Thereās nothing to investigate according to Trump and anyone who disagrees will be fired.
He fires the witnesses to his crimes and then uses the fact of their firing, always in the passive voice, to discredit them. Itās a crude tactic; whether itās also going to be effective we havenāt seen yet. Trump seems to think 99 percent about persuading his idiot minions. Persuading professional investigators or the legal system in general, not so much.
Whatās sad is I doubt DJT felt the āhe believed Putinā dagger thrust as deeply as he should have. That was devastating.
Itās important that he is impeached. Removal will not happenāTrumpublicans wonāt cross their Crazy Base. But itās important for the historical record that a Dem-majority House spell out Putin Puppetās offenses in articles of impeachment. If that doesnāt happen, the Weimar Republic comparisons write themselves. With the Wall Emergency declaration we are in fact under marshall law. Say it, Dems! Itās actually a winning election issue, too: āDemocrats are for democracy!ā
And Dotardās deplorable approval rating remains rock solid.
Ignorance is blissā¦
It is enough to convince his base, that happens to be the GOP base. That is enough to keep the GOP behind him. This keeps him in office untill 2020.
That he talks to Putin is not surprising to me. My question is how often do these chats occur?
The evidence of tRumpās treasonous behavior has long been in plain sight for the entire world to see. Mueller can provide us with mountains of non-public documentation to support the obvious treachery of the āpresidentā but he wonāt be telling us something we donāt already know.
The real problem we have is that the fascistgop has gone all in with their support of a buffoonish thug heading our government. And between having the support of a deplorable 30% and the ability to game the system (flat out cheat the system in many cases) they have a chance to rip democracy from our hands.
The fight to regain a representative system of governance dedicated to advancing the common good will be going on for years. Whoever first said āthe price of liberty is eternal vigilanceā wasnāt exaggerating.
Whatever else Nixon was, he was a Patriot first.
When will the Republicans wake up and realize the damage theyāre doing to the country by allowing this guy to stay in office?
Disagree. Trumpās base is angry and happy to bite whoever on command of Fox, Coulter, Limbaugh and friends. Trump has harvested their fans but he does not pull their strings.
Some of this nonsense he gets himself into is out of fear of retribution from his base.
If Fox News simply covered negative Trump stories (for example they never ran a story about the recent inauguration committee drama) and used non-misleading headlines on the ones they do cover, I reckon that would be enough to scuttle Trump. Senators fall in line because Republicans are in line. If Fox News changes their mind about what Republicans should believe, it will change. Trump cannot defeat Fox News.
If Trump is proven to have committed serious crimes, Fox News canāt do much to spin that. Republicans similarly supported Nixon right up until the moment they didnāt, at which point he was toast and resigned in disgrace.
I hate to admit it but thatās looking likelier all the time. But weāve had periodic major shocks that really shook him, and he seems driven to demonstrate his malevolent incompetence pretty much continually. So I think thereās a chance it all comes crashing down, because I think there are many more revelations to come in a situation thatās more volatile than it might appear.
āā¦ fascistgop has gone all in with their support of a buffoonish thug heading our government. ā¦ā
Weāre seeing more essays to the effect that the āconservativeā right is effectively a cult: They ignore scientific info and documented journalistic and historical info. Twist facts to support their beliefs.
Very, very hard to fight cultish thinking.
The ā100 contacts with Russiansā should be reported as ā100 independently proven contacts with Russiansā plus anyoneās guess how many other contacts. Mueller knows more about this than we do, but I think the number will be staggering.
If the situation with tRump isnāt obvious to the Rethugs by now, I feel like they all must be drunk or on drugs. Every once in awhile, I wonder if they may be plotting, in secret, to agree as to how they can get rid of him, but theyāre all cowards.
One thing to hope for is a strong candidate will run against McConnell and win and that Dems will regain the Senate.
If we have to watch and wait till 2020 for something to happen with tRump, lots of us will be seeing mental health professionals.
You may as well remove the āI thinkā from thatā¦ I think weāre well beyond guessing at this point. Itās so blatantly obvious and in-your-face for the entire timeā¦
Exactly. Weāve seen time & time again how well Fox News Conspiracy Theories play out in court.
Thereās a lot more to come:
- Continued shenanigans (and worse) from the GOP
- Indictments and court cases and any reports from the Special Counsel
- Congressional investigations
These are eye opening for those not following closely. For those that do, it is just more confirmation. What is most concerning is that the GOP is fully complicit. They are just dandy with Trump, Trumpism and the Russian influence.
For proof of the indefeasible ability cultists have, witness that 600 people paid money to attend the Flat Earth Society International Conference in 2018 and tickets sales are strong for the 2019 conference.
