McCain has registered his genuine disgust with Trump\u2019s traitorous suckupery to Putin and his spittle directed at our intelligence and law enforcement communities.\u00a0 McConnell has pretended to care.\u00a0 So has Ryan.\u00a0 Other GOP accomplices have made the proper noises.\u00a0 Even FOX could not dig down deep inside and find the lies necessary to excuse Trump\u2019s repulsive performance (though I\u2019m sure Hannity will find a way<\/a>.\u00a0 Even Gingrich made a feint of pretending to care (while offering Trump a clear sign that he is still not beyond the pale for this pack of equally traitorous swine):<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nBut you and I both know how this kabuki plays out.\u00a0 All this sound and fury from the accomplices in the GOP Congress is the normal \u201cthoughts and prayers\u201d crap they put out because they have not the slightest intention of acting.\u00a0 In the end, this party of nihilist predators will do nothing\u2013absolutely nothing<\/em>\u2013to stop him.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because they do not give a damn about the US except as raw material to exploit and a population to bleed white before they head for their tax shelters defended by Blackwater from the righteous fury of their victims.\u00a0 These people are *enemies* the United States of America and if we do not defend ourselves from them, they will continue to do untold damage to our country.<\/p>\nOnce again, the Party of Trump demonstrates that, for them, accusation is a form of confession.\u00a0 When they passionately accuse others of something\u2026<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\"
