Slouching Towards Camp David

Reportedly, Republicans have been invited to Camp David for a playdate with Mick Mulvaney and others, including Herr Twittler, we would presume?

No doubt, Agolf Twittler wants something from the Republicans? He wants to be assured that he will not be convicted in a Senate trial.

But, one might think the Republicans might want something in return? They want all the facts from Mulvaney so they can defend Donald Trump without being blindsided by some embarrassing fact.

They should understand that it is a precarious move to meet with Donald Trump, lest they be complicit with an on-going scandal? They know that everything around Donald Trump is corrupted. Just look at his State Department.

Perhaps they can come to an understanding? Do they want this brand of government for the next 5 years? Or would they rather be stable and secure?

They will have no excuses if they do not find out the facts while they are at Camp David. If they choose otherwise, they are complicit in a Russian plot to attack our democracy and do great harm to our country. They need to dig a little deeper in the well and decide which way they want to go?

This is treacherous ground they walk.

who assists me with corner-work when my fighters compete in the Golden Gloves, lives a stone's throw away from this infamous site. I think of it every time I visit him.

3. Personally, I doubt if Republicans are looking for something in return.

Their loyalty is unyielding.

He’s cementing their loyalty, if not by obligation, by coercion. He’s more than desperate now, and pulling out all the plugs. Ethics be damned.

What’s best is that it looks like we may see ( if we’re lucky enough) this whole stinking administration go down the tubes. Or, we’ll all get our sugar rationed, $30 per gallon gas, and $10 per loaf bread as he assumes dictatorial control. I write in jest, but fear the worst.

This election, if at all fair?????? will be without doubt, the most important in the history of America and may come at a cost.

Well done!

The way I see it, this is a indicator that Trump & Co are becoming increasingly concerned with republican Senators saying that the pressure put on Ukraine, including Trump's "perfect" phone call, was not good. It's not just that Trump et al are worried about being impeached by the House ....they do not want the republicans to attempt to compromise with Democrats by way of censuring Trump.

9. they want money and power from the oligarchs they've bred for 50 years

GOPers think they've secured the coup for the oligarchs and think Trump is their connection, through Putin, to those oligarchs. Boiled down, they believe democracy has lost.
