No need to even write a post. Just rec it.

This kind of BS is junta stuff, banana republic stuff, 3rd world-dictator crap and yes, Russian and Putin crap.

If we (as the American people) don't roundly condemn Nunes and the GOP for this and send them to political purgatory forever, we are in deep shit. This didn't even occur in Watergate. To my knowledge, in 229 years of the USA Constitution existing and being implemented, this has NEVER occurred.

I do my best not to overreact to GOP BS, because there's just so much of it. This..this...this...went WAYYYY over the line IMHO.


ETA: With all due respect to all here, the SOTU "controversy" is the political equivalent of "oh did you see that dress she wore last night at the Grammy's ?!" I could not care less.

1. I totally agree. I said this yesterday and was dissed for it

Americans need to wake up right now.

3. yes we do

I really wonder at times about the caliber of some at DU. Back in the day, almost all of DU would be in agreement with us. Now, it's yawn, what shiny distraction do we discuss today?

THIS IS IMPORTANT FUCKING STUFF, PEOPLE.

2. I'm reposting this reply for a couple threads/issues...

(Just because I basically have no more "juice" to even TELL you all how freaked out/angry/disgusted/overwhelmed/etc...on and on, for every synonym and hyperbole out there...)
~ ~ ~

"If you're not outraged, Your not paying attention!" (God, who wrote that anyway...wasn't it from the fucking Vietnam War and Watergate era?)

...and yet we are all so fucking outrage-ed out. It's like adrenal exhaustion, I can't keep living like this on the one hand, my brain is gonna explode....but on the other hanD, i AM JUST TRYING TO FUCKING LIVE (read:survive)!!! Is it enough to get us all out there in the streets yet? Is it ever? WTF can *I* do, anyways...?


I want to laugh, cry, and burn the house down all at once. I mean it.

(I should turn this into a whole post/rant, since the farce of a SOTU is tonite... but I don't know if my emotional and mental welfare can even muster that up.)

4. I think the scope and implications of this

Go far beyond anything I’ve ever seen. I expect anything, but damn...

[steve2470]

5. totally agree

Releasing a BS memo is bad enough.

INVESTIGATING THE FBI AND DOJ???? Come on people, this is not America. This is way too close to the Communist witch hunts of the 1940's and 1950's, except that this time they are looking for HONEST GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES AND LAW ENFORCEMENT.

What will it take to really shock people ? Trump taking a small militia down to DOJ and FBI with firearms to blow them away with Fox News cameras rolling ? "Our Leader Trump protecting the Republik!!!!"

I exaggerate but wtf people.

12. This is Stalin.

13. +1000

6. I am afraid

that my America no longer exists. I hate living in a totalitarian country. Something that seemed an impossibility not too long ago. It is now time to STOP THIS INSANITY. How much longer can this country with its constitution and its laws in shreds continue? I don't care what it takes at this point, but tRump must go down and out of the people's house! Our nation is at serious risk!

7. I called Representative Schiff's Washington office today

I asked the nice lady on the phone to have Rep. Schiff or one of his people write up exactly what went down last night.

Hopefully later today or tomorrow, a full statement will be forthcoming about this BS witch hunt ON OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT APPARATUS.

If you don't care about this, I don't know what to say to you.

[mn9driver]

8. Yes. This is banana republic territory.

The United States is on the edge of a knife. I am not hopeful.

[lark]

9. The worst part

is they voted that the Dems could not issue their report which calls BS on a lot that the repugs will be releasing. How can that happen? WTF would prevent Schiff from just releasing it anyway, similar to DiFi's release of the Fusion interview? This is just giving drumpf material to fight Mueller, showing him what they have, from what I understand. Now he will have the ability to produce counter narratives, alibis, etc.

There's just so much wrong with this. It also gives names that drumpf can give to Putin to have operatives killed so they can't tell the truth on the witness stand and put Hair furor in jail where he belongs.

10. And I think it is going to get much worse. The Republican Party is so deep up trumps ass that

the only daylight they see to save themselves is through war. I believe that we will see an, alleged, preemptive strike on either North Korea or Iran. It will happen post Olympics unless Mueller indicts even more of trump’s inner circle or a significant congressional republican, Senator or house member.

War will not save them, but it may destroy us. China and Russia are not going to sit by and let this lunatic wreck the world.

We are in the middle of a coup that has the president trying to over throw his own democracy. He has corrupted the, willingly corrupt, Republican Party into being his little play things as he leads all through his bizarre hall of mirrors and down into the rabbit hole.

[pangaia]

14. China and Russia WILL watch/assist this lunatic destroy the USA.

[world wide wally]

11. Who will be doing the investigating?

Trump's Private Police?

[czarjak]

15. No there there?
