Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsAfter listening to Rachel, I feel like crawling into a hole---but I damn sure won't.
In a nutshell, what I gathered is that the dark side is mostly succeeding in taking over our government. Sessions to be soon fired and then Mueller and then the Nazi bastards and the GOP eunuchs who enable them will solidify control over the world's largest plutocracy. Limbaugh's dream of "hunting down liberals with dogs" may come true.
I will not go quietly.

For the first time I'm really concerned. I am very very pissed and wish I owned a punching bag.

(16,791 posts)As We all must tie ALL Republicans running for office with the corruption of Trump, the crime of coverup regarding obstruction of justice, supressing the vote, and more.
My voice will remain loud and I will die trying to keep this country free to all.
I will attend rallies when I can. I will challenge all candidates runnjng for office to adhere to the law and Constitution, write letters to the editor of my local paper, respond to blogs, and more. Who is with me? I cannot do this alone.

(15,149 posts)after Rachel about - "So what country to we move to?" And then after we listed a few - we looked at each other and almost simultaneously said - "Or do we stay and fight?". For now, the Stay and Fight wins over the Move to Portugal.
Rachel's show was very depressing, but the fuckers can't win. We can't let them!
Resist!

(61,698 posts)They are rigging everything to cheat their way through the investigations and hang crap on the Clintons. There is no honor or decency among any of the Rs today. They really don't care that the US is being turned into a plutocracy or worse.

(14,565 posts)Specifics mean nothing. For all full year we've been treated to Rachel broadcasts loaded with specifics. H20 Man routinely posts threads here weaving specifics with historical reference points.
I'll continue to insist none of it matters. You can't evaluate any of this based on 1974 without fooling yourself and anyone who pays attention to you.
Big picture prevails. Trump is a life long liar and cheat. That's not 30 years of doing it, where he would still be prone to mistakes and misjudging the terrain. It's more than 70 years of low life cheating. It happens to now coincide with a Republican Party determined to cheat in terms of whose votes get counted, and everywhere else. They are currently breaking rules that we don't know the existence of. When he supposedly disbanded the voter fraud commission a few days ago it was obviously merely redirected to friendlier terrain in Homeland Security. The presidency is not designed to foil someone with ethics of this type while his equally ruthless party controls matters. If any Republican testified under oath nowadays, would that oath mean anything at all? It's just exercise of that right arm and hand.
He will get away with everything. Our focus should be to register as many young voters as possible. Right now it's avalanche territory in terms of how those registrations would fall. It will have significance in forthcoming decades, to prevent another Trump.

(51 posts)The minute I learned of the Watergate break-in I knew Nixon was involved and instantly became a Democrat. I watched the hearings between classes in college. After Viet Nam, and then Watergate, I thought my generation learned a valuable lesson. I was so wrong.
I am absolutely livid with my generation for letting this happen. I am thoroughly disgusted with the Republican congress for supporting this attack on our country. They all know Trump is an impulsive, ignorant, and a narcissistic sociopath. They have witnessed it. Yet, what are they doing, giving their party and agenda priority over our country and constitution, allowing this nonsense to continue and protecting him. The proper term for the GOP's behavior - Treason.
History has not been kind to Nixon. If we make it through this, history will be absolutely brutal on all those that enabled this disaster. And, if the Democrats do very well in November we can all say, payback is a bitch.

(5,072 posts)A lot of what is in the Declaration seems to be relevant right now. The Framers complained of the undue influence of the East India Company over the British government. I am reminded of the words spoken by Col. Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Colin Powell; he mentions that one of the possibilities is for the United States to disband into a smaller group, using the withdrawal of California as an example.

(6,254 posts)these bastards are going to get their ass kicked by Mueller or by an outraged nation who will drive these maggots to the sea and drown them. We will have satisfaction. Whoever thought Obama would follow Bush? A furious response is building throughout the country and people are excited and motivated to vote. We are going to squash this administration and leave Trump powerless or Mueller will take him out. One way or another, Republicans are in for a reckoning the likes of which we have never experienced before. Millions of good decent Americans want their country back. America is better than Trump and the republican hoard of marauding blood suckers and relief is around the corner. And if Mueller is stiffed than Schneiderman will take his place. Cheer up better days are coming!!

(65,180 posts)Trump is unstable, and the Republican Party as a whole has no respect for democracy. It's a dangerous combo, and we must be ever watchful. I hope our Democratic leaders grasp how serious this is.
