Prepare for disappointment

[Bobstandard]

Mueller’s report goes clunk. Manafort and Flynn got off. Cosby walks. We sigh. We listen to Rachel and her panels talk on about what could be coming next. Don’t worry, there is supersceeding stuff that could happen to make this mess right. hope burns eternal

But what if none of those carrots we hold out in front of ourselves don’t deliver the comeuppance we hope for. What if the Trump Org indictments deliver less than we hope? What if all these initiatives drag on to the mid terms, one disappointment after another until gerrymandering voters rights occluding Republicans retake the House and Senate (and they will unless we see some real progress somewhere).

Prepare yourself. That is the likely scenario.

We talk here about fighting like Republicans do.

Prepare yourself to do that on the street level. Prepare yourself to be the Antifa that Republicans talk about and fear but that we are not actually-yet.

5. No shit.

Until I see some cell doors slamming shut on tRump crime family members, it's just another giant anticipointment Fitzmas.

People seem to have forgotten that Fitzmas came about because the obstruction was so successful that the obstructor was the only one to be charged and convicted.

The lying criminal Bush bastard then commuted Libby's sentence, and MF45 pardoned him.

These rightwing criminals know how to get away with their crimes.

6. The Trump Org. and Weisselberg

indictments are all going according to plan. We will know more tomorrow before throwing in the towel. If Weisselberg and his kids are going to do serious jail time, he will flip on Trump. If he doesn't Trump will throw him under the bus.

I have faith in Pomerantz, glad Vance brought him on board, he is a bull dog.

8. Kaiser Wilhelm

ended his days in a comfy little chateau in the Netherlands after being chiefly responsible for World War I.

He should have gotten 23 years in the electric chair.

11. Me too. But it needs to be said

Let’s check back with each other tomorrow after the indictments drop. You can talk me down. And explain why optimism alone will save us if that’s your solution
