Nothing matters

Firing Sessions doesn't matter, firing mueller doesn't matter. Pardoning his friends and family doesn't matter. Pardoning himself doesn't matter. "Shooting someone on 5th avenue doesn't matter"

Republicans will stick with Trump no matter what because what really matters to them is their hateful agenda.

If the Democrats can learn anything from Trump, it's that you don't need to compromise or reach out. You can have bad approval ratings. If you have 35% (your base) of this country that is loyal and fired up, you can get them to vote and win elections.

The GOP is evil, greedy, sociopath and hypocritical. The torture methods used during the Spanish Inquisition is too lenient for these monsters.

People are going to do things they never imagined they were capable of doing when their family and friends start getting ill and dying. Unfortunately it'll be too late for many (myself included).

If any Dem President behaved like Trump, the Democrats in congress would be tripping all over themselves to impeach him or her. Democrats don't have it them to be as craven as their GOP counterparts.

Instead it's 35% conservatives and 26% liberals. That basic gap dictates everything.

It's like a college football team with superior manpower. They can use any offensive or defensive strategy they desire. Margin for error everywhere.
