Fight, struggle, die (if necessary) ... but laying down and cowering in fear of what worse thing the GOP will do next is Vichy France level betrayal.

The GOP is evil to its core and has NO PROBLEM using any means necessary to achieve their aims. We cannot be the adults in the room any longer if we really want to captivate the American people.

Let me use an admittedly bad analogy....Rocky III.
The go-along / get-along / happy Rocky got rocked by Clubber Lang.
The ghetto-training / back-to-basics / street fighting Rocky came back and beat the shit out of Clubber in the rematch.

It's time to bring the thunder and damn the torpedos...FIGHT NOW.

No votes on justices.
No policies for consideration or debate.
No government business of ANY kind until the FULL, FAIR and COMPLETE DISCLOSURE OF ALL TRUMP-RUSSIAN CONNECTIONS ARE KNOWN.

Shut this motherfucker down and do nothing to help any Republican puke on anything until its done....and if that ultimately means burning the existing government to the ground and starting over from stratch, then so be it. This far and no farther, period.
