Ron Johnson is exactly what's wrong with the GOP

Deathcult over party over country, and someone who gained everything he has via lucky family connections now rails about Bernie and AOC. Just another coward of the new age GOP, indeed. These people deserve a 21st century Nuremberg.
Also involved with the Ukraine shenanigans, shocking. These people are literal filth.

@fintail and the cherry on top is he is one of the GOP politicians who spent the fourth of July in Russia

@mastermario Nothing sketchy going on, for sure. Completely legitimate business or diplomatic missions undertaken by hardworking bootstrapping heroes.
I wonder how many of these people are attached/indebted to Russian interests. Manafort, Flynn, Cohen, Ivanka palling around with Putin's widely-rumored GF, Rudy, and 45 himself - it never ends.

@fintail They knew the optics were not going to be good, but still went. Russia also knew that and probably insisted to test them. In my opinion there are really only 2 possible reasons they went
-
Russia has dirt on each of them and threatened to release it
-
Russia claimed to have dirt on a political opponent and they willingly took the bait
I guess there is an option 3...that they are just morons...but even the ones that appear to be morons most likely are putting on a show for their base.

@mastermario I'd say definitely 1 or 2, and maybe some financial debts owed to Russian nationals as well.
To paraphrase an old saying - never attribute to malice what is likely just stupidity. I think with these sad excuses for men, there's malice and stupidity.
I also suspect there's dirt on pieces of crap like Lindsey Graham and McConnell, maybe even Mnuchin.
