This is not a hoax, and things are not okay

Imagine that U.S. military leaders spent most of 1941 warning President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his Democratic Party of a coming Pearl Harbor attack. Then imagine history’s harsh judgment against FDR’s party had it ignored those concerns, voted against efforts to fortify the Pacific fleet and plotted the firing of generals who were working to expose the looming Japanese threat. Historians would have rightly savaged these politicians as traitors to their country.

Seventy-seven years later, President Trump and his Republican Party are showing a disturbing ambivalence toward Russia’s attacks on U.S. democracy. What exactly are we to make of their disturbing behavior? Even after Trump’s intelligence chiefs handed Republicans incontrovertible evidence of Russian malevolence, Trump dismissed the warnings as a hoax, the GOP House Intelligence Committee chairman secretly plotted against those leading the Russia investigation and Senate Republicans voted in lock step against a Democratic bill providing a stronger defense against future Russian attacks.

“The X-Files” this is not. The truth about Russia is out there, and it is staring every Republican right in the face.

Glad to see Joe is not afraid to see and speak the truth and reality of America under the Donnie Regime. But Joe, like so many in the media and the never Donnie crowd, spent 18 months undermining the most qualified POTUS candidate in the history with their bullshit bothsideism.

I have saved this bookmark on every PC, laptop, and mobile device I own: Morning Joe attacks ‘elites’ for ignoring Trump supporters: Don’t call them racist, they’re in pain. Just weeks before the election, Joe had the audacity to lecture Americans with this bullshit “pain” that White conservatives have experienced for decades. Joe is on the correct side of history right now, but let’s see where he and his ilk fall after this madness is over.
