WOW!!!

 dreaded this one on one between our iitoo and Put but it was so much worse than expected.  who knows what was discussed inside that room...we may never know, but the press conference was proof that this POTUS trusts Put much more than the US intelligence. 

 before i watched any other news or read anything i went to Faux news just to see what their take was..basically it was "nothing to see here".  which is insane.  it seems that the only way his cult of Don members would have seen anything odd about this news conference would be if Put himself had dropped his pants during the news conference and the iitoo had knelt before him and actually kissed his ass. 

 that seems to be where we are. 

 there are a few GOP members speaking out and the intelligence offices have released statements that they stand by their investigations.  that Rus did all they could to meddle in our election.  yet, iitoo gives them a pass and then yet again goes back to the bloody emails and hrc and obama....back to the blame game

 he seems incapable of saying anything untoward against this nation and it's dictator. why?  if Put has nothing on him why does he stand there in a press conference and denigrate our intelligence and praise Put. 

 when will he ever stand up and defend our nation and protect us from further election meddling by this foe...yes, a foe, an actual foe.  he makes claims that our allies are actually our foes but refuses to use this same language against Put or NK for that matter.

 will head out for  a walk soon and hope that some common sense is shown by the GOP and some rebuke is coming from the right by days end.  so far it's mostly crickets though.

 these are Matanuska Glacier again. below you can see the folks on the glacier for some context of size.

 i am on the moraine. 

 Rus released a cyber attack on our nation in order to aid the election of this iitoo.  yes, there is no proof of collusion at this point but that does not in any way mean that Rus gets a pass on it's actions against our nation. 

 and yet...the GOP as a whole seems so fearful of this iitoo being proven a fraud that they are willing to give Rus a pass on their meddling among other infractions.

 the time has come to choose...does an agenda come before the nations best interest?

 our current POTUS is not defending our nation.  he is not defending our constitution.  he is working in his own best interest it seems.  he continues to kiss the arse of Put rather than take him to task for attacking our nation. 

 it is disgraceful, it is shameful and none of us should stand idly by and accept this in a POTUS, who is there to serve all the people and to protect and uphold the constitution. 

 how is siding with Rus putting America first???? 

 hoping the news has taken a better turn when i return from my walk.  the weather is wet and a bit dreary...fitting for the news of the day.

 i will go to the mountains and attempt to step away from this news, from the truth of what is happening in our nation today.  of what this POTUS and the GOP are doing to our nation and of what so many in our nation have chosen to look the other way about....our of hatred for Hillary.  she has been given more power than she ever deserved.  she has been given credit for much worse than she is capable of.  all in the name of manipulation....so simple and yet it's working so well. 

 those that hate will eventually become victims of that hatred.  sadly, the t...train has left the station and we are all attached to it.  it's gonna be a bumpy ride. 

 call, write, protest...speak up and let your voice be heard.  vote and hope we can endure this iitoo.

thankful for A.  actual news...they are valued and critical to our nations safe passage through this situation B.  reporters, many have died trying to bring the truth to the world over the years, many remain in prisons for reporting the truth C.  any sanity in this time of insanity
