This dope (Johnson) is my senator. I am so ashamed.

dday52 · January 13, 2019, 8:15pm

No, Johnson is the dumbest. I know, he’s from my state and he weaseled his way in.

jootjoint · January 13, 2019, 8:38pm

Another damn TRAITOR!

They ALL must go!

news247 · January 13, 2019, 9:27pm

Yes Tena, we have got to get rid of him right away.

He is a traitor, dangerous to the USA.

Dems: Let’s get moving!!

And don’t forget - protecting Vlady as well. That’s really the big one for the GOP. Who would ever have thought that the GOP would become an extension of the Russian Communist Party?

Ron Johnson, I am one of your constituents. From your recent statements one can surmise that you are either stupid or willfully ignorant. Stating Trump is “unorthodox” is a polite euphemism.

I’ve seen enough evidence now to know that he is a divisive incompetent and an agent of Russia. Either of these conclusions is adequate for removal from office. One of these conclusions is adequate for imprisonment.

Ron Johnson, the question now is will you continue to provide cover for a divisive incompetent and a traitor?

TRUMP == TRAITOR

Well, I’m not going to get too worked up about some GOP moron dismissing the importance of Trumpp’s constant efforts to keep his communications with Russia secret from everybody, including his own administration and US intelligence agencies.

It’s not like the moron is the Chair of the Senate Homeland Security committee or something.

Concealing is the #1 bylaw in trumps constitution

[Quote] Tapper pressed later: “Are you okay with the fact that the Kremlin knows more about these meetings than U.S. intelligence and the national security committee?” he asked.

“In the end I’m going to judge this president based on his actions,” Johnson replied.[/Quote] Yes, that is what the question is asking you to do judge the president on his actions towards Russia. How about answering the question?

I’ve no objection to judging President Trump on his actions. So far as I can tell Trump has tried to sell us out to Russians every chance he’s had.

The things touted as him being tough on Russia are either points on which Congress has forced his hand such as sanctions or kabuki such as bombing an empty Syrian airport.

It’s all cute and everything that he thinks the president is just kind of quirky. But we have the right to know what’s going on when the president meets with other heads of state. That’s why there is a Presidential Records Act.

“‘In the end I’m going to judge this president based on his actions,’ Johnson replied.“

You do that senator, and we will judge you accordingly.

How the fucking fuck did this empty suit defeat feingold? Twice?

he needs 3 dropped to win.
Truman’s in the lead

Isn’t he the guy who said “Not a war criminal. Not a war criminal. You’re the war criminal.”? Or is he the taffeta-loving transvestite that wasn’t Clyde Tolson who impersonated Vera Lynn fabulously and ran the FBI whenever he wasn’t busy blackmailing politicians? I think the deb’s name was Jeb or Jed. It’s so hard to keep track these days.

handyandy · January 14, 2019, 6:41am

Trump is Putin us on, but Senator Johnson isn’t Russian to judgement.

dickweed · January 14, 2019, 1:41pm

Goddamn the Republican party is full of treasonist folks that believe party over country at any and all costs. Seem like direct descendants of Confederates.I always get a laugh when racist Republicans try to talk about how the civil war was started by democrats!
