Bobstandard's JournalPrepare for disappointment
Mueller’s report goes clunk. Manafort and Flynn got off. Cosby walks. We sigh. We listen to Rachel and her panels talk on about what could be coming next. Don’t worry, there is supersceeding stuff that could happen to make this mess right. hope burns eternal
But what if none of those carrots we hold out in front of ourselves don’t deliver the comeuppance we hope for. What if the Trump Org indictments deliver less than we hope? What if all these initiatives drag on to the mid terms, one disappointment after another until gerrymandering voters rights occluding Republicans retake the House and Senate (and they will unless we see some real progress somewhere).
Prepare yourself. That is the likely scenario.
We talk here about fighting like Republicans do.
Prepare yourself to do that on the street level. Prepare yourself to be the Antifa that Republicans talk about and fear but that we are not actually-yet.
Lamest of the four?
It’s pretty easy to get discouraged. Schumer won’t even require a talking filibuster to make it a tiny bit harder for Republicans to use the filibuster to thwart democratic lawmaking.
Now Nancy has identified four ways Congress might move forward to instigate the January insurrection. I have a pretty good guess which one it will be. The answer, when it comes, will say a lot
