How does this end?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Most leaders, from both political parties, at least paid lip service to binding the nation's wounds. Trump pours salt in them. I don't see how this division can end any way other than poorly.

We lasted this long because a scab formed over our differences. Trump and his acolytes have pulled the scab off.

The Founding Fathers were wise men, but far from perfect. Their hypocrisy on slavery attests to that. However they would be appalled that a man of such low character and intellects sits in the White House.

1. At the right moment he'll have to be told.

"The jig is up."

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Who is going to tell him that ?

Checks and balances and separation of powers are supposed to be a check on the executive. What happens when one party has all the power?

I know... We are supposed to have faith in our independent judiciary. What if it doesn't remain independent? What if Trump ignores it?

4. I don't know, but it looks like

the forces are aligning themselves. It needs more cooking.

It's not going to be three guys with faux-assault rifles in Atlanta that keep Trump in power.

8. it's interesting to me because the intel guys are all about getting him out

and it must be a strange feeling for the GOP to know that they are on the wrong side of the intelligence agencies right now. wow. Like Bill Maher said last night, party over country...they are in control and are they going to let the US slide into a dictatorship because it suits them, or are they going to try to save the US's skeletal framework...we are having to lean on the morals of some of the most immoral people on earth, no one knows really what is going to transpire.

12. We heard those same forces were aligning all throughout the election. I have serious concerns

that they will do anything. For example we are supposed to be all relieved that the FBI is conducting three separate investigations.

The FBI.

Really?

The forces don't know how to get this virus back into the test tube. It's going to be up to us. Demonstrations and instilling terror into the hearts of our representatives, or electing new ones to replace those who are riding his coattails. Which will require a lot more effort and stamina from every one of us than I think we realize right now.

6. It will be the same as what happened to Nixon.

His most trusted advisors, including the kids, will sit him down and give him the news. Nixon was a much more intelligent person, so maybe Rump will keep fighting until the impeachment end. Stay tuned!

7. The CIA, FBI and patriots within the gov't are going to expose the TRUTH. It's already

underway!

10. How did we get to the point that we have to rely on the Deep State to save us?

5. Not by McConnell or Ryan. And his cronies in the Cabinet won't dare.

3. He can hurl racial epithets and incite violence at the next press conference

and nothing will happen to him.

9. Not with a bang but a twitter.

11. It ends when he starts dragging down GOP congressmen and women.

Right now, opposing him is riskier than not, as losing your seat in a primary is their biggest fear. Until that changes, nothing else will change.
