In reply to the discussion: Adam Schiff is sounding the alarm about the House Intelligence Committee investigation [View all]Juliusseizure
(562 posts)Trump, the GOP, and the right wing media are now aggressively attacking the FBI and Mueller.
Any day now, Trump can attempt to fire Mueller by firing Rosenstein and on down.
Meanwhile, we sit passively in fear-the same fear we've had for a year of Trump, of Russia, of the end of democracy, as the GOP enables and coddles Trump - Sessions/Trump doing nothing to prevent future Russian interference.
What's Schiff saying between the lines. The GOP and TRUMP are actively trying to stop the investigation. So the alarm is sounded. AND OBAMA sounded the alarm
Too. The question is ...WHAT NOW?
If the shoe were on the other foot, GOP leaders and mass media would threaten holy war. They would be all over media issuing warnings. There would be more than an implied threat of violence.
BUT the shoe is always on the dem foot. AND WE COWER BY COMPARISON. Schiff twisting in the wind - sounding the alarm by himself FRIGHTENS ME.
I'D RATHER HAVE A COORDINATED ATTACK BY THE LEADERSHIP because that's where we're at.
The GOP is a dying party with a criminal president, and their fear and desperation are resulting in egregious, flagrant acts intent to control the govt.
Take a step back. They're/TRUMP's actions this year are FAR FAR BEYOND all boundaries of ethics. Dems are now the enemy of the state. Excuse me but fuck that. I thought I had freedoms to hold political beliefs without the President and GOP labeling me as an enemy. Bashing my party daily and me as a member. We snicker and tolerate it, BUT ITS AN ASSAULT on democracy and democrats and ME. Even the tax bill punishes blue states. Are you fucking kidding me?
I'm begging dem leadership, a united Dem front, not just Adam Schiff, to FORCEFULLY STATE THAT THIS COERCED INTIMIDATION OF AN INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR AND ATTEMPT TO OBSTRUCT LAWFUL PROCESS, WITH DIRE NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS, AND DEMOCRACY AT STAKE CANNOT STAND.
I know MANY MANY DEMS with my same grave concerns and I'm FUCKING TIRED OF THIS TRUMPIAN/GOP THREAT BEING A CAUSE OF ANXIETY and FEAR.
Again taking a step back - WHY THE FUCK DO I/WE NEED TO LIVE IN FEAR OF THIS PIG TRUMP AND CONSPIRING GOP FOR ONE MORE SECOND? DO THEY CONTROL THE ARMY YET?
