...never rang more true than with Trump's behavior that, at every turn, has been about obstructing justice from getting to the truth about the Russian interference.

The obstruction is so blatant that I cannot see how Trump can dodge any charges from it.

I think we all know vile human beings, but the Con has managed to fit the quintessential definition of all that is evil and I rarely use that word.

Trying to weaponize the DOJ.

He's beyond a fucking fool.

Come on Bob Mueller, please hurry and rid us of this asshole.

and the rest of the gop are enabling this clown. Protecting him out of fear of their misdeeds being exposed. Russian money, and blackmail keeps them from doing the right thing. A democratic president would have been removed long ago for a fraction of what tRump has done. Every time Mueller turns over another rock, a slimy co-hort of tRumps slithers out. Does he have any "friends" who are NOT crooks? Putin must be delighted, he certainly chose the right candidate for his WH.

Call it the Trump party, call Fox, Trump News.

Put a huge emphasis of how the Trump party has ballooned the deficit and they are coming for Social Security and Medicare if they keep the House and Senate to pay for the tax cuts for the rich.

Democrats need to keep their message clear and concise. A vote for Trump/Republicans is a vote to destroy the safety net, a vote to destroy the environment.

Michael Avenatti gets it, his slogan is spot on; Make America America Again.

over the comment. But, their words are meaningless if they don't back it up with votes against Trump or to protect Mueller.

Putting out statements critical of Cheeto, then voting with him (and the party) when the chips were down.
