Just in: Senate Intel Chair Burr says
"no need 4 special cmte", even though #ComeyFiring makes it look like "something's being covered up."

The Dictator called @SenatorBurr this a.m.,
so let's not expect more than talk from Burr any time soon. Hmmm ... 45's worried, for sure.

(7,811 posts)Russia tells us that this is a deadly serious game having global reach. The deck is stacked against justice and democracy now...we are far down to the road toward global consolidation of power and wealth with self-preservation and self-enrichment the only goals, and we 99% are only just realizing it.
The only thing that will
work is nation wide strike.
Bring down the dollar.
We can fix things afterwards but we have to have something left to fix.
I not saying it will fun but it will better then what is coming.
The only thing that matters to these is their money.
We will not have any if something is not done.

(18,623 posts)The Republicans are in so deep that the next election they will have to collude with Russians and Putin to swing as many as possible. That's the only way they will survive. If Democrats take control many Republicans as well as Trump are likely to go to jail so they will be desperate. And there are so many more Dem seats up compared to Reps it will be hard to defend them all.
The USA is on the verge of collapse.
Yes it can happen here.

(1,588 posts)The killing off of people with Trump care is the start.
And all the other social programs.
Trump was a spy a long time ago.
Taking all that russian money.

(4,616 posts)The complicit Republicans own the Presidency, the Justice department, federal law enforcement agencies (FBI), the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court, 34 State legislative bodies, 33 governorships. They count the votes (recall Stalin's famous remark). Their overloads own 99% of the major media. I don't see how we elect ourselves out of this mess.
We've been frogs swimming around in a pot of warming water - its boiling now and will be exceedingly hard to jump out of.
Having said that, I stand my ground and make myself heard (although Barney Frank said not long ago, protest all you want, it doesn't make a difference - the political class only responds to those with the dollars to fill their campaign coffers).
These are truly dark times, easy to fall into despair. We need a bright light to emerge amongst us.

(18,623 posts)Any verdicts against Trump will be fought by the Republicans just as hard.
They could probably be tied up in courts for years so they wouldn't have any effect on the current situation.
