So. It's The Friday Night Massacre

[berni_mccoy]

Trump has fired Vindman, Sondland and Vindman’s brother (collateral damage) and will likely oust anyone who testified to in the Congressional Hearings that got him impeached.

He has accused Speaker Pelosi of breaking the law. No doubt, he will seek to open actual investigations on the Speaker, Rep. Schiff and others in the House that brought his Impeachment to reality.

He will pursue Criminal Charges against Bolton because he can and more than anything he wants that book never to see the light of day. No doubt, they will threaten Bolton first, and if he continues to pursue publishing it, I have no doubt he will charge Bolton with a Crime.

He will continue to investigate the Bidens, not because Biden might be the nominee, but because he has to prove that they did something wrong to bring some sort of self-vindication to reality.

And there is no doubt in my mind that Trump will use his power to manufacture a criminal investigation in late September or early October of whoever the Democratic Nominee is. And they will manufacture evidence if they have to to ensure it looks real.

This seems dark. That’s because America is indeed in a very dark place.

Trump will do these things for one very simple reason. Because he can and no one dares to stop him.

1. The media...reporters, journalists, etc. are posting under #purge.

2. Friday (you're) FIRED! Sale

[leftieNanner]

3. Dark indeed

But if Simon and Schuster already has Bolton's manuscript, maybe they will go ahead and release it!

Let's see what Moscow Mitch does after this.

10. One can only hope...nt

[Zolorp]

4. Be careful

I had a post hidden for suggesting this.

5. Such VINDICTIVENESS is who Trump and the Republicans are.....

Truth, Honor, Doing the RIGHT thing, and the RULE OF LAW, are attributes of the Democrats. Stress that.

[Cousin Dupree]

6. The republicons gave him carte blanche to do whatever he wants. He's scaring the shit out of me.

There will be no limits to what he will do now, not that there were many before.

14. We are watching full blown fascism bloom in front of our eyes, the Night of the Long Knives

or as someone named it on DU tonight, the Night of the Long Tweets

[malaise]

7. And yet

He is still IMPOTUS

[backtoblue]

8. It's far too dark my dear

When I finally thaw in truth's illumination
Will the darkness recover my soul, or will the light be waiting with her lovely wings?

9. The mad king

is showing us how mad he is.

[2naSalit]

11. +1

He will now attempt to replace all positions with his KKKlan members.

[bdamomma]

12. That's if

he wants to replace, he wants to be the only chosen one.

13. Valid point! ...nt

15. Just remember this, fellow DUers,

The pendulum ALWAYS swings back. Yes, it may have a long way to go this time, but history proves that this is true.

16. Your words to God's ear

This is why I always enjoy Cheeto's tweets: because every time he does so, he convinces more and more swing voters to swing the hell away from him.

22. Some things from the past never happen again.

[tavernier]

17. Heard he just fired head of EPA.

He worked too closely with Democrats.

[ancianita]

18. I see it as Friday. Over 237 appointees have resigned or forced from FI45's WH since he took

possession.

For me it's been dark since 2016. Throughout the West, our allies have seen our lights go out.

Criminal investigations will be the new misuse of law, the new neonazi normal.

The banality of evil needs to keep busy. Read anything by Hannah Arendt, and most recently and relevantly, Timothy Snyder's The Road To Unfreedom(2018) which explains not just what Russia and its Putin Group have done to the West, Ukraine and Eastern Europe, but done to their own Russian identity and approaches to Truth to justify all that activity.

19. this is what my Greek friend warns me of

he experienced the coup in Greece in 70's and he believes endless investigations will opened on any Democratic challenger, so that even when elected fatnixon will
oppose them taking office while under investigation rendering election null
☹️

21. A Romanian friend who survived Ceaucesescu said something similar to me.

All the more reason to listen to our Eastern European allies, who see human rights being overtaken by hegemonic financiers of power, that see humans as no more than the animals and environments they dominate.

We will see loyalist tools of harassment, from Gym Jordan in the Judiciary Committee to Barr in the DOJ to voter suppressions across the country. Because "free will" and reality are now seen as malleable.
