Looks like Trump is beginning his coup.

[Kablooie]

Giving Barr carte blanche access to all classified information will allow them to create a false narrative that criminalizes the Democrats he considers enemies. Who knows, Barr may even have them arrested.
This will create chaos of course but that's exactly the atmosphere that Trump functions best in. He is expert at turning chaos to his own advantage.

Now that his financial details are about to be exposed he is cornered and we always knew that when cornered he will be at his most dangerous. We may be entering the end game where Trump pulls out all the stops to try for a coup of the US government in order to save himself.

I hope the Dems are prepared for this.
It may get pretty scary.

1. Trump really, really wants to be a dictator

and he has an entire party enabling his sick, ranting ass

[spanone]

17. an entire party AND the entire Justice department.

[Mister Ed]

2. I think that's exactly what he's attempting. n/t

[emmaverybo]

3. He can, will do all kinds of shady stuff. We have survived as a democracy this far. With awareness,

and while working to make a more perfect state, we will continue.
Nixon was smarter, trickier, and sent thousands to their death in escalating and expanding
the Vietnam war,. He also committed treason during his campaign.
Stay strong. Bon courage.
Trump and his will get theirs.

11. Remember thou the only ones buying that shit are the 30% that are as crazy as the dotard

Those idiots cannot will not be swayed. They believe their fearful leader

[Leith]

5. Leave that extreme stuff to the rooskies

They have such a long history of coups, dictators, arresting political "enemies," failing economies, and chaos. Americans like calm prosperity and won't go for it.

We can stop with the fearmongering now or I will taunt you a second time-uh.

[Kablooie]

10. Unless 20 Senate Republicans turn on Trump I'm sure there will be an attempt.

And without those 20 Republicans it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to stop him no matter what Americans like.

[DFW]

13. And there lies the rub

There aren't 20 Republican Senators who are in no one's pocket, and who care more about the country than their net worth.

[standingtall]

20. I think theoretically there is another way but it's pretty ugly

States like California and New York could have real leverage if they were to threaten to leave the union. Both large enough and well financed enough to fund their own military's. What would the rest of America do if that were to happen? Go to war to get them to rejoin I doubt it, because I'm pretty sure they would have their own nuclear weapons.

6. It looks like he's trying to give away intelligence secrets to Russia again

[Meowmee]

7. I think it began nov 8 2016

I can hardly believe any of this is happening. It is surreal. Agree with the comments here. How much is going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about.

14. That evening, before turning on the TV

I asked my wife, not really imagining yet that Hillary would not take office, "Want to watch the end of American democracy?" By the end of the evening that felt prescient. And I also felt the Russians were behind it. All sheer gut feeling at the time...

[Meowmee]

15. Yeah me as well

I knew something was terribly wrong.

[Progressive Jones]

8. It won'[t stop until Trump is forced to fear for his freedom. nt

[Grasswire2]

9. Tonight's action is denounced as the stuff of a POLICE STATE...

....by people who know what police states are.

[zaj]

12. And a failed impeachment effort will vindicated his "innocence"...

... and if that leads to his victory in 2020, we would likely lose the house too.

If that happens (having already crossed huge ethical lines to gain power) Republicans will go ape-shit and dismantle the last mechinisms of balanced democracy.

[BSdetect]

19. The time for action from within the IC is here.

This is Putin's plan to make drumph a dictator.

Its a win win for him.

[triron]

23. My thinking as well.

[triron]

22. Not Beginning. Putting fisnishing touches.

[samnsara]

24. lets hope this is one of those times they give lip service to him to shut him up

...knowing what hes requested is either illegal or political suicide
