Just a thought, Yes we must protect freedom of speech when it comes to the news media.

Can we pass laws, set standards that define when someone can call themselves a news organization? Can we pass laws that require people, organizations, to set certain standards of legitimacy before they can call themselves a news organization?

I have a hard time calling fox news a news organization.The so called right ring news media over the past 20 years has fucked this country up. They are more propaganda than news. Should they have the right to call themselves the news?

Republicans have screwed up so badly on healthcare even their voters have noticed.

That's hard to do. Usually a republican voter won't know there being screwed until it's to late. I have been predicting for a long time Obamacare would repeal and replace the republicans, Not the other way around. No matter what the republicans do on healthcare they are going to pay a big price in 2018. Will they pay a big enough price is the question? Will the democrats gain control of congress? This will be a big issue, along with what is happening with the trump investigation.

Things could go extremely bad for the republican party next year. It would make sense. They have been stretching the boundaries of democracy for years. It's got to break at some point.

A day of reckoning is coming.

I do not know how exactly all this madness will end. I do know it will end badly. The country and the people will pay a price. Many americans, not all, will realize how foolish they have been. At this very moment people around the world are wondering what the hell is wrong with the american people. That's a fact.

I hope the american people do not get hurt badly. Then again maybe they need to get hurt badly so they wake the hell up. We are all involved in this madness.

Is Trump dumb enough to fire Mueller?

We have to remember Trumps brain does not work like ours. He has one fucked up brain. Trump may fire Mueller just to slow things down. Stretch out the investigation. He has probably been warned not to do it. This would cause him big problems but I don't think trumps brain looks at it that way. It's all about now.

I have to admit, it is amazing trump has gone 70 years without going to prison or somebody killing him. Trump has been a scumbag his entire life.

It may be necessary mueller will have to fast track a part of the investigation.

This is a very large investigation with many different parts. Some parts could take years. The FBI is following the money of the Trump organization. If they find something they may not go directly after Trump, instead they could go after the Trump organization and the people in it.

They are also investigating the people who work for Trump in the Whitehouse. Many of them have committed felonies. Trumps son in law (who has a face you want to punch) lied on his security clearance. That's a felony. Flynn is facing multiple felonies. The little weasel, racist attorney general committed perjury. Manafort broke the law. All of them are going on trial. It could take a while.

They are also investigating Trump. This may have to be fast tracked. I believe mueller will show proof that trump committed obstruction of justice. Then I believe he will show proof Trump has been compromised by Russia. He is open to blackmail. That can not wait because it is a national security risk. The Sally Yates warning about Flynn now includes Trump. It is self evident trump can no longer serve as president because he is open to blackmail. Just my opinion.

This is starting to rise to the level of treason. This is going to get a lot worse for Trump and

his people. What a bunch of idiots. This is just the beginning. You know a lot more is going to come out in the investigations. A lot of people are going to prison. We may be witnessing the biggest scandal in american history. A scandal that was avoidable except for the foolishness of so many americans. Anybody who watched the campaign of trump knew he was up to no dam good. They just ignored it.

Trump voters are fools.

When I look at trump I see this.

A child, a fool, a fraud, a liar, someone who is mentally ill, a very greedy person. Someone who spends every second of his life trying to make himself look better then he is. He is completely nuts when it comes to self image. He is very stupid in many ways. He is UN-American in many ways. He is completely unqualified to be president. What could possible go wrong?

All of the above is self evident. A child could recognize it. Yet, we have millions of americans who are blind to all of this. That scares me more than Trump himself. Infamous words from trump voters. I wanted something different.

History does repeat itself. Maybe not exactly in the same way, but in a way that rhymes. Throughout history humans have in mass destroyed themselves. They fall victim to fear. They follow what sounds good. They listen to people who are fooling them. People who have an agenda.

I do not know how badly this will all end. But if you pay attention to history you will understand it could be very destructive.

Just talked to a Republican/Trump voter.

He is brainwashed on every issue except one. Healthcare. Trump voters know the republicans lied to them about healthcare, Obamacare.

Next years election will should be about healthcare. This is why the republicans are in a panic trying to pass something. They are screwed. Seven years of lying about Obamacare to get votes has caught up to them.

Does anyone else here think that when the shit finally hits the fan,

It's going to be explosive. All these investigations one day are going to end. All the madness of trump and the people that work for him will be exposed. For me, it feels like a volcano is slowly building up and one day it's going to explode.

I think its fair to say, a lot of people are going to prison. I know Flynn is screwed.

A quote by Thomas Paine. He describes trump perfectly.

"Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent. Selected from the rest of mankind their minds are easily poisoned by importance, and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large; that they have but little opportunity knowing its true interests; and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions."
