She seems so certain Trump is going to get his due, as in I-M-P-E-A-C-H-M-E-N-T.
Every time I see her on tv she says the republicans will turn against him because they're patriots.

(58,436 posts)Their actions over the last few years indicates otherwise to me. Far too many of them are selfish assholes who put their own personal well being over the good of the country.

If this does turn out to be anything, I hope the net is cast widely enough to catch Pence, Ryan, The Turtle, President Bannon and a few others. I hope it catches trump's icky family as well.

(574 posts)Could have been indigestion. Whatever it was, nothing has come of it. Great theater, though. Kind of like when democrats did a sit-in for gun control. It was their way of saying it was the best they could do.
