They've spent years only blaming Democrats (Clintons, Obama) and they are also scared of their voters. A Congresswoman is probably going to lose her primary because she criticized Trump two years ago. The infamous Mark Sanford, another never-Trumper in SC may lose his. 

 

The only ones who speak up are leaving office. 

 

I laughed when I read that Mitt Romney is apparently going around planning to lead a wing in the Senate that will stand up to Trump. Good luck with that. I still remember those awkward photos when he wanted to be SoS.

This ruling concerning Ohio is terrible news.

I ask myself that every day, but I agree with you the way he is alienating our allies is pretty disturbing. Carl is right that a lot of Republican Senators are cowards. 

 

Ben Sasse in my state is a perfect example. He's slipped a few times so I know he is not on the Trump train, but he's a pure coward and wants to get reelected.  My other senator seems to be a true believer or she does a much better job faking it. It's just crazy the way all of these "leaders" have gone along with this monster.

The truth is that too many on the right are more concerned about remaining in the political spotlight than they are about saving the damn country.  That's why it's up to the rest of us to do the right thing and vote these people out of office.  Complacency just isn't an option anymore.

Just like the G-7 summit, Mango Mussolini plans to leave Singapore earlier than planned.  The man definitely doesn't want to do the hard work of diplomacy or negotiating. 

 

Donald (if he insists on calling PM Trudeau, Justin then I'm calling him Donald) wants as few people in the room as possible so that he can give his version of events and when challenged, he'll just say Kim is lying.

From everything I've seen today, this "agreement" the two signed is a non-specific, broad bullet-point style one page memo (for lack of a better word).  The media, specifically CBS This Morning, are gushing.  

 

Don't get me wrong, if this does indeed lead to long-lasting peace in Korea, that's a win for everyone.  But something still strikes me that this was all just too easy.  There are manipulations behind the scenes that haven't been revealed yet but I'm sure Putin has a hand in this.

 

In the course of 2 days, trump has aligned himself with a communist and disavowed our allies.  The MSM are ignoring it.

Democrats won a special election in Wisconsin's senate, Mark "Appalachian trail" Sanford lost his Congressional primary to a woman who seems like the evil twin of Leslie Knope, but all I have to say is this man won Maine's GOP Senate primary.

I'd forgotten how much fun the Harlem Shake videos were (well not his).

 

Here's the Democrat who is running:

Something tells me Angus King won't have to campaign this year.

    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.

    • Lunacy has enough money to buy stylish clothes, hair/make-up, an apartment, a weapon and get custom, glossy posters targets. OK. 
    • For some reason I thought Sly had already passed. A true legend.
