Why is THIS Watergate II?

[McCamy Taylor]

There have been lots of political scandals, many of which have involved the POTUS. But this is the first Watergate IIa sequel bigger, badder, more likely to increase the sales of popcorn and poster board (for signs) than the original.

Why? Because we have all the key ingredients.

1. A Dick for a President
2. An election full of dirty tricks
3. A criminal conspiracy that goes all the way to the top and spills over into another country
4. An enemies list
5. A DOJ official fired as part of a coverup

But, most important of all we have

6. The normally complacent and timid mainstream media out for blood.

It takes a lot of Dickery to get the press mad enough to attack those in power. Even Dick Cheney did not rise to the level of Dick Nixon--though he tried. Not paranoid enough.

Donald Trump should be renamed Dick Trump, because he has all Nixon's paranoia and nastiest--without any of his brains!

1. This is far worse than watergate.

2. Excactly. Sequels are always bigger.

3. It's "The Outrage".

4. Hilarious, especially the wonderful concept of Dickery!!

5. Also similar to the Commie witch hunts of the 1950s

Read up on Joe McCarthy and the Army-McCarthy hearings. The House UnAmerican Committee under McCarthy's leadership spent years accusing and investigating Americans of being Communists. Eveyone was terrified and blacklists proliferated.

6. Drumpf has gone about

pissing off all the folks that normal dictators embrace as allies - the press, the Intel community, even the military. His "enemies list" most likely changes hourly based on what he sees on tv. He has put all his eggs in the Putin basket (most likely by force of blackmail) and if his GOP colleagues in congress decide enough is enough and take their safety net away, he's toast.

7. Yes, finally, everyone's talking/writing about

what the hell is actually going on. I say better late than never. We need them.

8. We should go for blood. It's time to kill the Gorsuch nomination!

It should be so much easier to pick off three vulnerable GOP senators that would prevent the GOP from nuking the filibuster for the Supreme Court, ensuring they put up someone like Garland. Now that they are starting to get disorganized, it's time to take them out.
