At least I sure hope we've learned our lesson by now.

This new crop with our many new female legislators esp are not going to let the old guard get away with making peace "to heal the nation" or be "bi partisan" and make concessions if we win enough seats. No, not this time around even if they were so inclined but I don't think they are.

They well remember what happened last time and it has almost ended democracy as we know it. This time we need to jail as many traitors as exist or at least bring charges and enact every progressive piece of legislation possible and especially those needed to bring back voting rights and somehow put an end us being ruled by a minority. It's either that or we are doomed.

As a Security Manager in a previous life, if I had marked something as classified as a means to hide it, there's a good chance I would have ended up in Leavenworth.

People have gone to fucking jail for doing this.

We'd better kick the living shit out of the GOP this November...in massive numbers...or this country is finished!

There's also got to be no "Kum baya" bullshit either. Quite a few of these fuckers need to be thrown not in prison, but under the prison.

I want Retrumplicans to have to flee to Argentina, just like the Nazis, and then I want a group of courageous people to dedicate their lives to tracking them down and bringing them to justice.

I want not one moment of peace for these fucksticks.

Not any individual or political party.

It would just break my heart if Pence got busted. Prison on the island of Cuba might give Casper some color. He needs to stop those Clorox showers.

And that he will be under big pressure NOT to read the letter, but his second step would be to read it into the record.

...it's criminal. The person/people ordering it classified should be suspended until - hopefully - they are sentenced.

Nobody in this treacherous administration will. Trump's GOP henchmen won't.

The only way to get this corruption exposed is to LEAK it.
