Chris Matthews Predicting Trump will resign "within a few weeks"...

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/government-shutdowns-tend-to-boost-washingtons-spending-economist-says-chris-matthews-predicts-trump-may-resign-in-the-coming-weeks-2018-12-18

I told a friend of mine the day that old racist Jeff Sessions resigned that something BIG was coming. I don't know if it's good or bad, but it IS coming... Sessions has kissed all of the right rings over the years, and he knows where the bodies are hidden, so to speak...

Has anyone else noticed a LOT less chatter about the "Caravan" over the past 2 weeks or so, or is it just me?? I think a lot of that is distraction, and we need to be keeping our eyes on how Russia reacts to what's going on in France, Venezuela & China... The strangest thing is seeing people who are screaming for the Border Wall saying "Open Doors America!" over Christians being arrested/detained in China...

Peace!

The swamp is still full. None of the Trump children or Kushner have been indicted yet, and Mueller's report still hasn't been made public. In the meanwhile, Trump is destroying the entire country as we know it. What if this is just the new norm? What if our institutions have become so corrupt that the rich really can get away with anything?

Also, I thought Sessions resigned because it was his King Trump's wishes....

A.G. just resigned... *This* will NEVER be "the new norm" because there are a bunch of us who won't stand for it and let it happen. I live in a VERY RED area and even people around here are getting disgusted. I've been telling people for months now that when the shit finally hits the fan, it's NOT going to be "Dem vs Repub", it's going to be "Rich vs Poor" in a battle against Plutocracy..

It was my understanding that Trump drove Sessions out because Sessions didn't agree with what Trump was doing, but I've been wrong before...

Peace!

however, the history of the last 2 years suggests . . . very much otherwise.

It’s a God-send that Democrats have the House. Otherwise, we would be completely screwed. Pence’s campaign against Trump seems to be coming to its ultimate successful end.

No, this is not acceptable. No more walkies for crooked POTUSes. An example needs to be set, one that was missed in 1974.

But if he is right he will be hailed as a prophet.
Unfortunately, timing is everything in predictions because if you claim it will rain you will be correct sooner or later.

He may get his wall today, which will be followed by a victory lap that lasts for two years.

It'll take the house hearings a while to gain some steam.

And he may have the acting AG fire Mueller. What does he have to loose? Nothing. This is not a person that walks a tight rope. He doesn't hunker down and wait for the storm to pass. He is more like a rat...when he's cornered he just gets more aggressive.
