approaching sh*t storm of public hearings followed by a public impeachment procedure. So they are trying anything they can think of to slow the avalanche of devastating testimony. Even tRump knows that once that mudslide runs over him he won’t be able to BS his way much longer. If he knew history (and there is no evidence he does), he’d know the final nail in Nixon’s coffin was the very public testimony about his (and other’s) misdeeds and crimes. His base can only take so much before the weight of the evidence causes them to break with their hero. Of course, some will stay to the bitter end, just as they did with Nixon. But the solid core will dissolve.

tRump is literally between a rock and a hard place. There are no good solutions that will allow him to escape what is coming to him. And that doesn’t even factor in the pressures he faces from Putin. He knows (or should know) that once Putin no longer needs him — the future looks grim for a guy like tRump who knows too much.

So more erratic behavior and outrageous hyperbole is to be expected from tRump. He is quite literally a cornered viper. In other words, we will see more of the same behavior until he is hounded out of office or legally removed by impeachment.

Hasten the day we are rid of him. The future of the USA truly is at stake. And remember: we are eye witness to probably the biggest scandal ever to hit this nation in its entire history.
