GOP flaks: The Russians didn’t meddle in the election. The election was fine. There was no meddling. There is no country named Russia. This is all just loser Democrats getting hysterical and making stuff up. There’s no reason to talk about this at all.
Trump: Russia totally meddled in the election.

“hey, so what if Trump committed treason. If he’s loyal to Russia, that’s still loyalty. Better than obummer, M I RITE?”

So Kislyak is heading back to Russia. Probably for the best, since his cover is blown. Talk about a successful career in Washington! The guy was apparently everywhere.

What a weird world this has suddenly become. Republicans are cool with it if Trump colluded with Russia because…I don’t know…Supreme Court picks I guess?
. . . or because. . . they’re universally terrible people? :)
Or because…the major RNC players are in on it?
Look, everyone knows that the rich are the right ones to rule us all. Whether they are our rich or some other countries’, doesn’t really matter that much.
Agreed a must read.
Washington Post is been doing some extraordinary reporting.
During this whole time, I assume that we were making retaliatory cyberattacks against Russian official. I don’t get why making sure that pictures of all the Oligarchs mistress were sent to their wives and other mistresses wasn’t being done. If we have the capability of draining their banks accounts we should have been doing that. Along with hacking their cars so they end up stranded on their way to their dachas.
If they escalate then we deal with it at the time.
Today Donnie is happy to confirm, just in case there was any doubt about his last set of tweets, that yes, the Russians did meddle in the election:
Of course, this being Donnie, this admission is framed by outright lies (he says Obama did nothing - sorry, NOTHING - about it, when the whole point of the WaPo article is that Obama tried to do something but was thwarted at every turn by Republicans like Mitch McConnell) and probable lies (that there’s no evidence that anyone on Team Trump ever colluded with the Russians in any way.)
But if a Trump follower ever tells you, “There’s nothing at all to this Russian stuff, it’s all made up by the Deep State,” tell them, “Trump has said the Russians meddled in the election several times. Why don’t you believe your President?”

These people are immune to logic or coherent thought. I already know the retort to this: they will roll their eyes and call you a sore loser libtard, cuck, or snowflake.
They will then proceed to simultaneously believe that collusion happened, but framed in such a way to make Hillary/Obama look bad, and that collusion also did not happen and you and the fake news MSM just need to get over having a President that is “actually getting things done” now.
Speaking from experience, here.
Something like this maybe?

Precisely like that, haha!
That’s basically Congress.
Well obviously Obama was a Kenyan Muslim recruited by Iran to collude with Russia so that Trump would win and then get impeached.
I mean, how much more obvious could it be?

It can’t be just me, but him saying specifically, “They don’t have tape of us colluding!” is REALLY ODD right?

Find something from Trump that isn’t really odd.
Moving the goalposts from “evidence” of collusion to “tapes” of collusion.
