That's a pretty good summation of events as of when he made it (and I did watch it after you posted it, not just now); I only take issue with the bit hwere he's saying how bad a baby Trump was, I know it's a joke but that's kind of mean, babies can't help it...
But anyway, with how fast and furious the leaks have come, about Trump, Kushner, and Flynn particularly and their contacts and connections to Russia, as well as their attempts at covering up what they did, how long will it be until someone actually gets arrested? I want the investigations to be quite solid before they do that of course, but with how crazy-fast these leaks keep coming it makes you wonder... unless the FBI and CIA are holding out until they can get Trump himself, instead of going after his people. That would make a lot of sense; get them all at once! So yeah, take your time, and then get them all.
Meanwhile, other countries probably shouldn't be telling this administration any secrets they don't want immediately leaked either on Twitter or to the Russians, that's for sure.
But seriously, on (sort of) another note, what is wrong with this country? How has the Republican Party fallen so far that they are willing to overlook probable treason just because the people who did it are Republicans? There's no way the Democrats would behave that way; yes. people defend their own, but only to a point! And to anyone from any party it should have been clear that this administration passed that point by now. But no, most Republicans stand by Trump, and so most Republican lawmakers stick with him as well. With how terrible he's been on every front, from policy to autocratic tendencies to most likely treasonous connections to Russia, it is not good for our democracy that so many people in this country still excuse that behavior and continue to support him and the people around him. Does the Republican Party (and its diehard supporters) actually believe in America anymore? Because it sure seems like all they care about are themselves and tax cuts for the rich, and not anything that made this nation great.
Seriously, yes, it's good news that the Democrats are doing better; in Kansas and now Montana the Republicans lost, but Dems gained hugely versus every other election in those places in years. The 6-point margin in Montana Thursday was the closest a D has come to winning that seat since at least 2000, for example, and that was with a somewhat troubled Democratic candidate with some serious issues the Republicans exploited (his money problems, failure to pay contractors, statement sounding like he supported a gun registry, unpolished campaigning, etc...), and who the top Democratic candidates in the state (the Governor and one Senator) didn't campaign with. It's very frustrating to lose again, but at least it was closer than polling said, and it continues to be a very good sign for Democratic success once we finally get races in places not so diehard Republican (yes, Ossoff, but mainly the 2018 general). A year and a half is a long time and with how fast this scandal is moving I have no idea how things will be then, but at least it's hope.
