Where do we go from here?

Our party is the punching bag for drumpf and his minions. The media gives him free press to rant and rave nonstop. One thing I like about AOC is that she will punch back at him, and that he can't take. I know our party is working to get somethings done but it is taking too long and a lot of our base is getting frustrated. We do not have one hearing that exposes Individual 1's corrupt behavior. Everything is blocked and ignored without consequences. America is in the ICU and the diagnosis is not promising. Where do we go from here? The speaker needs to give a major speech to the base to reassure us that there is hope.

If someone has answers to the path we are on, please post. I need a shot of adrenalin today.

Nancy needs some help. We may have to put his picture on a milk carton.

should NOT remain silent on anything and keep on punching him down.

Now he is going after 4 Congresswomen??? WTF?

Telling them to go back where they came from??? That is getting kinda of old isn't it? aren't we all immigrants??

It feels like our system only works when everyone agrees on basic things.

Like laws being, well, binding and actually a thing.

Every time I think we hit bottom, they dig a lower bottom and it seems that everyone shrugs and says, well, guess that's the bottom now...repeat every day.

Fight for 2020.

That seems like the most realistic option - Impeachment seems like a hazy dream today.

I'm not confident that a party that is willing to punt this criminal administration off to the voters in 2020, has a plan B if, 1) he refuses to leave the office in spite of a dem win, 2) the dems lose the WH & House with glaring election irregularities.

There's no way he goes quietly - even with a landslide defeat, he spends the rest of his life sniping and trolling.

Trump voted out of office. Democrats were handed the house to investigate Trump and his minions and get the truth out to the masses. I am becoming disappointed with the leadership and find myself siding more and more with the AOC and the other progressive Congresswomen. Trump needs to be smacked down on a regular basis and in a way that makes him look totally stupid. He can't stand it when people fight back and one of his biggest fears is being ridiculed.
