I don't know - I'm glad all this is coming out, but did no one anywhere find it strange that he insisted on a private meeting with Putin with no one else in the room, and didn't release any notes? He's been acting like this all along, and no one tried to stop him. Everything he did, every policy he broke, every treasonous act he performed, every law he broke - was fine. It's discouraging that it has taken so long for a few people to wake up. And I hope those few are going to be able to toughen up and do something about it. I think they will.
His “handlers” did not care. They were getting what they wanted out of him. He was doing his bidding but now they are going down with the captain and his ship the Titanic. They were destined to crash and burn it was just a matter of time. Hopefully this is the downward spiral
Regarding the possible new IRS whistleblower, this reminds me that Bluebelle posted this prediction back in May with no date:
- Something bad enough has happened that the GOP realize they can no long associate with this president. Barr was the first to go. Then Mnuchen. The sycophants are out.
Let the resignations begin. U.S. envoy to Ukraine resigns over scrutiny of his role hooking up Guiliani with Ukraine officials.
Some predictions about future resignations from the whistleblower scandals: Mnuchin (now there is a second whistleblower involving the IRS protecting Trump from audits; Guiliani (not resignation but prosecution), Kelly Anne, Barr, Martin, Pence (or was it prosecution?). Have I missed any?
Regarding trump's tax returns, here's another tidbit for you. Mazar, trump's accounting firm, finagled a time extension until 10/07 before they have to provide the Manhattan DA with trump's tax returns. The judge allowed them this small delay to see if they can come up with some other mutually agreeable solution with the DA. If no alternative agreement is made, trump's taxes have to be provided by 4PM on the 7th. My strongest intuition is that the DA will be getting trump's taxes on 10/07 and another brick in trump's wall will be undone.
There's blood in the water and everyone knows it. People aren't going to go to jail for him.They'll start talking. Volker (special enjoy) resigned last night, most likely so he can be free to speak. Did everyone know about the corruption? Yes, but there's now information from new sources that presents better than the never-ending Mueller stuff. An old fashion shakedown is something people get, and the gop will have a harder time defending. Plus there's just plain exhaustion at having to defend this guy. It's a convergence of lots of stuff. Whether he's removed or not remains to be seen.
I don't think anyone has seen him actually impeached, but I think folks just the term impeachment to mean removal, when it really is more like the house voting to charge. It's the senate that convicts and removes the president. At this point I don't see how he's not impeached. At that point maybe he just resigns.
While I feel timelines accelerating and possible outcomes advancing and receding, I also feel "good" finally getting the upper hand.
A Yahoo news point this AM. Pence tried to council Moron to not release the phone transcript. Boy he sure is a good influence on the orange pamper king! Crazy Rudy thinks he will be a hero when this is all over. It's getting to the point where there are too many clowns inthe circus! The orange turd is having nightly twitter meltdowns (I don't follow him and neverwill but I see comments). He is starting to endanger others in the Congress. I hope I never understand how his mind works. I went to my Doc yesterday and he says Moron is just flat insane. The sad thing is the Reps will let this go on as long as they can so they can hold on to power. Hope they make a lot of money because they are going to need it. More and more conservtives that I know are not listening to him anymore they say it is embarassing. I tell them not to vote for him again! Oh well I'm sure he is off to play golf with Lindsey, Rand and the boys.
I am going over to donate then take a nap! Happy Saturday to all.
This morning I again awoke with the image of the big orange T. balloon deflating. It barely has enough air to support it. But this time I see the balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I'm perplexed as to why it's there. It's out of place. Can someone just get rid of it? The balloon looks, to use T's words, S-A-D.
Speaking of sad ... I am sad over this entire thing. Don't misunderstand me; I am relieved and very grateful that this stuff is finally coming out, he'll most likely be impeached or resign, and many who enabled him will be held accountable. I am sad because of what this says about our country. There is a reason why he got into office, and it's not because he's some wizard. It's the enormity of the corruption. And the sins of our past. We're coming face-to-face with it now. So that does give me enormous hope -- a spiritual cleansing, of sorts. But I am still sad.

Steven Miller and Sarah Sanders. I think there is a good chance they will both be implicated in the cover up, although whether they'll face charges or punishment remains to be seen.
And for what it is worth, since March 2019, I have had three dreams where I am watching Donald Trump Junior sitting on a couch in a high rise apartment crying hysterically. The phone keeps ringing and ringing but he doesn't answer it. He appears to be beside himself, very distraught and seriously depressed, almost suicidal. These three dreams have been very vivid and exactly the same each time; they do not seem like ordinary dreams. I wake from them feeling as if I have actually been with Donald Trump Jr. I mentioned them in a previous post (can't find it now) and just want to do so again.
I'm not particularly intuitive, but because of the quality of these dreams and the fact that they've been repeated so exactly, I have felt for a while now that Don Jr. may *possibly* be caught up in something that will be very destructive to him personally.
Finally, I do not believe that we will ever know the full, entire story of what has happened until many years from now, if ever. There are too many forces working to keep this hidden. We'll know more in coming days, but the public will still only learn about a small portion of what has happened.
@deetoo What struck me about your dream was this: Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade gives not only a time frame-Thanksgiving, but it shows that he's done in NY as well. That's where the parade is held, and it's the district in which his crimes were committed prior to going to DC.
The name Kurt Volker (Ukrainian special envoy) keeps pinging me. I looked him up and discovered he started out at the CIA as an analyst and of course, he was a former ambassador to the UN. He will have information. BTW he happens to be the executive director of the McCain Institute (since inception)--the McCain connection also is lighting up and a quick view of the list of his pallbearers/speakers at his funeral makes one think ooo kaaaay (despite Lindsey Graham's presence... Joe Biden both spoke and was a pallbearer). I would not be surprised to find out that he and Sen. McCain had been good friends and they did work together. This is all connected.
I always thought that when Trump started taking on the intelligence community that it was going to blow up in his face. That he continued to disrespect Senator McCain - this grudge because McCain was everything he could and would never be- thinking this rubbed people wrong. It is almost like Trump was given enough rope. Now there are 225 votes for impeachment so far in Congress, the Democrats are united-- everyone supporting Pelosi- she appears as a grand wizard (like the A-Team- I am getting "I love it when a plan comes together") The Big Sting.
And the headlines don't disappoint. Just saw
Rudy Giuliani backs out of appearing at Kremlin-sponsored conference
I guess he figures the optics might be bad for this. This guy is going to turn on Trump or go to jail after this impeachment passes Congress and all the shit hits the fan.
And Barr -- boy howdy-- Baba was so right:
AG Bill Barr reportedly "surprised and angry" at Trump-Ukraine phone call
Those headlines are from Axios.
@rowsella, didn't Volker resign yesterday? And isn't he supposed to be questioned by the Intelligence Committee sometime this week?
Yes, Volker resigned as the special envoy. But hearing and thinking his name -- it had a lot of resonance to me.
