Un less we can get control of at least the House or the Senate in Congress nothing is going to change. We know that the GOP is as guilty as Trump with Russiagate. We know the GOP leadership and institutions are Siamese twins with the Russians.
Our nation is just that compromised. And we know that the GOP is married to the radical religious right as well. When you see a long term agenda to make abortion and even contraception either hard to get or even a crime the writing is on the wall. Even theocracy is ok with them as long as they are the only party.
Our hope is that Mueller comes up with something so undeniable that it cannot be ignored. The fact that the GOP is ignoring all the lawlessness already gives one pause.

(56,828 posts)because then you can stop judicial appointments, or slow them down to a trickle.
That said, the Senate is almost impossible. The House will be tough, but it's a lot more realistic.

(6,709 posts)I want to tie tRump around their party's neck like an anchor and toss it/them off the pier. Metaphorically of course. Vote them all out and then investigate, indict, and prosecute the sons of bitches (apologies to my dogs).
(fyi this is also why I have a problem with the likes of Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace--by going after tRump they are trying to rehabilitate / resuscitate a party that is too far gone to save)

If the tRump keeps this up he will loose a lot of support and if he REALLY pisses in their cornflakes they will get rid of him. My thoughts YMMV.

(611 posts)Trump proposes tariffs, which plays well in Dotardistan. Congress (and Trump himself) makes many exceptions and basically guts the tariffs, so Trump benefits politically from the tariffs but there is really not much effect from them. Total BS which voters will buy once again.
