try to influence our elections in 2020 is going to work what-so-ever. The sentiment is getting to be so overwhelming anti-rump and the 2018 elections were already a sign of this anti-rump sentiment. Repugs are going to suffer along w/ rump too, and thus, the senate will go against the repubs and also rump will be thrown out of office. This is of course based upon the sentiment I see just about everywhere and I'm in MO of all places.

They don't see a billionaire businessman any longer, they see a small man who obviously has a very thin skin...and who takes offense at any possible slight.

Thus, our memories will be long and those who attempted to distort our elections in some manner by their illegal campaign funds (in some manner) to lean towards rump will be remembered as trying to buy our election (the Saudi, the Russians, and others) will suffer the consequences (as they should). Congress has even already in today's environment urged the president to honor already passed sanctions on the Russians, rump has continue to ignore them/the will of Congress.

and sent to jail, the main characters (rump, sons, etc.) haven't been charged for crimes as they should, being that these guys scream if someone spends one dollar without them in the room. Mueller perhaps will do a grand finale, I hope, and soon.

It will be a take-no-prisoners election fight.

They’d all much rather turn their heads while waving the American flag, as long as they can win. This mess isn’t over. It’s only just begun.

All the more reason for Democrats to fight like our country depends on it. Debating endlessly whether to impeach Trump is a waste of time. If we don’t take action, regardless of the fallout, the party will become a sad footnote of history. You know damn well, Republicans have rewritten the playbook, and we need to be in the game big time.

I’ve commented in the past about the ugly consequences of ridding this man, yet he has, on his own, promoted the violent aspect of his removal. It’s time to take the gloves off, because one way or another, it’s going to get ugly. If we don’t, we might as well welcome Putin and our new fascist state - the makings of which have been out on display for years - the largest transfer of wealth to the 1% the nation has ever seen, the demise worker protections, the housing crises of the past, the demise of governmental institutions, the burning desire for them to get their hands on all of that Social Security money, the pharmaceutical raping of the stupid average citizen, corporate welfare at the expense of a living wage, government control of a woman’s own body, “right to screw laws”, voting suppression........need I say more? We all get it.

It’s now or never. Speak now or forever hold your peace. “The British are coming, the British are coming.”

Public opinion must be shaped NOW.

Moderate Republicans must be pushed to action through release of the truth.

We don't need ever T crossed, every I dotted in order to begin mass fact-based repudiation of this criminal enterprise and autocrat.
