We Cannot Stop Any Of This Madness If GOP Legislators Go Along. Only GOP Defectors Can Stop Things.

As we know the GOP cheated its way into this kind of power. To think that it will take GOP defectors to save the country is really appalling. They have gained all the power they need to wreck the last 100 years progress. So we can hope enough Republicans will come to their senses. And we must hope the MSM finds a spine and a will to push back harshly against Trump and the GOP.

We know the election was stolen in our hearts from the local to the national level. Enough voters were stupid and racist enough to vote for Trump and the GOP to make the election close enough to steal just like 2000 and 2004. Thanks to the MSM they were able to pull of the STING OF LIFETIME.

Trump was so so bad that anyone should have been able to beat him. So many things were stacked against Hillary it is no wonder she supposedly lost. Yet she won the popular vote by large margin.

Really this election was a COUP orchestrated and helped the Koch's organizations and super rich billionaires. We know they want ALL the money. And Trump is there to deliver it to them.

“There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to make it stop. And you’ve got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you’re free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!”

Our government is in the hands of gangsters and in case nobody has noticed, so is the Russian government. Now the two have linked up and there is little to be done to stop them. I have no confidence there is any repub who will actually step up.

The majority of the GOP caucus in both houses of the Congress feel that they will lose their seats.

Unfortunately, we re-elect incumbents around 70 percent of the time.

So they will have had to pissed people off, seriously. Trumpcare could be a good start though.
