Before Trump even won, Paul Ryan and others were caught on camera talking about how connected people like Trump and Dana Rohrabacher were to the Russians. They claim it was a joke but even then it wasn't funny. And with what has come out, it seems they may have been right. The Dallas Morning News made a serious claim that hasn't been all the reported by anyone else, which is odd, because if this story is true, the entire GOP apparatus is a Russian tool. Worse, this column originally came out in August. In it, they claim, people like Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and John McCain all took money from a Ukrainian oligarch with close ties to Putin. How is this fucking possible? Why isn't this everywhere?
But as the media is bought and paid for by big interests we only get the news they decide we can get. Stories like this get buried. I would know because when I worked for the MSM I watched them bury stories they didn't like, mainly because they story would implicate someone the newspaper or network had close personal ties to. It's why CBS gave us Benghazi, trying to sell a book, helped destroy evidence in the shootdown of TWA 800 and sent a whistleblower to the wolves after it was discovered their story about Big Tobacco would hurt their bottom dollar. CBS news is terrible. Fox lately is even worse.
Fox News is now officially State TV. They have become so unwatchable, I find CNN more likable lately. Fox and Friends might as well be called the Goebells Hitler Hour for all the crap they peddle. The three morons on there whose combined IQ wouldn't reach double digits, actually debated what Trump was possible going to be impeached for, a stunning lack of self awareness in this case. There is ample evidence at this point that he colluded with the Russians, along with major members of the GOP, to overthrow the government and install a fascist state, which is where we are headed and the long term goal for factions of the GOP since the 30's, when they actually tried it and failed. If you can't see that Trump is almost certainly guilty of major crimes against the country and even the world, you are a special kind of stupid.
The good news is that a majority of this country sees that now and even his supporters are starting to come around to that fact. Recent polls show that almost 60% think the president is guilty of some sort of crime and his poll numbers are falling just like I predicted. I said the GOP had six months to a year to show they were acting in good faith and have so far failed miserably. Their tax bill is set to pass this week and with it the anger of most Americans is going to rise. As many as three quarters of the country hate this plan. It's negatives are twice what Obamacare was and we all remember what happened in 2010. This is going to be like that, except on steroids.
Republicans are terrified after seeing the same numbers I am. Democrats taking over all of Congress has risen to as high 15 points higher than the GOP. This means the chances for them taking the House are really high, as history says the GOP is about to get walloped. The democrats are beyond energized at this point while rank and file Republicans aren't. They stayed home in Alabama or voted third party, giving them their first liberal senator in 25 years. Considering that the GOP is repeating the same exact mistakes from previous elections, where if they had run better candidates, they would have a 57 seat majority. But because of people like Christine O'Donnell, Todd Akin and Sharon Angle, they lose seats they should have taken, just like Roy Moore. Now, they are doing the same thing running Roy Moore-like candidates in places like Virginia, Arizona and Nevada. Good luck with that. Word is because the Democrats have decides to run EVERYWHERE, the GOP is going to have to pick and choose which races to go with. States like here in MA are a solid loss for the Republicans. I am going to have a hard time not beating the shit of someone with an anti-Warren sign or shirt which should tell you how ugly thus next race is going to get in blue states. GOP idiots are going to be run out on a rail in many places.
The race hasn't even begun in Virginia and the GOP is already showing signs of surrender. The two running in that primary have NO chance of winning and they know it. Both are anti-gay, anti-Muslim right wing loons that face Tim Kaine, a guy I don't like at all and even I would vote for him if I lived there. Politics do not matter in this next election. If the person has a D next to their name, they get my vote. Everyone else, including most likley Gov. Baker who I like but is a Republican, the heave ho. The amount of bodies that could be left in that wake could be catastrophic for the GOP.
For the first time in decades, EVERY representative in Texas will face a challenger so maybe we can get people like Louis Golmert out of there. Ted Cruz and Thad Cochran are both vulnerable in deep south states, with Cochran lasting all of next year, let alone running again down the road, seemingly slim. His health is piss poor and that could even lead to a special election. As the other seat is open this year which means, if we add in the fact that John McCain is likley to also not be in Congress much longer, the democrats face the possibility of two open seats in both Arizona and Mississippi. If they run awful candidates, and are already in Arizona, with front runner Kelli Ward, basically Roy Moore in a dress, a good chance of picking all four seat up. The Senate wasn't in play until Roy Moore lost. Once he did, all bets were off. The Democrats have a better than average chances of capturing the Senate and a near certainty of getting the House. When that tax plan blows up in their face, which it will, everybody who voted for that is going down, just like what happened with Obamacare, and that was twice as popular as this bill. People are going to be pissed that their health care is going to get more expensive, no jobs are going to be created (the opposite actually as new money will lead to automation and stock buybacks not salaries), and some will see their taxes go UP. Yeah good luck with that.
I was worried that Trump might fire Mueller but word is he thinks he is innocent and it is only a matter of time before he is exonerated. Talk about delusional. He must think that Fox and Friends is right about everything. That is funny. The opposite is most likely where the investigation is going to trap a lot of people into criminal charges or end of career situations. Either way, the GOP is going down next year, by the ballot box or by Mueller, most likely both. 2018 is going to be a very interesting year. Buckle up America, it is going to be a bumpy ride.
