Just Listening To Some Of The Cable News Shows This A.M. And It's Clear The Repug &.....

Administrations talking heads and talking points are fully distributed and they are pushing back hard on the Russian collusion thingy. Even though Jr. provided absolute proof of their collusion.

Trump himself is feeling the pressure and has taken to excessive tweeting this a.m. - still - in his mind - rehashing the election and trying to pass blame on Hillary, the Dems, and the MSM.

We need to keep the pressure up on these people. We need to always keep in mind that - yes Trump is a problem - but the main problem is that the Repugs keep on defending him and are still putting Party before Country.

We must defeat the Repugs in 2018 and 2020. We need to take back control of the House and Senate - then we could deal with the likes of Trump and his treasonous administration and family.

It doesn't matter that every member of DU know he helped steal the election with Putin's help. It doesn't matter that some of the MSM news has been dragged kicking and screaming to finally do their jobs as journalists. It doesn't matter that intelligence agencies all agree Russia conspired with the GOP and Trump's election directors, or that Don Jr. admitted to it.

All Trump and the GOP need is for their rabid base of deplorables to show up to the the voting booths, pumped up even more on anger that their poor Dear Leader is being mocked and ridiculed and being railroaded in a witch hunt. That every TV news network, besides Fox, is now 'fake news' and they are a part of the conspiracy against Trump. That they will NEVER surrender to the libtards and allow Trump to be shamed out of office. After all he has only just begun, he has so much more greatness to achieve.

All it takes is for Democrat voters to not all show up. But also the failure to convince those who may not have any political affiliation or general interest that this is important enough to get off their keesters and change things. That even if they are not one of the easily brainwashed deplorables, and sense Trump is no good, that it is worth their precious time to stand in lines (made longer by the GOP) to vote for the other party that they hear through the grapevine is almost as bad.

MTP is showing old clips of tRump denying anything and everything.

The Archie Bunkers won't change their minds. The independents and neutrals are turning against the liars.

We are at the point where laughing at Trump and family begins to prop up their "We're new at this, so it's not a crime" crap. The GOP is just as rotten as the Trump family, as noted by the common list of talking points. They need to be called out and questioned repeatedly on their fucked up definitions of democracy, election integrity, and organized crime.

It is no democracy when Russia interfered with the express persmission of one of the candidates. You know those votes were manipulated to favor the Falso presidente.

Now for a generation.

Time to take the long view and figure out how we are going to pick up the pieces.

Some comfort in knowing it was stolen, not given away, by most of us, anyway.

They too have taken money from Russia and do not want the very wide net to snag them up. So it is in their best interests to help protect Trump because if his posterior is revealed so may theirs be.
