Does It Feel Like The Government Is Melting Down?

These latest developments are very troublesome. We don't have just a Manchurian candidate we have a Manchurian GOP government right now. I am surprised all Democratic legislators are not in jail already.

The news about Steele who is not an American citizen is just stunning. Do they plan to demand extradition from Greeat Britain.
Where are the protests against the GOP.

1. The Steele thing will go nowhere. A recommendation

to the justice department to criminally investigate is just that. A recommendation. Also the big reason is because they discovered something in the dossier related to a date that the F.B.I. had already disclosed to the intelligence committees. So Graham and Grassley are just regurgitating the same information back to the F.B.I. as if it is something new. That was on Rachel tonight.

support Trump to keep his base on their side. I'm from S.C. I know Grahams constituents well. They are mostly religiously bigoted. Some outright racist. I was unlucky enough to hear Graham give a speech next door, at a private B.B.Q. while visiting my brother in law. It was at night. Outdoors. So people spoke loudly. Lot's of code words and phrases bantered around. It was an anti Obama speech.

3. The Women's March is for everyone to attend.

I expect it to be an airing of all their grievances as it was last year. It will be an Impeachment March, a 25th Amend March, an anti GOP issues March.

Indivisible and MoveOn.org are strong, smart, energized, organized and have realistic goals. They are not deterred and are getting stronger. RESIST!

I live in a rural area that is 85% Republican and there are two in my area. I think I will be at the march north of me. I am expecting about 40 people to be there.

Just keep putting him off perpetually. Protests will come when the global warming and climate change extreme weather breaks.

12. It really does feel like a coup.

They are plotting to prevent the 2018 election from succeeding. We can't win the Senate anyway because too few Republicans are running.

Even Mueller can only recommend something be done about Trump. He can do nothing itself.
