To keep a pyramid scheme going...

don't you need a constant flow of new incoming cash? So have the US taxpayers become the next "investors"?

Well on this one you scooped Rachael Maddow.

I listen to the podcast of her show last night and she couldn't figure out why. She kept making the point that 45 has the right to fire but she did not scope this out for a reason. She had a guest on who didn't specifically pin point this either.

I kept thing to myself the best explanation is Bharara must have something on Trump in the pipeline.

I would add one point they want the poor to work AND

pay into Social Security and Medicare until they prematurely die. Leaving their SS and Medicare money unclaimed. Waiting for the time when the repugs can pillage it.

Time to purge ideologues from the national media.

The Hannity's and Limbaugh's have done more to damage our country than any Muslim citizen. They do it through constant barrage of lies and conspiracy theories. We have all heard the saying "let God sort out the good and evil". I hope theses haters will finally have to account for their hate filled rhetoric.

Ok maybe a really dumb question but....

.... if Trump is guilty of some illegal activity that got him elected POTUS why wouldn't Pence be tainted? Fruit of the poison tree? The were elected as a ticket right? Two sides of the same coin? Then by extension why would the republicans still hold the WH at all? Anyone...?

It is about maintaining a numerical advantage at the poll booths

Look at what they have done over the last 10 years. Voter suppression any way they can. Voter ID. Purging voters off the rolls. Gerrymandering districts to insure republican voting advantages. Flipping votes. And now apparently getting foreign hacking to advantage the republican ticket.

IMO these are a must read. And it explains why republicans are winning elective seats. Efficiency Gap.

Efficiency Gap.
