No, they are not. This is lip service and yet more credulous reporting. Actions speak louder than words and they have, at every fucking turn, tried to protect Trump, and by extension Putin, from the investigations while undermining and denigrating the institutions we rely upon to conduct those investigations, to protect our democracy and our families. They’ve now refused to fund election security grants because they hope more interference will bring them closer to their goal of permanent white Christian hegemony in this country. The zombie Fourth Estate needs to stop giving them a free pass just because their lips are moving or it too is complicit in our downfall.

What is so obvious is endlessly, repeatedly ignored to the point that there is no true North anymore.
A nice way of putting it, yes. It is just really messing with my basic sense of reality. Well, that and all the drugs and alcohol I need to cope…

We are in a lot of chaos now
“Trump’s bungled retraction is “probably the best we’re going to be able to get, right?” Sen. John Thune (R-SD) told Politico.”
Sen. Thune has some nerve, as he too spent Independence Day basking in the totalitarian sunshine of Putin’s Russia, glad-handing the oligarchs, and lending credibility to the autocrats! He missed 4-H club parades, barbecues, and public renditions of our national anthem back home to cozy up to Russian dictators, and HE is going to criticize Trump? Damn, talk about a Quisling!
Remember when Thune was a bright shining GOP star awaiting his “Reaganizing” treatment to leap out of the cornfield onto the national stage? Whatever happened to all that? I imagine a closet full of skeletons added to a low-functioning brain can still kill even a Republican political career!

Yeah, but if nobody hears it…
“Poll: Huge GOP majority backs Trump’s Putin performance
We told you yesterday why elected Republicans go so silent so quickly when they disagree so strongly with President Trump: They fear it’s political suicide to speak up. Now we have an exclusive, new Axios/SurveyMonkey poll that shows why those fears are real.”
I love TPM, but you seriously need an editor. Or if you have one, you need a better one.
And if you promise to spend my Prime membership fee on that, I will join.
They don’t care that Trump will sell the country out, they are concerned that he’s so clumsy about hiding it.
The cowards are even worse than the idiot cultists like Nunes, as they know what Trump is, but other than expressing muted concern now and then, they do nothing. The idiot caucus has an excuse, they are too stupid to see what’s in front of them, the rest are spineless Quislings.

If anyone looks weak and feckless, it’s you GOP. Less talk, more action, K?
I have read that at the height of Watergate, Republican Americans similarly doubled down and circled the wagons in defense of Nixon. I think the only reason Nixon was brought down by Watergate was because Democrats controlled the House and Senate, and there was no Fox News and extensive right wing talk radio empire then.
Putin’s not waiting. He’s plowing ahead with his agenda of world domination as Donnie blunders through walk-backs and gibberish, completely unaware of how he’s ruining us.
Go ahead, Republicans. Wait for Donnie to miraculously change his personality and suddenly absorb the knowledge of American law and history, and to throw off his temper tantrum toddler traits to become an adult man who wants to protect his country. You’ll be waiting forever.

The Senate’s doing its best to catch up, traveling to Moscow to grovel before the king. On the 4th of July, yet. McConnell has never had America’s interests at heart, and they made him leader.
Are you sure about that? Lack of action indicates to me that GOP is still tightly bound to #TeamTreason. Not surprising given mix of complicity and kompromat.
