Where there's smoke, there's fire. So how many other Republican politicians, or Trump's nominees, are also involved in colluding with Russia or the subsequent cover up?

The only ones he fooled were the so-called media and his suckers..




It was so heartbreaking.. it must have been awful to witness that heinous manipulation(which seems beyond theatrics) first hand..

in an effort to make Trumpy seem to be something he isn't. And banging the patriotic drum while doing it...It's a staple in the GOP's bag of tricks.

I use to painstakingly repost tweets from The Obama Diary and twitter feeds.. and now we can embed them!

I will soon.. my daughter's coming to visit from Portland, Ore and there's all kinds of prep work going on!

Now we need more fuel for the fire. It'll have to be a raging bonfire before the Republicans even admit to smelling smoke, though. They're so drunk on the power to push their own agendas forward, they have no interest in pursuing an investigation which might slow down or derail any of their plans.

anything to hasten their own demise? We need the people and whatever media that cares enough about our country.

They have health care to kill, people to burn, families to tear apart.. etc etc..



That's what makes me so mad at the media trying to pivot him last might.. we had some momentum going.. hopefully this revelation on sessions will get it back, herding.

Tonight they're every media outlet I follow was reporting the NYT and the WaPo stories. 24 hours from now who knows what they'll be onto. All we can hope for is we keep getting these infusion of journalism at regular enough intervals to keep chopping Trump off at the knees, and keep the people resisting.

We can't afford to have anyone waiver right now, the stakes are just too high.

As have a few other people like Adam Schiff. Franken probably already knew the answer when he asked Sessions the question.
