It is now three days since Helsinki, and the President is totally off the wall in his view of the Russian involvement in the 2016 campaign, constantly changing his language, demonstrating total confusion and mental instability.
And we see his top advisers standing by smiling or having a poker face, and contradicting everything he says when not in his presence.
This includes his intelligence advisers, and his national security team.
Meanwhile, except for the few Republicans who are leaving Congress (Senator Bob Corker, Senator Jeff Flake, Congressman Mark Sanford), or Senator John McCain, who is in his last term even if he survives long term from his cancer battle, no one else is speaking out. There is the additional exception of John Kasich, who is leaving the Ohio Governorship, and also of Ben Sasse of Nebraska (who will face reelection in 2020 but has always spoken out), and Senate candidate Mitt Romney who is keeping his independence, knowing he will win the Utah Senate seat easily in November.
Everyone else is putting their career ahead of the country, absolutely despicable behavior.
As stated yesterday, US Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman needs to resign in protest, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White Chief of Staff John Kelly, National Security Adviser John Bolton, and others in the cabinet, including Defense Secretary James Mattis, all need to group together and go to the White House and demand Trump resign, or they will announce their joint resignation.
One might say this would create total chaos, but it would be a public statement by the entire group, showing patriotism over political loyalty, and Vice President Mike Pence might be forced to join with them to insist, that for the good of the country, it is time for Trump to go!
We need a Barry Goldwater and Hugh Scott, as with Richard Nixon and Watergate in 1974, and the people named above have the ability to restore their integrity and reputation by doing the right thing, and soon!
OMG! It just gets worse! Trump is inviting Putin to DC in the Fall! Somebody, please, stop this madness, quickly!

Congress and the Cabinet need to grow a pair and say “No!”, along with, “You’re fired!”
Unfortunately, Former Republican, our Constitution and historical experience does not know how to react to this menace! We cannot just “fire” Trump!
Why can’t Trump do us all a favor and have a massive stroke or heart attack?
Southern Liberal, that thought has crossed my mind more than once in the past 18 months!
In a new CBS poll, Republican voters are still mostly with Trump after his first meeting with Putin. Just 21% said they disapproved of his performance at the summit, compared to 83% of Democrats and 53% of independents.
