I've spent the last 24 hrs reading everything I can get my hands on, and sadly

[Ninga]

haven't found anything of great substance to indicate that anyone is going to move on the
Nunes debacle.
Saying he should recuse himself is meaningless if Nunes and the GOP continue to stonewall and ignor.
So Comey is not going to testify- now what?

Who is doing what when? i can't stand this!!!

1. Maybe Putin will decide that he's inconvenient

and it'll sort of sort itself out...

[Girard442]

3. Yeah, send Putin a copy of Donny's top 50 surveillance bloopers.

Ask him if he thinks the world would like to hear them.

[spanone]

2. the pressure is on nunes....we'll see.

[Ninga]

4. Does it ever move from the "we'll see" stage? Right now my feeling is the Dems

are running around in a circle chasing their tails.....who does what, when, and how?

isn't it time for some podium pounding?

[spanone]

6. republicans set the agenda. dems have to take their shots when & where they can.

this so-called administration is only 2months old.

when your opponent is digging a hole, hand him a shovel.

[randome]

5. Just as the GOP couldn't kill health care because of their various factions...

...so, too, there will be just enough Republicans to help turn the tide on this, imo.

And once indictments start to appear, the game will go into high speed.

7. Watergate took a long time to force Nixon out.

This is going to go on for a long time too. The GOP controls congress, which means they control the pace and the form of the investigation.

They are not interested in it, which means that only political pressure will make it happen; political pressure meaning they fear for their jobs. This is a long term thing; the GOP needs to be absolutely convinced that NOT doing a real investigation will hurt them more than doing it.

That's going to take a lot of voters and maybe even some lost seats in 2018. The Democrats absolutely must make this a 2018 election issue---and win by doing so.

8. step away for your own sake.

It's impossible to know what's really going on with incomplete information. Like trying to do a puzzle without all the pieces. I always say, "Let me know when the indictments come down!". The media will spin it both right and left and we can't get the whole story.

Just this morning I watched Lawrence O'Donnell interview from yesterday. He gave some facts and ended with speculation. So nobody really knows everything.

[Ninga]

9. So true. I have to believe that there are millions of us who are desperate for

this to end....no joke.

[CrispyQ]

10. I get discouraged, too, but remember, the asshole hasn't even been in office for 100 days yet.

It took two years to take Nixon down & this is already going faster than that. Also, Trump has pissed off the media, the intelligence community & the military. He may have some supporters in these groups, but not many. And remember, the majority of voting Americans did not vote for this. And we have social media - a great tool to keep informed & fired up & connected.

I call John McCain at least twice a week & plead with him to put country before party & be a hero - be the first repub to step up & do the right thing & take this madman down.

11. and it seems to me Nixon won a landslide before he resigned!

So Donnie is so much the worse. Nixon was finally down to about 25% approval ratings after all that time--and look at how low Donnie is already-- 36%.

Yep--things go faster in this internet age, for sure. And the other thing is that thanks to Nixon, people learned to mis-trust the Presidency and are a lot more cynical now. This is unfortunate for the good ones like Obama who never gave anyone cause, but fortunate in the case of his successor!

12. Senate Intel hearing is Thursday

It should be must see. Senate Intel having a "pre hearing" press conference Weds. afternoon.
Things are moving. Without Nunes.

[jmg257]

13. Don't sweat it. The IC IS doing investigations, and will report on their findings. Plenty of action

can be taken then if warranted.

[Ninga]

14. Working out a plan to only check news 5 times

a day/ instead of every five minutes.
