How the hell are they more funded.

What if Trump did

not collude with Russian, obstruct justice, cheat on wife, etc and he turned out to be just a rich conservative republican acting like a rich conservative republican.

If that were the case,
Would it really make a difference?

Would it not still be unacceptable for all democrats to have a conservative republican enacting policies that are counter democratic values?

Would it really matter if he is not charged with anything at all. He'd still be there and appearently negative media attention and protests do not cause him to alter course.

I personally feel the diverance is in policies and should be the real focus. I don't like thinking that the only support we can get at the poles are reliant on the chance that enough people hate our opponent.

What next?

If meuller shrugs and the investigation is closed what is the next line of defense, election?

Really what else is there?
Obviously his policies are something to confront.
But, is the hopes of a blue wave all that remains?

I mean even if republicans lose control of congress, what could democrats do that would survive a veto. I don't think there is any doubt that Trump will veto his way through the rest of his term.

Anyway,
What Next vIf Meuller is unable to produce a real shot at impeachment.

Hidden in the CR - Piles of cash

https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/22/politics/intelligence-spending-bill-senate-committee-appropriations/index.html


Apparently it removes oversight and allows for even more undisclosed black ops. Which just sounds like a blank check for an endless pile of cash.....

Starting to feel like DACA was a decoy........
I wonder what else got in under the radar.....

Wow, please pay attention to

the man behind the curtain and be memorized by the all encompassing shut down coverage. Fight, fight, fight....

But don' t be surprised when the 2018 midterms find missing votes that were not cast for fear of being prosecuted and deported if they do not meet their definition of legal resident. Also, they could arrest, charge and convict those who tried to protect them from prosecution and deportation.

Without the restraint of DACA to protect dreamers and their families, fear will cause many legal voters to avoid casting a ballot.

Also, Trump and the republican controlled congress will have the legal authority to raid state election offices and political party headquarters in a nation wide sweep to capture and deport.

State, county and city officials could be arrested, removed from office and jailed for protecting "criminals". Imagine the republicans and Trump turning the states of their political adversaries into occupied territories. Kind of hard to execute a national campaign while your rebuilding organizations all over the country.

I think too much attention is being focused on the surface while the perception of stupidity and incompetence is providing the cover needed to catch you off guard. 2018 is not going to be blue wave if that wave is deported, arrested, jailed and afraid to go to the polls.

Now if you think republicans want to bar immigrants from coming to America, you are too near sighted to win this battle. The truth likely resembles a swap, your immigrants for their own. They don't want to stop mexicans from voting, just stop them for voting democrat.

Trump and the republicans have controll and are becoming bolder. It doesn't matter if anyone believes the media reports of a growing economy and jobs. They themselves believe they are getting good results. With that in mind, they will use their perception of success to tread more boldly.

If you don't regroup, start playing like your behind and still needing to win more hearts and minds , you will miss the opportunity to gain ground and recapture control.

The new tax scheme is a calculated offensive designed to delay pain just long enough to sway voters away from the. Party. Many of the moves Trump and republicans have made are intended to separate blue collar democrats from the democratic party. I have a co-worker who lost a lot of 401k gains during 9/11, Afghanistan, Iraq , the 08 economic collapse...... He doesn't like Trump but he does like his 401k gains. He's having mixed emotions regarding the next election. The thought of democratic voters willfully skipping elections or even voting for another party is not a concern of republicans and if you are not concerned about losing them now, it will be too late for tears later....

If you have any trouble digesting what I have said,
I can sum it up for you in one sweet sentence.

If you think your opponent is sleeping, your dreaming.
Wake up!

Hello

I'm going to apologise it advance. Having read many posts and replies, i know i can respect and get along with just about everyone here even though it's apparent we will often disagree.

It's not who you voted for, it's being able to respect yourself the day after.
