I can not believe what I'm hearing. The GOP is corrupt. Elaine and Mitch need to go.
We spend 60 billion a year in the black budgets. Then the trusted(?) representatives don't believe them. Any hearings?

As a member of the loyal opposition, it seems the elected GOP Senators and Representatives that do not review the CIA allegations have their heads (multiple choice answer) in the: 1) sand or 2)up their .....

Their fear of critically reviewing what the CIA has presented, means (to me) they are afraid of what may result from the knowledge of what the CIA has to say. Unless I hear otherwise, it means they could not handle the loss of power. What corrupts, power? Power corrupts absolutely.

As I write this note, I've been listening to Rachel. What she has to say is inflammatory.

But, you listen to the OLD CROWS.

With tRump and the GOP, we are in for a roller coaster or a period of instability, which will probably result in a recession/depression. Peoples IRA and other plans will plummet.
