I get that "something's coming down the pike" feeling

Last edited Thu Jun 13, 2019, 09:30 AM - Edit history (1)

with MF45, every projection is a confession....each. and. every. time.

Now, it's "Heeeeey....who *cares* if we get foreign help...as long as we pwn those libtards" from "no collusion, no obstruction"

While they try to slow walk Mueller, they commit MORE treason.

Call this out as much as you can. Point out FOREIGN SOIL because....wtf?

I think there is much more coming.

The facts show that the Navy fired first in the August 2 incident, which Johnson lied about, and there was no August 4th incident. Obviously we don't know what is going on in Oman right now, but to immediately speculate about Iran is irresponsible of the media

our misbegotten invasion of Iraq drastically elevated Iranian strength in the Middle East. Now the Saudis want payback, and want the US to take out Iran for them.

Now that they have an openly complicit lapdog in the White House, they want action.

impeach now and what's coming will just look like a distraction from impeachment which will exonerate a guilty man in the Senate. If we lose impeachment, he gets even more bold than he is right now.

But it's like a demented game of some sort. He is trying to rationalize all his behaviors. And that's how he thinks he will get away with it all. But one thing he is overlooking is the impact on the world outside his strongest supporters when they actually see a cogent and clear itemization of all his crimes.

Unfortunately, he has escaped with everything he has done, he is shitting on the USA and the World and having a grant time at it.

I am so fed up of reading, listening to the hopeful sentiments and then an hour later the man-child/buffoon does something else compromising himself to be disregarded an hour later because another thing happened...it is a vicious cycle and until Democrats get serious about impeaching the bastard, this cycle will continue and get worst.

Anyone who has children has seen the picture, the child does something they shouldn't, he/she looks at you and you don't do anything about it, so he moves to the next step, and so on until you finally put your foot down. He is doing the same, he tests, gets away with it, and gets worst. We are all going to pay dearly if Democrats don't get a spine and get tougher, you have to fight bullies with force, you cannot give any space to a bully, at the end of the day all bullies are cowards.

And others have pointed out, the next Gulf war is coming.

Bolton has been itching for a war with Iran and Trump wants to be a generalissimo. It's a toxic combination. It is insane that the U.S. may take on a country of 81 million people.
