Neocons ARE liberals. Their entire philosophy derives from Trotsky and Strauss.

Modern neocons trace back to pro-war Democrats back in the 1960s, led by Scoop Jackson.

The U.S. is not a democracy.

Russia is not a threat.

The real enemy is the U.S. government and everyone in it--including Donald Trump.

Oh I see, you belong to the "Who you gonna believe honey, me or your lyin eyes" faction? Of course Putin will deny it but it doesn't mean he should get a pass on it. You know damn well Putin knew about it, that kind of cyber action is not conducted without direction from the top.

+1. You nailed it.

Imagine if today's Republicans were in charge on December 7, 1941:

"There's no evidence Japan attacked us."

"Emperor Hirohito is the victim of a witch hunt!"

"Who cares if Hawaii was attacked? Only liberals live there."

Default To accommodate President Trump, the Republican Party has betrayed its principles on issues including Russia, immigration

With only a handful of exceptions, the GOP has devolved into a collection of tRump lickspittles.

This will come back to haunt them, as Russiagate reflects on the entire GOP, unlike Watergate, which was limited to Nixon and his inner circle. Now, the Pub congress is actively doing whatever they can to block, stall or end the investigation. Those boys are scared spitless, and it's not because they love tRump.

The Friday indictments give a strong hint about congress colluding with Russian agents.

So far, this hasn't even been a ripple in the Russiagate scandal.

It's going to be a storm surge before it's all done.

Yep. It"s hard to comprehend what has happened. Our country was attacked during the 2016 election and the primary response from Trumpist is that "everybody does it". Lets just let Russia walk all over us.

Obama had the full support of the GOP while he was president. Mitch McConnell did all he could to facilitate Obama's policies including the ACA and his nomination of a Supreme Court Justice. *Sarcasm*

Would you be saying it was “attacked” if Hillary hadn’t lost?
