Yeah, and ol' JD doesn't have an issue with that. Apparently Republicans can endanger national security without fear of reprisal.

"National security" is just words. That makes JD a disciple of Humpty Dumpty who said "Words mean what I pay them to mean, nothing more and nothing less." For JD, they mean nothing period.

Yup. And it makes me wonder how our country has managed to generate such a group of amoral, self-interested officials.

Well, it did take more than two centuries and a lot of help from Vlad the Bad.

I think Vlad, as a trained KGB guy, understood we had pressure points that could be exploited, particularly on race and anti-Semitism. It would have been negligence on his part if he didn't take advantage of it. So, yes, he's been horrible for Russia, and he's led his country into a debacle in Ukraine, but the GOP might just save his ass, and that happens to be the most cost effective way to win that war.

Yep, Trump gave him a waiver because Jared is so brilliant. He brought peace to the Middle East, ya know.

... and was honored with a $2 billion deal for it. Wonder if TFG ever got a piece of that action? (No, I don't really wonder, I just want some investigative reporter to find the smoking gun.)
