Wtf has happened?

Half of our elected officials have ties to the Russians. The next time someone accuses me of red baiting or hurting the feelings of some random Russian schlub I am probably going to earn a site ban.
As far as Russian folks go, they all know Russia sucks. If they think it is just hunky dory the they are the enemy. That's how you can tell.

I have gone from a country I would fight and die for to only having my immediate family and friends to stand for.

I want my wide world back. I want my country back. I want those who took if from me to be punished.

When Russia touches a country it turns to shit. Even faster when they can get their filthy catspaws in power.

We have been infiltrated at the highest level. Mccarthy was wrong but he wouldn't be seeing phantoms now.

Our country is on life support.

Only thing is, the party in power is charged with instituting such a committee and we know they won't be investigating themselves.

of Putin, then the Donald, Bannon, Ryan, and McConnell in that order about 6 months ago. The bumper stickers and pins that I wear and put on my car get so many compliments I have to keep making more. It is good to live in a blue state.

8. When John McCain was a prisoner in north Vietnam I can assure you Russian officers were involved

in his torture. He was a high value prisoner due to his fathers rank in the navy. They are still coming after us and have now endangered our very foundations. The trump family syndicate is a wholly owned subsidiary of the oligarch crime coalition now known as Russia.

I can almost hear the barroom laughter in Moscow as the jokes about "how many Americans does it take to dig their own grave"?

They are pros at the long game, and we are about to be issued shovels. If you don't believe just ask McCain when was the last time he could raise his hands over his head.
