Thumbs up Go Sally!

Exposed Trump administration lies, made mincemeat of sleazy Ted Cruz, among other Repubes. I won't even bother to see how Fox "News" is spinning this.

The Trumkins won't care, they are immune to facts.

We'll see if Lindsey Graham is indeed willing to investigate the Russia connection as Cruz, Cornyn and Grassley seem unwilling to do. Yates embarrassed all three of them today after they had already embarrassed themselves.

Trump must be humiliated until he admits he's beat. Only that will destroy the follower's belief in the 'big man.'

Hitler had diehard followers to the end because even when the Russians were taking Berlin apart, he never admitted he was beat.

Will they still be Trump believers when they lose their health care, and the wall still hasn't been built?

Mostly, as long as Trump puts up a front and tells them all problems are the fault of enemies and traitors.

Most of the Big Bosses of the last century kept the loyalty of their followers and held onto power until death. This is true of Stalin, Franco, and Mao. It only had be to shown that Hitler had survived the 'Operation Valkyrie' assassination attempt, and that attempted coup was finished. Only Mussolini lost popularity and power, and that was when Italy's armed forces were reduced to total impotence in the face of imminent allied invasion, and the country was occupied from top to bottom by the troops of a foreign power (Germany).

I hope Trump will prove vulnerable if it is shown that he collaborated with a foreign enemy of the US, but I'm not counting on it. Like I said, I think the only thing that breaks the spell, short of his death, is if he gets overwhelmed by circumstances and admits defeat.

Yeah, I keep having these bouts of optimism in my fellow man. I need to go re-read that Jim Jones book to get a grip on just how evil power-mad leaders can be, and how utterly stupid their followers...

I have no hope for a Trump impeachment anymore after the way the members lined up behind him for his new Healthcare Act.

My hope is in the closer the midterms are the less power he will have over those who choose to run as so called Republican. Giving power to the opposition and all the free advertisement, sound bites much like the hearing yesterday and the signing photo in the rose garden.
