Yes, in theory people of good will, Republicans and Democrats working together can try to right the ship of State.

But, you may have noticed that the GOP is currently feasting on their own. Remember when you were in school and they taught a basic economic fact which is as I remember : That bad money chases out good money. In other words, in a world where there is a lot of counterfeit money (remember the old $100 bills), people will hoard the good money and trade/use the bad money. The GOP is emulating the bad and chasing out the good.

Trump was identified as a threat to the nation when he was running for office, yet he won. The more he lied, the more he was embraced by the GOP. There came a point when he lied so much during his presidency, that I was waiting for him to ask the GOP to commit a 'Jim Jones' for him, and I believe that a significant portion would have. Not sure if it would have been a great loss with the exception of having to bury them.

The Russian news media identified Trump as their Asset and this was not readily identified in our Media, why not, I have no idea.

I think that Trump was a 'willing' asset for Putin, this includes his family (to include the Very Intelligent speaker of five languages wife; his semi-literate son, Jr; the wanna be the first female president daughter and her lying as he breaths husband; and the albino Eric). I think that the reason the GOP leadership is so enamored with Trump is that some of them are on Putin's payroll.

It is my sincere hope that the DOJ under Garland will introduce information on the real Trump, his backdoor communications and his history of money laundering for the Russia oligarchy. I suspect that there are members of the GOP leadership that are also part of this traitors den, and since the GOP regards their first loyalty to the party, none can tell the Truth. Sort of like our problem with policing - that the good cops can't reveal information on the bad cops, so they all share in the blame.

I think that's it telling that the only book that I remember being informed about that Trump has read (or at least holds near and dear to his heart) is 'My Struggle' better known as 'Mein Kampf'. A primer for a would be dictator and purveyor of hate.

I hope and pray (as much as one can) that Garland will not turn out to be a Mueller.

Yes, the whole GOP will one day return to normal, after they have been totally rejected and destroyed as a party. And, when the TRUTH of what they are is revealed for the world to see, and I hope that we as a nation are alive to see and enjoy the TRUTH.

There is reason for hope, people like YOU.
