In the fall of 2018 Trump went to Lebanon, OH and spoke about good old
Gen. Bobby Lee of the treasonous Confederate States of America. That was
no accident because that area is the home to the Klan in OH and 2 of the
people who turned violent @ the Charlottesville, VA white nationalist rally
were from that area.

@ my late father's services about 1 month ago a nationally know political
scientist and an old friend of the family said that when the Mueller report
comes out Trump will see a drop in his support but in America we have
something like 25% of America who are racist, sexist, and or right wing
extremist Christians and they will almost never leave Trump and Trump
calls out to them every time he does his White Power gang sign.

Mostly I refuse to get sucked into outrage and tongue-clicking tsk-tsks about whatever is the daily Trump outrage. And it is daily that he says or performs some shit. The best thing for me to do is to focus on electing Dems in 2020. That is the most productive use of my political time.

Trump will not last forever. He WILL reap what he has sown. He WILL face justice, or he will simply die and go to Hell.

The only way he will reap what he has sown and face justice is if we MAKE it happen. Karma may be a thing but it works way too slowly in tRump's case.

Please wake up.

and those yammering for insurrection are no more capable of waking up than Trump at this point. But imo, the senate is democracy's current weak point, where it will hold or break. Then the courts.

Pitting his studio audience against the rest of the world.

Hey Trump: YOU'RE FIRED. ASSHOLE.

a military putsch, either to keep Trump in power or remove him. And it doesn't really seem serious. The senate and then possibly SCOTUS are where democracy is fragile, and I think his message is mostly about the senate here.

Absent military intervention, Trump's just broadcasting increasingly desperate wishes. More of his cluelessness. By far most of those yammering about uprising are no more likely to grab a gun or golf club to take over the nearest federal building than he is. They're also not going to "wake up," but, like radicals and reactionaries in general, they're far more of a minority than their own noise allows them to realize.

But maybe it's time to write our senators again.

That is the deadline for 81 people/originations to produce documents to the House. How many will fail to comply and what will the response be. Stay tuned.

... they would make up some phony support a group of people

to wear to the grocery store and go about our business in our neighborhoods, in safety. They don't have to say "MAGA." A red cap will confuse them.

Maybe just put the cap on our dash, when we're in the store, so our cars don't get keyed or tires slashed.

I live in Trumper Territory. I will not put a Democratic Party sticker on my car. I guess I'm part of the underground resistance, now.

Cornered animals are dangerous. We need to be vigilant and not brush off his calls to violence or actual violence from Trump or his minions. Can you imagine what Republicans would have done if Obama said anything similar (not that he ever would have)?

He's been cornered qiite a few times. The difference to adjust would be that he has more power now, so I'd imagine it would magnify it a bit. But I think his basic reaction would be the same.

I don't know the answer to my own question.

It's not the same situation. He always had an out. This would be more of an act of desperation.

But bankruptcy is psychologically like dismissing his resposibility without regard for other entities. Getting money from the Russians is like circumventing his losses by getting support through any means, even illegal means, even if it indebts him politically and financially. We probably already knew that but it kind of solidifies how we think about his basic instincts.

specifically warned us about this. tRump will try to burn what he cannot control. The time for vigilance is now.

predicated on 2 years of attacking the obama clinton soros 'deep state' coup attempt and calls for walls and government shutdowns.

those radio stations and their ignorant racist blowhards are going to get more of a prominent role in any emergency.

and they can use paid callers to rile up the base - maybe paid callers from russia....

doing that at about 2 in the morning when everyone was trying to sleep. he must have been 60 or 70 and the strange thing was that he had huge incisor teeth that extended over his lips when he smiled at me

but overnight bus trips are still way better than trump

I think he's in his own personal Alamo last stand because what does he have left if he does leave? I believe very firmly that he's installed himself for life. And yesterday's veto is proof that he believes he is above the law and is America's first king of his own making. We need to be praying for a widowmaker event.

He's gotten by (and by that I mean without meaningful consequences) with every corrupt, illegal and repugnant bit of past behaviors in his worthless and despicable excuse for a life. Why would it change now?

... because he's the "pResident".

Yes, he's gotten away with all kinds of things - but he never had to deal with at least 17 ongoing investigations of his business dealings and his conduct while in office, with undoubtedly more to come.

He's never been held accountable in any serious way, or in a way that couldn't be disappeared with enough money and a good lawyer.

I take joy in knowing that Spanky - for all his arrogant bloviating - must regret ever having been elected every single second of his currently miserable life. He probably dreams about the days he could golf whenever he wanted, cheat on his taxes, use his "charitable foundation" as his personal piggy-bank, and grab pussies with abandon.

Now he's chin-deep in shit that isn't going to go away.

We're not threatening anybody. Just wanna make that clear up front. But we'll do what we have to do to defend ourselves, should it come to that.
