Could We Be Crossing Point Of No Return.

If Trump fires Mueller and Congress shuts down the investigations while Trump also nullifies present and future indictments with pardons, the rule of law really could be gone. And the GOP will likely shut down any other attempts to look into the Russian conspiracy. We will be in a new era.

Would such a deal be the point of no return. The tax bill proves that the GOP is so totally corrupt. And they seem to believe that they can rule with an iron fist so to speak.

Ryan already has his knives out for the safety net. They are salivating at social security - how to marketize it so they can fee the fuck out of it. Sorry all you proles under 40. Classic SS is gone. New SS is the replacement. Your social security funds will be invested in the market, & the investment class has the house advantage.

pardon people from state convictions. That may become our salvation and I would bet Mr. Mueller has contingency plans along those lines.

place the same bet, KY. I suspect Mueller has gamed this out already, 100 moves ahead of his screeching critics. What's amazing is the noise which IMHO means something very serious is coming down the pike, either before or after the holiday.

We shall see.
