General Discussion

... must be laid at the feet of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and his "Useful Idiot", Donald John Trump.
Trump has been in Putin's pocket for decades, and gladly does what he's told, so he's been Putin's willing tool to destroy America from within. Putin has harbored a white-hot hatred for the United States his entire life, and that's very likely the biggest reason he joined the KGB. Trump hates America because his malicious, greedy dreams have been constantly thwarted by something he hates even more: Laws and regulations. In his diseased mind, institutions like the judiciary exist only to serve his malign purposes; they're not supposed to get in his way.
It is an obscenity that those who have the power to rein in Trump's excesses are too chickenshit to defy him. They know that he makes a point of amassing volumes of dirt on those he considers enemies, real or imagined. And, being Republicans, they're more concerned with their reelection than with fulfilling their Oath of Office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from enemies foreign and domestic, so nothing has been said or done about Trump's brazen treachery.
The M$M is bought and paid for by his billionaire donors, and their fear of reprisal from his shadow militia of braindead supporters keeps any discussion of "Russia, Russia, Russia", as Trump labeled any potential investigation into his treason, from ever seeing the light of day. The proof of it is out there in plain sight; but his minions won't say the quiet part out loud, and threaten anyone who might with all manner of horrible consequences.
Here's hoping that, after a Blue Tsunami in '26, the new Democratic leadership in the House will splatter his fat, pimply ass all over the landscape with the exhaustively documented proof of his treason. Metaphorically speaking, of course. Heh, heh, heh. And they should make sure that the public knows that continued support of this monster by Senate Republicans will be the death knell of the political careers of those that don't wind up in prison.
I have a bottle of Dom Perignon chilling in anticipation of his demise, political or literal, which ever comes first.
