How do you go back to business as usual when treason is afoot? You can't.

I know we are all sitting here hemming and hawing and Monday morning Quarterbacking Berie did this/Hillary did that...

Meawhile, there have to be some real serious behind the scenes discussions going on right now in the halls of power behind closed doors discussing this.

Beyond the moral imperative I also cannot imagine the hidden economic costs of living under this unresolved cloud.

Investigations now.

Seems that all populist movements by the people are crushed by corporate interests. Look at what happened to Occupy ... systematically repressed in coordinated maneuvers by local, state, and federal gov't agencies.

msm will try to make it so. People may need to rise up to stop this insanity. But I doubt it will happen.

That doesn't mean I don't think he will be president. I think he will, because as a people we lack the fortitude to step up and change the outcome. But it will be a presidency that was fatally wounded out of the gates. My guess is he won't make it 2 years before he either decides it's not any fun or the Repubs decide he's a disaster for their long term prospects and cut him loose.
