92. People shrug. As long as the economy is going well and people are tuning out right now...

Jul 2019

nothing will change. Most people are enjoying summer and don't know what's going on. They don't care. Maybe the Dems should have waited until September 1 to have this hearing.

It all went downhill when Barr gave his lie-filled report. That set the narrative and the media ran with it.

I think it's over and we will have to accept that The Occupant will continue to get away with everything...and will likely be reelected.
