(7,431 posts)Which GOP Congresspersons are literally OKAY with the Russian money laundering operations managed by Mr. Donald Trump?
Answer: ALL OF THEM.
Mr. Khan knows it. Maddow knows it. Many of the Dems know it. I'd bet my potato farm that ALL of the Republicans know it. And... well... maybe their okay with it! That's a lot of capital flow into the US. Free floating cash. Republicans love cash. They especially love free floating cash.
There's no outrage. There's no urgency. There's just, "We aren't doing squat about the money laundering until we don't have a choice." And they now have a choice because there are no official investigations concluding the existence of money laundering. And there are no investigation results because GOP chairs of committees are not investigating.
This is the cost of the last election. NO ONE can stop a Russian fascist coup because no one WANTS to stop the coup. When the GOP is in charge, this is what we get.
If the coup collapses and people go to jail, some will be wringing their hands saying, "I could have said something. I could have stopped it." But no one did.
As for Dems, there shouldn't be a waking hour that goes by when the representatives of the party aren't on the air, or in publications, talking about the money laundering and the COUP. When they say nothing, they blend into the coup. They acquiesce.
Maybe we get what we deserve. We've been living fat and lazy and have forgotten the value of our liberties. Now we're faced with losing all of them, and as a whole nation, we're clueless. We're watching them disappear before our eyes, yet we still don't know. But we will.

(81,231 posts)Eyeball_Kid makes a great point, and one we ALL need to remember. "When they say nothing, they blend into the coup." They Are COMPLICIT. Doesn't make much difference if they actually weren't IN the bank with their guns 'n' ammo, running the heist and terrorizing everybody inside. If they're even just outside at the wheel of the getaway car, They Are COMPLICIT.
Here's a case where it's one of those binary choices. Either you're with 'em or you're against 'em. Either you're wrong or you're right. There's no middle ground. You can't kinda sorta be wishy-washy with 'em on a few little things here and there but maybe only so-so on others. NO. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

(9,865 posts)....Russia doesn't matter in the deeper sense. It's not that it's a Russian fascist coup. It's a Fascist Coup. It's a coup by fascist oligarchs. 45 and Bannon and Tillerson are in a deal that can net them billions, if not trillions.
They'll probably provoke a war too--it serves them in numerous ways and is always lucrative for the military-industrial-oil-arms barons.
We need to be in the streets weekly, daily--lest we too become "Good Germans". Must resist while we can.

We are lead by cowards only out to pad their own back accounts at any cost to the nation.
Our Founding Fathers would fucking puke.
