  1. But not shameful enough to reject his POTUS candidate, I guess ?

  2. Well, it’s your party in lockstep with him, comrade.

  3. Maybe the Putin meeting is finally a bridge too far for the wing of the GOP that still distrusts Russia. Not that Flake will do anything about it, but there could finally be a critical mass against Trump from the right… Maybe?? Hopefully??

  4. For half a century Republicans have been bitching about FDR and Yalta.

    The only good thing that happened today is they no longer can do that.

  5. “This is shameful”.

    Yeah, and I’ll bet Susan Collins is “concerned.”

    Do somthing about it you feckless fuck, you cusillanimous punt.
