Seems like most of those today that won't quit talking about Trump/Russia are the same ones that if they were around then would be HUGE fans of McCarthy totally in agreement with "OMG THERE ARE COMMUNISTS ON EVERY AMERICAN STREET CORNER JUST WAITING TO SUBVERT AMERICA!!!".

Sad they can't see the extreme irony.

The McCarthy hearings were a bunch of witch trials. But there is a seriously something very wrong with the Trump-Russia connection, and it should be uncovered.

Well, accept for the fact that there were really witches.

The materials that first made their way to the surface in the early 1990s -- records from Moscow's Russian Center for the Preservation and Study of Documents of Recent History -- provided proof past peradventure that the Communist Party of the United States was subsidized by the Soviet government and used as a base for extensive espionage.

Now comes more from vaults of the National Security Agency. In the 1940s, the NSA had a top-secret program called Venona which intercepted (and much later decoded) messages between Moscow and its American agents. The recent publication of a batch of Venona transcripts gives evidence that the Roosevelt and Truman administrations were rife with communist spies and political operatives who reported, directly or indirectly, to the Soviet government, much as their anti-communist opponents charged.

Trump saying Obama wire tapped his phone (and apparently his microwave according to Kelly Ann Conway, lol).
He accused Obama of a felony offense. His only proof is his delusional paranoia and the conspiracy theory gibberish
that Faux news is always coming up with.

The Trump-Russia hearings are more absurd and ridiculous.

But was everyone accused of being a witch (many who had careers ruined by the accusation) actually a witch? Or is 'accuse them all and maybe we'll find some guilty ones' an acceptable practice?

The extreme irony I see is the same people that ignore the FBI investigation into Trump's campaign were screaming Lock Her Up. Time will tell if the same is said about Trump.

There were -- and still are -- communists in the United States. Just look at our universities. Just look at Jill Stein praising Fidel Castro.

Many of the people McCarthy accused of being spies were in fact spies. We found that out when the KGB opened its files.

The Trump-Russia connection is b.s. No evidence for it. And even if there were, Russia is not our enemy. We share the international space station, and even did joint military exercises with them back in the nineties. We've been doing business with them for decades. Yes, they're a rival, and they're not very democratic. Neither is China. Neither is Saudi Arabia.

To those who say Putin is bad because he invaded Crimea, look at what we've done in Iraq.

In Afghanistan.

In Syria.

In Libya.

In Somalia.

In Cuba.

In Nicaragua.

In Honduras.

In Guatemala.

In Chile.

In El Salvador.

In Panama.

In the Dominican Republic.

In Iran.

In Vietnam.

In Cambodia.

In Laos.

In the Philippines.

In Hawaii.

In Mexico.

In Puerto Rico.

You know, all those countries that "attacked" us -- LOL.
