- - Snap Shots of YOUR Republican Party, 21st Century Style (http://www.politicalchat.org/showthread.php?t=6130)

Listened to this this morning. A yearly tradition of NPR's for many years now.

From a time when the 4th was a day off for MOST not anything like today. We went out, over to a son's and everything was just about open and going strong.

I venture most just think it is fireworks day! Forgot if or even knew what or why.

Eight Republicans pick the worst possible place to celebrate July 4

Quote:

“What does July 4th mean to me? Freedom,” Sen. Ron Johnson chirruped on Twitter on Independence Day.

For the Wisconsin Republican, it meant, specifically, the freedom to spend July 4 in Moscow with seven other Republican lawmakers posing for propaganda photos with Russian officials. On the same day it was reported in Britain that two more people had been poisoned by a Russian nerve agent British officials say came from Vladimir Putin’s regime. On the day after the Senate Intelligence Committee affirmed the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that Russia interfered in the election to help Donald Trump.

Quote:

Yet despite this lavish display of the freedom to kowtow, they didn’t get the meeting they hoped for with Putin himself. He was busy, the Kremlin said.

Quote:

So, what do we call these Red Square Republicans? My interlocutors on Twitter suggest “Moscow Mules.” Or, given the position they put themselves in before our masters in Moscow, perhaps they should be called the Prostrate Eight: Sens. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Hoeven (N.D.), John Neely Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), John Thune (S.D.) and Johnson, plus Rep. Kay Granger (Tex.).

I would call them idiot sycophants.

And from the visit noted above, how about this?

Is the GOP now in love with the Commies, first DPRK and now Russia?

Now the administration comes out against motherhood!

Trump administration's opposition to breastfeeding resolution sparks outrage

"US delegation to the World Health Assembly reportedly deployed threats to try and browbeat nations into backing off the resolution."

Big corporations make and promote formula....

In at least five state and national races across the country, the Republican Party is dealing with an uncomfortable problem. Their party’s candidates are either a card-carrying Nazi, a Holocaust denier, a proud white supremacist, or all of the above.

Russia believes that only Democrats care about election-meddling and Crimea, Syria

Kennedy said he and his colleagues received briefings from officials at the U.S. embassy in Moscow ahead of the meetings. During those briefings, senators were informed that the Russian officials were under the impression that only Democrats were critical of Russia for its election-meddling and its incursions into eastern Europe and the Middle East.

I wonder which Lying Dotard could have given them that idea.:confused::cool:

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh piled up credit card debt by purchasing Nationals tickets

It's amazing how little he's worth, other than his house. It seems he must have piss-poor money management skills. At least he hasn't bankrupted 6 business like the Lying Dotard.:D

Another Trumpie bites the dust. The bigoted, racist CEO of Papa John’s pizza “resigns” after using a racial slur on a conference call. Whell, you’ll have to find a new pizza joint.
