He has never been fit to be president. That's why he was installed as president - no way he would win a fair election.

He's going to try a diversion with the new ban, but it isn't going to work.
I would think now that his biggest worry is putin. He's made a deal he can't keep. The Russian Mafioso doesn't play nice with people like that.

I realize it SHOULD be the end of him. I acknowledge it almost certainly won't because the GOP is willing to tell the majority of the country to fuck off and suffer if it means they get to transform the government into a conservative's wet dream. And the voters are ultimately to blame, so can I even blame the politicians, really?

Waiting for a movie today in Bethesda, MD, DC suburb, another 'waiter,' unknown to me, reading on his smart phone, says '3 months until impeachment.' We chat (briefly.) His friends appear to agree.

I have the feeling that we have been seeing what we will, in the future, refer to as Trump Lite.

Wait until the impeachment proceedings begin before you start getting gobsmacked about what Drumpf has to say in a tweet.

Next week is going to be a down one for people that care about America.

Bannon's working on the IC




And Monday is going to be a new immigration order. Expect protests.

This is not going to be over without persistance. Get ready to stand up peacefully for what you believe in.

It's high time the Republican Party plays by the same rules as the Democratic Party.
This will mean the end of the GOP, but deservedly so. The party is a den of thieves.

Have you noticed that these episodes follow attempts to sound almost rational? The joint session speech although it had many problems common with modern Republicans was not irrational. Trump is out of control eventually large numbers of people are going to get hurt.

He's here to stay.
Even if he's convicted of colluding with Russians to swing the election there are no laws compelling the Congress to impeach him.
It's totally at their discretion.

There's no way to get rid of him unless the Republican leaders order it and they will do nothing unless it starts affecting votes from their uninformed, ignorant voters.
