I had to go to bed. Trying to get my B/P down.

yet..

NOTHING

If we must go to the streets, do so peacefully and turn on any demonstrators that wear mask and start violence.

it takes approximately 3% of the population sustaining protests to overthrow a dictator.

that this will ultimately bite republicans in their corrupt asses. Full facts will come out eventually, and it won't look good for them.

THEIR LEADER! Yes, I said THEIR LEADER...not mine! I can only hope the VOTERS...QALL OF THEM, recognize what's happening and will vote against any Puglican up for reelection, and every Puglican on any ballot where a Democrat is running for any position.

I just hope we can hold onto our democracy until the LEADER sees time behind bars forever! May his supporters join him in his NEW Federally Funded quarters.

So, the Trump voters will have the opportunity to hire even worse pukes to represent the rich, not them. What I just can't get my head around is why do those who are un-rich keep voting against their own self interests, year after year after year.

Us Dems need to come up with the right message that can attract these puke voters. Keeping harping on DACA just makes things worse. Immigration is a losing issue with these people, so why bet the farm on that?

Space science is a winning issue. Why not speak to these voters and put forth new legislation that increases funding for NASA. There is so much cool there that I can't imagine anyone voting against it. But I suppose there are those on the extreme left that would rather eliminate NASA funding and use the savings for other more pressing issues such as housing for the poor right here on good'ol' Terra Firma. I'd tell them to get the Congress to reduce military spending to cover such costs.

I know all too well the issue with the lack of affordable housing. It prevents me from owning my own home. but, hey, it's my own fault, I got too sick to work and had to retire on disability. Just try living any assemblence on such a pultry sum. I guess I should just go ahead and end my life. No one cares anyway.
So sadding.

It can seem pretty dark some days. Hang in there... we are all connected

after seeing this bullshit... I fear for this country, I really do. Gawd I hate these people!

And I thought they were totally disgraceful before this.

and are transparently in favor of the end of democracy in the United States.

Your card, my card, the Democrats' card, the independents' card, the never-Trumpers' card, the Constitution's card, the free world's card, everyone.

The actions of Trump and the Congressional Republicans only seem not to be refuted because they're playing to their base, publicly, while Mueller is a prosecutor quietly putting together his case with utmost secrecy.

The play for public opinion will only garner them short term attention. The true story begins when Mueller starts dropping his bombs.

The court of public opinion is not on this jury.

it disturbs me greatly that we look at a republican former FBI director who was a member at Trump's golf club as our savior. What the fuck has happened?

But he's an employee of brigands.

Congress would be holding the president accountable.

But with a shithead majority, there is no accountability.

nm

A few..those few will be standouts. But it will be hard for them to do. When? next month or so..This corruption will get much worse. don't know how or why..it will...

Then a few in their party will come out against Trump, totally and completely. And that will be very ugly for those that do.

You are more optimistic than I am. I could use some of that right now.

Those lawless reTHUGS need to be forced to choose between the rule of law and the rule of tRump.

No words......

Feels scary to watch the overthrow of your government with no good signs in sight. I feel like Repubs are going to get away with this.

I am so disgusted and overwhelmed by the corruption of the republican party. I feel like I just want to curl up in a little ball and pray for a miracle. How much more of this are we going to have to endure? It is unbearable.

nm

Chump and his cabal have no respect or regard for the rule of law. They are all treasonous bastards.

I was boiling with impotent rage here by myself and needed to commiserate.

by releasing classified info on sources inside Russia ... TRAITORS

If we can get out of this ugly mess we need to see that all involved are prosecuted to the fullest extent so this shit never happens again.

Everything he ran into he just trashed it.

"Rigged election!"

"Fake News!"

"It's political!"

It's always the other guy that's crooked. He is poor little Donald. He needs to be institutionalized.

Where's my new duty station? Someone mentioned a flash mob coming up for Rosenstein and or Mueller.

So much for law and order. It seems to me there is a host of others who are involved in this conspiracy. All of them elected officals (sp).

the whole Republican Ayn Rand radical libertarian hate everybody party?

Every day I feel like I want to upchuck when I read the news, so I've stopped reading it every day. The most I can stomach, honestly, is looking it over maybe every two days - sometimes three. No shit. I mean, I used to live and breathe this stuff, but these days? It's like we would be better off not even having a president than having a dirtbag like Trump in there.

And it isn't just Trump....the punk Ryan....Turtle....Louis (I can cipher!) Gohmert and the rest of the collection of misfits.

Not to mention Steve (Dr. Goebbels) Miller.

Aaaargh!

What are WE going to do? The Dems do not have as much power as you seem to think. They are all over the internet and cable stations pointing out the obvious. We have to give them more power. How? Vote in huge numbers for the Dems next November.

going to do in the face of this attack on our system? If we don't regain control in the next election we just give up?

A massive flood across the social media landscape might get some attention. All we ever see/hear from are about a dozen or so - on corporate supported TV. There IS one bright star of late, but I'm not going to say their name. I'd just get alerted again.

To use against him and take him down, but I'm pretty discouraged, at this point, about that happening, and that the Republicans are utterly corrupted in the cover up.

It's so frustrating, that I would have to stop watching media entirely, if Trump succeeds at this, and just turn out to vote in November.

They have only gotten worse! :/

One bright spot -- the mask has been ripped away. Nothing but the leer of rotting souls remains. Bloody teeth. The Demon Primate.

I've never imagined this was possible. They seem to assume that if they can force their will, we'll all go into the darkness quietly. They're playing a game that historically ends with the destruction of all they know and love.

I do not think they will ever be able to cover this over. If they win, we all die. If they lose, they will be forever the Villain, like Sir Schicklgruber.

Forever.

So enraged I can't even begin to describe it.

These people need to be marched in a chain gang out of the White House and the Capitol to stand trial for treason!

...we're in banana-republic territory now.

I fear for what lies ahead.

Never thought I’d live in a dystopian section society- but it’s heading that way.

Hard to see how we dig out of this.

Strangely, there's an old B movie (Rollerball) on a local broadcast station tonight. It's not worth watching, but when I hit the "Info" button it got a bit weird:

"The year is 2018 in a futuristic society where corporations have replaced countries."

I am feeling more sadness and dread than anger.

but this is one of them.

Trump/McConnell were fine with Putin helping them defeat democracy. How do we make that message loud and clear?

I feel like every day I live in fear and disgust.

Did you REALLY think these traitorous Trumpublicans would roll over without one final, sinister but desperate ploy to save their asses from the gallows?

Nawwww... This latest machination is tantamount to the apoplectic thrashing and gnashing of an animal hopelessly trapped.

The walls have closed in and the space is increasingly finite.

Stay the course. RESIST!

Nothing to do but Resist, but we are the ones who need the last ditch hail mary, not to mention a two point conversion, recover an onsides kick, another hail mary and two point conversion.

To tie the game ...

The release of this memo has me outraged indeed. Give these idiots control and they think they are dictators.

but nothing is going to change until the American people get off their butts and take to the streets. Republicans will do whatever it takes to protect this monster. Wake up. He will NEVER be impeached.

this guy in office do not deserve that office..

Checking in

He is fat king George 45 and Americans need to toss him off his throne, along with all his cowardly traitors.

Congressman Schiff now on.

Republicans are continuing to put party above country. I am disgusted by their deliberate disregard for the rule of law and the threat from Russia in undermining our democracy.

Trump and Republicans are dangerous.

How the hell did the GOP decide to destroy democracy?

I fully intend to work my a$$ off heading into the midterms.

Our only hope is that Superman will be there to catch us all before we crash violently into the ground below. This is not going to end well for this country. We have become too complacent, ignorant, apathetic, and entitled as a nation to carry on. I blame the corporate "America", MSM, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, and the dumpster himself for shoving him down our collective throats and laughing all the way to the bank. We're doomed.

I am clueless...but it doesn't sound good. now I need to go watch Rachel or read some Reuters...

It sounds like a coup before the state of the union...will he be declaring martial law and stopping elections next?

wtf?

45 is just the village idiot.

Nov 2018!!!!!!

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE AHEAD.

I was born during the Truman administration, and I’ve never seen anything like this goddamned shit-show in my entire fucking life. Republicans have gone from being straight-arrow tight-asses to the Russia-loving, dictator-cocksucking, Trump-humping sycophants they are today. They wanted a “tough daddy,” and they’ll eventually have one in Putin. Trump is the “useful idiot” defined.

WTF happened to “law and order” or “if you don’t like America, why don’t you move to Russia?” Now they skirt law and order at every turn, sneak their shit into everything from textbooks to policy, and have a collective purple hard-on for Putin and Russia, truly the world’s “beacon of freedom.” Under Putin’s direction, our free elections and political processes have been hijacked. But Republicans don’t give a shit about fair elections; Christ, they now want to punish defeated opposing candidates AFTER elections. The U.S. under Trump and his toadies has been transformed into the Number One Shithole Country on the planet. And the RussiaPublicans are damn happy about it. How anti-American can they possibly be?

Rush fucking Limbaugh no longer speaks for these assholes, Alex Jones does, for fuck’s sake. Republicans don’t even put stock in science, which is a death-blow for this country. Climate change? Bah, that’s a liberal hoax. They want full rights and protection for zygotes, but make life hell for women, POC, children the elderly and the chronically ill — all completely disposable. Trump and his boosters are trying to put a noose around a free press and free speech. If they gain another term, they’ll kill those freedoms.

I’ll be 69 in a few months, and I didn’t come all this way to see the U.S. turned into some heartless wasteland weighted down with 300+ million guns and “led” by a cadre of lunatics, misfits, conspiracy nuts and bible-beaters who think education and healthcare are part of some “evil government mind-plot.”

For Republicans, ambivalence is defined by their one dilemma: Should the United States be an oligarchy, or a theocracy?
Fuck them all, BURY them in 2018 and 2020, if it’s still possible to have fair elections with Russia pulling levers, the “party of Lincoln” intimidating and disenfranchising black and Latino voters, gerrymandering, or worse— another “Pearl Harbor-like event.”

Excellently put.

End GOP before they end US.

but count me in!

Back to Jordon that is hardly a terrorist... yet we have Russian spies working within this administration we can’t seem to prove.

I think it's obvious that with this move, ALL the damn rethugs took money from Russia too. For the first time since this nightmare began, I fear for our nation. If Rosenstein is fired and then Mueller, we're all screwed.

and I still can't believe Congress is full of traitors to America, but it is a fact now!

Just enough left to jump on a plane to DC for whatever march will occur as the sh*t hits the fan.

That OUR leaders are quiet. Nancy "impeachment is off the table" Pelosi should be before the cameras every second making a huge waves. Chuck Schumer should be pounding the drums calling for impeachment and jail time for anyone enabling Trump. But, the Democratic leadership is quiet and have seemed to demure to the GOP. What the hell?

trying to destroy America.

outraged and exhausted.

and so afraid that they are all going to get away with everything, just like Cheney and his guys did.

However I really believe that the repugs in our government supporting Trump have simply made a corrupt and lucrative business decision on their own behalf. They have traded all morality and honesty for their own financial interests. It is really a business now. Call it EasypickingsInc. Voted out, they will walk away with their millions caring not at all for this country or what they have done to it. I am sure they giggle when at home over how easy it is to control their uneducated base with their made up conspiracies. They probably have parlor games with their friends over making up the next one. They don't care about Russia either. Hell, they can live in Russia in style.. or anywhere for that matter.

At home conversation:

"No darling I really do not believe in what I say and what I say I support", "Yes I am lying but you see it is a business decision, one that puts money in our account so you can go to the best schools and live in the best countries" "No darling the United States is not the best country anymore" "Yes darling it is okay to be racist and misogynist now if you have the money to do so. That is what controls the base. It is simply an economic decision - see they say that on Fox News!" "Yes our channel darling".

"Great! - you are going to sell miracle pancakes to those folks down the street in support of Trump? YES! You've got the idea now!, just a little tweaking there.. I would suggest pizza and throw in some child slave business"

I am so furious and absolutely disgusted. I am also so disgusted by the amount of people that just ignore everything and act like Trump is a "normal" president.

I need to process all of this.

on the FBI side, here's a thread to make you feel a bit better

Link to tweet

shit

It's all so discouraging and upsetting. I'm not talking about policies. I'm talking about the corruption and the threats to our democracy, and the Russian involvement. Now Trump is NOT imposing the sanctions against Russia that Congress had passed, and Congress isn't doing anything about it.

So things have gotten worse since Congress passed those sanctions. NOW they wouldn't even pass them.

It's almost more than I can take. I'm getting worn down. I don't know how Schiff is still standing. He's dealing with heady issues every day, in a losing battle.

The biggest crooks on the planet, with the lowest possible score in terms of a record for being law-abiding -- are attacking all top law enforcement, Dept of Justice, and the Courts. Right out in the open.

And keep telling us they're the 'law and order' party.

A "District Attorney Roy Moore as Moses handing down the 10 Commandments while he's strutting around like a hill-billy wise-guy committing felonies" style of law enforcement. Arpiehole, Christie, Giuliani, that kind of law enfocement. Mussolini style -- he 'wiped out the mob' with his best buddy Vito Genovese.

I honestly hope we can make it to the November elections and the people repel this abomination

And now the latest news on CNBC is that Trump is talking to sessions about prosecuting Mueller!!!

[link:https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/30/trump-reportedly-talking-about-having-sessions-prosecute-mueller.html]

Eve of destruction
Tax deduction
Ball of confusion
That's what the world is today.
Yeah hey.
