russia loves you cosmic. putin loves all republicans.

but it is not a sincere love, the kind that warms.

no. he loves you because america is only as strong as it's weakest
team member.

that's why he's promoting your ass-man in charge.

because your fear weakens what could be a great and thus competitive nation.

ignorant and scared prey are simple targets.
and putin is a smart man. he chooses the
easiest path to his personal gain.

"How to hobble this fool" - Pray for indictments. Pray hard. Because, yes, the stress is ticking away at his timer.

How to mitigate the damage already done on the world stage is another matter, and not one limited to the US. It's been shown that the same strategy that swung the 2016 election was behind Brexit and the Catalonian separation. And the workings behind that strategy has come from Russia.

But back to hobbling the fool in our corner, and the McNasties who are the secret sauce of his Big Nothingburger, this guy has been doing a great job of driving donations and support to Blue candidates. Sadly, it is money that makes the difference, so the ore of it they have to sling the mud and present themselves as outfitted with a golden halo, the better. Look for his Go.Fight.Win posts to see what's happening

Elections are ten months and some change away. Flip congress, control committees, and stifle appointments: that’s our best hope for change.

Going to need a combination of fresh perspective and youthful energy AND people who have been there, done that, and know how the hellhole is put together. And people who are able to see what the GOP is gong to do to remain in the lead. You can bet it is NOT going to be any same old, same old OR "Follow the footsteps of Dear Leader."

Damage control is about the only goal the Dems can hope to accomplish if they regain a majority.. it's going to be the same power brokers dictating American social and economic policy regardless of which party is in power...The only difference being the dems won't screw it up as bad as the repubs...

It is easy to forget that money is a surrogate. A billion dollars does not buy an election. Money buys volume of VOICE. However, it is VOTES that determine elections. Focusing solely on money, misses the lesson of Alabama, where it was community organizing by non-traditional players that won the election, not money.

The sordid cycle of history necessitates that Trump be recognized as a recycled version of Petronius Maximus.

For starters, compare the cognomen, Petronius Maximus, with its cognate:

Trumpianus Maximus - - - which literally translates as, "Trump is the world's biggest as#@&%e"

Like Petronius, Trump came to political power through inherited wealth, deceit, skullduggery, a gullible public and old-fashioned palace intrigue. Petronius fabricated imaginary plots against the Emperor Valentinian III, and used the subsequent executions of high officials to goad their supporters into murdering the emperor himself. Trump's rise to power depended on fabricated campaign lies, imaginary plots and deceiving the public regarding his true intentions.

Both Petronius and Trump were unqualified for the highest office in their respective lands. Both committed astonishing blunders that were of the greatest detriment to the citizens they were supposed to be protecting.

In a manner surprisingly, and alarmingly, similar to Trump's foreign policy decisions, Petronius unilaterally canceled an important political treaty with a foreign leader - Vandal King Genseric - which directly led to the death of Petronius at the hands of enraged Roman citizens, and with the Vandals sacking and pillaging Rome.

Before King Genseric and his marauding troops left Rome with everything of value that could be carried off, Genseric ensured that the Petroniusly-cancelled political agreement would be fulfilled as originally agreed upon: Genseric's son was married to Valentinian's daughter.

A few weeks into the new presidential term, Stephen Colbert said in his monolog, "The news from each day makes me feel like I'm riding on a roller coaster, where every morning I wake up and I want to throw up."

That pretty much sums my last year.

Just wait.

Trump hasn't even gotten his boner on.

Next year will be more of the same, but even worse.

Unless he is stopped, Trump's hubris and sense of omnipotence will increase, and he will become more and more Caligular.

There has to be a nationwide effort for citizens to gain control of both houses of Congress, so that the options of impeachment and removal of office are available. Right now, those options are unavailable, because the GOP has no concern for the nation, outside of their own tiny group of campaign financiers.

We need to do this now, before Trump successfully achieves his demented fantasy of becoming an Armeggedon-igniting Anti-Christ character, as depicted in the New Testament.
