#1 When you undermine the legitimacy of the government and the appearance of representation, don't be surprise if it all collapses. Are you getting the same advice from Deep State that was caught 'pants down' when the old Soviet Union collapse?

#2 Ref #1: Are you getting the same advice from Deep State that was caught 'pants down' when the old Soviet Union collapse?

An unwillingness to believe. We'll always have Studebakers.

#3 BLUF: This is an attempted palace coup by a self-styled praetorian guard. That our would-be guardsmen are buffoons and incompetents -- Strzok and Ohr rather than Shock and Awe, Shumer instead of Sun Tzu, Brennan instead of Lenin -- is small comfort. The next band of conspirators will learn from these clowns' mistakes and perform the next coup with great skill and subtlety.

It is imperative that the Attorney General and Dunham succeed in getting convictions and prison terms for every performer in this Shitshow: Brennan. Clapper. Comey. The swinging Three's Company trio of Page-McCabe-Strzok. The foreign "plumbers" Steele, Halper and Mifsud. Their co-conspirators Glenn Simpson and his employee Nellie Ohr and her husband Bruce.

And that Clinton and Obama be forced to testify about what they knew and what they ordered as part of this attempted coup.

All of this must come out in a trial at law, because we no longer have a press corps that will honestly, accurately and fairly report any of this.

The only hope for is now resides in the courts.

We are watching the death struggle of the Republic. That it is so ridiculous - a reality-show buffoon vs characters out of a 1960s sitcom parody of spies - should not distract us from the gravity of the event.

David Goldman is right. If this succeeds, we as a democratic republic are f---ed.

There will be no mechanism by which the American people can ensure that the political elite - not just in Congress but across the executive branch, dozens of states and major US cities, and of course their brownshirts across what used to be called the press corps - that these new Jacobins be prevented from continuing the mischief and ruin that they have long perpetrated on us:
Feeding the Chinese crocodile while they line their pockets.
Enabling monopolists and market manipulators to dominate entire sectors of our economy.
Flooding the low end of our labor market with imported helots.
Launching pointless wars without end.
Slandering and silencing anyone they wish by smearing them with false charges of rape, assault, racist behavior, or even thought crimes.

Kill this tendency. Stop this coup. Put the conspirators in prison and expose their puppet masters for all the world to see.

Before it happens again, with truly intelligent and competent leaders directing what will not be a Shitshow but an actual coup.

#4 I agree 100% with the bolded sentence and don't really see why it should be considered a crime. It's not as if Trump was trying to make himself rich or falsify anything.

#5 For the record, I don't care whether there was quid pro quo with Ukraine or not. If President Trump used military aid as a bargaining chip to persuade the government of Ukraine to investigate foreign subversion of our political system, he was doing his job as Commander-in-Chief to protect this country from its external enemies.

I posted the same sentiment here a few days ago. The Democrats make it sound like a terrible, terrible thing but my question is: What law does that violate?
