I am just hoping Lin-Manuel Miranda gets to write the play that tells the story of how we get this train back on track

Something like (paraphrase) “Every day this week, a story has broken about tRump that individually would be the biggest story in another President’s entire year or even entire term”. Yet for this turd, we are almost numbed by the fact that a huge story breaks almost every single day!!!

I can't keep track. This one with Jared advising the killer crown prince how to cover up a murder was the last straw.

in our Constitution. Trump can be impeached. He can even be put in prison. But until the next election the Republicans remain in control of the Executive Branch of government unless, through a perfectly synchronized ouster, Pence and Trump are gone at the same time and Pelosi is installed. Bottom line: the election was stolen from Hillary, from the Democrats and from the American people and there is no way to fix it.

There was a 15 minute gap in a tape of conversations in the Nixon White House..

Most people say, Nixon erased the tape himself. Nixon went loony. I remember Nixon's famous..." I am not a crook speech." Got a copy of a newspaper saying it 44 years ago..But he was a crook, and while it is totally different in terms of scope and outside interference..but it feels the same. One damn thing after another...It never stopped. And in the end, it all pointed back to ...."TRICKY DICK NIXON"
.........And in the end it will all point back to ................"TRICKY DONALD TRUMP"

Never ending story of crooks, and more crooks totally in the American Way...It never stopped during Watergate, and it seems to never stop today. Rachael is wrong, This is like Watergate..(in my opinion)
