9. Dictatorship is pushing top-down with its GOP Senate collaborators
Sun Jan 26, 2020, 11:33 AM
Jan 2020

while the Rule of Law, what remains of the executive branch patriots in the Intelligence Community, the resistance, and a majority of Americans continue to resist the crooks' medicine.

I fear this standoff will remain much unchanged until Election Day 2020, or even afterwards if we fail to deliver a convincing defeat to these miscreants.

Complicating matters is the foreign help Trump is receiving. I suspect this is much of what the US was doing in post-War Eastern Europe when we promoted democratic elections in Soviet satellite nations - Poland, Czechoslovakia, and a host of others. Putin knows his history well.

Patriots here at home must apply themselves to every inch of ground they can gain. I think talking with people - even MAGAts who are a bit bewildered at this point - is a productive use of time. Don't hold back.
