I don't know about you, but I'm not getting tired of winning, and by winning, I mean watching tRump lose. When will SCOTUS hand him his 3rd loss by ordering Deutsche Bank to show us his tax returns?

one more loss in a huge string of losses in the last week for trump.

trumps one victory seems to be the firing of Berman and the cover up.

He isn't going anywhere as of right now. And even if he does go, he isn't going quietly.

don't get me wrong, I'm glad Berman is fighting it. He just can't control the senate. mcconnell will be sure to screw us over.

I do expect patriotic American Civil Servants to stand up to him and say what is right and what is wrong.

This is one more piece of resistance in a long chain that will pull us over the finish line.

If nothing else, he didn't get away with hiding it in a Friday news dump.

BTW is anyone here interested in buying two bridges that I am selling? One is near Brooklyn, NY and the other is near San Francisco and has a stunning view of the bay and ocean.

And Berman refused to resign. He's not out yet and can still do some damage while he's there.

As in, it was already in the hands of the media, who are writing stories about it, and detailing Trump's corruption and treason that Bolton is talking about.

This was an attempt to prevent Bolton from making money from it. And, frankly, who cares if he doesn't.

for not waiting for the very long-delayed decision on the "classification review."

Not that I'm weeping too much for him.

the classification review was completed, and then the NSA personally stepped in (at someone's direction?) and required a new review.

I don't know if he will win, but there will be a fight.

I like that he's finally opening his mouth and saying something, but he's still a traitor for waiting for so long. So are the rest of the cowards that have finally turned on OrangeAss.

Maybe Bolton's book will accomplish what the sham Senate impeachment trial never could, and finally remove Trump from the white house in November.
