I mean how much worse can it get. Sending the Spiceman out for his daily beatdown obviously wasn't working.

Yes, if everyone got along with everyone that would be a good thing. Kind of surprising no one's done that yet.

They are enjoying all the fruits of government service and not fulfilling their oaths to the Constitution and the country.

I suppose I remain a naive and hopeless idealist but I assume between the dozens or so Congress members that get briefings, one would stand up and capture that Profile in Courage award. Should be low hanging fruit here. Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in prison for opposing an illegitimate regime; these ****ers are holding the goods on incriminating evidence on Trump but not acting? If anyone is in a position to act and get top-tier legal defense and tremendous institutional support, it's a Congressmember. They'd almost surely never see the inside of a prison if there's any there there.

Like I said, I have just enough slim hopes in our country that's not what is happening.

That's all well and good until you're the one that has to do the 27 years.

The missile test happened in 2014 right? Why do these guys keep talking about it like it just happened? Or did I misunderstand that.

Or, you know, didn't come and get him a long time ago. Just say Putin is on the phone or something.

They could have at least cut him off an hour ago.

Apparently Russian aggressive actions recently are the media's fault too.

Acosta has a lot of experience but I agree he needs to man up even more than he is. This isn't funny for ratings sake anymore, they need to fight back & not let up.

Oddly enough, the high levels officials behaving the MOST like Trump is compromised are... the Trump administration. Not Senate Dems, who you'd think would be flipping out.

Right. Don't get me wrong -- there's a tons to believe THE WORST. Like Trump's Administration looks guilty as ****. BY THEIR OWN BEHAVIOR.

I can't make sense of it either. But I feel like if the reality is close to the bottom end of the range for Trump (e.g., he's corrupted by Putin) then Congressional behavior here is inexcusable.

Those crafty Democrats are so good they can hold up cabinet appointment that just need a simple majority even though Republicans have that majority.
