Trump continues to commit crimes, Muellers case grows stronger day by day. The next six months are going to be very bad for Trump the tyrant.
Caligula the tyrant threw money at his people. Trump the tyrant is going to throw pardons at the American people. Tyrants do this to fool the people.
Trumps policies will soon start hurting the people. The trade wars. Making our allies our enemies. Healthcare costs are going to soar. Damage from all the corruption will start to show. The tyrant will be exposed and then he will be taken down.
Everything will come to a head all at once and Trump will be overwhelmed. Many Trump voters will realize their mistake and they will start talking like all survivors of cults talk. Have you every seen an interview with a cult survivor? They have a lot in common with Trump voters.
Trump is making more and more enemies. Republicans in congress are going to turn on him. The November election is extremely important. If the Democrats can take back the house, Republicans in congress will turn against him. Democrats will start many investigations.

(17,863 posts)continue along at least until the mid-terms. Democrats need to find a way to personalize these decisions in their advertising. There is an overall pattern to them that will roll over the poor and middle class. I would start by finding people and their families impacted by pre-ACA insurance companies kicking them off insurance because of expensive conditions (they used all sorts of tactics including cancelling policies for entire small businesses just to get to one cancer patient).
The GOP was very successful in nationalizing the House races with their Contract for America. The Democrats need to figure out how to pull that off as well. They need to hold the GOP House and Senate members complicit.

(3,344 posts)Yet another week goes by with no indictments, no big new news, etc. It is taking too long. We don't have forever. There isn't going to be a DOJ left if Mueller takes too long.
Look at the DOJ now going after reporter's records. They will stop at nothing to create a government loyal only to Trump.
Mueller needs to fucking hurry up, period. I have lost my patience.

(14,155 posts).... making Fux Snooz Judge Jeanine Pirro an Assistant Attorney General to make her the boss over the Mueller investigation. The fact that team trDump would even mention this idea publicly is reason for pause and concern for how they are willing to bend and contorting justice to escape any checks and balances to protect Democracy.
They want a Fascist Oligarchy, if we are not vigilant they will sneak one in there past us before we realize what has happened.

(7,888 posts)erased by the Roman Senate upon his death. Impeachment is a metaphorically acceptable alternative, if he doesn't resign in shame. Another shame, Republican's who follow like lemmings.

(9,426 posts)member of the tRump family has any shame. They thrive on publicity as much as the Kardasian clan. They have just as much "class" too. This presidency is the very best thing that ever happened to this grifting family. They continue to do business, the money flows from overseas, and laws are broken with no consequences. Orange Ass depletes the treasury, going to his golf courses. More corruption in this administration than any Mafia Crime Family. Unfortunately, they are destroying this contry in the process. People in other countries look on in horror while this pretend president makes decisions based on his personal "feelings" and grudges. The gop OWNS this mess, and hopefully they will pay for this disaster when elections roll around. We have a con man in the WH, with a "first lady" nude model (escort) As if that is not shameful enough, the rest of their gang is tearing apart the country.

(8,702 posts)But trump clearly has no fucks to give and his administration follows his lead and talks about their crimes on live TV with zero fucks to give and they keep rolling like the party will never end.
Its to big and to complicated for people to understand or believe so many just choose not too.
The more unwieldy this thing becomes the less likely it is to be accepted or understood.
I hope for the best but expect the worst because so far that is all we have got from this.

(3,922 posts)I certainly believe that Mueller is compiling a significant case against this insanely corrupt administration.
However, it is difficult to ignore the pall, the darkness, that is seemingly hovering over the world.
Far-right candidates and governments are increasing. People power has given way to apathy, hopelessness, and skepticism about situation - in many countries.
In America, we're watching in disbelief as a fake president utters nonsensical garbage that is taken for facts by a significant portion of our population. Just today he told us that Hillary lost the debates, Putin would've preferred Hillary as President, and he wants to pardon a deceased individual (read: celebrity) who is not guilty of any crime! The news just reports this and we just shake our heads, but many actually believe this nonsense. Point is, it IS nonsense, from the so-called leader of one of the largest countries in the world!
We wait for Mueller as if this will be the end of the nightmare, but what if it isn't? What if Mueller reports a wide-ranging criminal enterprise and Congress ignores the report? We know the #IPOTUS will simply deny everything and accuse the investigation of lying. What if Mueller fails to come up with any substantive crimes, being completely hamstrung from the chaos that constantly swirls around the administration's denials?
Suicide rates are rising sharply, despair is setting in. For people afflicted with depression, this must be an awful time to live through - let's hope and pray that they do.
The sun still shines but it's hard not to notice the darkness.

Mueller as an employee of DOJ must follow their rules, including the rule prohibiting indictment of the president.
Republicans cant impeach him or vote for conviction if he is indicted. It would be political suicide.
