When the full extent of Trump's relationship with Russia is revealed,

it will shock the United States to its core, I believe. We're seeing the story unfold slowly, but inexorably. Bit by bit, we discover more evidence that PINO Trump is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putin's Russian government. We can't yet see the depth of that ownership, but we're beginning to pull back the covering lies from all four corners of this tray of deceit and corruption.

We need to microwave the Trump package on High for an initial heating, and then tear the cover off completely, stir thoroughly and heat it up again until its internal temperature reaches the boiling point. Then, it will be finally done.

However, we won't want to consume the contents of that tray. It's toxic. The contents are contaminated and dangerous. We need to put it in the garbage can under the sink and take it out immediately to the trash bin. We need to rid ourselves of the entire contents of the freezer. We need a nationwide recall on all products from that company.

Then, we'll need to air out the entire house to get rid of the foul odor.

That is why it is so important to LINK what the Russian interference and the GOP have done to hurt them and their loved ones. The outcome and results of the Russian interference and Trump's deference to them do not happen in a vacuum. Everything is linked but the base has not been shown exactly how it links to their own concerns right now. Simple point to make, had HRC been elected they would not be faced with losing their healthcare right now.

Not one damn. They are unreachable. Instead, we need to focus on those who have at least enough grasp on reality to listen. Trump's and the Republicans' base can rot in Hell, as far as I am concerned. Any effort expended on them is a complete waste of time.

Specifically:

They are unreachable.

Anyone who can defend the indefensible, allow the wolves through the door and cheer the annihilators is worth neither our time nor energy. Too many in the GOP sold their souls for cash, for winning, for whatever. Supporters have left their minds and integrity behind. This was never a movement, it was and is a cult of the Jonestown variety.

They are not reachable nor are they worth reaching.

We need to focus on one thing and one thing only: the 2018 elections to throw the compromised and insane out our Houses of Government.

We need to fight and defang the madness. Before the madness destroys us all.

some people have the room in their heads to believe Trump-Russia collusion. No matter the evidence.

It seems too far-fetched for some people.

Scary, ain't it?

As we witness the absurdities swirling around the White House on a daily basis, its staff of un elected pseudo officials and those in the GOP who walk in lock step with this poor excuse of an administration, keep in mind that Mueller has assembled a crew of known, proven, and respected lawyers for the purpose of uncovering the truth, whether we agree with the outcome or not. Unfortunately, the wheels of justice move slowly. Give Mueller and crew the time to do their work so that if we do have to face the national dilemma of removing this presidunce from office, it can be done without riots in the streets. This issue is much too big to have a simple solution and must be done right the first time.

He needs to be impeached, removed from office, and then he needs to be prosecuted when he is not President.

Everyone who enabled this Russian operation should be fully prosecuted and be barred from holding federal office again.

A serious example needs to be set for those considering this level of treason again. Republicans have gotten away with corruption for so long that they literally believe they are immune to consequences so long as they are in power.
