Let me tell you how this will go down. [View all]

The media seem giddy and the republicans are as happy as pigs in shit regarding the build up for war with Iran. The media with their Breaking News flashes treat possible war like it's no big deal that kids will be killed and the possibility of other lives lost. The Republicans of course love war and the military war complex who fund campaigns and boost their stock portfolio. So while trump makes aggressive moves against Iran it won't be long now. Meanwhile the Democratic party allows trump and McConnell to move along meerly along disregarding the law as they see fit. No impeachment hearings, no Mueller testimony etc. Wait until we have a solid case against trump before we move forward. If they cannot put together a case for at least starting impeachment hearings and start issuing subpoenas after 3 years of law breaking in more ways than can be counted then when will they? The war will begin , everyone will forget Mueller and whatever else and off we go to a wartime president going into 2020. I hope I'm wrong but I've seen this movie many times before. Time and patience is not our friend this time.
