David Corn: Why the Sally Yates Hearing Was Very Bad News for the Trump White House

[Texin]

43. Alright. So it's been brought before open Congress hearings.

I wish I believed that anything of consequence to these bastards would happen, but I simply can't. As others noted, the rethugs are circling the wagons and using every excuse in the book to protect the orange abomination. They will continue to do so until it's unequivocally proven that the voting public has turned away from them and won't vote for them. Until they face consequences at the polls, there won't be anything undertaken to do the right thing, i.e., remove this imposter and Russian kompromat from office.

They are working fast and furiously to cram down the most draconian right agenda throughout the country right now, which includes making it harder and harder for minorities to vote. That is their first and foremost goal - absent their single-minded lemming-like march toward yet more and more massive tax cuts for all their crony capitalist friends and member of the Billionaire Boys Club. That's all they care about; that, and their Depression Era hard-on against the New Deal and the social safety nets implemented thereafter.

The only way that this bastard and his entire Goldman Sachs cabinet and the other useful idiots and cronies helming key cabinet posts is for tRump to do something (or not take important action to prevent) a human or military catastrophe in the very near term. I think we will have to have something like a 2017 version of 911 that is incontrovertibly the fault and responsibility of this so-called POTUS before anything is done to him/them. Failing that, we are going to have to wait - and hope fervently - for the voters to drum them out of office at that time in a mass wave. They've hidden/delayed some provision for the cuts to Medicaid until after the id-terms until 2020. Until then, they can continue to wreak havoc on the very social fabric of this country, packing the SCOTUS (Kennedy is supposedly retiring this summer), gerrymandering, passing state and local legislation that takes us back to the Depression era essentially. I'm not optimistic AT ALL. We've been fucked.
