Was Putin sweating during his "re-election"? Of course not...The USA has reached a point where corruption and lies are no longer a sin, the acceptance of the general public shrugs on what is going on, in part because of ignorance, and lets face it that political ignorance in the USA is very high...so given all those facts, there is no reason for them to sweat, they have gotten away with almost everything so far. In a different World, the man-child would not be president today because the fact that it was proven the Russians meddle in the elections would have made his "win" illegal.
And now they are partners with Putin in this fiasco, they don't intend to let down, and neither does their mentor, Putin.
I don't see how anyone would think that Ryan and McConnell are not accomplices of the man-child in all that has happened, they are, I can only hope that the truth will come out and they all go to jail.
I hate to be this negative, but I have seen this movie before, and I feel horrible that the parts are being played as they were played in the past, only the actors are different and more dangerous. Putin wants to be remembered as "Putin The Great", he wants to be a conqueror, but what he doesn't understand is that Peter WAS great, he was not a crook, he loved his country and Russia, in great part, is what it is today because of "Peter The Great", but Putin is just a very intelligent but common crook, he will never be "Great".
