night thinking they will sometimes.

They are in lockstep so very well, and I know enough of his true believers to know that even if the dems do win in 2020, it isn’t going to be the landslide that we really need to turn back this fascist trend in our politics right now.

Keeps me up thinking that even if we win/when we win, depending on how confident you are, we are going to spend years dealing with these yahoos and their resurgent feeling of validation.

And fixing the damage shitstain and his wrecking crew have done to our institutions.

[Cracklin Charlie]

18. They've all been funding their campaigns with rubles.

Probably all of this slimy guy’s campaign activity.

I can’t stand him. He makes me want to

[dalton99a]

21. Yep, and Putin has receipts

[Wellstone ruled]

22. Well,not only the DNC was hacked,

as per Simpson on Maddow,he hinted that the RNC was hacked as well and every data bite is in FSB hands. Malcolm Nance also makes this claim.

Colins and Hunter are just the tip of a massive Rethug Criminal operation. Leningrad Lindsey was one of the main conduits for moving Russian Money around to various other Rethug Politicians. Campaign so called contributions.
