"Useful Idiots" ?

One of the Representatives, Ken Buck (R-CO) blamed Obama, and his Attorney General, for permitting the Russians to attack our election in 2016. He read a long list of countries where Russia had been involved in their elections, including the United States. He blamed the Democrats and John Reed and the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

But, it is very doubtful that Putin could have talked the Obama people into taking campaign info on his opponent, knowing or suspecting it was from Russia? The responsibility lies where it lies.

So, the argument about who is the "useful idiot" continues...

Oh, Man!

Lewandowski just threw Trump under the bus!

He agreed that the note he was to deliver to Jeff Sessions was dictated by Donald Trump.

The note was sworn testimony to the Mueller investigation.

They have turned over the first rock and it ain't pretty!

Why did Trump go to New Mexico??

I think the polls show him about thirty points behind?

So, what did he hope to accomplish?

What was the message he was trying to send?

Is he worried that Valerie Plame is going to kick his ass?

Did he want to try out the "gun issue" to see how people react? (Maybe it's not as big an issue as they had hoped?)

From what I heard of his speech, it was mostly just a bunch of rambling nonsense.

Questions to ask Corey Lewandowski?

1) What do you think of Donald Trump?

2) In your sworn testimony to Mueller team, you said that Donald Trump wanted AG Sessions to stop the Mueller investigation. Is that still your testimony today?

3) When was the last time you talked with anyone associated with the White House?

4) Do you believe anyone is above the law?

5) Do you consider yourself a patriotic American, Mr Lewandowski?

Donald Trump has built a much larger "wall" than the one imagined on our Mexican border...

It is an invisible "wall".

He has divided our country in such a way that people of different Parties can no longer communicate.

It has become impossible to touch these folks with facts or the truth. They are untouchables.

The "wall" has already been built and it is much larger than anything built with stone or wire.

They cannot be persuaded. They do not see you and they do not hear you. If you are not behind the "wall" with them, then you do not exist.

It has become impossible to break thru. Any attempt to communicate seems like a waste of breath anymore.

There is an alternate reality that does not coincide with truth and facts as we know them. It is a fake world behind the "wall".

If Democrats win House, Senate, and White House...?

Should they drop all present investigations and look toward the future?

Should they forget about the Russian involvement in our elections?

Should they forget about all the high crimes and misdemeanors of Donald Trump?

Should they forget about all those that defied subpoenas and refused to testify in front of the US Congress?

Should they forget about all the corruption and obstruction and complicity that we have seen in this Administration?

Or should they continue to investigate to get to the truth?

Should they continue to call witnesses that can no longer claim "executive privilege" and hold them accountable?

The inclination of Democrats is to always move forward. There is no use in looking back.

Of course, the Republicans never chose to move forward. They could not stop investigating Hillary's emails right up until the present. Just today, Donald Trump is calling for an investigation of Michelle and Barack Obama for their "book deal" and their "Netflix deal". That may be something for Democrats to remember once they are back in power.

Sun Tzu - Know your enemy

“Know the enemy and know yourself; in a hundred battles you will never be in peril. When you are ignorant of the enemy, but know yourself, your chances of winning or losing are equal. If ignorant both of your enemy and yourself, you are certain in every battle to be in peril.”

― Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Is Trump going to war?

Is he ready to put American lives on the line? Is it really in our national interest? Or is it in someone's personal interest?

The American people do not know. They were never told where our elected leaders were doing business? They could never retrieve the tax returns? They prefer to wander in the dark, it appears?

This seems like it should be a question that every American should be focusing on?

Is Lewandowski still scheduled to testify tomorrow?

Do you think he will show up?

If he does show up, do you think he will answer questions?

Will he tell the Committee the same story that he told Robert Mueller? That Donald Trump gave him directions on how Jeff Sessions should end the investigation? But that he never carried thru on any of them?

Or might he take the "Fifth"?

Any ideas?
