While we gloat

over the dancing monkey as it shits itself over and over, it's owners (Wall Street, the koch's, etc.) are laughing at us. They are rapidly eroding all of the efforts we made to make the country better. Whether it's health care, the environment, immigration policy, LBGTQ rights, oil pipelines, war profits, or the latest - killing Dodd Frank - they have just about fulfilled the wet dreams of the rich and nasty.

As we join hands and dance because trump might get into trouble again, the evil rulers dance too. They don't give a damn about trump. They will toss him in a minute as soon as he or his actions begin to slow down their complete takeover of our country. When we no longer find his orange head to be fascinating and begin looking into what is happening, they will let him go. He's a puppet who knows he will go to jail when he quits being the distraction that the rulers need.

I just wish I thought that the Democrats in power had some plan to reinstate our country. I'm afraid they are like too many voters - just concentrating on the outrage and insult to America that is trump.

1. There are things happening that would be serious Page 1 stories -if not for the Trump Investigation

Of course Trump has no clue and just rubber stamps everything that lands at his desk.

No wonder then that the Lobbyists are in a feeding frenzy mode and visitor logs have been banned.

2. +1

[LOL Lib]

3. Great post, but you are kidding yourself if you think Dump will spend a day in jail.

Other than that, I completely agree.

[SticksnStones]

4. Money laundering is a serious crime

Not a political misstep.

I dunno...NYAG Schneiderman is a dog and Trump's his bone right now ~

I wouldn't rule out jail time just yet

[LOL Lib]

9. That's a great point.

A crime against a state may be the best chance we have of seeing Dump in shackles. I take back my previous post and will continue to hope. There is nothing that would make me happier than to see that crook rotting in jail.

10. Would love that photo.

A tubby trump, orange jump suit, buzz cut hair, manacled, shuffling to his cell.

[LOL Lib]

11. It would be worthy of a spot above the fireplace.

5. I was just thinking almost this same thing

everything is being torn apart or axed. I feel like the more backed in to a corner Trump feels, the less 'supported' he feels he will just set as much on fire as he can and people are going to suffer. He's like a toddler destroying all of his toys, except his toys are basically us.

6. Nothing to gloat about. Yet.

The hard work is just getting started, 2018 is just around the corner. When we have the House and all these dirty GOPee-ers are out of power, then I'll take a minute to gloat and then get back to work because 2020 is just around the corner...

7. +1

Excellent post.

[marlakay]

8. No matter what he does it takes 2/3 of congress

To impeach him. Isn't going to happen so we are stuck in the hole.

[Cosmocat]

13. THIS

You just aren't paying attention if you think any R control House will even bring up articles of impeachment.

So, it isn't happening before 2019 at a bare minimum,

[marlakay]

18. That's basically what I said

It won't happen.

[CrispyQ]

12. I don't think anyone's gloating.

I'm looking on with horror. The dems are powerless & don't seem to have a strategy, & I haven't a clue what the military thinks - if he has a higher percentage of support there or not. I've pinned all my hopes on the intelligence community.

14. He is a Trojan Horse, the tax cut mania (Kleptocracy) is unolding right before our eyes NT

[BamaRefugee]

15. And while we gloat...

...the Russians are working harder than ever to do a much more thorough and bulletproof job of influencing 2018 elections, don't kid yourself.

[pnwmom]

16. We have to do both at the same time. Fight against the blizzard of

legislation that will wreck the country AND fight the coup.

And key to everything should be a massive GOTV drive, starting yesterday.

[Nitram]

17. I don't gloat, and I don't believe most people on DU gloat. That's an offensive suggestion.

Watching in disbelief as the Trump administration commits one self-destructive act after another is not gloating. Wanting a thorough investigation and a removal of Trump from office if he is found guilty of colluding with the Russians is not gloating.

[Jakes Progress]

20. Missed the point.

But made mine.

As we stare at the dancing monkey, "watching in disbelief", the country is being stolen. While we stare and argue over what is gloating and what is not, the rich are looting the rest of us. We don't notice our pockets being picked and our lives being changed. They trot out their orange buffoon to distract while they loot. The news follows the flashy right hand, while the left hand does the dirty work.

If and when we get our "thorough investigation" and trump's removal, the damage will have already been done.

I think that is offensive enough.

19. The Democrats are not in power and can not save us for the consequences of a disastrous

2016 election. We need people to understand party loyalty is our only defense against the GOP who will literally kill millions if we don't put a stop to them.

is the only power we have against the 1%. We threw that away in 2016. We must have it in 2018.

[Demsrule86]

22. I agree...we have made this mistake before ...in 2000 and in 2004

Also by not showing up for midterms...we must do better of the repugs win.

[Adrahil]

23. I'm well aware of the damage being done...

But there is nothing I can do about that right now.

OTOH, I will take victories when they come, and damaging Hair Fuhrer is what can be done right now.
