#3 "So I think impeachment might come up, but I guarantee you it is not the first item on anybody's agenda that would be chairing these committees."

I'll take that bet - these drooling morons have been talking about little else over the past two years.

#6 Typical CBC Corrupt Pol:
The Curious Case of Karen Bass
But after hitting the campaign trail this spring as the Democratic Party's heir apparent to outgoing Congresswoman Diane Watson, Bass, who was President Obama's state campaign co-chair in 2008, ran into the kinds of troubles that normally dog the fat-cat insiders and Sacramento political hacks.

The Los Angeles Times reported in early June that Bass had missed 60 percent of Assembly sessions during her campaign, yet she was collecting the generous $141.80 in per diem payments that taxpayers provide legislators so they can afford to work far from home, in Sacramento.

Bass had collected per diem for 29 days, getting more than $4,000, yet for much of that time she was skipping out of legislative duties in Sacramento.

Just months before her per diem practices came to light, she had touted her "Joint Select Committee on Reform" to increase legislative transparency and revamp the old ways of doing business in politics.

"That's why it's upsetting that we find her having compromised in some of those areas," says Doug Heller, executive director of Consumer Watchdog, a Santa Monica–based good-government group.

More recently, Bass' staff made the news for taking from oil giant BP lots of free tickets to major sporting and other events in Sacramento. Though it was legal, it left an uneasy feeling that Bass had morphed into just another pol, and more quickly than most.

"At the very least," says Heller of her per diem take, "it's a major loss of perspective over what should have been a natural and obvious bright line for someone like Karen Bass. When you go to Sacramento and live in that insular world for five or six years, clear rules become fuzzy."

#7 We may have no choice but a civil war.

Everything I see indicates that it is baked into the cake at this point. Whether we get 1 or 2 terms with President Trump, CW-II is unavoidable. Use whatever time we have wisely to get ready.

#8 If the Dems spend the next two years investigating all things Trumpy, it will be noisy, but will keep them from other mischief, like passing stupid laws and messing with things they think they understand.

Prediction: their Trump obsession, while tiresome, will eventually provoke a backlash that leads to a thousand year TrumpReich.

#9 As the stock market keeps crashing the Dims stay stuck on stupid. Which is why the market began crashing when voters gave the House back to the Dims a few weeks ago which is the final nail in the coffin with the debt at bankrupt leveĺs.

The US is no more. The whole world knows it except for US voters.

Wouldn't want TrumpHitler to get credit for any successes, would we? Even if it is good for America.

#12 The Dems are a one trick pony which is impeachment. They care little about America. For them it all about power.

#13 They should be careful what they wish for. Electing Trump was a reaction to the teleprompter cretin. The next reaction will be even worse.
