After the skunk GOP senators acquit the world's greatest criminal, and we know

they will, how soon does revenge start? He wil feel so emboldened the entire country will be in more danger than it is now. Medicare, medicaid, student loans, toilets, national parks, and so much more will have to succumb to the sharpie. Resisting is mandatory. The pundits are already making excuses for the putrid display that the GOP will present on Saturday.

unprepared for the democratic presentation. It is as though they had been told "The gop is all ready to dismiss the charges. Nothing to see here" and acted accordingly, no preparation. No wonder they fit so well in this administration of MISFITS and unqualified representatives. Did anyone expect more? What we learned during this entire charade is that the republicans represent themselves, to HELL with the country, their constituents and the rule of law. Surely John Roberts saw what we saw? Black and white evidence of wrongdoing from the republican president, being covered up or ignored by the senate. Disgraceful display, playing with toys, reading, drawing. BORED? Wait until they have to fight for their jobs in November, this will come back to haunt them, as well it should.

Trump will feel entitled to such excesses that many Republicans up for re-election will be terrified to go along. If they are damned if they do and damned if they don‘t, then we pick up their seat.

He will make life a living hell for our Democratic representatives. There will be mass firings of Federal government employees who are on his "not 100% loyal" list. Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz will be harassed further over the vote he recently cast. A militia will attack a peaceful protest and the Justice Department will not charge anyone because they will claim the victims started it. There will be an attempt to cancel our elections. If that fails, the vote totals will be hacked so Republicans gain more power, If that fails, Trump will declare there were irregularities and nullify the outcome. Justices who ruled against him will be threatened and/or removed from office. There will be mass resignations from our military leaders who cannot stomach executing orders to harm U.S. citizens. Foreign governments will have free reign to kidnap or assassinate their critics right here on U.S. soil. ICE will round up Dreamers and either deport them or incarcerate them in a pop up warehouse concentration camp. Freedom of the press will be at peril when we see our favorite journalists fired or arrested. The internet will be interfered with and even our beloved DU will eventually be seized and we will be added to Trump's long enemies list. He will also turn on his friends for the most insignificantly perceived slights because why the hell not?

And since the majority of citizens want him removed from office, we can be certain he will try to hurt as many of us as possible through policies that benefit only him at the expense of us.

Fun times ahead.

we should just all shut everything down and hamper them from doing anything... it's what they are doing to us.

Maybe a few select locations like the airports where all the private jets come and go, refuse to make deliveries to them, of any kind. We can fight back and we had better. We can make life hell for them if we choose.
