Dorothy (AG Barr) and witch (Democrats) -https://www.imdb.com/videoplayer/vi2741371417 So the Wizard (Trump) sends Dorothy (AG Barr) on a mission to hopefully get Dorothy killed so he won't be revealed as a fake? |

No. Dorothy IS the report tossing water on the democrat witch hunt. It melted all of the dems lies and hopes of impeachment.  |

...No. Dorothy IS the report ... Actually I nailed your original analogy. But I do applaud your effort to spin it. |

Occurs to me that Trump could play just about any of the male parts here.
1. The Wizard - Sounds impressive and fearsome until you look behind the curtain and see nothing there.
2. The Scarecrow - In need of a brain.
3. The Tin Man - In need of a heart.
4. The Cowardly Lion - 'Nuf said.

It melted all of the dems lies and hopes of impeachment. Pelosi has already stated there will be no impeachment proceedings, a while back, unless there is an actual reason. I wonder what the next great hope is for the Democrats. The shallow rinse/repeat of mostly nothing, is just that, mostly nothing. |

My next great hope is the American people in 2020. Yes ! A continuing return to traditional American values and prosperity for all ! It's what made this country great ! KAGA ! It is always interesting to me the concept of "traditional American values". As I read history, I see great American ideals and a continuing struggle for our nation to live up to them. |

Now I am waiting for the second and more important investigation to start,
The political corruption of America highest law enforcement officers, The collusion between them and the DNC, Then doing a Mueller style investigation of everyone around the main characters, Then we can watch the incitement of this one, that one over and over again!
The Democrats as We have seen thru Wikileaks, email release are far more corrupt than the Conservatives party!!!

I wonder what the next great hope is for the Democrats.
I really laughed at the sputtering and back tracking some dems did when Trump said he was going to let the asylum seekers go to sanctuary cities.
Pelosi and San Francisco came to mind.

I think it's a great idea ! Instead of all the expense of the initial care added to the federal deficit, line up the buses and add about 10/12 hours more to their months long trip up from wherever. Much more financially prudent. Deliver them to where they are loved, and all the other positive aspects applied to them. To hell with the Trump parts of the country. That guy is an ass with those tweets. More is better ! I can see at least a half a million dropped off at receiving centers in the center of San Fran just this year alone ! Money won't be a problem for the city, they are positive additions to the economy, and will make more money for the city, than the cost. Don't forget to have nice living facilities ready for this influx. Medical care is a must ! No separation of family groups, and tinfoil blankets. Real beds, real blankets, quality individual homelike structures. I don't want to see these large prison like structures that the federal government uses, lowering their self esteem when they get here. They need to feel welcome and appreciated. When San Fran feels they have enough of this wonderful thing.... Seattle ! For the other half a million expected this year. |

It melted all of the dems lies and hopes of impeachment. actually, they could impeach him right now. they have the votes for it. that part is easy.
they just couldn't remove him. that part is hard.
which is why they are going to do nothing of the sort.

I saw Wicked last night.
SPOILER ALERT
It only looked like the wicked witch was getting melted, but really it was a ruse to fool everyone into thinking Elphaba was dead, when really she ran off with her true love Fiyero. So let's analogy that.

SPOILER ALERT It only looked like the wicked witch was getting melted, but really it was a ruse to fool everyone into thinking Elphaba was dead, when really she ran off with her true love Fiyero. So let's analogy that. My neighbors across the street have probably seen Wicked 15 times. About 13 years ago when Wicked was playing in town, the neighbors bought 50 tickets for the show and gave them to co-workers, friends, and neighbors, including me. We all met up at a restaurant for pre-show dinner at a restaurant within walking distance to the theater. After we were all done dining, the neighbors told us dinner was on them. Nice evening had by all and the show was very good. |

They have season passes for all the shows each year. |

I was thinking the same, we saw wicked a couple of years back in Boston for our wedding anniversary. That plus dinner... some really nice neighbors  |

... I wonder what the next great hope is for the Democrats. ... My next great hope is the American people in 2020. Trumps approval ratings dipped 3 points to a 2019 low after the release of the redacted Muller report.
www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-approval-drops-3-points-to-2019-low-after-release-of-mueller-report-reuters-ipsos-poll/ar-BBW6UqY
The Mueller report makes it clear (to anyone who read the report, rather than relied on Rush or Fox talking head summaries) that the Trump WH is seeped in mendacity, corruption and sheer incompetency, and that Mueller specifically intended Congress to review all of his findings to make a decision on whether or not to take further actions. It's also clear from the report Trump is very possibly going to get indicted as soon as he leaves office.
Consider the Trump Tower meeting with Trump Jr. Federal law requires politicians to contact the DOJ when they are approached by foreign powers attempting to make donations to their campaigns. The Mueller report shows not only did the Trump campaign fail to do that, they actually arranged a meeting with the Russians and would have used any 'dirt' on Clinton if Russia had provided any. So they were 'saved' from colluding simply because the Russians didn't offer anything juicy.
2020 will be referendum.

Looks like Dorothy was mistaken and threw water on the Wicked Witch of the Southeast and not the Wicked Witch of the West.

By the time the dirt washes out of the second side of this investigation,, it will be Trump until 2024! |
