Bill, you note: "Note that we can't talk about Trump any longer without including the shadow leader of the Republican Party. Vlad the Bad."

You are correct. I get the feeling that this country has become one humongous insane asylum. There are 60 million or so crazies running about this country.

Insane or compromised. Too many very hawkish Republicans are now in full support of Putin. Look at Lindsey Graham - former defense hawk, former "never Trumper". Something smells funny. The FBI informant revealed to be a Russian plant should inspire us to dig. We should be terrified and motivated.

Russians play a long game of infiltration and kompromat. The GOP may now be in the "Grip Of Putin" via various files and sundry embarrassments. Russia didn't abandon its techniques of intelligence gathering and blackmail when they gave up "Communism". After all, look at where Putin was hatched. GOP may now be an extension of the FSB (formerly FSK and KGB).
