And it will be the abrupt end of democracy in America.

Sent me spiralling.

I don't have concrete evidence for it, it's just the impression I get from her actions and her demeanor. I hope she doesn't do it before the votes on the Infrastructure and BBB bills, but she likes drama, so who knows?

like Manchin she has power and people kissing her ass. If she switches she'll be temporarily popular with the GOP but basically powerless.

He is ruthless and would do anything to get his majority back. He craves that power. He might have deals to work out for her after her term is over. I think she's done in politics, anyway, at least in Arizona. They hate her there now. She's looking for a nice place to land, and the Turtle has all the corporate connections to make that happen.

He would get her support until the end of her term, which if she doesn't run again and win, ends early 2025. That's 3+ years of a reliable puke toady, which she would be in return for the guarantee of big bucks for the rest of her life. Cheap for the remaining 666koch666 and his ilk.

And, once again: Howie Klein had her pegged years ago--called her crazy--I used to think he was exaggerating, but unfortunately events have proven him correct.

I remember he appeared on Bill Maher's show one evening and pretty much predicted January 6th. Another guest said he was overreacting. Unfortunately, so many of us still choose to cover our ears and bury our heads in the sand.

was when he said, he hoped that DOJ was investigating the insurrection. He didn't sound very positive when he said this. His reason for saying this was that time is of the essence. The GQP strategy is to run out the clock. A special prosecutor needs to be appointed by Garland just like Barr appointed Durham who is still trying to dig up dirt on the Bidens. Garland needs to do the same and put in guard rails that protect the prosecutor from being fired. Garland should have done this months ago. It is foolish for DOJ to wait for referrals from the select committee before it acts.

When will Steve Bannon face a trial - 5 months? 8 months? 1 year? 2 years?

The 2022 1st primary election is 126 days away.

One with the authority to complete the investigation, no matter who controls Congress or the White House. Absolutely agree with Malcolm Nance.

If my parents weren't still alive, I would be giving serious consideration to moving elsewhere before things get even worse.

I am so depressed here.

Similar to Yugoslavia, not like the USSR.

The garbage sown in 1980 by Reagan has finally begun to bear fruit.
