And Oligarchs everywhere will unite to make it happen.

Small comfort.

If the White House can ban Bolton's book, they'll ban all others too. Trump always says "failing NY Times" and complains about the Post. And Time won't put him on their cover, so they'll be circling the drain soon.

The USSR had Pravda. We'll be stuck with the National Enquirer.

Worse than:
the electoral college.
the fugitive slave act(cross references with the 'war on terror').
the "great compromises" of the pre-civil war era.
the not-so great-compromises of the reconstruction.
the enacted-repealed-reenacted-unrepealable tax so we can show our true colors in all the profitable wars.

All examples of long term "solutions" to hide short term problems.
Gut legislation for the fearful, designed by the powerful and approved by the stupid.

And don't forget:
the hugest military budget in the history of time vs the highest health care costs of all developed nations.

So where does one start cleaning up this mess? top to bottom? left to right?

I feel the same way. I have to flip channels when the pin head lawyer for Trump spews his lies.

Hopefully we can overcome the election fraud and vote the bastards out of office.

Hope all's well.

Especially, if you are in a red or purple area - use your landline if you have one. Call your Democratic Senator, too, and give them support in the impeachment fight to maintain our democratic separation of powers. Mention that dershowitz is fool out to excuse dictatorial presidential powers. Ask for documents and witnesses - that at least Bolton should testify.

Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121

And someone needs to drop the truth about MoscowMitch.

but more will be coming out every week over the next several months to the elections, and after.

on the foot.

When trump is crowned king he will not need any of the republican senators, at least most of them, why would he? He can do anything he wants, he doesn't need the votes, he doesn't need anything from them anymore so their use will be over and so their careers.

They don't seem to understand they are working against themselves as well.

So bye, bye, Miss American Pie
Drove the trial to the Senate but the Senate was blind
And them good ole boys were drinking Trump Kool-Aid
Singin' this'll be the day that freedom dies
This'll be the day that freedom dies.

"And what have we got, a Cuisinart?" Moscow Mitch triumphs only if we let him.
We see now that the Republican Party is now the party of oligarchs and wannabe dictators. They have rendered themselves inert. irrelevant and useless. But we still have the vote. That, they haven't taken away yet.
The objective is obvious and the mission clear: To purge every Republican out of office at every level and restore the rule of law.
It will take time and much effort, much as any reclamation and rehabilitation project would. But to surrender to hopelessness and helplessness is unacceptable and patently un American.
Every generation faces it's greatest test in the defense of the Republic. This is ours now and failure is not an option. Especially if the opponent is an overweight man-baby armed only with a Twitter account. This is not the might of the Wehrmacht nor the Warsaw Pact. Our outrage should be palpable and our energies focused.
We have a democracy to save.

while I was grocery shopping. I always leave my home radio on to keep the cat company while I'm out.

So the voice of Dershowitz greeted me when I opened my door on returning. I could not believe what I was hearing. The most insane "defense" argument in a mock trial full of insanity.

If a candidate believes he/she is the best person for the country (don't they all?), then any crime they commit toward winning an election is not really a crime.

What planet is Dershowitz from?

The scary part is that such a "defense," when accepted by Trumpers, means that any crime they commit in the name of supporting him is not really a crime. Rigging votes, beating up or threatening supporters of other candidates, threatening the lives of other candidates, and whatever else people do in aiding a coup is all justified by the belief that they alone are right.

it will be a full blown fecking dictatorship 😡
