(5,624 posts)back and did nothing? How many do you think will be marched away over this when the dirt settles? Weren't there like 40 people indicted or jailed in watergate? Anyone want to hazard a guess as to how many will be taken down over this?
I think this is way larger than watergate, so I'm saying 60.

(14,563 posts)sorry, watergate is a remembrance of a time when this was not an authoritarian, fascist state.
Best we can hope for is that this country wakes the fuck up enough to somehow reset the House or Representatives in the midterm (and that will be a true miracle) and somehow find a way to not reelect 45 in four years.

Fetish sex is a distraction.
Giving up America to the Russians is the money shot.

(14,563 posts)you would think, but the simpletons of this country saw fit to elect the dolt in the first place when there was AMPLE evidence Putin was dick slapping the jackass ...
I think the best we can hope for is some kind of greater awareness that can somehow keep the assholes in congress handcuffed until we get HOPEFULLY get to 2010 and get a do over.
I just can't see how they don't pull the same shit they pulled with W and ball around how the country just can't take the scandal ...

(56,828 posts)were a distraction from the main point, but it got a huge amount of coverage because of that and gave the main story a lot more airtime than it would have otherwise have received.
JustAnotherGen
(31,811 posts)They will use the lack of it to discredit the ones who leaked the info. I really hope it IS on there. I know - fetish on tape . . .salacious. It is the lower item of concern for me personally. But if it isn't on there - everything else will be spun by his mouth pieces as Lies/Fake News and everyone but Marrow, Reid, and Olbermann will focus on what isn't there.
I can't believe we are at this place. Can you?

Heck, I'd even be happy to hear the Apprentice tapes. Any of them will bring him down, but is everyone too afraid of tradition to share the shocking truth - we elected an out and out freaking crazy nightmare and menace to the entire world. he's have been in jail many times over for fraud and harassment and even rape if he didn't inherit so much $$$.
