(10,053 posts)He has been furiously tweeting at Paul Ryan about wanting to get rid of Mueller. [link:https://mobile.twitter.com/funder/status/926557141951045632?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet|

(69 posts)Do you really think it's just an accident that a de facto Putin bootlicker like Carter Page was on public television volunteering that Sessions was told all about Popoulous arrangements for Russian meetings so the press would roll it out all week? And Dems unfortunately falling for it again by demanding Sessions return to the Senate for more investigating?
Yeah, Sessions is a lying dirtbag but we've known that Right now the fact of his exclusion from the campaign/Russian matter (aka Mueller) so that it is being managed by Rod Rosenstein is the ONLY thing that prevents Don the Con from shutting it all down. Replacing the AG and Rosenstein goes away and so does Mueller.

(8,698 posts)I would love that to be the case. I hope it is but recent events have darkened my perspective and it would take hundreds of thousands in the streets to make me believe again. Nothing short of a clear majority in the streets would make a difference.
Rolling transportation strikes and services strikes in combination with protest would be even better.
Americans just are not civically-minded as they are in other countries. If they were, we wouldnt be in the situation in the first place.

Spread the word. This will be effective only if there is a big turn out across the country.

Am I wrong?
Signed up, btw. Hubs and I will be in the streets. Our son will be on Pennsylvania Avenue.
