And not the good kind of junk in the trunk.

By the time it all comes out, we'll either be a white supremacist oligarchy, or we will be in the process of taking back our republic.

My biggest concern is the massive, well-funded right-wing propaganda machine - AM talk radio, Fox, Breitbart and other right-wing sites, as well as the 'think tanks' who give these people their 'talking points.' Because even if we are successful at getting rid of Trump and his evil administration, this 'noise machine' will still be intact, and will still be well funded. What will we do about this without compromising the principle of free press? And how does the internet fit in?

Maybe pass a law like the one Canada has requiring any station that calls itself "News" can't tell lies. (I'm paraphrasing here) That's why Fox "News" doesn't broadcast in Canada. Correct me if I'm wrong here, people.

.. the next one might not be an imbecile, and that is even more dangerous.

The republic won't survive another term of Trump, let alone someone smarter and just as evil.

I personally think Putin has dirt on them he has shared with Trump and Trump is holding it over their heads. Specifically, McConnell, Rubio and Graham. For a lot of the others, they know Trump's a stink bomb, but their constituents support his agenda: get rid of brown, black people, no more immigrants, unless they have European ancestry and anti-abortion.

What did the others give him and what did the rest of the party receive? The Reptilian Party is bought and paid for to serve Putin and the Russian 1%.

Why did Paul Ryan and several others suddenly "retire" since 2016? Were they uncomfortable getting in over their heads with professional criminals (Capone had nothing on these guys)? Did they see this controversy hitting the fan some day? Do they see themselves living the next 30 years at country clubs, rather than in federal prisons, enjoying their pensions and Rolls Royce (not Cadillac) healthcare plans?

Did they recall the penalty for treason?

Paul has a nice gig on K Street.

IMHO. He's waiting for the Trump dust to settle so he can ride in on his wonky white horse and save the republic.

I couldn't be happier about the move. Get Eddie Munster the hell out of here!

It's like a GOP crime wave trying to get the ball into the endzone.

"It's funny because it's true."

Thank you

It's their base that adores Trump. They have pumped Trump up to the point where they pretty much worship him as a god.

And some of that could be very harmful.

The entire party is held together by the dirt they have on one another.

Some of them are crooks, some of them are pedophiles, some of them are self-proclaimed fundamentalist Christians with sexual kinks they keep in the closet.

It's a system of Mutual Assured Destruction. One Republican won't reveal what's in another Republican's trunk because they've got something equally rotten in their own.

I look at some Republicans, Mike Pence for example, and think, "Jesus. I don't even want to know what's in that guy's trunk." I do know Pence wouldn't be Vice President if it wasn't something horrible.

Vladimir Putin, the greatest mob boss in history, figured it out right away.

Historically the American mafia had a similar hold on FBI director J. Edger Hoover.

This is spot on.

The RNC servers were also hacked, and I'll bet a good bit of dirt was uncovered, we just didn't hear about that.



This would likely pale in comparison:

Open the door and kick him to the curb. Half your problems immediately go away.

is when these guys are facing jail time they turn snitch immediately.

What few people speak about is how many GOP
Reps and Senators have knowingly take Russian sourced
Money and or have other compromising information being
Used against them ie Lindsey Graham’s sexual orientation.
Many GOPers are over a barrel and won’t make a move against Trump.

I cannot imagine living your life with "whatever" hanging over your head.

Please not that I said ALMOST. Whatever it is, if Lindsey had just come out and told the world his big secret when Trump cornered him on the golf course, it would all be gone by now. And if it is something really vile, well the, it's time to take your medicine Lindsey.

And he wouldn’t be real popular in prison because of his big secret.

Could it be on the server where the transcript of the "perfect phone call" is secured with a highly encrypted and inappropriate top secret designation? Is there a better place to store the RNC hack materials than there?

I suppose the only person who could verify that just might be the former head of the NSC. If only he were called as a witness, someone could ask the question. Hmmm.

Because the crazies kicked down the basement door and took over their house decades ago. They are a subsidiary of the religious right, not the other way around. If they cross Trump, he yells and their careers are over.

If only we could follow ALL the money...... Has to be much more than just sexual affairs or wordy-durdy stuff they said on the TeeVee.

They've all been brainwashed to never, never admit fault or criticize another Rethug. They also all believe that if they toe the line through their time in office, they're guaranteed a cushy job in the right-wing sphere for the rest of their lives.

Probably both.
