Russian Nesting Doll seems like too obvious as a metaphor . . .

I have been saying (here and elsewhere) for quite some time that the GOP as a whole is at least complicit in the Russian program to subvert and undermine American Democracy. There are obvious moles (Dana Rohrbacher, anyone?) within the Republican Party, to be sure. But now it looks like the entire structure of the GOP may be wholly owned by Putin and his cronies.

I'm not alone in seeing this

The Big Damn Pause Button

Today we have smoking gun PROOF of Trump campaign collusion with Russia to throw the Presidential election and steal the Presidency. Congress must stop. We have an illegitimate government. It appears that the corruption may also involve current members of the Senate and House. Government must pause until this is resolved.

Contact your congressperson and your senator. Tell them that you want to no bills consider, no laws passed, no votes taken, nothing done until our Democracy has been restored.

Manafort

Paul Manafort was paid millions of dollars to be an agent for Vladimir Putin. That's the same Paul manafort that ran the Trump presidential campaign. So Flynn, Sessions and Manafort all work for the Russians.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Treason Light

So, actual Presidential Candidate Donald Trump has commited a sort of treason.

I'm not kidding. Trump has suggested that Russia (a foreign power, for those keeping score) should commit an act of cyber warfare against a former United States Secretary of State.

I'm not the only one who finds this troubling.

Trump = Treason seems the sort of thing that should worry voters.
