I did have an opinion on this but as of now I can't recall it.

I'm not entirely sure about the collusion, but from what I do know, I think it's very likely. I think the interfering with an investigation from Trump and Sessions is true.

Trump violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution is clear also. No question about that.

But I doubt anything will be done about anything if/until the GOP loses it's power hold.

With violation of the emoluments clause apparently so glaringly obvious, who is responsible for or able to start the ~~"get rid of the cunt"~~ impeachment process?

The GOP has put all their eggs into the Trump basket. Most of them are going to ride this where ever it goes. They'll only jump off near the end. If Trump makes it to two terms, at the end of the second, you'll start hearing Republican representatives shit talking Trump and talking abut how they never supported him and all the times they stood up to him (which will work because apparently Republicans have short memories).

Or if he gets impeached (even if he only gets half impeached in the house like Nixon and Clinton did), then they will start to fear re-election more than they fear Trump. And then they'll start talking big.

Unless the mid-terms next year swap out a lot of Republicans for Democrats, this is not going to go far. For that, the Democrats have to change their strategy. I think they should change it to pointing out how all the Republican representatives have been voting against the interests of the people they are supposed to be representing.

I know the Georgia special election was in a T-rumpist stronghold, but fuck me, with the amazing unpopularity of the apricot assclown at an all-time low, surely the Dems could have dragged out the vote to show the nation what needs to be done? But no, more of the rancid, uncaring same. I fear this great post-colonial experiment is fucked, has failed and will go the way of the Romans. Of course, the recent idiotic baseball turkey shoot had nothing to do with it.

America is in the end stage of Capitalism, Fascism. Religion helped bring that about. The White House gang now in charge are evil lying shysters trying to hide behind a laughable mask of Christianity. Their masters are greed personified, who slaughter with pleasure, profiting handsomely from endless war.
The religion Con uses laughable narrative to inculcate guilt, primarily sexual guilt, because a man burdened with a guilty conscience is more docile and obedient. Imagine an invisible guy in the sky keeping tabs on how often you masturbate, so he can punish you!
Thus mentally crippled, the gullibles repeatedly fall for the political Con game - make nice speeches, promise the suckers what you'll do FOR them if elected, and, when voted in, see what you can do TO them, while only representing the rich and greedy.
Their continued success has made them so brazen, even the nice speeches are foregone, gerrymandering, voter restrictions, and vote counting frauds are the norm now. And, once elected, refusing to answer questions.
