Nothing matters to these Republican traitors.

No Russian help, lawbreaking, or obvious crimes will slow down their attacks on the nation millions fought and died for.

Democracy is almost dead.

Resist with all you got.

It’s about time we all faced it. There’s NO dealing honestly or in any straightforward manner. Because he not only doesn’t play by the rules, he doesn’t even acknowledge that there might even BE any rules.

He needs to be impeached - AND removed. Even if it means a brief and aberrant “presidency” for Mike Pence.

And yeah, I’m certain that would mean a pardon. But then Pence would likely wind up going the way of Gerald Ford.

..the time for fainting couches and complaints of incivility are long over. We are in this situation because we've chosen to take that tactic in the face of almost every act of threat and aggression from the right over the past 25 years.

Sadly, far more damage will likely be the result of continual fact-bashing in the name of polluting corporate profits. The GOP has married this stack of bullshit, despite half hearted attempts on the parts of some of them to divorce themselves from this disaster, they're still supporting inevitably disaster producing bullshit.
Climate change will give the idiots, no matter how loud their mouthpieces, the smackdown in disastrous proportions. That will be the beginning of the end of the RW POV dominance over the falsehood-spewing media outlets. Denying science standing in the middle of disastrous flood, storms and dust-bowl droughts stricken areas?
It's coming... It's inevitable... and:
Sarah Phuckabee Sanders, Sean Hannitary Napkin, Captain blowhard Limbaugh, the Fox and Fiends crew and many others will have their names forever engraved in the most backward, disastrous bullshit steeped crusade ever created since the actual Nazi's.

They are worse than the "actual Nazi's." The original Nazi's believed they were pushing their world forward, to a better whiter place.

Where purity would reign supreme. Where the best of their number would rule with with god-like impunity.

These new fucking jokers, with their tiki-torches, and their "Fake President" want to do something new.

Legitimize illegality.

He has seen a whole lot of strange stuff. He once predicted in 1999 the invention of the, "smart phone.
He knows his history and goes back a long way. He is not someone new on the court. Highly respected and intelligent he wrote one of the best known Original Star Trek shows in 1967, called, "The Trouble with Tribbles." That show aired on ?December 29, 1967..He wrote this email. He also wrote a number of books that relate to science fiction and Star Trek.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_HARLIE_Was_One nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1972 and the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1973.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_Who_Folded_Himself nominated for the Nebula Award for Best Novel in 1974 and the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1974.

A lot of noise is made about his Star Trek contributions, but for my money those are two excellent, imaginative, novels.

We all know that electronic voting as not verifiable.
We all know that electronic voting machines are easily hackable.
We all know that electronic voting machines are made by companies owned by Right-Wingers.
We all know that manufacturers refuse to modify their machines to provide a paper trail.
We all know that Trump has REFUSED to look into making voting machines more verifiable.

And you think that they will let the Democrats pick up seats in November?
We may need pitchforks and torches after the November election.
