Do you think Trump will get away with it? [View all]


With each day , I feel we are getting closer to a dystopian society.. Where we will be like district 13 in hunger games.

Trump feels confident in subverting the truth.. Mueller can investigate all he wants ...Trump cant be touched and he will pardon everyone else. Mueller cant do jack shit if Trump has Congress on his side. All talk of NY attorney general going after Trump isnt serious.

He has already started campaining for 2018.

Trump loves to campaign. Its a lot more fun than governing. Expect him to unleash a torrent of hatred and nastiness .. He will continue his successful strategy of Divide and Conquer.. Which coupled with the systemic advantage that Republicans have in terms of districting and an Improving economy (thanks Obama) may be sufficient for Republicans to keep the house and senate.

Trump is about get away with collusion and possibly money laundering /Tax evasion. Republicans dont mind any of this as long as it help them stay in power.

Dark days indeed.
