Half of them are caught up in the investigation and are looking at prison time. They want to get rid of Mueller just as much as Rump.

The narrative on patriotism is in the R's hands, and they are free to interpret it however they want. In this instance, protecting the "president" at all costs is the "patriotic" thing to do.

We need to be making a much bigger stink about the narrative. We need to reclaim some of these terms like "patriotism".

And I thought if I worked my whole life, paid my taxes, had a family that when the time came to enjoy them I could.

GOP is going to make it real hard for me to do that, arent they.

vote to be reelected. There are, what, 5 swing right now? Flake is not running for reelection, but the rest care a great deal how voters in their states are going to vote.

Power comes from the people. We give it and we can take it away. Why else do you think these massive betrayers of duty would bother to not just run people down in the street if they were too stupid to keep out of their way?
