I'm going to avoid all political stories for 1 week. I have to go cold turkey.

I need the perspective.

at the speed that shit is breaking, it is just as terrifying to think of what may be missed....

insane times we are living in!

will be to see if some of the news is so big that it leaks through anyway. I am pretty sure I will be unable to make a whole week without something major happening that I can't not hear about. It is so dark and seems so hopeless right now, I need to gather my strength.

But I also feel that a much greater storm is coming and that is what I need perspective and strength for.

So there's that

Hopefully we truly are in the eye of the Russia Storm ...
Although the Russia related winds have seemingly calmed.. it is likely that the IC is quietly putting all of the pieces together ....
Not only do they have their own FISA authorized surveillance data... but there are several other countries that have been gathering trump/Russia relevant intel from their various operations -- in order to share it with our IC ...

The common theme in comments from those who have been briefed or have direct ties to IC info. Seems to be "we have to be sure we do this right"..

Obviously Flynn is the smallest fish on the menu...

There will only be one shot to make it through the other side of the storm....
Ideally, liberty will prevail....
and the trumpanzee clowns will go straight to jail... otherwise we are pretty much screwed.

And you just cannot reason these people, it is very frightening.

Peace

frightening.

pay attention to the organ grinder.

tRump is the 'oh, look, shiny!!!' distraction while his 'staff' writes Executive Orders for him to sign without reading , Congress slips through abysmal legislation, and the department heads he appoints destroy those departments.

himself with a couple thousand screaming, cheering fans, then he gets to go home, look in the mirror, and tell himself that "the American people LOVE me! They can't get enough of me." He will write off the protests and the "lying media" to Hillary Clinton. This will massage that fragile, pathetic little ego for another week or 10 days, then he'll have to do it again to convince himself that "everybody loves me."

I just can't help thinking how much it must suck to be him. Seriously. To have everything he has and still be so insecure and feeling so inferior that he's got to prop up his ego on such a regular basis. Wow.

And I have a feeling that Mike & the missus are sneaking into the WH every weekend to measure the drapes while 45* is playing golf. After what Pence said to the Ukranian President, I think he suspects that he'll be 46 sooner rather than later.
