Crazy how some people seem to have come right out of the fucking woodwork to tell us all that the Attorney General of the United States perjuring himself before the Senate and lying about talking to Russia is no big deal and nothing is going to happen.
Why, if I didn't know better, I would swear those folks have impure motives, but that would be improper. No, that just couldn't be.
But I will say this. If your only purpose is to discourage everyone, maybe you could all just get together and find a nice big bowl of Cheerios to shit in. That way you can all be miserable together.
That is all.

(41,831 posts)its A FACT THAT REPUBLICANS OWN CONGRESS AND THE SENATE. They are CORRUPT ENOUGH TO PROTECT THEIR OWN, AND HAVE DONE SO IN THE PAST...
if YOU don't realize that, I don't know what to tell you, but to SAY I AM NOT A LOYAL DEMOCRAT is stupid. I BEEN A DEMOCRAT ALL MY LIFE.

Do you really honesty think, he will resign, I guarantee you on all the news shows nothing will
be made of this, heres he to stay, the only way Trump couldve been stopped was if people
voted in record numbers for Hillary and told bernie and Stein, "sorry guys, you're not going to
Nader this election"

(6,594 posts)It's the biggest Trump vulnerability, he lost a campaign manager over this too. The naysayers who think nothing will happen either haven't paid attention or as you point out perhaps have other motives.

(28,337 posts)But Day-um if the chorus of "NOTHING TO SEE HERE" isn't freaky loud all of the sudden.
Beauregard will, sooner or later, lose this battle. And his boss . . . drip, drip, drip.

(2,768 posts)With this whole deal. If Trump and his cronies were anything but Repubs there would have been 20 investigations by now. Its a hard pill to swallow and its easy to see how people are down about it. However this is exactly why you stay lit and make sure the people around you stay the same way. Whatever happens we cannot accept that this insanity is normal to aquiece to its continued endurance. At some point the house of cards will collapse and once it does we are going to need to roll; intact not just roll, but steamroll.
The Repubs have invalidated themselves as a party and we need to act like it rather than bicker with each other. A full quarter of the country is insane and were gonna have to drag their asses along kicking and screaming. Again the first step to this is insane o not let them burn out our capacity for hope. This is what they want, disenfranchised apathetic hopelessness. So far its worked but we can't allow it to go any further. The line in the sand has to be drawn here, this far no further. Everyday , its going to be hard since our best avenue to exercise this directly is more than a year off and in two months we've seen YEARS worth of Insanity.
Remember , its OK to take a day off from thinking about this to refresh your soul for the fight ahead. Again, they want us burnt out and sputtering so they can go back to operating in the dark. Right now were starting to scare them because we aren't giving up and keeping the lights on.

Oh there's a video.
Oh hes been caught lying.
The repugs are great at lying and they get away with it.
He wont go down, he will stay.
When you have CNN today still gushing over his speech, like a teen girls at a one
direction concert, there is no way there will be a media push to hold trumpy accountable
for this liar sessions.

(20,629 posts)about making any kind of moves against President "Schmuck a L'Orange", thinking that his entire MAGA zombie troll army will rise up against them and destroy them all. I have no doubt that we've had a few members of that crew in our midst ever since his "illustrious" political debut, but some of the genuine skepticism comes from the obvious spinelessness of Munster & McTurtle.
Yes, it IS a huge deal, but I'm not convinced it's a stone-cold lock that something monumental will happen as a result.
Sadly, we're a long way removed from 1974.
