I sure wish I knew what Maxine Waters knows.

She seems so certain Trump is going to get his due, as in I-M-P-E-A-C-H-M-E-N-T.

Every time I see her on tv she says the republicans will turn against him because they're patriots.

1. I'm not so sure that Repubs are all that patriotic...

Their actions over the last few years indicates otherwise to me. Far too many of them are selfish assholes who put their own personal well being over the good of the country.

3. If the repubbies turn on him at all,

it will not be because they are patriots. They will be trying to save themselves and their careers.

If this does turn out to be anything, I hope the net is cast widely enough to catch Pence, Ryan, The Turtle, President Bannon and a few others. I hope it catches trump's icky family as well.

5. I'm afraid you are likely correct

That said, I'd take it.

2. A few weeks ago, when she came out of a meeting she looked so

disgusted. It seems the Democratic Congress members who know something are keeping it pretty quiet. What happened at Friday afternoon's meeting? It's has to be some really bad news (for Trump).

4. Same here

Republicans have a demented and distorted idea on patriotism. I want to believe good will prevail. I have to hang on to hope, but it is challenging for sure.

6. There are times when no one is served by secrecy

This is one of those times.

If they came right out with it, even the co conspirators like McConnell would be forced into removing him from office. Right now, they're relying on behind the scenes arm twisting. This is probably going to take months, if not years.

7. brilliant set up, imho.

they will turn on him because they are patriots.
and if they dont?

[PdxSean]

8. Meh.

Could have been indigestion. Whatever it was, nothing has come of it. Great theater, though. Kind of like when democrats did a sit-in for gun control. It was their way of saying it was the best they could do.
