Notice how very quiet the others in government are right now...

No Trey Gowdy hearings or threats of hearings...
No Paul Ryan on the steps of some building with a crowd behind him...
No McTurtle giving a speech...
Not even McCain making a statement...

In fact, we're not even hearing from the Democrats...

Congress out of session is no excuse. I'll bet there are a bunch of phone calls and texts behind the scenes over Trump - indictment, impeachment, or investigation?? Who is going down? Will Sally Yates or Comey come with the "truth"? Will the leaks grow louder and the FBI raids continue? How many GOPers are also in bed with the Ruskies? Everyone is planning their strategy for whenever the *&(^ hits the fan.

The only question is how long the charade continues - but 2017 will be historic.

How long will Trump last? A month? A year? I think a lot of people know that Trump's days are over. The forecast is rain, and the only thing we don't know is the exact time it starts, but the clouds are on the radar and the rain is coming.

I think even the Republicans are stunned by this. Finally something that gets through their thick skin of self-interest.

It will continue until Rupert Murdoch wants it to finish. Right now, things could hardly be better for ratings.

Paul Ryan crossed Trump on the first ACA repeal attempt, and was eviscerated the next day on Fox. Suddenly, he changed his tune. With its grip on the right wing US voter, Fox has the ability to politically crush anyone who displeases Rupert Murdoch, and there appear to be few US Senators or Representatives with the spine to stand up for what is right for America.

Interestingly, both Prett Bharara and Comey were also in the middle of investigating Fox - not sure about Yates, but would not be surprised.

How much more damage will he do before he is gone. Will he push the button On North Korea, finish destroying our NATO alliance?
