re: #276 Dread Pirate Ron

Moscow Mitch didn’t acquire his moniker by standing up to the Russians. The entire Republican party in Washington is compromised; they are all either being blackmailed or else they are witting participants in the efforts to undermine our nation. McConnell has always been a white supremacist (yes — his wife is Asian — but it’s black and brown people he detests) and so he may be a totally willing partner with the white supremacists and oligarchs running Russia today. And let’s not forget McConnell’s refusal to stand with Obama in a bipartisan effort in 2016 on Russian election interference.

How explain Ron Johnson’s efforts to promote Russian disinformation from Ukrainians working for Russia? And the visit of 7 Republican Senators and a Republican congresswoman to Moscow for July 4th, 2018? The Republican party is compromised, yet the Trump cult doesn’t care about their affiliation with Russia. My Trumpster brother continues to rant about China being the threat and is not concerned at all about Russia. Trump supporters describe this all as the Russia hoax.

It’s appalling that there seems to be no one in the party who is willing to blow the whistle. There are some, like Joe Walsh, who has been vehement from December 2016 on Trump’s public displays of admiration and support of Putin, but there appears to be no one who has private information that they are willing to release to provide evidence of the secret hold Putin has on the GOP. Power over loyalty to our nation — even if the power comes with the support of a foreign adversary.
