It doesn't *MATTER* if Rachel et al "Drops a bomb", bc 45 will just ignore it

[LaydeeBug]

like they have been doing since last October.

I am not sure what the solution is, but no one is going to do a thing about this.

[BainsBane]

1. No. That's just it

He doesn't ignore it. He complains, ropes people into denying it, and manages to confirm it in the process.

[meadowlander]

12. And goes on public record denying it

which will come in very useful when he is eventually subpoenaed.

[AgadorSparticus]

2. He'll ignore it like he ignores scar. He can't go too long without a fix

[Girard442]

3. **EXACTLY**

I'm tired to death of all this "bombshell" crap. Laws don't enforce themselves. Trump could toss babies into a woodchipper in front of a live audience of thousands and it wouldn't matter if no one does anything about it.

[LaydeeBug]

7. "Laws don't enforce themselves"

and we saw this happening while it was happening.

Now that they've been sworn in, do we honestly expect them to police themselves?

[MedusaX]

4. Senate Bill 94

If all else fails, maybe Senate Bill 94 will have sufficient support to override a Veto by 45...

If so, that will eliminate his opportunity to lift ( &/or allow to expire) the sanctions affecting the Exxon/Rosneft exploration and exploitation endeavors.

That won't save us from President Bannon but at least 45 won't get a cut of Rosneft .....

[OnDoutside]

5. Disagree. It matters in rallying the 5 or 10% of those

Who voted for him. You're never going to convince everyone. That's just the sad reality, however if you get that 5 or 10 % to realize he wasn't the"change" they thought he was, then he's toast.

[lindysalsagal]

8. When they discover, thanks to Rachel, that he IS a Russian operative, they'll care a lot!

He palls around with commies. And launders their blood money.

[KingCharlemagne]

16. "He palls {sic} aound with commies." For sheer ignorance, this

statement has to rank near the top.

HINT: Putin is no "Commie".

[ProudLib72]

6. Exactly right.

In the age of tRump, one must be a pessimist. To do otherwise will end in a mental breakdown. It doesn't matter if he proves its truth through his stupidity in handling the cover up. There is no oversight.

[Kimchijeon]

9. There's so many insane "bomshell" things left and right

I'm not sure what the solution is either, or what authority can step in to take action, but my guess is if the super-rich (mainly thinking of media conglomorate owners) are displeased with trumplet he's toast. Dunno.

[Jane Austin]

10. Um, money laundering is illegal everywhere, I think.

A commerce secretary whose bank is fined for money-laundering won't have any credibility at all, and if he knew about it, he might just go to international jail.

[BadgerMom]

18. States attorneys general?

I remarked similarly in the comments section of another OP tonight that I think eventually someone else, someone close enough to Trump but not protected by Congress and the federal justice system, will be discovered to have broken laws in these investigations. Once that person can be prosecuted by another court the entire structure could topple. It's the ol' Al Capone was imprisoned because of tax fraud. Trump won't fall because of what we expect. Someone close to him will be charged and he'll be implicated. Anyway, that's seems likeliest to me.

[AJT]

11. No crime is committed if no one gets charged.

And who is going to charge Trump.........no one.

[Tatiana]

13. Congressional Republicans have to be the target, at this point.

Because no, Trump could murder someone on live TV, and the GOP would work to cover it up and defend Trump's actions.

They have to be removed during midterms. It's nice that some are moving into his administration. This offers us a chance to be competitive prior to the midterms.

But we absolutely MUST mobilize everything for 2018. We have to win back the House. It is an imperative. Then we have to investigate (seriously) not only the administration's links to Russia, but Republican leaders in Congress (McConnell, Ryan, etc.).

Until we regain power, we should continue to protest, obstruct, and generally engage in Tea Party-like tactics.

[butdiduvote]

14. Right. I'm experiencing major "bombshell" burnout.

I can't keep holding my breath on justice prevailing. The GOP are a bunch of traitorous shitstains, and ultimately, it was my fellow citizens who voted to give them so much power. You can say, "The majority of the people didn't vote for them," but that means shit to me because plenty of people failed to vote against them, and those people are just as culpable for this disaster. What can I say. I wish people were better than this. I wish self-proclaimed patriots really cared about the nation. I wish my representatives cared about me.

[Dem2]

15. It'll take time

If these connections are as clear as they seem to be in her presentation, it seems likely there will be consequences in the future.

[lindysalsagal]

17. There's no out-running this. Heads will roll. Fingers will be pointed. They'll dump it all on fRump.

And hide under their desks.
