Anyone feeling like the events of the past two weeks will end up amounting to nothing? Sorry to be a drag, and don't want to doubt all the folks who really do think trump is going down, but I am getting a sick feeling that all the explosive testimony from the hearings will lead to...nothing. Is trump unraveling, or are we in a bubble and kidding ourselves? I know in normal times all the testimony would have sunk any other president, but I'm feeling a lot of stagnant energy. Sorry, I wish I didn't.
I am also wondering how trump will possibly go down when it’s obvious the republican Senators are all or mostly all going to vote in his favor? If Hurd doesn’t see a reason to impeach, who will?

I dont think he gets removed from office by the Senate. Everyone is already too dug in to change now. His ego and narcissism will be his downfall. He is hellbent on always beijng right, perfect, the biggest, the best, etc. With an impeachment on his record, it will lower him(in his mind) to the level of Clinton, Nixon, and Johnson. He cant handle this mentally. Thats why he is melting down now. There is no worry in the WH that he will be removed, just as there was no worry with Clinton. He just cant have his reputation tarnished with impeachment, and that is happening surely. Its that smudge on his reputation that will drive him insane and out of office
@lynnventura. I understand how you feel. We are living in dark times. And the darkness extends beyond this country where Vladimir Putin and a great web of dark money has its tentacles into the GOP.
We've seen these times coming for a long time. From 1980 with Ronald Reagan's hate campaigns against the poor and the unions, and the rise of a lawless business model. During the 80's and 90's, I starting noticing people referring to lying and cheating in business as, "That's just business." As if it's okay as log as it leads to profits. Then that model, which wasn't new to politics, became the out-in-the-open norm in politics. It showed up in a refusal to confirm a president's Supreme Court nominee, and a North Carolina GOP legislature's refusal to allow an elected democratic governor to do his job. Then in 2015 enter Vladimir Putin spreading his tentacles into America, hacking into office a president who will do its bidding.
So the darkness been a long time coming, and it will take a paradigm shift to turn it around. But we are headed for that positive shift. When it comes it will be profound. It can't come too soon or it won't be deep enough.
The last two weeks have not been wasted. They have been critically important. The light workers are standing up. The heroes are speaking truth. There has been a pattern. First the GOP does the most appalling things, shocking everyone. Then decency fights back with decency, like the Mueller investigation. Then the GOP tramples it (though not completely, that report still stands). Then the light workers fight back again, still in decency, but this time more light workers rise up, with the whistleblower and the nearly entire State Department stepping out of the shadows to shine light of truth. I never knew how heroic those people are until now. Each time these battles happen, national faith in the GOP is eroded more.
I felt Trump would only resign if the Senate and House have turned blue.
We are engaged in a great battle between good and evil. But watch the heart warriors and take solace in these brave souls. So many heroes. I hope you are heartened by their strength. And a great ground swell is rising up for the 2020 elections.
@Bluebelle, I loved seeing your "like". Thank you, dear beautiful amazing friend. And @lynnventura, I didn't tell you how grateful my heart is that you are part of this community; how you've helped me so many times. And Cindy, and MA1521, @lovendures, @Lawrence, @codyroo, @deetoo, @baba, @TriciaCT, @coyote, and all of you! Beautiful community, you all give me strength. We don't all see the same timelines. But you are light workers all.
T will be impeached by the House in December. As @mas1581 stated, he will not be able to handle impeachment and it will drive him even more insane. He will mentally and physically crumble.
Had a vision late last week of him. It relates to the impeachment hearings. Standing on a baseball field, a pitcher throws the ball to T. Instead of catching it, it smacks him really hard in the face. Enough to knock him out or over. As it happens, he becomes faceless.
Impeachment doesn't allow him to save face, nor was he expecting that his colleagues would testify against him. He's been caught off-guard. And it continues to get worse. More and more bigger fish will turn and testify against him. Expect news from other jurisdictions.
Thank you, @Lawrence and @Mas1581. Nice jolt of firm positivity. And it makes sense! The man is weak and dissembling.
For more positivity, I have just posted our 11.11.19 Read the Future Night predictions for November and December 2019. The rest will take more time to pull together. Go here and enjoy. It will leave people feeling optimistic about the unraveling of Trump. https://www.jeannemayell.com/community/new-set-of-timeline-predictions/11-11-19-read-the-future-night-november-december-2019-only/#post-17081

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.' To this day, especially in times of 'disaster,' I remember my mother's words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers — so many caring people in this world." - Fred Rodgers
Have you noticed the helpers? They are truly fighting the good fight in places across the entire world. Normally unseen, their lights now have the opportunity to beam through the darkness and radiate a brilliant glow, illuminating the entire world.
In this darkest of times, I chose to look up and marvel at the stars . The ones I can see guiding me home, guiding me onward and the ones who only become visible when we have reached the darkest of hours. The darkest hour stars give the most hope because they appear only when things are the bleakest and at the darkest of times.
I think perhaps Mr. Rodgers "helpers" are the land version of these "stars of hope" in the sky.
They sure have been shinning brightly for us to see and take into our hearts this impeachment trail week. Hope, during these darkest of times.
Hi all. I have been quite lately due to stress over the hearings. I can't watch because I will yell at my TV and I'm afraid someone will call the cops on me. I saw an ineresting tweet this AM. Evidently Dump called into Faux and Fiends and went on a rant demanding a Trial. He was ranting on and on and the idiots on the show couldn't even ask him questions. He is getting more and more ridiculous. Insider leaks (take it or leave them) say he is throwing fits in the WH and smashing things. I believe last weekends health scare was just a warning and based on what we know about Dump he will ignore it. He might be carried out on a stretcher. Poor Dump. I don't wish ill health on anyone, I've had enough of that myself, but I won't cry any tears either. I am hoping since Mercury went direct thing would not be so tense but like ya'll said these are dark and sad times. Everything is so up and down that it's making me dizzy.
The Republicans would not vote to impeach or remove Nixon until the Supreme Court ordered the release of the White House Tapes. The current batch of Republicans are worse, but if documents were forced to be released (Trump's taxes) where they just couldn't spin it anymore AND people take to the streets to protest the man still being in power, they will cave. Then we can vote them out.
It will (almost) have to come to this, they are too intractable.
