quote:

Turning and turning in the widening gyre   

The falcon cannot hear the falconer; 

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; 

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, 

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere   

The ceremony of innocence is drowned; 

The best lack all conviction, while the worst   

Are full of passionate intensity. 


Surely some revelation is at hand; 

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.   

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out   

When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi 

Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert   

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,   

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,   

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it   

Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.   

The darkness drops again; but now I know   

That twenty centuries of stony sleep 

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,   

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,   

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Watergate was full of interesting maneuvers by corrupt politicians. This is just monkeys playing with poop on camera, and yet we'll have this recorded with tweets and Facebook posts in the historic archives for the next hundred years. (Assuming we make it that far)

If this poo poo turns into an independent investigation directly into trump and his inner circle he is toast.

E: democrats unanimously saying they will block any appointment of a new FBI director pending the congressional appointment of a special prosecutor to continue the trump investigation.

I don't believe that Flynn flipped. I think that he just got very slowly massaged over a decade plus until it snowballed to something large enough that he was hosed. It certainly started small and built up over time. It doesn't change the good that he did before it all went to hell.

At least that's the best story I can come up with to make you feel better.

Filibuster was already dead for non-supreme court appointees. There's nothing that could have been done to stop Gorsuch or anyone else at all. The filibuster is and has been dead and will not be coming back.

The only way to stop appointment of anyone right now is if a few republicans senators say no.

Absolutely. The entire country needs to see what the Republican Party has wrought, and what we ourselves have wrought through lovely political tactics.

Not to start a whole, "This is why Hillary lost," thing, but... it wasn't just the selling out of our country to Russia. We have ignored a huge segment of our population that, for one reason or another, he spoke to. You can't just campaign in certain areas and expect a win. You have to speak to the whole goddamn country and tell them - and do - things for them that help them.

Messaging - it's also why the ACA was raged against. Not just because it was a Black Democrat, but people seriously thought the ACA and Obamacare were different things. As stupid as those people may be, those people also vote.

On top of that, people need to take what happens from here, and make their politicians pay for it. The ones who are defending this, as obvious as this is as a Big Deal, and trying to downplay it... they need to pay.

Again, I expect little of this to come to pass... But it goddamn well should.

It's a simple message but lmao it won't stick because trumpsters won't let it stick and noone opposing Trump on the republican side has enough guts to make it happen.

Lmao if Dems get control of the Senate and House in the midterms though, then there will be much blood.

From what I've heard from my relatives he was fired because he didn't prosecute Hillary over EMAILS so they seem to be out in front of it already. The brainwashing is done, nothing will change their minds.

Schumer is going to rile up Dems about this comey firing and I'm sure they'll be trying to find weak republicans to flip in order to demand an independent investigation into the Trump administration. I have no idea how this is going to pan out because it's going to be hard to get middle of the road repubs to put action to their disapproval of Trump.

23 dems, 8 republicans, and 2 independents are up for election in the senate in 2018. The republicans are Jeff Flake - Arizona, Roger Wicker - Mississippi, Deb Fischer - Nebraska, Dean Heller - Nevada, Bob Corker - Tennessee, Raphael Cruz - Texas, Orrin Hatch - Utah, John Barrasso - Wyoming.

There are a lot of dems up, though, that come from republican leaning states. There is real risk of a republican supermajority in 2018.

No the AG and DAG letters specifically said that Comey overstepped his authority by saying there would be no prosecution and that the case was closed. It was wrong to have a press conference about any of it, and these actions erode the faith in the office.

Like seriously, that's the reason.
