To Think We Have This "New Normal" Until 2020 Or Even 2024 Is Unthinkable.

Because of GOP help I am not sure Trump is going anywhere. It seems like there is no level of corruption or chaos that will move the GOP leadership. We know they were in on the election fraud and they cannot afford for the truth to come out. Plus they need to be able to continue to function so they can game the election in November.

We are captive to a wholly criminal mob with the GOP right now. Every day reveals that reality more clearly. It looks like Democrats will make gains but there are no guarantees.

What complete debacle must happen before action is taken.

Not unless the Left shows up at the polls this year and votes in numbers like it's a presidential election. Taking either of both houses of Congress will put a serious check on Trump's continued effort to take apart this country. Trump may well be impeached but he will not be convicted, no matter how much of a fantasy that is for some of us on the Left.

If Democrats just take back the House, it will be abig change for the better. If we take back the Senate too, Trump may be finished.
