What’s to be done? That’s the overriding question.

I can do without the members being “concerned,” “deeply troubled,” etc.

Dude, ‘troubled’ is a word Republicans use when they aren’t going to do anything but want the voters to think they give a shit. Don’t use that one.

My first thought when I saw that
WTF
We need a little Anthony Weiner or Allan Grayson rhetoric
Donald Trump is in unreported meetings with A Russian Leader with no other US state department people or even one other American!
What is going on? No transcripts? Back Room Deals ?
He is totally irresponsible

Trump: That meeting was with Putin as a private person. No one needs to know, not even my lawyers. I am ok with KGB knowing it all.

Schiff brings a consistency of approach and purpose that has been very important for the Democratic Party on #trumprussia. Too many Dems are too timid. This meeting wasn’t illegal nor was it totally private, but it was certainly highly questionable. Most Dems would not raise a peep about such a meeting, despite the elephant in the room example. Schiff is bringing Dems along to question and challenge everything Trump does. That’s the right approach.

The fact that most Dems wouldn’t raise a peep about this is a serious problem.What the hell does someone like Chris Murphy or Al Franken have to lose by openly criticizing this meeting and saying that this poses a serious national security threat with no American translator there. Not one GOP member seems to be even “deeply troubled” naturally.

Oh, and then there’s the money launderer that was the last person identified in the Junior meeting. Can’t we get some Bernie Sanders-level righteous anger up about this? I don’t watch cable so maybe there is but …

Please, please, please no. Let’s not and say we did.

If what they discussed was beneficial to U.S. tRump would have gloated about it by now.

I’m guessing Pootie was just marveling at tRump’s cognitive decline and lining up his ducks accordingly.

Nothing is going to happen to Trump and Pence and their Russian collusion…nothing. Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell will claim to know nothing, see nothing, and do nothing.

The US is NOT a Democracy anymore…it is an Oligarchy. There is only one way to take back our nation from Oligarchs…Trump and the Billionaires aren’t about to let mere votes and elections to remove them from power and control.

Yes, I am tired of talk. I want some action. And the good ole go-to “deeply troubling” is starting to sound downright trite.

Under nornal circumstances, Congress and/or our intelligence services would begin an investigation. These are not normal circumstances and the GOP will continue to cover up for Trump’s crimes as long as they are able.

What say you Reagan Republicans?
What say you John Birch Society?

Step 1: Everyone needs to start calling it the secret meeting.
