A few days ago on DU someone posted something that now makes more sense to me.

The post was about 2 GOP reps who wanted Sessions to be fired. Everyone was happy (the Dems I mean) but whoever wrote the article suggested that this was not good and the GOP reps had bigger plans for this. They wanted Sessions fired so that the Mueller Investigation could be derailed by the GOP more easily.
NOW I see what was going on a little more clearly. This is the plan! Also, Ryan and Nunes being called into meet with Rosenstein...and everything is the same! No one got into trouble. Ryan and Nunes are happy as campers. NOT GOOD NEWS!

Since all the investigations in both chambers are

bogus, what is the point of continuing them? They are completely partisan therefore useless. The GOP members of the committees do whatever they want without consulting the Dems and it is getting worse by the hour.

What can be done? The Dem reps are frustrated and who blames them.
This is why they will never impeach the moron or try using the 25th Amend (his cabinet is as bad as the GOP).
If we don't win in the midterms, this country is toast. Wait, they will interfere in the midterms and cook the books/votes too!

*** 6:15 PST Update...Rachel is doing her whole show about this it turns out!

Sessions will not be able to put the genie back in the bottle

or smoke back into the bong. Once people get something that they like taken away from them it rarely has any chance of going back. This goes for the healthcare/ACA repeal and replace debacle and the GOP is hoping that Americans will forget this when the midterm reelections are at stake. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

CA is fighting back and it is scaring the GOP!

Issa is feeling it, Hunter is too. The GOP is attacking the state and the Resistance efforts are getting stronger. Thanks for adding fuel to the fire and fury guys...brilliant strategy! Your days are numbered! We welcome the midterms.

I had to search for info about the bomb cyclone aftermath

today. If Hillary were in the White House there would be a focus on this and not The Moron, the GOP and their crimes and investigations. Cars are frozen in flooded streets and temps are dropping.

Which would harm the moron the most, laundering money or collusion?

On edit, can he be charged with BOTH treason and conspiracy and/or collusion? People have been charged with more than one crime but which one would stick and he couldn't get pardoned for?

Dem Congressman Swalwell still is pushing for an

Independent Investigation besides Mueller and the Congressional investigations. Rep. Castro, Pelosi and most of the Dems agree. I have been calling for this for over 10 months and believe we need it now more than ever. It would be like the 9/11 investigation (fully funded and staffed, fairly quick, transparent and info given to the public, NON PARTISAN and couldn't be derailed by the GOP). We must have this for the country's future. Laws and constitutional amendments could be written if this disaster is ever cleared up and we must have all the facts if we are to prevent this from happening again, if that is even possible. Our Dem reps have introduced bills in Congress but the GOP won't allow it of course.

Indivisible update 2018 RESIST!

Grass roots efforts are effective and will continue to fight for our country in peaceful, organized and planned actions. We will stay strong!
In 2017, we accomplished so much. We resisted. We organized. We made phone calls. We rallied. We held our elected officials accountable. We won elections. We built power. And we started a movement.

Thanks to the incredible work of Indivisibles across the country, in 2018, we are a force to be reckoned with.
