I dont know if this has been posted yet but 40 former senators have made a plea to the current Senate to protect democracy. I believe we have reached a tipping point regarding the Mueller investigation. Thoughts?

I think if we're not at that point, the Mueller report will be the final straw. Speaking of Mueller...

Have you noticed how President Trumps' lawyers aren't doing any actual lawyering for him...
AT ALL? It's all just Rudy Giuliani tweeting and doing rambling, nigh-incoherent interviews... But, if that's whom he chose to represent him, then good luck.

Because Mueller has a dream team and they're going hard in the paint.

We reached the tipping point when the president was implicated in crimes by the OSC. Now it's time for the MAGimps to wile about until the Mueller milk bath comes.

We're going to see a nuclear LOOK OVER THERE!!!! moment.

I did not vote for Trump or Clinton.

Why not? If you despise Trump, should have bit the bullet and voted for Clinton. Unless you think Hillary would be an even worse president.

This was me when I read the letter from the senators, particularly the 'thanks for saying what needed to be said' part.
Democracy is still real to me damn it!

Gotta love his open phoniness. Literally nobody in the audience believed that's his bible.

Probably took it from a hotel room.

Holy shit you are a master Troll.
Lmao

I see a political prisoner. Wrong time, wrong place. Feds lied about her being a whore, then had to backtrack that. That's not a credible way to inform the public.

If she is in fact a spy, Russians couldn't find a more attractive spy? There are men better looking than this.

 

[Joe]

Real patriots over there at the nra

Bush v Clinton was the original offering if you recall
So yeah in 40 years you could have had 28 years of the same two families
But you chose it right

A monarchy would never had lost because in a Monarchy the people do not get a voice.

Clinton monarchied the hell out of Bernard in the primaries, though.
Obviously US is not a monarchy, but with same families running and winning over and over it kinda sorta becomes that. Name recognition and branding is just very tough to overcome. I think Bernie lost a lot of ground in the beginning cause nobody knew who the hell he was.

Neither deserved my vote. I don't need to engage in a dualistic game like you seem to want to play.

id love to see butina bring down the nra but they could be bankrupt before that happens

Just say "deep state" and move along. Stop wasting your own breath dancing around it. The deep state nonsense is the laziest shit in modern politics. It's literally based on arguing in tin foil fashion against something nobody could argue for...because it doesn't exist.

I don't think there's a well-coordinated entity across multiple administrations that can affect administrations. At least that would be my understanding of "deep state". Seems pretty unlikely, if not implausible. But I do think you can have remnants of outgoing administration with loyalties to previous administrations or ones before that are at odds with current agenda.

I do think MIC and similar industry/organizatons are powerful enough to affect ANY administration in ways we don't read on the news. I can't speculate exactly how.

"But some allies fret that the president’s coalition could crack apart under the growing pressure. Stephen K. Bannon, the former Trump strategist who helped him navigate the most arduous phase of his 2016 campaign, predicted 2019 would be a year of “siege warfare” and cast the president’s inner circle as naively optimistic and unsophisticated."
