Evidence Of Trump Campaign Collusion Is Massive And Growing

The incidents of direct collusion between the Russians and not only the Trump campaign but down-ballot Republicans in the 2016 continue to grow. Today’s revelation is that intercepts of Russian hackers indicate they were attempting to hack Hillary Clinton’s emails and then pass that information on to Trump adviser Mike Flynn

And so it goes.....

Agreed.  Buckley is sorely missed, for my money, and Will too scared -- or irrelevant -- to actually pipe up against the shitstains running the party now.

Will may not be much but he is all they have with a brain.

Scarborough is not half-bad. And I'm hoping they give the Shitgibbon Hell for running his trap.

There are so many self-described American conservatives (most of them, I would guess) who haven't the slightest inkling that conservatism -- whatever one thinks of it -- has a long and not entirely ignoble intellectual pedigree. Buckley, though I sort of miss him as the last of a breed, was a lightweight in comparison with much of what came before him. Today they listen to buffoons like Limbaugh and Hannity and think Ayn Rand is profound literature. Once upon a time, they read the works of the people Russell Kirk wrote about in The Conservative Mind.

The biggest problem with "murrican conservatism is that it has been cross-bred with racism and leavened with the magical thinking that goes hand in hand with religion.
