Nothing further to gain

Putin got everything he wanted from Helsinki. Why in the world would he want to open himself up to further confrontations like he had with Chris Wallace? Someone he can’t safely have eliminated.

That Trump issued the invitation and has now had it rejected makes Trump look even weaker than he looked immediately post-Helsinki.

Come on Mueller! Drop your bombs! He’s got blood in his eyes and he’s staggering.

I hope you're right?

I waver between thinking that he and his enablers will get away with it all.

Then I think that there are still serious people that give a shit in the world and that those people will not rest until these criminals go down.

Which will it be?

I think the former is far more likely than the latter.

What I am convinced of is that the latter must happen for our country as we have known it is finished.

If Trump and his enabler‘s are not brought to justice then that means that we have an explicit two-tiered justice system where the rich and the powerful can essentially get away with anything. While the poor, the middle class, and the utterly destitute will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for even made up charges.

Thank you

Wow. Didn’t know any of that. Already one of my favorite movies. Will watch now with more understanding.

You’ve made a great movie even better.

Thank you.

Shocked!

I’m shocked. I was so confident that Trump, through the sheer force of his magnificent personality and his great, well educated brain that has all the best words, had succeeded where legions of professional diplomats had failed that I’m simply stunned.

Could this mean that nothing was accomplished but raising the status of North Korea while making huge concessions that harm us and our allies and benefit China and North Korea?

How can this be?😱

I will be comforted when...

we can pry their cold dead hands off all the levers of power.

This won’t be over until the good people in our nation can amass enough power to be able to go through our compromised judiciary and root out all of the right wing fascist judicial activists dispensing injustice.

Flipping seats is just a small beginning. These barbarians need to be exiled to the farthest political reaches and never be allowed back in to govern.

And...nothing will be done about it...

So, we have an illegitimate president in office who seems bent on becoming a dictator and his party has turned into a slavish cult that will take no steps against his illegitimate regime.

Happy 4th of July😡

This is how it is done

She spoke calmly and without violence with a quiet, unmistakable sincerity.

This is one of our fellow citizens taking action when action must be taken.

This is what has to be done. Let's dispense with all talk of civility. This is civil protest. She was polite. She did not shriek or scream or rage or curse.

There was nothing Pruitt could do but flee like the coward that he is.

Absolutely

Trump is committing crimes against humanity. This is where he will be called to justice. I hope sooner rather than later.
