Putin is Hitler. Trump is his loyal, stooge that is helping make that 2nd-rate thug a pestilence on the planet.
And so is the rest of the treasonous GOP that enables him.

(12,154 posts)From The New York Times, June 11, 2018:
We dont know Trumps motivation. Is it blackmail? Bribery? Or just a generalized sympathy for autocrats and hatred for democracy? And we may never find out: If he shuts down the Mueller investigation and Republicans retain control of Congress, the cover-up may hold indefinitely. But his actions tell the story.
As I said, however, this isnt a column about Trump. It is, instead, about the people who are enabling his betrayal of America: the inner circle of officials and media personalities who are willing to back him up whatever he says or does, and the wider set of politicians basically the entire Republican delegation in Congress who have the power and constitutional obligation to stop what hes doing, but wont lift a finger in Americas defense.
