So, this is like---

---you're at home with your family and all your smoke alarms start shrieking at once, you see smoke billowing under the door and hear the roar of a raging fire down the hall---and you all stand in place while asking if "someone" should call 911 and whether you should leave or wait to see if "everything works out for the best".

---you're at the beach watching a large shark working his way along the shore, devouring toddlers as he goes and you and your companions discuss whether you should sound some type of alarm or just watch what happens since your kids aren't in the water and the shark just may leave.

---you injured your big toe a couple of weeks ago walking barefoot in the park and have watched as infection turned to gangrene and spread to your foot, then your ankle and now your calf. You don't seek medical attention because you've "stubbed your toe before and it always got better".

What needs to be done with Trump is painfully obvious. Not doing it will have dire and long-lasting consequences. "Discussion" has become "dithering".

Call Congress (877) 650-0039.

IT IS WORKING!!!! 93/94 reps on Fri...now TODAY (so far) 106/107 reps support starting an official impeachment inquiry!

Go to town hall over Aug Recess and tell them that this fucking shark, stubbed toe, house fire must stop NOW! Spread the word...RESIST!

Barr, Trumpists and the courts are going to stonewall forever. We need some explosive leaks (taxes, redacted Mueller testimony. etc) to blow this thing open.

With the resignation of Coates and installation of another toadie overseeing Intelligence, we can’t wait for the “process” any longer.
