It Really Scares Me That There Are People In The White House And This Administration That.....

[global1]

know that Trump has broken many, many laws; know the contents of the Mueller Report and are covering up the information and protecting Trump to the detriment of our democracy.

I'm talking WH lawyers. I'm talking WH staff. I'm talking Trump's family. I'm talking the AG - Barr. We could even say the entire Repug Party - members of Congress and former members of Congress.

Everyday we see a little more of our democracy dwindle away. We see Trump being given an inch and taking a mile. We see lies upon lies upon lies.

Why? What is their end game?

I'm demoralized more and more each day. Helplessness and hopelessness fill my head. I see the Dems being outmaneuvered in every endeavor they take on to do their legal oversight.

I'm hanging my hat on the 2020 election and the American People taking charge to end this situation - but the pressure will be on Trump and the Repugs to do everything under the sun to suppress votes, cheat and steal the 2020 election. We didn't even solve the Russian interference question.

He needs to win in order to continue to protect himself. I can't even imagine another four years of this continuous stress - let alone the two years we have to wait until the 2020 election.

1. K&R, at ... MINIMUM ... MAGA Cult can see somethings wrong and their response is "get over it" ...

... and not even trying to defend the something wrong !!!

[NewJeffCT]

2. The end game?

I thought that was obvious - Donny declares himself King for Life and names either Don Jr or Ivanka as his heir.

[Bettie]

5. That is precisely why

I'm not counting on an election in 2020. I suspect that Barr will say that he is within his rights to declare himself president for life, SCOTUS will say "Yes, he can do that" and we have a dictator of our very own.

[Corgigal]

3. End game?

When our middle class lives like the Russian middle class. They want to steal everything, personally for the ruling class.

[KPN]

4. All of that scares me -- and I'm sure all of us -- as well.

I'm not sure we can count on 2020 at all. It won't be an honest, credible election. I'm convinced of that. If they got away with it in 1980, 2000, 2004 and especially 2016, why would they not do it again?

[TommyCelt]

16. I've said before since the midterms and still believe it...

Unless we win 2020 in an unambiguous landslide, this trump does not leave the WH quietly. This is how liberty dies...

[bluestarone]

18. Hell i have thoughts that they OWN the electoral college!

Who will argue this AFTER the fact? I DO NOT put anything pass these lowlife people anymore!

[Hotler]

6. They are all cut from the same cloth.

bigotry, selfishness and greed.

[ScratchCat]

7. Imagine if all the fired Cabinet members

Like Tillerson, and McMaster, and Nielson, and Sessions - the ones which hold clout with the GOP in general .... Imagine if they held a joint press conference and stated Trump was not mentally fit for the job? And pleaded with Congress to remove him? Go into specifics about his mental derangement. This "waiting and hoping he doesn't do something entirely crazy" has to end. The blood will be on the hands of these people who had the ability to stop this.

10. Senate and House Republiscums would say: so what?

I kid you not.

[CrispyQ]

8. The elite were only in favor of representative government as long as they could control

who was represented. When the uppity women, POC, & gays started demanding equality & equity in the system, it became time to take the scenery down, as Zappa once stated they would.

[stillcool]

9. what we see, is what they want...

solid republican control of state and local governments. Laws written by white men, for white men. Donald is part of the disease, not the cause, and he won't be the cure.

[Perseus]

11. These people, besides the fact they are Republican fanatics, many of them are compromised

I can't see anything else...what is Barr's motivation? I can only think that he is a fanatic and/or that he has been compromised by the buffoon, maybe he has been promised millions, or a week-end at Mar-A-Lago, all expenses paid...They sell their souls for very little.

The fact that most of these people, and that includes Stephen Miller, know that given the reason they will to be thrown under the bus by the buffoon, that the buffoon has no loyalty for anyone but himself, what is in their brains that they want to be part of this mess?

[Firestorm49]

12. What is their end game?

It’s the same as it always was - total unending control. An oligarchy. A fascist oligarchy State.

Skippy Walker is prancing around the country stirring up Republicans to rewrite the Constitution. If that doesn’t concern you, you’re a Republican.

We need to step up our game now, before America is lost to despot criminals.

[yuiyoshida]

13. Not only that he is destroying the Government

by removing Department Heads and putting his loyalists in there, and changing the rules those agencies run by. He will destroy Washington DC eventually... And the Republican party will not stop him, he is THEIR GUY, and they are in for all of it full stop.

[yaesu]

14. all of tRumps thugs will be going back home soon for townhalls, its up to us to fill them townhalls

& give them hell.

[deurbano]

15. It's been shocking, angst-producing, beyond depressing to realize how much we've depended on norms,

and how helpless we seem to be when one party amasses so much power and then proceeds to set fire to those norms. (And even takes that reckless approach world-wide.) It's very scary, and if we do manage to survive this, we have to institute REAL protection, with actual laws, not norms that assume some sense of shared humanity and decency... for which we currently have so little evidence.

[DirtEdonE]

17. Why? What is their end game?

One party rule. Dictatorship.

There are too many people on planet earth and they're becoming more and more brown and yellow so they have to consolidate power now before they're hopelessly outnumbered.

I hate to say this and I really hope I'm wrong but if this madman's coup isn't stopped what we're about to see politically, environmentally and socially will make the Holocaust pale in comparison.

How many people will the new rulers need to keep their operation running?

Far fewer than 7 billion and very few of those non-white.
