"Nobody wants to be the zebra that strays from the pack & gets gobbled up by the lion"


GOP consultant: calls situation “a disaster.”

Alexander and Burr may defect!

But the kicker; speculation that GOP Senate c/d move “in the snap of a finger” vs. him.

him for the good of the tribe. You know, like all you manly men are supposed to, remember? It's why you have always claimed superiority over women -- how you are so valuable for your strength that women need to be happy they are allowed to be second-class citizens in your presence?

But guess who is actually spearing the lion -- Maxine Waters. Who's afraid of nobody.

I was thinking yesterday it might take as long as the primaries for some republican senators to soeak up, but just realized it takes time to build enough money and organization to mount an effective primary challenge. There are also filing deadlines.

If could he smaller group that feels safer against challenges that breaks first. That moves the day way up. Maybe to early next year?

Besides being the right way to handle such a serious matter, having a few committees doing inquiries until some time in November keeps the evidence in the press. I’ve been wondering when the house would schedule an impeachment vote. Pelosi can always delay until after the Christmas break or hold members back. She must be gauging the politics in the senate and trying to time when the break happens.

In the time between now and end of year we need a constant stream of corruption exposed. Schiff and Pelosi seem to have mapped out a good schedule. At the same time trump and his minions are providing more fuel for impeachment and for public outrage.

Thanks for this post. Good start to the day.

go down with him.

Anyone with even basic observational skills and a bit of functional grey matter can see that Trump's a petty mean spirited narcissistic thug and as such he's not going to give up power and walk away anywhere near as peacefully as Nixon did. Trump's going to do all that he can to 'burn the house down' and take down as many as he can. If you have any survival instincts left in you than you should know that the more time you give him, the more time he has find and/or create enough crap to take you all down with him.
