Jesus H Christ, we really are living in the Republic of Fredonia...

...the sheer farce of this "administration" is beyond imagination. Nunes and his White House contacts--who were they, Harpo and Chico? As for Treasongate--remember that Chico, the "Minister of War" in Fredonia, was caught red-handed giving state secrets to Louis Calhern, put on trial--and was acquitted, and given his old job back! Just like, I'm sure, it will be with our GOP "Congress", and those caught up in Treasongate. Trump could go on TV and boast about selling out the US to the Russians, and he'd get the same reception Rufus T Firefly would have gotten--ie, he'd be given the Medal of Honor. We have transcended satire...
