That's what is becoming evident -- that they can see what we see.

The difference is the GOP versus all of the Mad King's handlers and sycophants are in a struggle to see who can hang onto ultimate power the longest. Their fondest wish came true -- to hold all the branches of government at once -- and all of them must fear it slipping from their grasp. When Trump goes, then all of his family will go too. Trump Inc. scarcely wants that to happen. But the longer they all stay, the more damage they do to the country. However, with him gone the "normal" GOP can reconsolidate power, and I think they'd like to do that.

Either way the country is screwed, but maybe we won't get nuked.

Watch what they do, not what they say. pangaia Apr 2017 #1
