We've been so fortunate to have Speaker Pelosi leading the Congress these past couple of years. She's a master of politics and she has kept the right tone throughout Trump's reign.

The next couple of years will be tough and I'm glad she's there.

He’s most certainly not an evil genius. He operates on a purely transactional and reactive nature. Some around him plan but most are very incompetent. If they weren’t we’d already be a dictatorship. Now that’s not to say his followers don’t represent a clear and present threat to this country. They do and they must be crushed.

I think the goal posts have shifted for them thanks to Russia. It's no longer just about grifting and letting corps do their dirty work to reap huge profits and maintain power while holding back the masses. Not to mention our foreign policy.

Even in Nov 2016 I 'knew' a coup was in progress and Putin had his hands all over it.
Destabilize the US, damage the ties btw US and EU, and at the right time go after Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Belarus.......

The guy who is in jail on a hunger strike supposedly has a Russian mother. He was pictured with a known Ukrainian who worked for a media outlet paid for by Russians. Allegedly. The woman arrested from the insurrection, who needed an interpreter, was Russian, she was with her daughter who had performed at Mar-a-loser through TPUSA.

The People planning are the ones who brought him, Pence, Pompeo and all the enablers together, along with Rupert Murdoch.

while at the same time playing upon the definition of epiphany as "revelation" or something that is revealed, namely white supremacy.

both for the date and for an awakening that turned out way different that Donald Trump and his fascists anticipated.
Their so called great awakening did not happen but America is now Awake. He'll be down to 20% by next week - by the time the trials start, that fucker will never rise again.
