What was it Nixon said? Oh, yeah..."I am not a crook."

"the audience is leaving..." but one-third of Americans view him favorably! How can that be? Even with the severest case of Fox-poisoning, one must notice what one pays for gas and food...

The market timing discussion should be read in the context of the offer from Trump to give advance notice of what he is going to say on 'truth' social to anyone willing to pay him $100,000 a MONTH for the timing advantage in the market. How many professional insider traders have bought access so far? No doubt the timing is expected to pay for itself, at the expense of everyone else.

Fox and its tawdry equivalents must be bending over backwards, or worse, to keep their viewers from noticing the corruption and the lies.

Our nation’s fate now depends on turning disappovers into voters. Some find it too difficult to navigate legal and logistical obstacles to voting. Others are persuaded there’s no point in voting because “both sides are the same” or “Democrats will eat your children”.

We can help bolster pro-democracy turnout. State and local Democratic parties and independent non-profits need volunteers for GOTV, voter hotlines, poll place monitoring and other election support. Donations are helpful especially in critical down ballot races.

Another on-the-money analysis--and thank-you... At this point I'm reading your pieces that way I might fight a disease by using a weekly injection or a daily pill...

Two comments:

I'm guessing that you quote polls and supply real facts for us (and maybe yourself) to bolster our understanding of the fact--and to have some hope that things will, eventually, change for the better. ...But I'm know you don't imagine that Trump will resign because he realizes his situation is clearly hopeless or it dawns on him that he has done something wrong... He is way past "realizing" anything and obviously, has never been burdened by anything resembling shame...

Also, you make a solid case here--one we might hear from from the lead prosecutor at an impeachment proceeding or in a Federal court... All points adhering to the letter and spirit of the law; all points proving without a doubt Trump's blatant violation of the Constitution, The Ten Commandments and the Boy Scout's Oath...

Trump will never leave The White House the way Nixon did... No human law, constitutional principle or standard part of human nature will cause him to reflect, think, or consider leaving. We have to hope that some higher principle will eventually apply here or that the will of the people might be expressed in some way none of us can currently imagine...

Thank you, Mary. I hope, I hope, I hope.
