Right before our eyes

Last edited Sun Jan 8, 2017, 08:29 PM - Edit history (1)

The GOP is going to approve every corrupt, incompetent official Trump has nominated without vetting or a proper hearing.
And once in, there is no authority or agency that will do anything about them.
They will have carte blanche to do anything they want.

"Don't you understand, what I'm trying to say?
And can't you feel the fears I'm feeling today?

If the button is pushed, there's no running away,
There'll be no one to save with the world in a grave,

Take a look around you, boy, it's bound to scare you, boy,
And you tell me over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the eve of destruction."

While the dems stand around and chortle about winning the popular vote, the GOP is finaggling right now on how to flip a few more state legislatures and then call a convention. They lied, cheated and stole to get this power. They aren't giving it up easily and sadly, the dems haven't had any fight for decades.

It's not...it's a street fight and the Thugs have knives and will cheat and it's a fight till the death....and the Dems want to stand and discuss then the rules of the knife fight as they are being stabbed...

...would Republicans want a proper hearing or a proper vetting?...a proper hearing or a proper vetting would just expose the obvious...

...and since when hasn't trump or the GOP been corrupt?...some Americans apparently love corruption...
