It's my country, and I want it back.
With Michael Flynn pleading guilty of lying to the FBI about his involvement with the Russians and much more, it is another nail in the coffin of the Trump presidency.
It is also a nail in the coffin of a Republican-led Congress that is supremely corrupt. The Congress is desperately trying to pass a tax package that benefits their corporate and wealthy donors even at risk to the nation's economic and military security.
Congressional leadership is so corrupt and misguided that it is obstructing justice by turning a blind eye to an illegitimate president. The President persists in assaulting the media and any branch of government that opposes him. That is tyranny, plain and simple.
Allowing this President to flirt with nuclear war with the North Koreans, Russians, and Chinese is horrendously irresponsible.
I am calling for the Democratic members of Congress to "stop work." They should put full attention to impeaching the President by resistance and revolt under the rule of law.

ReplyDeleteFlynn said to have acted in consultation with Kushner and other Trump transition officials on contacts with Russian ambassador
Flynn, the former national security adviser, lied about contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that he made in consultation with senior Trump transition officials, including President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to people familiar with the encounters.
According to new court filings, a “very senior member of the Presidential Transition Team” directed Flynn to contact officials from foreign governments, including Russia, about a U.N. resolution on Israel. That official is also not identified, but people familiar with the matter said it refers to Kushner.

ReplyDelete"Trump waffles on size of corporate tax cut, hours after Senate GOP passes bill that met his demands
President Trump suggested for the first time that he would consider significant changes to the emerging tax overhaul plan and set the corporate tax rate at 22 percent, higher than the red line he had drawn for weeks during negotiations.
The Senate narrowly passed a bill early Saturday that would slash corporate tax rates from 35 percent to 20 percent starting in 2019. Several Republicans had tried to get GOP leaders to allow the corporate rate to settle at 22 percent in exchange for other tax breaks for families, but GOP leaders held the line at 20 percent, in part because Trump had said he would not allow it to go any higher.
But less than 12 hours later, as Trump was traveling to New York, he told reporters that he might accept 22 percent."
He can't even be straight with his own party.
