GOP pols spineless amid fake-news Russian ‘collusion’ scandal
Boston Herald ^ | May 19, 2017 | Howie Carr

Where the hell are all the Republicans on Capitol Hill?

Have you ever seen — or not seen — such a bunch of cowardly, spineless front-running, back-pedaling political curs?

The sniveling Beltway GOP is doing their best to MAGA — Make America Gutless Again.

You could at least understand their terror if there was even a scintilla, an iota, a shred of evidence that Donald Trump had “colluded” with the Russians, whatever that means. But there isn’t, so why are they cowering in abject fear of the pajama boys in the fake-news media and their Democrat fellow travelers?

The Republicans are all wringing their hands and whimpering how “troubled” and “disturbed” and “concerned” they are by these allegations of … what exactly? The solons claim to be hearing “echoes” of Watergate. It’s all the usual suspects — John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and now Kelly Ayotte’s replacement in the RINO chorus line, Ben Sasse of Nebraska.

Most of these people have always hated Trump. They were hoping the summer White House would be reopening next weekend at Walker Point in Kennebunkport. Think Gov. Charlie Baker, that RINO’s RINO. Now they’re saying, “I told you so.” They’re being quoted (anonymously) in stories with headlines like “President Mike Pence,” as if the lynch mob would be satisfied with just Trump’s scalp.

The few Republicans in Congress who even dare to go in front of a camera call for “immediate classified briefings,” or they try to issue mealy-mouthed on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand statements while quivering in fear.

“It may be something very serious,” said Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), “or it may be nothing.”

Like Inspector Clouseau, he suspects everyone, he suspects no one.

But most of the Republicans are totally MIA, just like they were in October after the “Access Hollywood” tapes came out. The difference is, back then there was actually something to run from, plus it looked like Trump was going down in a landslide.

But now he’s the president. And this “scandal” is like a political version of the old book, “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.” If you ever wondered what it was like during the Salem witch trials back in 1692, just turn on CNN or MSNBC.

These Republicans are now declaiming that this special prosecutor will be “bipartisan,” and that his probe will be over in a matter of months. Are they serious? Look at this guy Robert Mueller. He went to prep school with John Kerry, he was brought to Boston by Bill Weld, he was appointed by a Bush and worked for an Obama.

Totally on the level, in other words.

Let me be the first to say, if you want to hide something real good, just stick it in one of Robert Mueller’s law books.

The jackals have no evidence — even Maxine Waters and Dianne Feinstein have conceded that. James Comey said under oath earlier this month that there had been no interference from the White House. The Democrats just can’t accept the fact that they lost the election. Period. They refuse to realize that sometimes, as Shakespeare wrote, the fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves.

Instead, they spin their fantasies. Impeachment, they say, is in the air. Not to mention a whiff of fascism, according to Comrade Chris Matthews.

Yep, there’s a whiff of something in the air all right, but it isn’t fascism. Just hope I don’t get any on my shoe.

Its also time to put the National Review out of business. I can't believe the garbage they have been putting out lately. I have been a regular reader for many years but for the last few months you would think a magic wand made them all democrats except for one or two of them.

The GOP wants Trump gone as much as the Democrats do, they want to get back to business as usual, importing cheap labor and selling out America.

Justin Amash had better be putting out resumes for some mall jobs, because he isn’t going back if I can help it.

Howie Carr is spot on. Trump becomes President, with an agenda to carry out, and Republican politicians/operatives are colluding with the FakeNewsMSM/Democrats/DC elite etc in continuing the insanity of Fake Russian narrative 24/7.

Trump supporters should list what they want to be the narrative and concentrate on nothing else.
go on the offensive 24/7.
acknowledge but ignore the FakeNewsMSM “leaks”...don’t be reactionaries.

dig deeper on Seth Rich.
demand Mueller resign;
demand Podesta/Clinton Russian deals are investigated;
get rid of Johnny DeStefano & replace with someone who moves on hires who will be loyal to the Administration.
demand Republicans get on with the Trump agenda.

concentrate on the President’s positive actions - there are many - and make demands for future moves, in particular that he pull out of the Paris Agreement as promised, because it is the bedrock of the globalist agenda.

A polarized country, getting more polarized by the day; politically, geographically, culturally, and ethnically.

A press that supports only one side with Marxist fascist tendencies, ignoring due process and rule of law.

A government bureaucracy that supports only one side and is willing to subvert the law and sacrifice the country for it.

Where does this ultimately take the country? Eventually...civil war.

LOL! Perfect! I always wondered where that rifle of his wound up after that convention in 2014...

In the dumpster? Or did he give it to Reid?

No, they wanted Hillary to win. They prefer a Democrat in the WH so they don't have to actually produce any results, and have someone else to blame. Then the can use the threat of a Democrat WH and congress to scare us into voting for them. Now they want Trump to lose in 2020 so thing can go back to "normal".

I believe the only people who run for office and are allowed to win are dirty. Decent people are destroyed during the process. Those who win are the ones who can be controlled.

People still say Perot was crazy. Wrong! He was made to appear crazy and way too many people bought it. Now they’re doing to Trump what they did to Perot. It’s just that Trump slipped in under the wire.

As “they” keep up the attacks there will be more and more people start to believe the lies. Including some on here.

Don’t send republicans money! I got a letter from the Republican national party last week. Wrote across the pledge card “you do not support Trump!” Sent my membership back in their evevlope and told them to keep it.

Now that I think about it, who gets to be VP if President Trump is removed?
