conducted amongst gop members on Capital Hill. They are still happily spending Russian money, so of course they think Putin's puppet is great. Meanwhile those of us with still active brain cells are appalled at this orange bastard's actions. Where is Princess Ivanka these days??

That implies we survive the next few years... I don't really know if we will without major damage to our Constitution and our lives in general...

Every day we think it can't get worse, then it does..
