There are a ton of things one could write about today, settling on one misses another. I’ll mention a few, but feel free to discuss anything out there today or this past week.
Apocalyptic Scenarios
I’ve seen at least three versions of the great apocalypse for the coming year.
1 Donald Trump goes ballistic. The causes vary from scenario to scenario, but needless to say they all end with Donald pressing the button.
2 The fix is in. The Republicans aren’t worried about next years election. The reasons vary from Koch money to Donald Trump calling off the election under some pretense.
3 The Congressional GOP and Trump remove Robert Mueller. Again the scenarios and reasons vary, but the outcome remains the same, Mueller’s investigation is stopped and any findings put aside.
Did I mention that these are scenarios I’ve seen put forward on this site? We’re supposed to be the reality based community and this is what’s being discussed in some of the post. Have I read everything? Of course not, but enough to know there’s been too much discussion here that several years ago we would have laughed off as CT(conspiracy theories). Keep it together guys. It’s one thing to talk behind closed doors about what ifs, but you’re in public here.
Sexual Misconduct
Wow! Here’s a mouth full. Talk about a broad subject. And a hot one. The problem as I see it is no one agrees exactly what it means. Even on Morning Joe today they were expressing concern of where this might go and the possible backlash against women and the increase of it’s use as a political tool. WaPo’s exposure set a template of how these allegations should be handled. Unfortunately that template is mostly going to be ignored in the rush to be first with the latest BREAKING headline of the latest man being accused.
When it comes to accusations in the future I hope we follow a standard suggested by a GOP President most here hold in low regard, Ronald Reagan when he talked about dealing with the Russians;
Trust but verify.
ROBERT MUELLER
Using the latest favorite terminology, there’s a lot to unpack here, so I’m not even going to try. Comment and discuss what you want. Let’s just keep it factual and reality based.
