(1,587 posts)How likely is it that suddenly Walmart wanted to have Rachel Brand SO BADLY, specifically her and nobody else would do, that they would make her a job offer so sweet that she couldn't refuse it even with the future of the country at stake?
It's so weird.

Rosenstein and Mueller will get axed. The FBI continues this in their covert way. The Press starts getting heat and arrests commence. Suspension of the Bill of Rights become a reality. The revolution begins.
I know, great idea for a novel. This is a real possibility people.

(16,783 posts)And what will Congress do? Kiss Jr.'s ring and ass. This country is destroyed literally.
Our rights as we know them to be, become null and void. All money, property, etc., goes to the state. We own nothing, entitled to nothing. The Kochs, Wynns, Mercers, Waltons take over. Money talks if you have it. Our only hope is the revolution and military turning against the Trump family.
Scary scenario.

(6,262 posts)Suddenly the domestic abusers are being revealed. to the nation. Either by manipulating nudges by the likes of Lewandowski, or encouraging the abused ex-wives to become more open. They pissed off the FBI one too many times. The Feds knew they knew about this crap long ago, and patience has run out.
Not hard to predict the West Wing would tie itself in knots to support the abusers and make others wonder what do they have on ME as fellow staffers leave in droves.
Rachel Brand has found a safe spot to wait out the storm in a not overtly political place to be available for higher office or even perhaps the Supreme Court someday.
For the very first time, I feel "it" is coming soon. What will be the "it"?
Don't know, but I dearly hope it doesn't involve North Korea or the Olympics.

I think its too late for trump to fire Mueller, but I could be wrong and maybe one of the weekly predictions since May, 2017 of a bombshell Mueller firing will prove correct.
