1. Trump will never acknowledge the role that the Russians

played in the 2016 election because to do so verify that his victory was illegitimate and that he was not capable of winning without their interference.

2. Alabama, Louisiana, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Kansas and Texas.

(I've seen different lists including one with senators from South Dakota and Texas. I hope this one is correct. It seems more accurate.)

What do all those states have in common?

GOP lawmakers on the trip with Shelby include Sens. Steve Daines of Montana, John Hoeven of North Dakota, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, John Kennedy of Louisiana, Jerry Moran of Kansas and John Thune of South Dakota.

Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, also joined the trip.

These members of Congress hold seats they believe are very secure, in relatively states with small, to a great extent rural, electorates compared to California, New York and other more populous, sophisticated states.

I wonder what their constituents think of this, and how they would vote this Fall if the seats of these individuals were contested by strong Democrats.

Hmmmmmm!

3. If you watch that clip of the meeting in Moscow

while Stupid Shelby is speaking, notice the look on Jon Huntsman's face (sitting to Shelby's right). He is doing his best to look neutral, but he is absolutely thinking "WTF!!!" Huntsman is feeling exactly what the rest of us are. I am glad that he is our Ambassador to Russia, but really??? WTF Republicans??!!

5. When will TRUMP HAND Putin the keys of the White House?

When will he effectively surrender this country to Putin? It sure sounds like this is where this is all heading. Let the Republicans celebrate July 4th 2018 in Russia as they surrender this country to PUTIN!

6. And they went there at the same time the Senate Intelligence Committee.....

.....was saying, "Yes, they interfered in our elections."

And they're sitting there like this is a normal diplomatic visit and saying, "We don't need to be adversaries."

WTF!

7. We hope for better relations with the Russians.

The history of giving and hoping, from a position of weakness usually doesn't go well.
