The power of pedo kompromat, I suppose.

I suspect every one of them who is not stepping forward to speak out to really release all the files of being involved.

That means, in my guestimation, of all the hundreds or thousands of repukes, only three, Maisse, MTG, & Boebert are clean.

Sorry lot they are!

Sadly, although some magats will connect the dots, I don't expect many to do anything but continue voting to cut their own noses off to spite their faces.

our judicial system. I don't know how many years it will take to recover the talent and knowledge that he fired from the government and all the people that left the country.

I'll be dead. Fuck Trump and all Republicans for screwing up my golden years. I just want a peaceful life and that is at least 3 years away.

The US is always at or near the top in per capita use of natural resources. Maybe slowing down the economy will reduce our burden on the planet a little.
Of course, it would be nice if any possible gain wouldn't be immediately offset by Trump's slashing of EPA rules etc.
