Meanwhile, in other news . . .

Dispute over Russia reflects growing Republican resistance to Trump

"Key members of the Senate and House have been outspoken in challenging his views of Russia and its interference in the U.S. election, warning of potential conflicts of interest arising from Trump's far-flung business interests"

"There is also friction over Trump's selection of ExxonMobil chief executive Rex Tillerson to be secretary of state - with GOP advisers warning that a growing number of Republican senators may be unwilling to vote to confirm Tillerson because of his ties to Russia.

"No issue has so clearly divided Trump and top Republicans lawmakers as much as his dismissal of U.S. intelligence agencies that attributed the hacking of the Democratic National Committee and other political targets to Russian operatives. The tensions were exposed over the weekend, as Trump belittled the CIA following a Washington Post report that the agency believed that Moscow favored Trump in the election while several Republicans, including Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), joined with Democrats to call for an investigation into the matter."

South Carolina's Lindsay Graham has started publicly outlining places he might be willing to oppose Trump. He is against the Mexican border wall and is delivering warnings against Trump's intention to revoke legal status for undocumented immigrants brought here as children.

Graham, a traditional Republican foreign policy hawk, strongly disagrees with Trump's attempt to improve ties with Russia.

"I am going to be kind of a hard ass" on Russia, Graham told reporters recently. "We can’t sit on the sidelines" and let cyber attacks blamed on Russia "go unanswered."

The early stirrings of opposition from Senate Republicans are a sign that the New York businessman, who has never held public office, might run into harsh political realities.

The same article also says:

"The Russian are not our friends," McConnell told reporters at a scheduled year-end news conference. "This simply cannot be a partisan issue."

McConnell also expressed strong support for the intelligence community, putting him at odds with Trump's public doubts about the reliability of the nation's intelligence agencies.

"I have the highest confidence in the intelligence community and especially the Central Intelligence Agency," McConnell said.

McConnell's calls for a nonpartisan approach to the subject echoed the sentiments of the Senate's new top Democrat, who also vowed Monday to keep any congressional investigation of Russia from devolving into partisan warfare.

McConnell announced plans for a Senate probe the day after Schumer and Sens. Lindsey O. Graham, R-S.C., and John McCain, R-Ariz., – the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee – and Democrat Jack Reed, R.I., the ranking Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, called for a bipartisan probe. Their calls came after The Washington Post reported the CIA's conclusion that Russia's activities were intended to tip the scales to help Trump.

When asked, McConnell on Monday also praised most of Trump's Cabinet nominees as "outstanding" choices, but declined to weigh in on the potential nomination of Exxon-Mobil chief executive Rex Tillerson to serve as the next secretary of state – signaling that McConnell, like other Republicans, may have doubts about selecting an oil executive with close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin as the nation's top diplomat.


McConnell is only lying when his lips are moving.

Same old shit. Again.

Indeed. And the guy shows no sign he's every going to get it -- or wants to, Constitution or no.

Hence GOP leaders concern. Though you're the only one I've ever seen call them "alt-left," even among the parrots repeating the made up term.

You are so stupid, and so full of shit. First you breathlessly quote Mitch McConnell as if his words are the words of God, then you post that if McConnells lips are moving he is lying. What I posted in posts 164 and 165 above are your own stupid hypocritical words replying to your own stupid hypocritical posts.

The GOP has always tried to stop the Trump Train, the lying media has, crooked Hillary has (after she and the DNC cheated poor stupid Bernie)... And every time, when they pronounce President Trump dead, he just comes back stronger.

And I LOVE it. Put on some popcorn and bring on the Supreme Court nomination! I must have died and gone to heaven.

So you're glad Trump won. Good for you.

Now, do you have anything factual to add to this thread? Something with more substance than "Nuh-uh," "You're a poopy head," and "they told me to call everything alt-left"?

Because here's the thing -- I listen carefully to the few people who have something positive to say and analysis to support it. It's just that's it's damn rare, and his mania is far more common.

So you can celebrate, name-call, dance, masturbate, whatever.

But in the real world, actions have consequences, and being concerned about what those consequences will be and how we might best respond is prudent.

When you grow up, perhaps you'll understand.

As if you are a fountain of genius, alternately quoting someone as a great authority and then pronouncing that same man a serial liar.

When you finally manage to scrape together half a milligram of gravitas let us know.

Nobody whered that reason. It is not possible, since far far more secure systems have been broken into by Russians, like Hillarys, remember? all the stuff going to come off her server from Wikileaks, that never did, and since a challenge was made to the Russians by Trump, I am sure Russia took him up on it.

We have yet to see any real evidence or hear actual expert testimony regarding who exposed that we had a corrupt pathological liar (who was running a laundering scam) running for president. The left wing media says that some of Obama's people anonymously said that it was Russia, but Obama's people refused to discuss what they supposedly know with Congress.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4037220/CIA-officials-REFUSE-brief-Congress-truth-Russian-hacking-claims-rebuked-GOP-congressman-disgraceful-move.html

We are told that 17 agencies agreed to a few written paragraphs, but there is no signature. And no one will testify?

It is worth noting that Obama's people, even Obama himself, swore that we would all save thousands on our healthcare. We are still waiting on that. Obama keeps lying to us, his minions keep lying to us, but only the Grubers believe any of it these days. Think of it, Trump is a Nazi. He is KKK. He is a serial groper, he is Hitler, he is the devil (note the horns formed by the "M" above his head in the photo below).



He is a bigot, a sexist, a homophobe. He is accused of child rape, he is stupid, a failed businessman, he will bring back slavery and start WW III, crash the economy and destroy the planet. What haven't they said?

Just like they did with Dick Cheney. Just like they did to George W., Sarah Palin, McCain, Romney. It's getting old:

"Wolf!"

"Wooolf!!!"

"Wooooooolf!!!!"

"Hitler!!!"

The devil!!!"

"The KKK!!!"

Hmm. Wonder why no one comes running any more.

Because they're pussies, if a little bad press frightens them that much.
The gibbering mouther is clearly in that camp, even if you're in denial of the fact. He's the one man tough enough to face down daesh in the middle east, but he's also terribly upset because one of the actors on SNL is being rude about him.
