Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Putin must know that quite a few Republicans (whether they have the spine to say it or not) are

Quite a few? Doubtful. Maybe 2? 3? If we're talking behind closed doors: maybe a handful more, but it doesn't really matter since they're all terrified of him, and would just resign instead of stand up to him about literally anything.

For Christ sake, Marco Rubio is looking like Trump just subtly showed him a photo of his secret love child that was under the cheesesteak he was eating from the restaurant in the photo, and made heavy implications.

But that's probably giving him too much credit to be honest.
