Don't get your hopes up

[Saboburns]

Today's shameful exhibition won't change anything. The Republicans in Congress won't react, at all. This news story won't last til even noon tomorrow.


Nobody in his Cabinet is going to resign in shame. There will not be Republican calls for impeachment.


Today was just aother day in this Presidency.


It will get worse than this.

1. Sad to say - you are 100% right

[uponit7771]

2. K&R, Red Don will have someone pee on him and this will be out of the headlines

[Pacifist Patriot]

3. Quite the opposite with me actually.

Not only are my hopes not up, I harbor ever growing fears for our future.

[The Wielding Truth]

9. Yes! This is proof positive that he is a traitor! Republican Senators met in Russia w/ Kislyak!

Why and how is that not traitorous?

[PDittie]

15. What is about President Pence that gives you hope?

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. Your question makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

Did you mean to reply to someone else?

[PDittie]

17. Yes it does, and no I didn't.

I did leave a word out, though, so I can understand your confusion.

What is it about President Pence that gives you hope?

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. Not a bloody thing. What about my post makes you think anything does?

"Quite the opposite with me actually. Not only are my hopes not up, I harbor ever growing fears for our future."

Hope the emphasis helps with understanding. Cheers.

4. That's my suspicion, too.

The groundwork has already been laid, the message is baked in, what Trump did today will only endear him to his faithful fans.

For every thing that Trump gets away with, it's only a matter of time until he does the unthinkable, and whatever that might be, there will be know way to undo the damage.

5. True enough. True enough. nt

[LanternWaste]

6. I'll keep them up at little cost.

My hopes cost nothing and are legion.

[Hoyt]

7. Yep. He'll deport some immigrants, tell his supporters that Russia is our best hope for a

white coalition, criticize Obama, and similar junk.

[Chiboy]

8. Yep

We should expect to be defeated

I don’t see a way out of this one

[The Wielding Truth]

10. Don't expect defeat! It will turn if we make it!

[Scurrilous]

13. ...

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. No "we" should not expect to be defeated.

[TygrBright]

11. As long as the #GOP #TreasonCaucus is in charge, this is absolutely correct. n/t

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. I don't disagree

About the only practical way to make things better and/or staunching the bleeding is for Democrats to control Congress starting next year and then following it up with getting rid of Trump and his whole cabal in 2020. Everything else- even Mueller- is a dim hope for a saviour.

14. Sorry but each morning I wake up I hope there's news that leads me to think he'll be gone soon

and today gives me more hope than ever that this disgusting, despicable traitor & world class asshole, Donald Trump, will either resign, be impeached, or better yet be put away in jail where he truly belongs.

Really, though, it just doesn't matter whether or not those cowardly GOPers call for impeachment or not. What matters is that as many of them as possible get voted out of office and we take control.

Hope is one of the best assets we have right now.

19. While you are of course right that the news cycle will move on, I'll be interested to see the

polling on this. There just HAVE to be an amount of tenuously attached moderate Republicans who are saying to themselves, "I've enough of this shit....".

[ecstatic]

20. Where is rock bottom for these evil clowns?

Clearly not babies in cages, destruction of alliances, or treason. Is it really going to take genocide? Or will even that be excused as a "both sides" thing?
