August will be hell. Not because of record temperatures or hurricanes (although that might make it worse), but because tRump and his minions will begin their final push to end the American experiment. Here’s what I see coming. tRump will go the Great Britain and get into a really big fight with Prime Minister Theresa May. Many wondered why the British would even let tRump into the country. May is reeling from Brexit revelations and a party commitment to carry it through. The British government needs to fete the Mango Menace to get a trade deal, so May was going to hold her nose and try to flatter him into a deal. However the Russians sabotaged this with Novichok ( This just got worse because one of the infected, Dawn Sturgess has died. Understand a British citizen died as a result of a Russian attack on British soil. That can be seen as an act of war.) By the time of the meeting the British government May’s number one priority will be to secure her allies joint response to a second Russian attack on Britain. So instead of trade she will what the American Mussolini to join her in strongly condemning Russia-Putin. This the Occupant will not do and leave in a huff.
He will then go to the NATO meeting, our allies will attempt to get him to join them in condemning Putin for the attacks in Britain among other things. tRump will refuse to sign anything that even hints at criticizing Putin. He will insult NATO and the EU and increase his trade war with them and then fly to Helsinki and embrace Putin and his corrupt regime. After meeting with the puppet master tRump will announce a pledge by Russia not to interfere in the 2018 elections and a “fair” and great trade agreement with Russia. Since the trade agreement hinges on ending sanctions, the carrot colored one will lift what he can and ask Congress to end the rest of the sanctions. He will also have promises from Putin to leave Ukraine at some unspecified date and possibly a pledge to hold yet another referendum on Crimea staying in Russia. Putin will get what he wants without doing anything. tRump will get the photo op he wants and secretly more covert help in the elections and possibly other matters.
The key, I think, is the traitorous Senators meeting with their so-called counterparts. They supposedly went to get assurances that the Russian will not meddle in the elections, but this is patently ridiculous. The Russian legislators they met with have absolutely no power over whether Putin interferes with our elections. Any promises they gave are worth nothing. However, the Senators, and it is important that they are Senators, could promise that any agreement Putin makes with tRump will be ratified if the Senate stays in Republican hands. Yes they normally need a 2/3 majority, but Obama got approval for the Iran deal on a simple majority vote. Republicans will do the same.
Why all this now? Putin is finally making tRump give him what he wanted all along. It seems to me that the Russian strongman has lost patience with the orange one. The scheduling of the Helsinki Summit just days after the NATO meetings was not a coincidence.. After breaking with NATO the puppet must go to his master and bow for all the world to see.
And here is why August will be hell. With tRump declaring the dawn of a new era with Russia and an unequivocal proof that there was no Russian collusion (because Putin told him so and/or showed him the evidence). Therefore, he will end the Mueller investigation in August during the Congressional recess. Yes, the Senate will probably keep a proforma session going until it doesn’t. This has been going on to block recess appointments since the Obama administration. I can see where Mitch the Bitch will end the practice so that tRump can get his SCOTUS appointment and many other judges quickly. He can also fire Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller and declare the investigation over. That is when we have to hit the streets in the hot August sun and brace for the Orange menace to try to rule by fiat (or at least by executive order). The returning Congress will go along with the Occupant saying “let the healing begin.” All just in time for the Fall Campaign. It has been said that 1/3 of the colonists favored the Revolution, 1/3 were loyalists and 1/3 were indifferent. Those are about the numbers we have now I think. What that indifferent third does may mean a lot.
Sorry about the meandering style. It is my first Diary in a long time.
