If this bastard gets confirmed, when Dems take control impeach him. No norms so Dems can do what

they want. And while there at it impeach Gorsuch too. He is illegitimate. We won’t need a reason. Pay back is a bitch especially when there are no more rules or norms. Tax the shit out of the rich, secure social security, Medicare for all. Make sure they will no reason to ever vote for a republican again

My Trump loving brother in law informed me yesterday that the drug cartels wanted Hillary to win.

My brother-in-law isn’t book smart but a very good business man. He is very wealthy but his mind is polluted. He denies watching Fox but that is a lie. His common theme is that Dems are going to come and take his money. He took over his Father's construction company but begrudges anyone who may need help from the govt. I point out that my wife’s Father died when she was 3 years old in 1965 and she and her mother lived on his social security. My wife is a successful sales executive and has paid back social security 10 times over. It’s pure ignorance on his part. All wealthy righties fear the same thing, the govt will take their money and redistribute it to others. This is the Fox mantra

We haven't even hit the tip of the iceberg with this fiasco. In the coming months there will be mind

boggling revelations about Trump, his campaign, and the Republican conspiracy of silence. While I agree Rachel’s statement is amusing and relevant, once the true horror of the Trump’s presidency is revealed, Rachel’s statement will seem understated and kind to Trump. While I’m no wordsmith, something like “It’s why you don’t deploy inter-continental ballistic nuclear missels to celebrate the 4th of July” is a more descriptive statement. I love Rachel, she and Keith Ohlberman, especially his “special comment” series that got me through the Bush era.

And repeal and replace every executive order, huge tax increases on the rich and best of all impeach

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. You see, once you go down the road of “no norms” like Rs have done, it’s a whole new world. Once Dems control White House and Congress then anything goes. How can Dems impeach Supreme Court Justices, easy, no norms means you can do whatever you want. When Dems regain power they should ruthlessly strike against Rs for their cowardice and treason. Change House and Senate rules to make certain everything passes. Every aspect of government has to be reordered to protect against Rs every destroying our country again. Use the federal budget to punish States that pass laws and regulations harmful to workers. Campaign finance laws, term limits, mandatory retirement. These rogue States who wield so much power but represent a small fraction of the population must be put in their place. Ultimately, the Constitution must be amended and modernized. But it all starts with Dems in 2020 winning. Once they do, the reforms they make better cripple the rich, revitalize the middle class and take care of the poor to make certain Rs will never again yield power.

I know for certain that Mueller's probe is massive and implicates Trump personally as the traitor

he is. How do I know this? For over 18 months there has not been a single substantive leak from the Mueller investigation. This must involve hundreds of people in secretarial, clerical, and grand jury members who know the President is a traitor and the fate of the country is at stake. The silence from the Mueller probe screams to us that some very, very bad things have and are continuing to happen involving the President and the Republican Party. Mueller’s probe when made public, will cause the wholesale rejection of republican orthodoxy and bring about a progressive wave of action that will change our society for generations. The far right will be nothing more than a footnote in history as the reordering of our political, social, and economic lives are sorted out by the next 20 years of progressive leadership. The silent majority of good Americans will no longer be sidelined. The republicans have woken a sleeping giant.

I have said it hundreds of times, until we deal with the Fox and Murdoch problem we cannot begin to

unite as a country. No member of the Murdoch family should have a day of peace. They should be hounded, followed and shamed. No violence. Just public shame, scorn, and condemnation. Fox and Murdoch caused the divisions in this country and exploited the weak-minded and ignorant members of the public for money. Trump showed real fear only when Fox criticized the Helsinki Humiliation. You want to see Trump really panic, have the idiots of Fox and Friends criticize him. Fox is the real enemy of the people.

Vote republicans into obscurity. I fear, however, it will take a crisis like Katrina or an epic

financial collapse to expose Trump as the fraud he is to his supporters. The ignorant and misinformed Trump base will be erecting Hooverville’s when the next economic collapse occurs. And the USA having surrendered its place as leader of the free world, the next recession/depression could expose our financial system as the house of cards/debts that it is. The only thing keeping the USA as the world leader are our institutions, mainly the courts which still retain some credibility. However, everyday Trump and the Republicans are in power, those institutions are eroding and being deligitimized. If things don’t change in November not only are we as a country in serious danger, but the entire world order is in danger. Think about it, the fact that Trump is talking with the traitor Erik Lrince about a private army to take over in Iraq and Afghanistan is scary as hell. Trump with a private army at his disposal, Trumpanzees better wake up and fast.

Wow, unthinkable a few years ago. The Evil Empire is well represented by Rep traitors in Congress

and The White House. Reagan is doing somersaults in his grave. The Republican Party needs to be voted into extinction. You can’t make this shit up. It will be up to Dems to once again save the Republic. A progressive wave is coming the likes of which will change the fabric of our country. Trump’s actions should be reversed and when we take over Gorsuch and the Kavanaugh if confirmed should be impeached and removed because they were appointed by an illegitimate President and confirmed by an illegitimate Senate under the control of Putin.

I really wanted Hillary to win and was proud to accompany my two daughters to vote in 2016. We were

devastated by her loss. We thought the Supreme Court would be taken care of by progressive Justices for the next 30-40 years. After reflecting the past 18 plus months what I have slowly come to realize is the deep seated, visceral hatred of Hillary that was cultivated and nurtured by right wing nut job media with help from the Russians. That hatred is pathological. Until we deal with the likes of Fox and Murdochs of the world, another Trump candidate or worse is possible. Fox News is the problem. Trump was terrified when he thought Fox was put off the Helsinki Humiliation. Until we deal with Fox and the legitimizing of lies we cannot move forward.
