Moscow Mitch and the Gangsters of Putin fist-bumped over denying U.S. veterans essential health care stemming from their service;
Cadet Bonespurs became Caddy Bonespurs working for Murderous Bone Saw;
and Mockalito mocked the world.

that he is planning ahead, if he needs to bug out to a nation with no extradition it will be Saudi Arabia..........Putin sure as hell doesn't want him, he is no longer needed to play the Russian games. Evidently the Republicans feel he is no longer useful to them, same with Fox News also!!!!!!!!! He has become a detriment to all their plans, poor thing......He has made a life time of throwing former best buddies under the bus, I wonder how it feels to him to be abandoned by the people/nations he buddied up to........

We should pick Trump off right now so he can't divulge anything more to these other countries, than he already has these past five years. There are two locations for him SuperMax here in Colorado, or better yet GITMO.......

AND we should arrest all SS members on Trump's SS detail until they are vetted to proven be on one side or the other of this attempted COUP......
The SS members that are found to be fellow co-conspirators should join him in either of the above locations for further "interogation techniques" made famous during Abu Graibi.

Sorry, I am getting impatient with justice not being done.........

Next, arrest ANYONE AND EVERYONE that voices defense for Trump, including US Supreme Court Justices, and especially any and all U.S. Republican Senators for collusion in the attempted over throw of our legitimate Government. Something that should have been done the last four years.......

Let's pull a "reverse coup" on all their seditious asses. Purge the entire U.S. Government of Pro Republican Trumphumper members......

Mitch has to feel out the impact and how he can pull a another fast one.
Then the will all be out around the same time with the same messages.


I find it somewhat amusing if Mitch’s plan to let ‘The Crazies call all the shots’ causes the GOP to
lose both the House & the Senate AND have the traitors thrown out of office (with criminal charges) would be the largest fail in History!

And to add Abortion as the cherry on Top.

Rule: If I don't know about something, it doesn't exist.

Rule: Never give Democrats the benefit of the doubt, always assume bad intentions.

Rule: If only there was righteous pure leadership using the magic bully pulpit to "fight" and "take on" then everything would be fine, Republicans would be nice because of the force of moral purity.

Like my successful salesman dad always said:

“Late to bed,
Early to rise,
Work like hell
And ADVERTISE!”

If you do great stuff, you’ve GOT TO PROMOTE it!!!

If nobody knows, no one will care! Democrats: this is NOT humility time!!! DON’T be afraid to toot your own horn! And do it A LOT!!!

Although I do know (fairly) reasonable people that think we need more political parties. But as a practical matter - and with attention trained on today's toxic political stew - the idea strikes me as foolish at best, and tending toward a more corrosive aim of destruction. And do we really need any clearer illustration of rank folly - than that provided by recent history?

(There are true 'believers' out there - both left and right - that think that we need to burn it all down - presumably so we can all 'start afresh' - when the planet is a smoldering ember. I've always thought I'd prefer to take my chances - with the people that knew something about how to run a government.)
