by NoahTonight's meme is a rhetorical question, of course. Obviously, Republicans reached the point where treason became acceptable to them quite a while ago. They look at their treason on the one hand and the money to be made through the additional "tax reform" they aim to pass in September on the other, and guess which hand wins!
by NoahWhat would Traitor Don have to say to Osama bin Laden in some alternate timeline, in secret 'one on one only' meeting? Would it be "Just don't fly any planes into my Trump Towers" or would it be something else; something to do with Kushner properties in Manhattan or Ivanka's shoe factories in China?
New polling shows that while normal people are aghast at Trump's treasonous behavior in Helsinki and his supine posture towards Putin, Republicans overwhelmingly approve. A CBS News poll shows that 83% of Democrats and 53% of Independents disapprove of how Trump handles Putin, while 68% of Republicans approve.
The Oval Office by Nancy OhanianOn July 10, right-wing lunatic-- many would say psychotic-- John Stormer died at 90. He was the author of the 1964 neo-fascist, self-published propaganda tome, None Dare Call It Treason, a conspiracy-theory book that certainly inspired the coming of Fox News and Alex Jones.
Traitor by Chip ProserShould I keep this time slot as a treason space? Like I said, yesterday, this story sure isn't just the regular one news cycle Trump circus. As the New York Times reported yesterday, "While the T-word has been thrown around on the fringes of the political debate about other presidents or politicians from time to time, never in the modern era has it become part of the national conversation in such a prominent way.
Utah is a very red state-- but it isn't exactly a Trump red state. The PVI is R+20 but in 2016 Trump only wound up with 45.5% of the vote. That's right More Utahans voted against him than for him. Hillary won the biggest county in the state, Salt Lake-- 175,863 to 138,043 (with McMullin pulling 79,880. Shocking as it may sound to people who aren't aware of Utah politics, Trump only took 33% of Salt Lake County.

by NoahWhat Trump did in Helsinki yesterday was not just display his incredible weakness and treachery. Monday's act of collusion was not just an example of his contempt for the rule of law and contempt for our national security. It is more than a Neville Chamberlain moment. It is as if FDR had sided with the Emperor of Japan after Pearl Harbor.
Useful Idiots, Enablers by Chip ProserI'm guessing Jonathan Chait and Glenn Greenwald are not sitting down for some blinis and caviar at the Russian Tea Room any time soon.
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.
