and says what we're all thinking. The facts are 180 degrees from what this WH, tRump, Sessions, Flynn, Manafort, Pence, et al. have said to date.

BOOM! Too hard to ignore where Mueller is heading now.

Especially for the stupid. Loose lips sink ships. Or in GOP's case, loose lips expose conspiracies. If all this shit wasn't so evil and frightening it would be damn funny. Come to think of it, it is damn funny anyway. White house strategy should have been: George, fetch the coffee and keep your mouth shut.

They did what the Feds do best ... let the Big Fish run so they could gather more information about what they were up to. Until the scope of illegality makes itself known, they would be premature to nip it in the bud.

Obama told us right after the election that interference in our elections, if any, would be answered 'at a time and place of our choosing'. He knew. All along.

People are comparing trump to Nixon, in a way they both need/ed impeachment. But here’s the caveat- during the Nixon era the republicans were the ones who told him it was time to go. With trump the republicans have chosen MANA over COUNTRY they know all the bad things they do and, are doing, trump gets the blame. Also they understand that their MASTERS will not pay their BRIBES if they go against their boy. Many republicans also understand that with GERRYMANDERING and IGNORANT constituents they will get re-elected. Also back in the day the “rich” needed us as their slave laborers. Now their products are made over seas and under the REPUBLICAN TAX BILL their products won’t be charged for coming back. And those companies who are still here and want to move overseas they now can because now we pay to move their company/money. All these people who blamed “the unions”, for companies moving overseas, never complained about the skyrocketing prices of overseas products. If the companies moved because wages and benefits were too high then why didn’t the cost of th products plummet when they were paying their “new employees” $1 (if they were lucky) a day. Where did all the money go? Into the pockets of those people who are now telling you what is good for you...

The Republicans have to live and die by their Donors who tell them "Full Sped Ahead" with every give-a-way to the rich while you can scheme. The Big Money influence has a lock on our government and will use the MSM to manipulate enough of us to serve their ends.

Until we address their ability to buy our politicians and program a large percentage of our population we will continue to be victimized!
