The Storm Before the Storm: The Beginning of the End of the Roman Republic by Mike Duncan

Before we forget Michael Cohen admitted to lying to Congress and the KKK endorsed candidate wanted to give Putin a $50 million pent house in a Trump Tower in Moscow. No, there was no collusion. Yeah Right. Either that or the popular vote loser is an useful idiot to the Russian President who clearly knows how to play for the long game.
Two signs (children uninsured rate and decline in life expectancy) that health care in the United States has taken a step in the wrong direction.

This is not organized mob rule Mr. Popular Vote Loser. You can not get away with threatening reprisals on your opponents, hindering the special counsel, and holding out the hope of presidential pardons to criminals so they do not cooperate with a lawful investigation. You are dishonoring the office of the Presidency and November 2020 cannot come soon enough for the majority of the country that did not vote for you the first time. Only 706 days to go until the KKK endorsed candidate is voted out of office.
It is time for the grown ups to sit down and come up with comprehensive immigration reform. People should not have to wait months on line to apply for asylum. People should not illegally cross the border. Our leaders should take the solutions that everyone knows will work and solve this problem and stop using it as a campaign wedge issue. Shame on the Trump Party for fostering this unwarranted fear.

These developments with Manfort and the Russian Investigation appear to show more evidence of collusion and obstruction of justice. Only the brain dead and most rabid of the KKK endorsed candidates supporters would still believe the popular vote loser's assertions that this is a witch hunt. Yea and the U.S. did not use tear gas at the border two days ago.

Two excellent articles on how Right Wing Violence is on the rise and how the Republican Party is dead and is now the Trump Party.

More news from the Mueller Investigation. Looks like Manafort is going to have Bubba as a roommate for the rest of his life because he can not even be a cooperating witness and Corsi wants a different plea deal. These people are under the delusion that crime does pay and they can get away with anything. For such elderly people, they should rethink their priorities and not depend on a Presidential Pardon.

Tom Steyer's Five Rights are similar in part to the Economic Bill of Rights Franklin Delano Roosevelt proposed in 1944. Any Democrat would do well to borrow from this in outlining the positive goals they would pursue for the American People.
