REALIZE that the intensity of the last couple of weeks will be OFF THE CHARTS in January

I'm looking at just TODAY'S headlines and thinking "What the HELL will things be like when the Dems take control of the House?"

He has earned every second of this.

New York's new AG will take the office, and she's vowed to investigate everything about him, his family, and his foundation. I can't wait.

Of course, I won't be able to get anything done but hang out on DU.

to Dems taking advantage of their positions to obstruct government. Right now it's all how Dems should be scared of progressives and other subversives setting policy for their party.

That being said I've lost count of all the investigations of this administration...by Republicans. It will get ugly when Dems take over the House.

the narrative has largely been his, the Senate or the House.

Mueller hasn't said a word. Aside from a few court docs before, Mueller had been silent leading up to the election. Now, he's starting to get a word in with these filings and the conversation has changed substantially.

How long that lasts, I'm not sure with AG Barr on the horizon.

But the Dems controlling the House will control a lot of the dialogue. The hearings are going to be open and the people are finally going to get some real first hand knowledge of the other side of this concern with Trump Russia and what is going on.

They can also can have hearings on the other key issues to expose what has gone on with this administration and the Republicans - to set the Dems up for 2020.

Mar-a- lago vacation. He is going to need the rest, but since he doesn't do anything except tweet and watch TV I don't know how different a vacation and "work" is to the fucking moron.
