Assuming the two Independents (King and Sanders) retain their seats and continue to caucus with the Dems, the Dems have to pick up 3 seats from the GOP to flip control of the Senate. But only 8 GOP Senate seats are in play in the midterms, versus 23 Dem seats. Worse, only 2 of those GOP seats are in any real danger, while 10 of the Dem seats are in states that went to Trump last year. The math doesn't look promising, indeed things could go badly for the Dems.<br /><br />Even if by some miracle the Dems got control of the Senate, impeaching Trump would require the agreement of a 2/3 majority of senators. If that happens, I also expect to see a lot of pigs flying!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-61478414504840885032017-09-22T10:18:26.614-04:002017-09-22T10:18:26.614-04:00It's a Democratic conspiracy to avenge Hillary...It's a Democratic conspiracy to avenge Hillary Clinton!

But the Republican scum in the Iran-Contra days was a cut above the sleazy Trumpkins, so I'm still hoping that justice will prevail.

Trump's big Twitter mouth has already condemned him, but Mueller who isn't the kind of person to go on fishing expeditions, is clearly after the whole Trump gang.

Ronnie Raygun was finally going to get impeached. Cap Wineberger, Elliott Abrams, Bob MacFarlane and a whole host of other GOP shitheels were indicted. Ollie North and John Poindexter were convicted and going to jail. Then nothing. The appeal courts overturned the convictions, Pappy Bush pardoned the GOP shitheels, and Raygun was too senile to impeach.<br /><br />I also remember when Valerie Plame's life was endangered when she was revealed as CIA. Talk was that Dick Cheney was going to jail, and Bush Jr. was going to be impeached. Instead, the best Pat Fitzgerald's grand jury could muster was sending small fry Scooter Libby to the big house.<br /><br />Don't be a Charlie Brown and get your hopes up for nothing folks. The GOP controls the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court.

They seem to lose any ability to think rationally or weigh evidence. <br /><br />Maybe if we get some believable information (i.e something from other than useless US intelligence agencies or hysterical US propaganda organs, err, media outlets) I'll start to consider some of the hype as having some basis.<br /><br />And, other than the Americans, who cares? <br /><br /><i>A really stinky corruption story.</i> <br /><br />Ah yes. Now this is completely believable and we can hope for the best. We know that Trump is a crook and that he and associates have had dealings with all sorts of unsavoury characters, besides Republican politicians I mean.<br /><br />I would not be at all surprised to find Trump & Co. have been involved in all kinds of shady dealings with various crooked oligarchs from Russia and various former Soviet republics and other dubious sources of finance. There have been some interesting rumours of the hotel project in Azerbaijan having some links with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard, for example.<br /><br />Maybe his old attempt to do deals with Cuba will come back to haunt him. jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-17528482997506308162017-09-21T09:34:18.685-04:002017-09-21T09:34:18.685-04:00Hurricane Mueller, bring it the fuck on, I say.
