Hey folks! I think we are in huge trouble?

Trump is going tearing down this country all before Mueller is finished with his investigations! The GOP are with him at Camp David and nothing good will be coming out of the meetings this weekend!

The usual course of action in a political crisis is to throw someone into the volcano and see if it appeases the gods. If not, then someone higher up has to go next. Who would be next higher up from the AG? Discussion may have come down to not letting Trump cost the Republicans both houses of Congress in 2018. The Repukes in Congress may turn on the Orange Menace more quickly than we think.

Mueller is smarter than the lot of them. All he has to do is make public everything he has on them. Not to mention that Eric Schneiderman can still press state charges. Nothing they can do about that.

I fully expect Republicans to claim that there is a liberal plot to take over the country and refuse to follow the law or any court orders or any arrests.

Full fucking chaos and anarchy

Cox, FBI were sent in to kick everyone out and make sure they did not take any files. In this digital age, I bet they have duplicate efiles in a safe place.

The Orange One does not have the level of support to get away with a coup. The Orange One is simply too stupid to organize to get away with trashing the Constitution.

You have to have faith in the Country. Considering the alternative is too painful.

Organize - resist - vote!

This country was born in a revolution against a mentally ill king. If need be, it can be reborn in a revolution against a mentally ill despot.

The goal is to avoid that necessity. We all have to take responsibility for the future of the Country.

Organize - resist - vote!
