Now we know why Putin gave Tillotson a Hero medal, why Trump picked him as Secretary of State, why Trump is so keen on removing Obama’s sanctions on Russian oligarchs, and why Russian lawyers and businessmen had a secret meeting with Don Jr. We also know why the Trump campaign removed anti-Russian planks from the GOP platform, and why President Trump is trying so hard to kiss Putin’s ass and deflect inquiries in the election hacking probe, and give him a free pass on Ukraine (look up Manafort). And now we know why Putin preferred Trump to Clinton; she was going to continue and expand Obama’s sanction policy.

This is the same party that has been sanctimoniously shoving God, the Flag and patriotism down our throats for over half a century now; the Party of free markets, enterprise and the American Way! This is the party that doesn’t care about the national health or the global climate or electoral integrity. It has other priorities. Whoopee fucking doo!

I guess it isn’t really treason, folks. It’s just business. And I suppose that makes it perfectly OK. There’s a reason we call them Deplorables.

Now, for extra credit: what percentage of Exxon’s daily profits is that $2 million fine?
