Worms Turn
Isn’t it ironic that the worm turned in a town called Helsinki….when Trump was summoned by Putin for the private shakedown and blackmail power point presentation. The body language of the two was so plain to see as they approached the podiums. Putin stood erect with a smirk on his face as Trump looked defeated and frightened as he praised Putin’s strength as a total supplicant. None of us can unsee the mask being removed in front of the whole world for those several minutes. Even the Trump Dead Enders have that image burned into their brains — even if they deny it to themselves. I say the Worm Has Turned….Trump will not be running for President in 2020. Either he will make a deal of some kind to agree not to run and go quietly, or resign with a Pardon from the last one left in succession when the dust settles — probably third in line — Orrin Hatch?
We have reached the point in the arc of human relations where brute force stops working, and the Republicans can always be counted on to push their agenda way too far and hard. It’s No Longer OK If You’re A Republican — INLOKIYAR - to not protect and defend the Constitution. They all take that Oath — the Oath must be real — it is not fake news. They Must represent US….not just plutocrats.
My opinion is that we must politically fight to protect our country. I think that there will be a big change and both the House and Senate will flip to Democrat — but only if we get out there and vote. I do not think Putin will actively interfere with the election. They will troll and be active on the internet, but do nothing big to interfere. Been there done that — Trump is losing his value and use to Putin, so why take the risk of blowback. But the Republicans cheat any which way they can.
I think the Kavanaugh nomination will be withdrawn — probably this weekend. The Republicans may not be able to get another nominee confirmed either. If they do ram a crook onto the Supreme Court, there is absolutely no reason not to impeach that Justice. Also, Justice Thomas is 70 years old and does not look all that healthy. I think he will probably be replaced in 5 years or so, so everybody stop crying about how the Supreme Court could be lost for generations. BS — we must keep fighting.
All this will take millions of people voting for Democrats and then pressuring them to do the right thing. First and foremost, stop the Republican agenda to serve the Oligarchs. People Power is real, but it will take smart and brave and aggressive actions like Doctor Ford and many more. We’ll see.
