Syria: Trump may have cracked the only wall that was protecting him, The Senate Republicans.

Syria was a major blunder by Trump and he may not be able to control it. He opened the door to genocide and put our national security at risk, he put our troops at risk. This could get much worse for Trump.

Many of the Republicans in the Senate may finally turn on him.

Senator's being exposed for taking Illegal Campaign Funds from the Rudy Tootie Gang. Syria is just icing on the cake.

Mondays late day talk shows will be going in the direction of Trump's Super Pac. Maddow threw the fishing line out last night.

Considering that there are so many actors will Trump be used to take the fall?

Learned from her days at Air America,she runs a story board of events and has ongoing stories for everyday of the week. Notice how she uses her feedback loop in planning her next Show.

Have to say,she seems to be light years ahead of any Talking Head on any Cable News or Network News operation.

And having been the lead Staffer on several Senate Staff's,he has a mega following of present day Senate Staffers.

It is the Staffers who really make things happen and appears Lawerence has a darn good info feed from those staffers.

One can tell the Pro's from the Schmoe's,and Cable TV as well as Network TV has more than their share of Schmoe's.

if that is what they have to do to avoid the wrath of the MENTALLY ILL RUMP supporters.

And, when our power grid goes down on election day and our vote count is impossible, we will learn then what some of us have been warning about.

Anyway, vote blue no matter who and ANYONE WHO wont agree to that HERE should NOT be here.

Even the Republicans -- to whom separating children from their parents is a big yawn -- don't want to be associated with the words "ethnic cleansing."

Then, when it comes time to acquit Trump, they'll say, "We're obviously not afraid to criticize the president, but there is no grounds for removal. Democrats are evil, blah, blah, blah. Get over it. The end."
