by Noah THE MOSCOW 7As the meme says, "Have to ask why." Well, do we really, really have to ask? 7 of the Republican Party's "best people" are invited to Moscow. 7 Republicans. 6 senators, 1 congresswoman. No Democrats invited. No Democrats allowed. Oh, they made a little game of it, temporarily inviting New Hampshire's Jeanne Shaheen, but she didn't make the final cut. Not qualified, I guess. No room on the plane. Only the treasonous 7 allowed. The Red Menace used to refer only to the Russians. How fitting that it now also means the red party.Remember these names: Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS), Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX), Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), Sen. Steve Daines (R- MT), Sen. John Thune (R-SD), Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND).The not so magnificent 7 meet with top Russian counterparts for several days. No witnesses as to what was said. Sounds kosher, doesn't it? Did they get a tour of Russia's cyber-ops operations? Laying some groundwork for November? Providing some useful voting district info? I guess it wouldn't be the first time. I guess the senators had to do the meeting since it appears that Trump's usual gang of idiots is under investigation just weren't available right now. Hard to travel with an bracelet around your ankle or an indictment around your neck. Besides, the Orange Fascist wanted to send his big boys in.6 of the 7 all end up in Moscow on July 4th. In your face America! Sen. Daines went back to DC for a photo-op at a fireworks display. Gotta show your patriotism, right? The last meeting takes place 10 days before their leader who pretends to be our leader but is really the Manchurian President, our leader who "talks with Putin all the time," plans to meet with BFF Putin face to face, also with no witnesses, a few months before our 2018 elections. Hey, it takes time to prepare, but, not that much time for a country that already fiddled with our elections two years ago.The Moscow 7 cynically wind up their meetings with the Russian half of the meeting team the very day after the Senate Intelligence Committee very quietly announced that yeah, it's official, what we've always known, what 17 intelligence operations and the intelligence people of countries that are somehow, at least for a while, still our allies have all said: Russia wanted their boy to win so they helped. Now, they want insurance that their boy will have continued control of the Senate and the House, not just the Supreme Court. The Moscow 7 quickly mumbled "warnings" not to do it again. Nods and winks all around.When Trump stands at his rallies and says a Red Wave is coming in November, believe him. He's already looking forward to saying the polls predicted other wise. He's already looking forward to saying the "Fake News" was wrong yet again. Red Wave. And a big smile from Big Daddy Vladdy.
