The relationship between the repubs and donald is part simbiotic, part parasitic, and it will continue as is for as long as it works for them. If this Russia thing ever gets to the point where they just CAN'T ignore it anymore, maybe things will change.

The resistance seems to be having some small victories. We need to keep up the pressure, even as we collapse from the mental exhaustion.

I don't remember a time in my life when I wake up every. single. morning. wondering what our asshole leader has done to mess up the world. I feel like I'm going to barf 24/7.

Trump is a puppet. Bannon or Kushner, Trump's masters, shove paper in front of him, and he signs it when Bannon or Kushner tell Trump to scratch it. There's a mutual deal between GOPe and Bannon and Kushner: "You take your take; we take our take." Eventually both partner groups will have stolen enough. Their laziness will meet the law of diminishing returns, and then they'll dump Trump like a spent voodoo doll.

the word " could " is like the word " compromise " ...neither can be found in the official republican dictionary.

Well, I never said they would. I only said they could.

In reply to Our winter began November

Frederick Douglass knew that his battle was not the end of the war

Booker T Washington knew there were more battles to fight

W.E.B. DuBois knew there were ongoing battles

Martin Luther King Jr. knew more trials would come

Obama had to show his full form birth certificate

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act

Republicans cheered when Obama was humiliated and voting suppression became law. They are not coming to help us. As Trump notes, we are the enemy. Conservatives/ Evangelicals like Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt warned about the danger of Trump before the election. Now both men talk about Trump as the only hope to save the country from the Liberals. Both men demonize Liberals. The Conservatives are not going to break from Trump if it means e mpowering Liberals.

Sorry, but republicans in Congress are hedging their bets by using blind eyes and deaf ears when it comes to what Trump does because they see him as the kingpin letting them create legislation to undo all democrat legislation and the social safety net since FDR and the New Deal.

Our only hope is for the shadow elite/deep state to flex their muscle and puts Trump in his place. They're nothing more than federal workers of all ethnic class and political ideologies who work for specific government functions dasey-chained to one another to provide a smooth transition for the government to function.

Another way of saying it is the shadow elite/deep state is form of an unelected democracy and hold some specific traditions and values that represents the face of the nation and they have subtle power to flex and tweak policy that is more inline with the model of government everyone expects.

They're our only hope to keep Trump at bay until Congress wakes up and start to exercise their constitutional duties and check Trump's excesses.

Our winter began November 18th.

This week we hit the 40's & even 50.

The roads are clear and most alleys passable although paths are still icy.

It will rain today.

Later this week we will be back in the low 20's.

I had the flu since Wednesday. Sicker than a dog. Stayed in bed.

Sunday I woke up a little dizzy but then as the day progressed I felt all this energy.

One cannot appreciate Spring without a terrible winter.

One cannot appreciate health without some illness.

One cannot really appreciate a feast without some previous fasting.

One cannot appreciate relative peace without some war.

One cannot appreciate a bit of progress without experiencing some recession.

One cannot appreciate a fine orator and a fine thinker and a fine gentleman at the helm of our great country without experiencing a buffoon at that same helm.

The dems will survive and then revive.

There certainly were voters in four or five key states who were not pleased with the progress seen under the Obama Administration.

Critics from the Left did abound.

Maybe millions of dems will finally see how good things actually were; especially taking into consideration the actions of the repubs in Congress and elsewhere.

Maybe the voters will wake up in two years? Maybe they will vote the repub bastards out of Congress and state legislatures.

Maybe we will experience 2006 all over again.

Who knows?

Yes, there is much we can do

In reply to They will not save us,

Yes, there is much we can do to show the size and scope of our resistance. Meanwhile, the Republicans can either make sure we get nowhere--which they can do readily--or they can see the handwriting on the wall and work to save the country from every wacky thing Trump comes up with. In the end no matter what WE do, the fall of Trump is up to them.

They will not save us,

They will not save us, impeachment hearings won't begin until January of 2019. John McCain, Lindsey Graham, not saviors. They have voted with Trump so far what is it 100%, and only 94% for McCain. The work is just beginning. It is going to take work to make sure 2018 will be positive for Democrats at all levels of government. Join your local indivisible group to resist.
