Way to go Mr. Brennon… Most everyone outside of the Trump faithful (40 % of republicans… and the entire republican leadership) agrees with you.
Donnie, Donnie, Donnie. These aren’t sub-contractors and Homeowners’ Associations you and your sleazy real estate lawyers are dealing with.
Whelp. When the prezident can fire law enforcement what becomes of the rule of law.
Run for office- and run FOR something! Don’t just run against Trump. You’ll either be preaching to the choir or confirming, in some people’s minds, that ‘the elites’ are out to get their man.
Get REAL specific, too. You want to run on jobs or healthcare reform or the new landfill? You must have a plan. Show what’s needed and show how to make it work. THEN point out the differences between having a plan and vague promises to work on a plan “very soon”.
This site, https://www.runforoffice.org/, allows you to enter your ZIP code and see what offices are available to you and the filing window for that office. They also have a few video short-courses on running a campaign. In my state you file for office during a 1-week period in May, just three months from now.
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes it’s a Ward officer. Meet your neighbors and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump, and half of all voters stayed home last November. HALF! Today’s 10-year olds will be voting for President in 8 years. Make sure they’re prepared.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly. And get on your Planning Commission.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020 when we’ll redraw Congressional Districts. Make them fair and open. Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census- talk about ‘voter fraud’!
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led voter-run-around campaign help them do that. This site, https://www.aauw.org/resource/organize-a-voter-registration-drive/, has a how-to on organizing a voter registration drive. Or even sitting outside Wal Mart with a folding chair and a card table. Yes, that’s the American Association of University Women. And while we’re here organize a League of Women Voters chapter in your community if you don’t already have one. Fair, honest and above board. Democracy functions better with them involved.
Civics, civility and civilization all share the same roots. Get crackin’!
“When the full extent of your venality, moral turpitude, and political corruption becomes known, you will take your rightful place as a disgraced demagogue in the dustbin of history.”
Trump, too, shall pass.
Like a cheap truck-stop meal.
Down the brown-stained kleptocrat commode of oblivion.
To repeat myself from another thread, there’s a common theme in any statement about Trump from anyone close to the intelligence community: When you know what we know, Trump will be finished.
A small step away from authoritarianism. Facebook suspends Cambridge Analytica
Happy St Pat’s Mr Brennan.
I think the former CIA Director knows something.
Director Brennan’s comments hint at what we all know. The intelligence and law enforcements arms of our government already have more than enough info. to sink Trump, many times over. Trump knows this, too, and that is why he is taking every step to try to discredit them. But in the end, it won’t work, and I think on some level, Trump knows this as well.
Brennan is the early warning (ocean receding) of the coming tidal wave of criticism and disgust about McCabe’s firing.
It’s going to be about so much more than this firing. The total aggregate of a billion buckets creates the wave.
Utterly and always obsessed with revenge.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the decision to fire McCabe, saying he was not entirely truthful
If being not entirely truthful is the criteria for being fired then it’s should also be used to remove the stench from the White House.
Which is hysterically ludicrous since Sessions lied multiple times to Congress.
There’s the title of my next book of poems sorted!
“Full Extent of Your Venality” would have been a great album title for the Sex Pistols to use. It’s going down. It feels like this thing is getting ready to hit critical mass.
the Orange Monster has his Friday Night Massacre. What will he do next?
We have a constitutional crisis now, with OM’s personal lawyer calling for an end to the investigation of his client’s crimes.
We can start with Sessions, actually.
I wonder what the congressional republicans are thinking this morning.
Me too. That’s my biggest question right now.
Nothing, I suspect.
