5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

  Jesus... If ever there was a prototypical answer for writing up how much Republicans do hate the United States and would betray its values, this post takes the cake.

  We've got flag-worshiping idolatry, military-might-makes-America-right, got-mine-fuck-youism, xenophobia as good as any Nazi, and delusions of speech suppression on private platforms while completely ignoring that the President is more than guilty of calls for banning the speeches he doesn't like.

  Thanks for proving the point.

  Obviously, I wouldn't pervert the terminology as you did, but those are American values.

  It seems you have Scandinavian values, South American values, Commonwealth values, or something vaguely similar. You should move. You'll be happier, except to the extent that you benefit from the American values that you so despise. All of us normal Americans will be happier too, but you can pretend that we miss you and will be much worse off without you.

  Seriously, you don't like us, and we don't like you. Pack your things. There are numerous lands that support your political views, but only this one land for us Americans.

    Gosh, somebody needs a hug. Or a cookie. Run along and play, dear, that's a nice little troll.
