If it is on the internet then it must be true.

3/ I have been screaming about Trump/Russia since January 2016. To me, and to followers of this feed, the seditious phone call does not come as a surprise. But IF it was Putin on the line, and IF promises were made that compromise national security, Trump's presidency is over.

(70,291 posts)... w/Vlad P. but that Russia had the technology to hack into computers that were not online
aka voting machines and central tabulators. This might very well be the rosetta stone to
understanding what happened in 2016.
BTW in my own fervid mind Moscow Mitch knew the fix was in and so he blocked Merrick
Garland.

(581 posts)I think the enthusiasm for Trump which made a lot of repubs come out in droves won't be there again. Even the ones who say they support him know inside their souls that he is an incompetent douchebag

(33,038 posts)They do not care if we've been sold out to Russia; the cult has been conditioned for years to love Russia. The greedy don't care about democracy, either, they just want a system where money rules.

(34,661 posts)Since Trump went to his Jersey Golf Club last month. Dan Coats and his Deputy both resign and leave the White house almost immediately.
Lindsey Grahman was at that Jersey club at the same time,and Leningrad Lindsey has been MIA since.
Is Coats or his Deputy the Whistle-blower? Or was it their Chief of Staff. Understand whom ever it was or is,they returned to the CIA after leaving the White House.

(2,196 posts)I didn't think he'd ever hold office. After he took office, I didn't think he'd make it through the first year. After he got through the first year, I just 'knew' he wouldn't make it through half his term. Yet, he's still there. He's like that turd that won't go down the toilet no matter how many times you flush.
Fool me once, shame on you. Feel me 99 more times, shame on me.
trump's "presidency" will only be over when we vote his ass out.

(14,732 posts)I can envision a scenario by which, due to Russian (and/or other countries') interference in the Presidential election Trump can muddy the waters enough (and scream loud enough a la Bush-Gore debacle) to make the election results uncertain. I truly believe that this Supreme Court is perfectly capable of a Bush v Gore sequel, whereby the Democratic winner loses the Presidency again.

(2,196 posts)Anybody that is supposed to be registered to vote, and shows up to vote, gets to vote by provisional ballot.
If they get more votes than us, then they don't even have to cheat.
Go vote.

(1,117 posts)We don't need "impeachment".
We need real hearings. With holding people in contempt if they lie or refuse to answer.
And COUNSEL questioning witnesses. We need this made for TV, because the hearings are made to PERSUADE the public.

(53,471 posts)Putin he made promises to. This imbecile seems to think that he can play fast and loose with classified info and presidential privilege and it won't leak out.
He's on shakey ground now finally and it will come out.

(32,566 posts)Rachel's show) that he couldn't really protect him/her made me feel like it's the USA that's over. trump and his corrupt administration are breaking the law and disregarding all norms.

(983 posts)Sadly, 2020 will be a coin toss election.
VOX
(22,976 posts)Trump and moreover, his cult followers appear to just not care about all of 45s in-broad-daylight lawlessness. The same 40% of his base base will vote to re-elect him regardless of any confirmed lawbreaking, because owning the libs, is worth everything. And Putin will still be on board for the 2020 primaries and general election.
45s the freest man in America... for the moment.

(56,827 posts)The Fox News poll had Hillary Clinton up over Donald Trump in 47%-45% - that was essentially the actual final margin nationally in November 2016.
This year, that same Fox poll has Biden up 14%, Sanders and Warren up 8% and Harris up 2% over Trump.
So, that is something to be optimistic about
VOX
(22,976 posts)It all grinds one down after nearly three years of non-stop chaos and disinformation.
Thanks, NewJeffCT.

(56,827 posts)But Trump admitted on TV that he fired Comey because of "the Russia thing" - and that did not end his presidency.
I don't think this will, either. I hope Greg is right and I'm wrong, though.
