Despite the hectic headlines over the past couple days, taking Trump down is not a given

[Le Gaucher]

That leech is here to stay for the next four years atleast.(If you think the house AND the Senate will vote with necessary majority to remove him from office - count me as a skeptic)

He may have broken the law - but proving it and taking action is going to be hard.

The best we can do is elect a majority on both chambers.

The reason Trump is president today is becsuse R's won the house in 2010 and used subpeona powers to carry out a bullshit witch hunt of Hillary Clinton 24x7 .. Sad to say they succeeded.

We must take back the house and pay them back with interest.

It is going to be a slow process .. But stay determined and focussed. Our time will come.

1. very true

no meaningful investigations will happen while the prisoners are in charge.

5. There literally is nothing that he can do that an R controlled congress will hold him accountable

It would be a MAJOR long shot just based on their being so far gone in regard to their us vs them mindset.

But, the roots of the russia issue alone (not to mention all the other graft) that pretty much every high level republican in congress is part of ...

2018 is really the last stand.

If this country does not hold the Rs accountable given how bad it will be at that point, its over.

2. Nothing is a given until

it's done.. is my motto.

3. Agreed

This is the age of instant gratification which I believe is driving some of the things we have seen in the last couple days (like Republicans are preparing for a Orrin Hatch presidency and there is a RICO indictment against the Republican party).

Much more likely we have a marathon, not a sprint on our hands.

6. We must take back the house and pay them back with interest.

How do we do we get the House and Senate back if Dems are massively voter-suppressed, voter-crosschecked, voter-purged and voter ID'd off of voting rolls like they were in WI, PA., MI., and N.C.? I mean in 2018, thuglicans will be on a quadruple dose of voter-suppression steroids and completely off the chain, courtesy of the GOP, beauregard, a tRumputin DOJ, and with help from his little friends the ruskies who per Clint Watts, are still meddling? What will the ruskies do for an encore at the behest of their president tRumputin in 2018, go directly into our already compromised mostly outdated optical voting machines and change D votes to R votes? TBH, I still don't know the entirety of how they meddled in our last GE, but they surely helped themselves. And, if fatso is not impeached or has to leave the presidency due to "medical" reasons after 4 years, we might as well make it 8 LONG AND DEPRESSING years and pretty much know it's game over for Dems/objectors and almost a permanent win for the treasonous thuglicans, because if they don't care about what ruskie interference is doing in tearing apart the fabric of our country apart, then they'll think absolutely nothing about once again stopping or severely limiting Dems and those who object to them from voting. thuglicans only need a few more State House wins to begin "working" on the Constitution by amending it into what the Koch Brothers want it to be.

We as the opposition are in for the roughest fight ever in this nation's history. We're in crisis mode with a mentally-deteriorating dictator, his henchmen the thuglicans & the hierarchy of russia in control of our country. I hate sounding helpless and feeling hopeless even worse, but I have no answers as to what we can do as of May 12th, 2017. Rethugs don't want any special prosecutors in the russiagate situation, plus they want their useful idiot in there so they can do as much dirt as possible without being stopped.

Rethugs=privilege, party and power over country.
