I think it will be a bloodbath next year---for the republicans! People I know who have never paid attention to politics are watching all this drama unfold, popcorn in hand, and promising to vote next year. Hell, in some cases, they're more on top of the news than I am (I've had to force myself to take some breaks from all the madness).

Seeing that grinning fool, tRump, in the Oval Office with the Russians and no American news represented was just a big middle finger, FU, to the American people. The fact that the Russians were even THERE was an insult to every American citizen. He is going down and I hope he lands hard on his ass. Then gets frog marched off to await trial (no bond) for treason and anything else they find.

I am fuming mad tonight and my husband still insists that the Repubs won't do anything about this treasonous bastard in the people's house. I think once things get rolling (and it appears the dam has busted and things are starting to happen quickly), they will go after their own self interests, even if they have to turn on tRump. We can only hope.

And Lavrov did it with Tillerson standing right there not saying a word. Trump is not the only Russian cock hammock in that administration.

The russians probably can't stand him any more than we do , which makes this display so pathetic. They know he's a weakling,If he tried to run off to Russia, they wouldn't have him-it would be an admission of their guilt.They want the sanctions lifted, but will take the disruption and what they hope to be chaos as a consolation prize. Trump has outlived his purpose (unless they do take him in and use him as a rallying call to the deplorables - Trump as martyr (ala Snowden),nyah, Trump is to much drama queen.They can manipulate the Trumpsters just as easily with Trump in prison.).

I'm sure todays oval off. meeting will open some eyes.
