Just read thru this entire thing, I know I posted some initial commentary on (lb)
Just read the whole thing if you can stomach it.
THEN, grab a drink and read the comments.
This is what we are up against.
Here's a doozy, hope you have some alcohol to get thru it.
"Trump, with the passive acquiescence of the Republican party, is hell bent on creating a police state in this country and had the Democrats not recaptured the House, Trump would have had a carte blanche to prosecute Clinton, Comey, and anyone else he loathes and fears. Once Trump dispatches Kelly and Mattis (and that day is coming) he will surround himself with a band of willing executioners who will provide aid and cover for the most corrupt president in American history. As the Mueller investigation intensifies I expect that Trump will reach a point of desperation and direct Whitaker to fire Mueller and then depend on the Republican senate to save him once the House Democrats impeach him. But Mueller should eschew the impeachment path in favor of indictment. That way the McConnell controlled Senate can't save him. Trump has absolutely zero appreciation or comprehension of the workings of our democratic republic. His goal is to be king and for the sake of our future, his express train to autocracy must be derailed. Just imagine if, after the 2008 election, Obama attempted to prosecute McCain. The Republicans would have gone ballistic and immediately proceeded with impeachment. There cannot be a different standard for Trump."
