In spite of the many revelations about Trump that caused us to think "This is it! This

is what will end him!" and then, the news cycle turned, the world moved on and nothing happened, we must keep fighting. Some event or some combination of events WILL take him down. We all have to keep throwing rocks at the monster until it is defeated and destroyed.

Got a boulder? Drop it on him?

Handful of pebbles? Fling them with all your strength!

None of us knows what will be the "smooth stone" that drops this Goliath wannabe.

I am completely convinced that eventually Trump will pay the piper, because karma is infallible. Karma is just like gravity, it never stops working. We must not get discouraged. Just keep enthusiastically resisting the degenerate criminals in the WH.

and i don't even get it. i really don't. he's so bad, he's so corrupt, so stupid, so sick. i can barely stand to listen to a sound bite from him. yet millions of people are enthralled by him and Putin and the GOP seem to think they're getting what they want by keeping him on. and so here we are. i hope the cataclysmic event is not the end of the constitution and the rule of law and our democracy.

And Japan after Midway. It took several more years for it to bear fruition, but that was the moment it all changed for them.

Trump has already lost. The forces working against him can't be stopped, just as the allies couldn't be stopped once they really got going. We will debate in hindsight years from now when the moment came that really did him in, but it has already happened and it is inevitable. You can take that to the bank. All he can do in the meantime is bark and yell and sabotage, but it will not save him in the end just as fanatical Nazi and Japanese resistance didn't save them either. He will go down. But it's still gong to be awhile.

To draw a historical metaphor, I would say that Trump has already had his Stalingrad but has not had his Normandy yet. I have high hopes that will come in November in the form of a blue wave.
