They don't like something they lie about it then change the narrative to suit themselves.

6. It would be insurmountable if the GOP didn't hold all the levers of power.

The GOP can assume ownership of puppet Trump from Putin by sitting on the blackmail with Ryan & McConnell assuming the role of co-presidents.

Is Jeff Sessions going to do something about it? FBI & Clinton knee-capper Comey? You're dreaming if you think so.

What can the "fake" media or anyone do about it? Not much. This isn't 1974 because we have no power until the next election (if they don't rig that one too).

I'm a fan of Michael Moore and appreciate his efforts with his Resistance Calendar for example

But it's just noise they'll have to tolerate while they tighten their grip on the power they seized - illegally in my opinion.

I watched a bunch of the UK parliament debate today - a result of 2 million petitioning the government - many who were protesting outside while the debate went on. At the end, they voted verbally to deny Trump an official state visit. But the government said, screw that, state visit is on - F U.

Get used to it. Without the power, that's what the next four years are probably going to be like - even if we see the bastard impeached.

I'm undaunted. I'm still going to speak out. Cheer on the protests. Expose the lies. etc. But I know the odds are very poor of achieving anything.

Been a tough year. Bernie lost. Hillary lost. Now this for the next four years. Sucked the juices out of me. But I have to try to fight it even if our chances are tiny. It's what I've done my whole life - not just when times were good.

9. Of course Moaning Ho tried to equate Clinton's lie about Monica Lewinsky with Trump re: Russia. . .

How many years ago was the "Lewinsky scandal"? And they're still talking about it? WTF?
