Rev Barber: "He looks like he's getting away, but pride & arrogance come before a fall."

[kpete]

Mark my word: more things are going to come out that will prove just how guilty Trump & his enablers are. It will turn the public against them. How do we know? Read history. He looks like he’s getting away, but pride & arrogance come before a fall. Always have, always will.

1. Thank you reverend

I sure hope you are right!

[Nikki28]

2. me to

I pray he is right because everywhere I look it seems he is getting away just like OJ. I would love to turn on the TV show called: "I almost got away with it and it is DJT story".

[murielm99]

9. OJ still spent a lot of time in jail.

He is an old man with a ruined life.

[IronLionZion]

13. There is also the theory that OJ's son Jason did it

and OJ deliberately drew attention to himself knowing he'd be acquitted. Trump would never do that for his kids.

[UniteFightBack]

15. That's actually not a real theory. nt

[IronLionZion]

17. If you say so

18. Not wasting my time on that but thanks anyway. nt

[IronLionZion]

19. You're welcome!

[UniteFightBack]

20. I just KNEW there would be a waving smiling guy attached to your answer....LOL

[safeinOhio]

3. Rev Barber is a treasure.

Hope everyone knows that.

[Ferrets are Cool]

4. I'm looking at history. jr and cheney are still rich men walking free

after arrogantly starting a war for pride and oil. Don't talk to me about history. It's written by the winners.

I wish you were correct. I hope you are correct. But I will not hold my breath.

[LiberalArkie]

5. Bush and Cheney were enabled by congress voting for the wars.

Trump is such a prideful SOB that he won't do that.

[oldsoftie]

25. You're skipping that we also got Clinton & Obama.

Its not like the GOP kept control from 80 till now.

[oldsoftie]

31. You arent reading my post correctly.

I said its not like we got the GOP the whole time. Bush & Dole LOST to Clinton. McCain & Romney LOST to Obama.

[volstork]

45. Oldsoftie's point is

that we won the WH for 16 years with Democrats in spite of RW f*#kery.

(Please correct me if I’m wrong, Oldsoftie...)

[oldsoftie]

59. Exactly. Thank you. I really thought it was obvious.

Bush & Iraq was a MJOR contributor to Obama getting elected; so it wasnt ignored at all. Among the other things.

[DENVERPOPS]

56. You can't compare Obama and Clinton

to this asshole dictator. and his Coup by the Republican Party.......no way in hell.

The last time the world faced a nightmare of this magnitude was Hitler, and look at all the hell he rained down on this earth and it's people, and for how long he got away with doing it before he got his comeuppance..........

WASF

[Ferrets are Cool]

47. Thank you for expanding on my thoughts.

6. Goeth.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

34. 37th Psalm

Fret not yourself with evil doers. They may spread like the Green Bay tree, but they will be brought down.

[calimary]

7. I agree. But it sure is taking a long time.

I still suspect he’s the Antichrist. Too much keeps incomprehensibly going his way.

[oldsoftie]

26. THATS what that hair is covering up; the MARK!!

[calimary]

38. AHA !!!!!! !!!!!! !!!!!!

[volstork]

46. Damien!

Omen II!

[questionseverything]

49. the anti christ is supposed to fool everyone...so that isnt trump

trump is probably the great deceiver that ushers in the anti christ

[oldsoftie]

60. The way things are right now, do you think ANYONE could fool ALL of us?

As segmented as we all are right now? How could someone show up who would get the approval of Hannity AND Maddow's followers???

[questionseverything]

61. i am just saying what the bible suggests as i have interperted it(i am not claiming to be sure)

but honestly I think whoever comes after trump will look pretty good to most of us(since the bar is sooooooooooooo low now)

another way to interpret is that the anti Christ would fool the Christian nation but again altho trump has fooled much of the Christian nation, he has not fooled all of it

I am not someone who needs to think I know everything

[yaesu]

8. But this humpty Dumpty has a huge cushion to fall on, a big, soft justice department

layered with a fully inflated federal court system.

[PatSeg]

10. God, I hope so

For the most part, I truly believe this, but every day he gets bolder and more arrogant. Then I have moments of doubt. Of course, I know it will end eventually, but how much damage will he leave behind?

[Scarsdale]

11. How long do we have to wait

for karma to catch up with tRump? Son of a bitch has Teflon coating, it seems. How much MORE damage will be done before we get him out?

[oldsoftie]

28. November.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

14. I believe in Rev. Barber

He is a man of wisdom.

[UniteFightBack]

16. I hope this is true but we tend to let presidents get away WITH MURDER in this country cause ya know

the good of the country and all.

[SylviaD]

21. I'm sorry, but I have no more faith Trump will ever be held responsible for his actions. nt

[Arthur_Frain]

22. Part of the public already has.

He will never lose that 25-30%. Never.

And I’ve read history. I’ve seen a lot of bad people get away with some really bad shit.

So don’t bank too terribly much on this. You’re likely to be disappointed. I mean, has there beenany repercussions at all for the Bush/Cheney crowd for lying us into a war that now has spanned 20 years? Nope. They’re still down on their sheep fucking ranch in Texas, fucking sheep.

I personally am tired of waiting for things that never come to pass. It’s a waste of my time. My focus now is to be part of whatever attempt exists to get him out of office in nine months, and then forget him as quickly as possible.

[treestar]

29. Being out of power is hellacious for them

At least.

[Arthur_Frain]

30. Then here's to a hellacious forty years to come in the wasteland.

That’ll about do it for me on this mortal coil.

[TexasBushwhacker]

53. Perhaps for Cheney. GWB has taken up painting

and sitting with Ellen at football games.

[GoCubsGo]

23. The good reverend is absolutely right.

At the very least, loads of incriminating information is going to get leaked. He may also get a taste of his own medicine when it comes to election tampering. Not going to do anything to fix the system because you think it only benefits you? Guess again, moron. You think Russia is the only one capable of screwing with us? Far from it, and most of them hate you.

[CrispyQ]

48. We need Hackers for Democracy.

Actually what we need is a secure and clean electoral process not tainted with money.

But until then, I'll take the hackers.

[cilla4progress]

24. What I've been

saying!!

I'm confident he will go too far...cross that line, and take the whole house of cards down with him!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

32. Agree kpete...he will do worse things..he's emboldened. But

Don't think there are many who think he didn't do what he did in Ukraine. They just think " not a big deal". We've got to get him on things most all people do think is a big deal. Like surely surely he's sexually harassing some woman somewhere. He's president now! He thought he was a huge deal as NBC celeb. A Trumper told me that he didn't care what he did before presidency just once he got in forward.

[Maeve]

33. Repeating an old tale

A king once had an advisor who told him there was a gift that could make him smile on his worst day and cry on his best. The king asked what sort of magic could do that and the advisor gave him a simple gold ring. Inscribed on the ring were the words "This, too, shall pass."

[Stuart G]

35. Thank You for posting this. K and R

[JGug1]

36. The Public And Mr. Trump

IF the public were exposed to only real news about the behavior of Donald Trump, he would be removed from office in November in a landslide. That isn't what is going to happen. The Trump campaign is already engaged in a propaganda campaign, the magnitude of which, has never been seen before. This is because they have discovered and accumulated extensive data on every single American. This has already been used in a propaganda campaign during Trump's impeachment. I refer you to NPR and an interview I heard last evening. The ONLY way to short circuit this is to become involved in the very same kind of campaign. We MUST remove Trump.

[Skittles]

58. you know it, JGug1

yes indeed

[ooky]

37. Love Rev. Barber

and hope he's right. After all I have seen though, I'm no longer convinced anything remains that he and his enablers could do - that hasn't already exposed their pure evil - that would cause their cult to turn on them. I think its just going to take enough outrage over what we have already seen, outrage from decent and moral people, to drive the overwhelming turnout that will need to defeat him/them in November.

[FiveGoodMen]

41. The cult is what we really have to worry about

1/3 of humanity shows every evidence of just being inherently evil.

[ooky]

42. Yes. It's essentially a repeat of 1930's Germany.

These Republicans are using the Nazi blueprint for their takeover.

[FiveGoodMen]

44. Those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it

Those who DO remember are doomed to sit helplessly by while those who DON'T remember history … repeat it.

[DEbluedude]

39. I do not disagree. Recent history however, tells a different tale.

I was pissed at the Obama administration for not going after the Bush/Cheney cabal in regards to Iraq and WMD's. Over 4500 American soldiers were killed because of those lies. Whenever the next Democratic administration is in office, these fucks must be held accountable. No more "moving on for the good of the country" bullshit. We can't "go high when they go low" if we don't educate the electorate on the truth. Without truth, nothing matters. We must control the narrative. One way to do that is to continually convene investigatory hearings.

They must be investigated, prosecuted and penalized for the damage they have done to our Nation. They are traitors to nth degree. The antithesis of everything this country stands for. We cannot just put this behind us and move on. It will be years before this cancer in our democracy is contained. I say contained because I know it can never be fully eradicated. I believe that the Rule of Law will prevail. The problem is its going to get worse before it gets better.

[AJT]

40. Someone should have told that to Hitler.

Or the Kim family. Maybe, eventually, the tide turns but that doesn't make it imminent. This may take decades to get past. We can't give up, but we need to be realistic.

[struggle4progress]

50. The harder they come, the harder they fall

The oppressors are trying to keep me down, trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them, Lord: they know not what they've done

51. Thank you

Reverend Barber.

[DavidDvorkin]

52. It's a comforting self-deception

But the sad truth is that there is no karma and the universe does not have a moral arc.

[grantcart]

54. My permanent tag line

Hubris goes before the fall humility goes before the victory.

[Divad123]

55. Before or After?

Before or after he starts herding people into pens? Oh, wait, he already is.

[3Hotdogs]

57. That's a nice thought, but McChimp is still wandering around, free,

along with his new best friends, Michelle and Ellen.

Ronnie and guns for Iran never got justice...............

and on and on.
