It's like The Wizard of Oz, where suddenly everything appears in Technicolor. Yes, folks, our media has suddenly embraced the possibility that Trump is a Russian asset. Hey, thanks for finally doing your jobs!
I was wondering if even the WSJ editorial board would fold on Trump, and yes, it's that bad. Finally. Of course, the damage done to our nation by a chattering class that refused to acknowledge the obvious will take decades to unwind:
WSJ ed board: "Monday’s joint press conference was a personal&national embarrassment.On stage w/the dictator whose election meddling has done so much harm to his Presidency,Trump couldn’t even bring himself to say he believed his own intelligence advisers" https://t.co/iWz60KByub

The problem isn’t that Trump wants to talk to America’s adversaries. We want leaders who would rather talk than shoot. But what Trump says is treasonous. It’s consistently isolationist & racist. It’s not that he’s talking, but what he’s saying.

Is it still too early to #IMPEACHTRUMPNOW? @RepDanKildee used to think yes, but after yesterday, he says: "Donald Trump is a danger to the United States." And he thinks it's time we revisit the question. pic.twitter.com/VzMbGgFyU1

"For everything we have have been through as a country ... we haven't ever had to reckon with the possibility that somebody has ascended to the presidency of the United States to serve the interest of another country rather than our own."
