One thing to remember...

as this drags out and some kind of revelation about Trump emerges, we should always be vigilant for typical Repub talking points, the ones that they seem to fall back on and dredge up as last resorts.

I suspect we'll start hearing the old, "Well, it didn't really affect the outcome, so..." line again soon.

Never forget that the election swung on less than 100,000 votes in three swing states. Remember, we are in the majority, even in many of the states that swung for Trump in '16.

We outnumber them, and we're right. The only way we lose is if we give up.

The Major Cheerleader for of the print Media and all things GOP,David Brooks. Now claims his Republican Stooges are nervous about Team Mueller's filings.

BTW,notice all the Rethug kiss asses showing up on the Cable News Shows today. So lets muddy the water a bit.

the thing is, many people don't understand that they don't need to swing/fuck with millions of votes to accomplish their goals. Especially in the Presidential, a few thousand votes in key states screwed us in '00, '04, and '16. IIRC no first term election has installed a Repub with a majority of the popular vote in this century.
