Bob Woodward was commenting on the impeachment inquiry. Although Pelosi is restricting it to the Zelensky matter, Woodward thinks that the inquiry needs to expand far beyond that. He believes this for a few reasons: (1) it's important to give the Rethugs the opportunity to vote on more than one impeachment article. He said that even if someone votes yes on one article and no on the others, all it takes is one "yes" to move forward. He doesn't want to see the Senate impeachment trial die because it is so limited; and (2) simply put, T can't be allowed to get away with any of his other illegal activities and dealings. Many of those are also impeachable.
I can understand Woodward's reasoning under (1), but I do believe that the more Congress investigates the initial charge, the more his other illegal activities will come to light. This Ukraine situation directly ties into Russia and T's dirty dealings. @lawrence's dream also speaks to that.
Strangely enough, i also had a dream about Turnip. I usually don't allow myself to have nightmares, so this was a first. It was about a week before the Ukraine call. In it, he was *openly* having an affair with a blonde woman. (Well, a bottle blonde, as in the drapes didn't match the rug, lol) So i asked "But...but.. what about Melanomia?'' And he and his new girl both answered simultaneously "Her life is about to be MUCH different!"
Then i woke myself up, feeling so creeped out. My takeaway was that his wife represented the USA (even tho she seems to me to be a plant), because he had taken a vow, or an oath to her, that he was plainly breaking.
@Lawrence, in response to your recent dream:
I've been reluctant to share a dream I had in early August because the central images were were so disgustingly obscene (and I dreamt it while on an especially wonderful vacation in France, making the dream/nightmare feel even more insultingly intrusive). In the dream, Trump, looking super-grotesque and buffoony and lurid in a XXX-rated way, was bursting out of the backside of an elephant. There was loud circus-type music gone very wrong, like from a horror film. Even as I write this, I feel repulsion. He was tightly surrounded by a group/circus of cronies who were also garishly grotesque. Meanwhile, off to the left of the image I saw three severe looking men stealthily making their way toward what I knew was the White House. The three were wearing plain dark uniforms, severely buttoned up to their necks, and also wearing matching unmarked caps. I didn't recognize the uniforms--but I knew they weren't authorized military, and they weren't spies per se, rather secret service-types serving one particular country (my guess=definitely Russia). The takeaway from the dream (in addition to how repulsive Trump and his cronies were) was that Trump didn't even know about the three men and what they were up to. He likes to think of himself as "very tough," like the oligarchs and dictators he so admirers and believes are his friends, but the joke is on him. They do not consider him a friend or peer, and he is not in on their plan. A very, very bad, laser-focused faction has been taking advantage of Trump's delusional self-absorption as a tough-guy-wannabe as they, undetected and undeterred, have been pursuing doing substantial damage to the heart of our democracy. My best hope is that the whistleblower and resulting inquiries and doubled-down intelligence attention will be the beginning of what foils these bad guys.
Something strange is going on with the Southern Dist of NY Civil Division. I hope that I am relating this story accurately.
From what I just read, the SDNY US Attorney may be joining T’s team in their legal battle to block the release of T’s tax returns. Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance subpoenaed Trump’s accounting firm demanding personal and business records of the president and other third parties dating back to 2011. But I’ve read the SDNY is claiming that releasing T’s taxes might raise some significant constitutional issues that potentially implicate the interests of the United States. Constitutional issues? Does that sound familiar? Doesn’t the SDNY report to Barr?
If I'm missing anything here, please enlighten me!
Hello, I am new here. I had a strange dream that involved Barr leaving office by May of next year. After that dream I followed some news trails. I don't know how this relates exactly, but not long after my dream (around the time of his confirmation), his son-in-law was hired as an attorney for the White House counsel’s office and one of his daughters left her deputy AG office post also to join the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (part of the bureau for the Treasury). It's quite a rabbit hole. FinCEN had whistleblowers dealing with Russian interference/Trump. This all popped up in my head with the mention of the taxes because they deal with money laundering and other things.
I sense like others that there is a coverup and it's overwhelming. I can't imagine what all the civil servants and intelligence officers are dealing with behind the scenes daily. Sending strength and hope to all.
Here's a story detailing the interference and whistleblowers:
Your dream reminds me that the foreign agents, especially Mr. Putin, but also the Saudi Prince and unknown others, who have pulled Trump's puppet strings all along , have to be taking action to protect their goose that laid the golden egg. It gets my mind going to imagine what they are up to: protect our goose and if all is lost, then we need to bolster the power of others around him who we have in our pocket who can take over if he is taken out, and if all is lost, protect the infrastructure we've set up in the U.S.
This morning I was in Lowes obsessing over paint colors and struck up a conversation with a guy who was also paint shopping. He was a senior like me and from a fairly conservative part of our county, so when he began talking politics, I got a little nervous. But it quickly became apparent that we were kindred spirits. After expressing his disgust about what's going on, he said, smiling, "looks like we'll all be saying 'Madam President' ..." -- but I found myself disagreeing. He believed that because Pence is now in the thick of it w/Turnip, P. will be impeached with him. Even if the Senate impeaches T., which I believe is still questionable, there's no way Mitch will let the Senate vote P. out of office. No way Mitch will allow Nancy to be in charge! What do you all think?
