We are now in a full-blown national security crisis. By trying to prevent the flow of intelligence to Congress, Trump is abetting a Russian covert operation to keep him in office for Moscow’s interests, not America’s.

American intelligence agencies concluded that Russia, on the orders of President Vladimir V. Putin, interfered in the 2016 presidential election. Russia Backs Trump’s Re-election, and He Fears Democrats Will Exploit Its Support
A classified briefing to lawmakers angered the president, who complained that Democrats would “weaponize” the disclosure.

2. Trump is concerned that Democrats will weaponize this disclosure

He’s not upset that it’s happening, just that Democrats will exploit the report.

Damn right we will!

3. God, I hope Bloomberg and Steyer are putting ads together right NOW

and run them non stop all week until every citizen hears it. Attack the GOP, tRump and Putin big time. Buy out spots on Fux Ruse too. Put campaigning issues aside for now, this must be the top priority for all Americans.

13. We are seeing

more ads from Steyer, but he is talking about the soft things that concern us. I want some harsh rhetoric and push back against Trump. Sure, we are concerned about healthcare, but we are more concerned about this fascist takeover of our government. Beating Trump in November is the only thing that matters, at least to me.

I am noticing this week that the GOP (TP) seems to have given up all pretense of hiding their treachery. Who announces that they are trying to suppress Dem votes? Stuff like that. It's plain weird.

4. Exploit means expose.

It HAS TO BE exposed!

5. Isn't That The Classic Definition Of Treason?

It's time to stop beating around the bush.

14. The definition of treason

needs to be changed to include cyber warfare. Why can't someone write up something and send it out. The Repubs would be far less emboldened if they had something more substantial to lose than just their seats. Like, their lives.

6. That's exactly why I said there will be no fair election.

7. Once again, time to IMPEACH!!!

Let him become the first scumbag in history to be impeached twice!!

[EndlessWire]

15. Absolutely. n/t

8. Oh great..

I have to hear that stupid Poltergeist sound byte on Stephanie Miller (seriously GIVE IT UP! NO MORE, IT GOT OLD 2 YEARS AGO!) tomorrow..


This also blows!


...But someone call Stephanie Miller and tell her to stop with that stupid Poltergeist clip!

[defacto7]

9. Yep, it's time.

12. Legally speaking, it's only treason if the nation is at war

But it is treason. He's aiding an attack our democracy

[EndlessWire]

16. Let's change that.

Obama told Putin to his face that it would be considered war if Putin continued effing with us like that. We should put up an impeachment count for treason, call it treason, and let it be discussed.

17. This is some straight up dictator shit.
