The Trump/Republican Coup will continue this week

Trump is a cancer on America and it will metastasize this week as he will get his pick
Neil Gorsuch for SCOTUS even though he became President with the help of Russia,
voter suppression of African Americans, and that the prior legally elected President Barack
Obama, was blocked from his Constitutionally granted right of getting to pick a candidate
for justice on the Supreme Court out of the bald faced un-American actions of Mitch
McConnell and company.

.... he would have a new person to choose from after the election? Even if and when
Trump is thrown out because of his Russian ties Gorsuch will stay on the court for
years. Our country is reeling from bush v Gore and Citizen's United and more such
awful rulings will come with Gorsuch in place.

there is no way I will ever be convinced that the result of this farce of an election was legit.

They cheated and they suppressed votes and our side STILL nearly won...did win more votes, but in the "wrong" places, so their suppression effort succeeded to our detriment.

is that I don't think there is fuck all we can do about it.

They are the ones in charge of the investigations, they are the ones who can just shut it down.

They are already allowing corruption on an epic scale and it isn't even hidden. It is out in the open.

In the end, they may simply say "Yeah, Russia got us elected...but you know what? We don't care because we're in charge here".

The rule of law is dead.

And the White House and some of the Republicans are owned by Russia too.

And if Gorsuch gets on the SCOTUS what will happen if the case of Trump and
his Russian connections gets to the Court?

And now it turns out that Russia was feeding lies to Trump's base in order to get
them pissed off @ Hillary and the democrats. This election was way dirty.
