    Tom Steyer ‘s next ad should be:
    Looking for an American Patriot. Republican senators, do the right thing. Cross the aisle and save your Republic!

    Or something like that.

    I want to pass this comment on to TOD, by @SarahKendzior – Obama peacefully and knowingly transferred power to Vladimir Putin. This was in response to this comment: feel like the only person in the know who was proper freaked out about this at the time, demonstrably and publicly, was Harry Reid. by Melissa McEwan @Shakestweetz earlier this morning.

    We all know this is a lie. President Obama warned this whole damn country repeatedly about what a Trump presidency would bring- don’t even forget his speech at the Dem convention… but he was gagged by McConnell for going any further. He served us with complete honor for 8 yrs- the fact folks didn’t take his word for how dire it was, is on them.

    The background on Spy Girl’s Sugar Daddy:

    Adam L Silverman says:
    July 18, 2018 at 5:48 pm

    Erickson’s got longstanding connections to Russian government officials and oligarchs/organized crime leaders (Torshin is one of the top leaders of the Russian mob). He’s also heavily connected on the GOP/movement conservative/christian conservative side. Including both the NRA and The Family/The Fellowship/C Street folks who run the national prayer breakfast, which is how Butina was able to get deep access to that stuff. He was a senior advisor to Romney’s campaign in 2012. He was a College Republican treasurer when he was in college. He’s involved with Marsha Blackburn’s campaign to replace Bob Corker in the Senate. He’s a major bridging node between the Russians and these groups, movements, and campaigns in the US. And he’s in a lot of trouble.

        Was it because Putin could not turn RMoney to be his flunky so he would not help get RMoney elected? Did Putin plant that tape to bring down RMoney for a better useful idiot in 2016?

    BREAKING: @RepSwalwell and I just made a motion in House Intel Committee to subpoena the American interpreter during the summit — the only witness to Trump’s meeting with Putin. This is an extraordinary remedy, but Trump’s actions necessitate it.

    Republicans voted it down.

    By my count, Trump has questioned, doubted, or outright rejected the fact that Russia interfered in the 2016 election at least 13 times — 8 before taking ofc, 5 since. There’s a phrase for when someone “misspeaks” so much about a subject so sore: “What he actually believes.”

      That was a wonderful segment on RMS. I learned so much as to why these indictments were necessary. Kind of like putting a lien on a house or getting a judgement against someone who owes you money, one day they will need to refinance that house or that person will have to deal with you when they want to buy a house. They will have to settle that lien or debt with you sometime. 🙂

I am hearing Republicans saying his tweets are getting on their nerves and why repeat them, they’re just LIES! He is really going to be losing it the more he cow-kows to Putin now that he got his marching orders.

      PBO didn’t have a crystal ball but he was very clear about his relationship with Putin — what about Trump who is kissing arse?
      Trump STILL hasn’t imposed sanctions and is being given a free pass. You know he STILL wants to lift sanctions on Siberian oil (key).
      Don’t help Trump to distract from his blatant palling around with dictators and murderers = Right Now. We must get him out of office before we become a satellite mouse of Russia. Focus on that please.

But the actual votes that are needed to become President, she didn’t get. And why was that, it was because too many racist and shit-for-brains voters chose to do dumb shit.

    Asking why the TrumPutin private meeting took 2 hours: The possibility of Dicktraitor revealing critical classified information occurred to me
    but I preferred to think about Putin taking time to rehearse Trump to act credibly on their behalf at the press conference. Putin has said they talk by phone regularly. So the need for in-person and private is notably significant. What is GOP excuse for not letting the translator be asked about it? What do they have to lose? Could GOP leave a more obvious trail of corruption and Treachery than THIS?

So what’s to stop a monthly in-person meeting in which Dicktraitor surrenders classified information updates to Russia? The oversight/oversight/oversight of our National Security must investigate fully what happened at the meeting last week. NO more meetings period. Trump’s future is uncertain.
