I Missed The Memo!

Comey left a memo

Once in a while, I'll do a combined posting on the latest issues going on in the junk food media.

THE JAMES COMEY MEMO

The leader of this once great country tried to intimidate the former FBI director into dropping an investigation into a campaign operative's ties to Russia.

The Michael Flynn investigation is getting deeper and deeper. The former National Security Adviser was way deep in the Russian state.

There's a memo that James Comey wrote when he went to the White House to discuss issues involving national security with Donald J. Trump. The New York Times reported on it, and it became a big scandal.

Trump urged Comey to drop the FBI investigation. He also asked upon the FBI to arrest journalists who report on classified information.

The decision to fire Comey was inspired by Jared Kushner, the son-in-law to Trump. He is a foreign advisor.

Republican lawmakers are starting to get nervous.

THOM TILLIS COLLAPSES DURING CHARITY EVENT

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) collapsed in Washington, DC after riding his bicycle for a charity event. The senator who won his election in 2014 supported the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.

They had to administer CPR to the senator.

No word on how he's doing but we wish him a speedy recovery.

CHELSEA MANNING RELEASED FROM MILITARY TIME OUT

The transgender private who leaked to Wikileaks was released from Fort Leavenworth. Chelsea Manning was responsible for leaking classified intelligence to Wikileaks and the junk food media.

Manning was charged and convicted of the crime. She was sentenced to military time out for 35 years. Before leaving the White House, Barack Obama commuted the sentence of Manning.

She was grateful for the release. She nearly killed herself. Manning (then born Bradley) was tormented for being a 5'4" solider. She was suffering from depression and threats of attack.

When she released the intelligence to foreign operatives, the U.S. suffered a major setback.

SOFTBALL HANNITY'S AND HIS VERSION OF THE SETH RICH STORY

The official softball of the Donald J. Trump Presidency ran a story about Seth Rich. The murdered former DNC operative was the distraction de jour. Sean "Softball" Hannity ran the segment on his right wing carnival. He was trying to use this as a distraction from Trump's loose lips.

The family of Rich said that there's no links between the murder of him and Wikileaks.

According to the softball, if there's proof that Rich leaked to Wikileaks, then it destroys the allegations of Russia meddling in the election.

The softball had Rod Wheeler on. The former Fox News contributor was hired by a Republican operative to investigate the claims of a cover-up. He isn't a family private detective. He is a third party hire who wants to be a part of it.

Wheeler and the softball insulted the DC Metro Police by saying that the agency was told to "stand down" when it came to the Rich murder. Local Fox affiliate annoyed Muriel Bowser, the mayor/governor of Washington, DC with stupid questions about Rich.

"STAND DOWN" is a part of the conservative word vomit. Conservative agitators used "STAND DOWN" during the killing of Osama bin Laden, Benghazi, Superstorm Sandy, Baltimore, FBI's investigation into Hillary Clinton's email, the tracking of Islamic State operatives, and the decision to not indict Clinton. "STAND DOWN" is being used in this kookspiracy.

The softball was once again beaten in the ratings by Lawrence O'Donnell. Hopefully MSNBC is noticing that Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell are winning.

COLBERT TOPS THE NIGHT

Stephen Colbert started off rocky. Now he's boiling hot! The CBS host is in striking range of Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show. The harsh jokes about Trump have seen a spike in his ratings.

Jon Stewart has encouraged Colbert, Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, and John Oliver to go hard on Trump. Their shows seen spikes in the ratings.

Fox News Rehashes A Clinton "Scandal!"

Seth Rich's murder sparks kookspiracy claims.

With all the talk about Donald J. Trump blabbing intelligence to Russian officials, we wondered what the conservatives are up to!

Well over at Fox News, it's hardly mentioned.

What's trending on social media this morning the hashtag #SethRich

The primetime line up did briefly discussed it. It soon turned into a conversation about Hillary Clinton. The conservatives are trying to rehash a "kookspiracy" about a former DNC staffer being murdered by Clinton and her top aide John Podesta.

Allegations of a murder cover-up are sprouting on social media. The untimely death of a former DNC staffer has gotten major coverage on only one network.

Reminder: Fox News shoots a "smoking gun" that squirts water. 

The Washington DC Metro Police can confirm that Seth Rich was murdered by an assault and apparent robbery. The conservatives are trying to push Peter Schweizer's claim that Podesta arranged a hit on Rich.

Rich was shot close to home. Metro Police were alerted to gunfire in the early morning. Rich tried to put up a fight and escaped only to have a few bullets placed in the back.

A former Fox News contributor named Rod Wheeler is claiming that DC Metro were told to "stand down" when it came to the Rich murder.

A familiar term in the conservative word vomit, the word "Stand Down".

Heard this word during the Benghazi attack. Heard this word during the Superstorm Sandy disaster. Heard this word during the unrest in Baltimore. Heard this word during the FBI probe of Clinton's email. Now I am hearing this word vomit through this.

Somehow, conservatives always believe that government agencies are inept under Democrats.

Allegations of Rich giving information to Wikileaks has picked up steam on the webs.

Wikileaks is allegedly working on behalf of Russia. It released Podesta's emails back in 2016 to undermine Hillary Clinton's candidacy. The FBI and intelligence agencies believe that Russia had meddled in the election.

Conservatives believe that Rich was trying to inform the FBI about voter fraud and tempering in the brutal Democratic primary between Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Clinton.

A Republican lobbyist is trying to shelve $100K to get information on who murdered Rich.

Jack Burkman is calling upon soon-to-be-outgoing Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) to investigate the allegations Wheeler and Schweizer made on Fox News.

The Democratic National Committee's chairman Tom Perez and former chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) dismiss these claims. They believe that Trump's allies are trying to tarnish Clinton. They believe that conservatives are "hurting" the Rich family.

To distract from The Washington Post's major bombshell report about Trump sharing intelligence about the Islamic State to Russian officials, conservatives are working on trying to blame Clinton for the death of Rich.

The FBI, CIA and NSA agencies are pissed over Trump's flagrant disclosure of intelligence.

Fox News is trying their best to calm a storm. Republicans and Democrats express concern that Trump's loose lips could out agents who work on behalf of American interest.



Keiynan Lonsdale: Heroes Are Accepted!

Kid Flash is played by Australian actor Keiynan Lonsdale. He announced on social media he's bisexual.

The Australian actor who plays Wally West/Kid Flash on The CW's hit show The Flash announced on social media he is bisexual.

Keiynan Lonsdale, who is best known for being on Dance Academy on Australian Broadcast Company got the gig that made him an international superstar.

And he won over social media by coming out strong.

"I like to change my hair, I like to take risks on how I dress, I like girls, and I like guys (yes), I like growing, I like learning, I like who I am and I really like who I'm becoming. Spent way too many years hating myself, thinking I was less valuable because I was different ... which is just untrue," said Lonsdale on the social media.

The actor is 25 and resides in Los Angeles and native Australia. He and Team Flash film their show in Vancouver, Canada.

Here's his posting from social media.

I like to change my hair, I like to take risks with how I dress, I like girls, & I like guys (yes), I like growing, I like learning, I like who I am and I really like who I'm becoming. Spent way too many years hating myself, thinking I was less valuable because I was different.. which is just untrue. A couple years ago I was able to accept myself, & it saved my life, but now I've gotten to a new road block & I feel kind of lost. I gotta take the next step & actually embrace who I am, which is pretty exciting. Not faking shit anymore, not apologising for falling in love with people no matter their gender. I've become bored of being insecure, ashamed, scared... no one should feel like that about themselves, especially when there is so much good life to live. Ya know more & more I see so many young people being their best / truest selves, it's fucking inspiring... so what have I been waiting for!? Who knows. Everyone in their own time. I hope we can all learn to embrace who we are & not judge people who aren't exactly the same as us. The truth is we are all family, we're all one. Just love. Keiy. ❤
A post shared by Keiynan Lonsdale 🥀 (@keiynanlonsdale) on

He said that more and more young people are becoming true to themselves. He said that if he is bold enough to address his sexaulity he could help motivate young people to love themselves and those they love.

Regardless of you being straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, or pansexual, you're a human being. You can be yourself and not be ashamed of being that.

"It saved my life, but now I've gotten to a new road block and I feel kind of lost. I gotta take the next step and actually embrace who I am, which is pretty exciting. Not faking shit anymore, not apologizing for falling in love with people no matter their gender. I've become bored of being insecure, ashamed and scared."

The Flash is renewed for Season 4 and the show's creators Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Geoff Johns have big plans for the younger Flash.

Loose Lips!


Trump may have disclosed classified information to Russian officials.

The Washington Post releases a bombshell story about the inept leader of this once great country sharing classified information with the Russians.

Donald J. Trump reportedly revealed classified stuff to the Russian ambassador Sergei Lavrov.

This certainly will raise tension between Trump and the junk food media's on going coverage of Russian meddling in the U.S. election.

Trump revealed information to Russians that could "jeopardize a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State," The Post wrote.

H.R. McMaster furiously shot down the claims but somewhat acknowledged the leader may have fucked up. Both Democratic and Republican lawmakers quickly voiced concern that Trump's apparent disclosure of intelligence could be a huge embarrassment on the spy agencies.

Trump allowed a Russian state news agency TASS cover the meeting which also gotten massive flack.

Trump banned the U.S. junk food media from the Oval Office meeting.

Trump meeting with Lavrov and Foreign Minister Sergei Kislyak was a mistake. Current and former intelligence officials said that the information that Trump inadvertently leaked was so sensitive that even the slightest mention interfered with their sensitive gathering. The details were classified to only a select few within the government and not shared even with the closest allies.

The Post cites that classified information was passed to the U.S. from a partner that wasn't identified.

Trump's disclosure of the information is a potential blow to the intelligence-sharing arrangement, and the White House officials are trying to cap this before it gets worse.

Republicans are now being taken to the woodshed over their obsession with Hillary Clinton's emails.

For the wasted money spent on hearings and the email leaks from Wikileaks, it's all but clear, Donald J. Trump and his allies have made a deal with Russian officials to help him win this election.

Trump and his conservative allies spent two years bemoaning about Benghazi and the emails. Guess what, what do you believe the Democrats and progressives are planning on doing?

They will dog Trump because of this.

Trump fucked up. BIGLY!




Trump Might Fire The Cannon Below The Deck!

Trump is in need of "Yes Men" and he may replace some of the staff.

He trademark's his memorable phrase, "YOU'RE FIRED!!"

The former reality television star, billionaire, compulsive lying, senior citizen leading this once great nation is planning on firing a handful of his staff out the cannon. Donald J. Trump is looking to "reboot" his campaign. So far the struggles of being the leader is stressing him out.

On Mother's Day, Trump heads to the golf course for another round in New Jersey. The leader of this once great country is considering a rebound in his handling duties.

Rumors afloat.

Stephen K. Bannon, Reince Priebus, Sean Spicer and Don McGahn might be fired out the cannon.

Trump is pretty pissed off at the rough rollout. He spoke at Liberty University yesterday to dismiss the rumors and the so-called "fake news." He went to NBC News to get a "fair" interview from Lester Holt. After that, he would get a lapdance from Jeanine Pirro.
Reince Priebus, Stephen Bannon, Mike Pence, Sean Spicer and Michael Flynn. The Trump team may loose more than Flynn.

On the programs, Trump stood silent about Sean Spicer, the current Press Secretary. Trump called former FBI director James Comey a "showboater" and warned him on social media to avoid telling the junk food media "lies" about their conversation. He even floated the possibility of ending press briefings. Trump He also dismissed concerns about his job approval. He also dismissed the concerns about Russia meddling in the election.

He flat out lied about knowing disgraced National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Consideration is Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle to take over for Press Secretary.



Powers Boothe Passed Away!

Powers Boothe passed away.
Overnight it was reported that actor Powers Boothe passed away. He passed away in his Los Angeles home from natural causes. He was best known for roles in Sin City, Agents of Shield and Deadwood.

The Emmy-winning actor passed away on Sunday.

He was 68 years old.

His death touched many in the entertainment industry.

The veteran actor won an Emmy in the 1980 movie Guyana Tragedy. The movie was a biographical drama about the American cult leader Jim Jones. He was the ruthless saloon owner Cy Tolliver in the HBO series Deadwood.

He did voice acting as well. He was on Justice League and played Gorilla Grodd, a major villain to The Flash and the League.



Andy Lack Is Trying To Turn MSNBC Into Fox News!

MSNBC's ratings surged in the age of Trump. Now the CEO of the network is trying to disrupt that by letting Lawrence O'Donnell go.

Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell, Joy Reid, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Chris Matthews and Chris Hayes are fiercely critical of Donald J. Trump. They are putting it down and ratings are up at MSNBC. But under the radar, their boss Andy Lack is trying to disrupt that.

It's causing progressive outrage.

There's rumors of cannon fire. Progressives are mounting a war against Andy Lack, the president of MSNBC because the possible cannon fire of O'Donnell despite the ratings.

Trump has personal ties to Lack. The leader of this once great country called Lack to complain about O'Donnell's program. Lack is trying to swing the network to be more balanced. This is calling a major backlash.

There's talk that he's trying to clean house with Hayes, O'Donnell, Reid and Rev. Al Sharpton.

O'Donnell's contract with MSNBC is about to end. There's word that Lack is trying avoid renewal despite him clobbering the competition in ratings.

O'Donnell was told to move his show to 6pm. O'Donnell felt comfortable in primetime and it angered Lack. Now the two are feuding and the disgraced Brian Williams is willing to take the spot.

There's calls to protest MSNBC for their swing to the right.

He's already pissed off Black journalists with the sudden replacement scandal on Today.
They are the voices of the resistance. With the addition of Brian Williams and Greta Van Susteren, the network is leaning to the right and it's pissing off progressives.
Lack hired Megyn Kelly, a former Fox News agitator who said "Jesus and Santa Claus were White." Kelly left Fox News after 10 years with the network. She and Gretchen Carlson were the key factors to the cannon fire of Roger Ailes, the former president and co-founder of the network. They hired her and fired Tamron Hall, a famed Black journalist. They downsized weatherman/celebrity agitator Al Roker's Today spot and moved her into the 9am spot.

Lack found replacements in Greta Van Susteren, Hugh Hewitt, Nicolle Wallace and George Will. These replacements are conservative. These agitators played upon the worse fears of America and they've done it on Fox News Channel.

Andy Lack, CEO of MSNBC.
Now that Fox News is sputtering with the sudden cannon firing of Bill O'Reilly, MSNBC seen its ratings boost with Rachel Maddow with Lawrence O'Donnell coming in next.

The Rachel Maddow Show has finished first for the first time since O'Reilly's cannon firing.

The Last Word came second beating Sean "Softball" Hannity's right wing carnival.

AM Joy is doing exceptionally well and always trending on social media. Reid replaced Melissa Harris-Perry. The former host of weekend program, Harris-Perry feuded with Lack after she was bumped for political coverage. She wrote an email to her friends saying that "purging" is happening and Lack is inept.

PoliticsNation did far better than For The Record with Greta Van Susteren. Sharpton held the 6pm weekday spot for nearly five years before he was demoted to Sundays.

Ed Schultz was then the 5pm weekday agitator. After tense conflict with Lack, Schultz was fired out the cannon on MSNBC. He would join RT America and promotes Russian propaganda and Trump.

We've seen major shakeups over at MSNBC before with the firing of Keith Olbermann.

Do you believe that Andy Lack is trying to turn MSNBC into Fox News?

What Happened To Jayson Negron?

Jayson Negron was another unarmed person of color killed by the law.

TAKE DISCRETION WHEN VIEWING THIS VIDEO.

I am getting fed up with this! I am getting tired of hearing about these incidents where police officers use deadly force on people of color. I am fed up with trolls trying to justify murder on the grounds of petty criminal acts. When a person of color is shot and killed by the police, usually the victim is unarmed.

The city of Bridgeport, Connecticut is bracing for potential violent protests. The fatal shooting of an unarmed teen by a White cop has sparked outrage in the community.

Jayson Negron was killed by a Bridgeport officer named James Boulay this past week. Police claim that Jayson and his friend were joy riding in a stolen car. They claimed that the car hit an officer.

A family member posted a video of Jayson being cuffed on the ground. The video shows that the officer shot him in the head and left him for dead.

The family member named Giovanni Rivera is disputing the police account of the tragic shooting.

The video footage provided by The Daily Mail is graphic. It shows Jayson's head pointing in a different direction. The bag 'em ups said that Jayson was shot in the chest.
A person films the lifeless body of 15 year old Jayson Negron. The Bridgeport Police rookie killed him.
Regardless of what happened, some questions remained. How the hell could an officer put a bullet in a handcuffed suspect?

Where the officers wearing body cameras when this happened?

Will the police and state prosecutor release the video footage of the chase and officer firing upon the suspect?

Why didn't they notify emergency aid to treat the victim?

And why the hell didn't they cover the body?

It was told that Jayson's lifeless body was exposed and not removed for hours.

A shaky camera phone video shows Jayson on the ground with his hands cuffed not moving.

People were shouting, "They shot him. They shot that man."

Bridgeport Police Chief Armando Perez is disputing the claims that his officers murdered an innocent man. He wants to clear up why the police failed to cover a dead body. He claims that the officers would have messed up evidence being gathered.

There were no guns, drugs or illegal substance inside the vehicle. The passenger Julian Fyffe was injured. He is speaking through his lawyer. He is disputing the claim he and Jayson were in a stolen ride.

The family attorney for Fyffe spoke out against the claims that police justified the shooting.

James Boulay is 30 years old. He is in the freezer pending an investigation. He will likely contact the police union and his lawyers. The police union will automatically disspell the belief that Boulay may have used excessive force. They will try to look into the previous history of Jayson and not Boulay.

The police unions will appear on local and national junk food media shows to get the officer's side of the story. If the video footage and possible body camera footage show a different side of what happened, the cop could be fired and indicted on murder or manslaughter charges.

Conservatives and that so-called "All Lives Matter" crowd justify the deaths of unarmed suspects on the grounds of a criminal history. Regardless of the criminal history, if the suspect isn't armed, why the hell are the police shooting them?

For every bad cop, there will be a dead cop! The good cops will be the ones who are killed. They do their jobs responsibly without bias or judgment of character. Good cops often serve their communities for the good of all citizens. They do not hide behind the "blue wall of silence."

No one is saying being a police officer is a stressful job. But with those with lack of training make it difficult to get information from witnesses.

With Jefferson Beauregard Sessions in the top cop position, you're likely going to see a cop get away with murder. Even with video camera evidence, cops are often acquitted of murder.

For the blood that is spilled, I expect a retaliation attack from the mentally insane. Think about it!

We just got past Jordan Edwards being gunned down by former Belch Springs, Texas cop Roy Oliver after leaving a party. Then a few weeks later, Kirkersville police chief Eric DiSario was murdered by this terrorist named Thomas Hartless. Mind you these events made national news coverage.

No telling how many other acts of violence occurred in the United States that didn't make the national headlines.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.

The bad cops always sees criminal through the lens of what they've seen on television. Obviously, I don't want to sound political, but White extremists are infiltrating police departments. These types hide their bigotry behind the badge.

Hog Roast!

In Charlottesville, the white extremists are protesting the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue.
The independent city of Charlottesville, Virginia is the flashpoint of a huge debate. The debate is the removal of a statue. The statue is a part of ancient history. The statue is a part of the losing side of the Civil War.

There were White extremists protests the removal of the Robert E. Lee statue.

The group surrounded the statue in Lee Park.

White extremist (and alt-right provocateur) Richard Spencer was there in attendance.

The city's vote to remove the statue has earned them death threats and possible terrorist attacks.

The statue is 93 years old and council voted overwhelmingly to remove the Confederate general statue. Lee was pro-slavery and led the South to defeat. The city rather devote their history to the slaves and Native Americans who died under Lee, Jefferson Davis, Nathan Bedford Forrest and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.

The removal of Confederate memorials has gotten White extremists upset.
The white extremists are bugging out over a relic being removed.
Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote in the Atlantic about this preservation of White extremism.

"The Confederate flag's defenders often claim it represents "heritage not hate." I agree---the heritage of White supremacy was not so much birthed by hate as by the impulse towards plunder. Dylann Roof plundered nine different bodies last night, plundered nine different families of an original member, plundered nine different communities of a singular member. An entire people are poorer for his action. The flag that Roof embraced, which many South Carolinians embrace, does not stand in opposition to this act --- it endorses it. That the Confederate flag is the symbol of white supremacists is evidenced by the very words of those who birthed it."

Southern Republican lawmakers have tried to pass bills that banned the removal of these relics.

Oftentimes, it's the very same Republicans and conservatives who bemoan about the Democratic Party being the founders of the Klan.

But the Republicans are embracing the Klan by electing Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence. The Republicans want to play on the fears of Black, Hispanic, immigrant, Muslim, and gay individuals.
Robert E. Lee is a part of ancient history. They need to place the statue in a museum.
Republicans rather be in your bedroom, your vagina, your pocketbooks and your recreational lifestyle.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions is an example. Sessions is now trying to impose mandatory minimums for individuals convicted of non-violent drug offenses. He will place more non-violent offenders in the private prisons. Sessions is more willing to defend cops who murder unarmed people of color.

And I remember this little encounter between DL Hughley and Megyn Kelly.

DL Hughley made a critical statement about White extremism. He said that white extremists are willing to infiltrate organizations of power. The police, the military and state legislation are usual places where White extremists are willing to infiltrate.

This debate in Charlottesville and many southern cities will intensify.

Conservatives have told liberals to get over the election. I guess they need to get over the Confederacy, Ronald Reagan and being in the majority. This is ancient history. They should put those statues in a privately funded museum. In my honest opinion, they should melt them down.

Bow Wow Ain't A Trendsetter!

Bow Wow tried to stunt. Epic fail.

Shad Moss, the semi-retired rapper and actor was catching a lot of flack this week.

Moss (known as Bow Wow) is being taken to the woodshed over his boasting of ownership of a private jet.

Well it turns out that the rapper is now labeled the biggest frauds in entertainment says celebrity agitator DJ Akademiks.



He posted that he was boarding a private jet onroute to New York to do a presser. It turns out that he was spotted in economy class heading to New York. The person who caught him had to get second glance of the rapper and check social media to verify it.




Very soon, the #BowwowChallenge was born. The meme is mocking the rapper for lying about his wealth.

The entertainer responded on social media.

"You don't live my life. Everybody like talk about the plane, I didn't know that was news. That ain't news. What is there to talk about?" he explained in video obtained by I Love Hip Hop TV. "Ain't nothing to talk about. I don't got nothing to explain to niggas. I been doing this shit for too long. It take a second to hate but it take you a lifetime to make 500k nigga, make 500 thousand talk to me. I'm bout to go get some food."



All Eyez On Me!


AllEyez poster.jpg

The autobiographical drama about Tupac Shakur is coming to theaters soon.

Benny Boom is directing All Eyez On Me. Demetrius Shipp Jr. will play Shakur in this movie. It will show the rise and fall of one of the most popular and controversial rapper in the world.

Here's the trailer of the movie.



It will be released in June.

It will detail Shakur's life growing up in Brooklyn. His talented for theater in Baltimore. His rise to fame in Oakland with the hip-hop group Digital Underground. Of course, Shakur's debut into the mainstream.

Are you going to see the movie?

Early thread: Tupac Shakur - Dear Mama, an ode to his mother Afeni Shakur. She passed away in 2016 and endorsed the idea of a movie based off her son.

GOP Felt Indivisible!

Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) felt indivisible.

The Republican Party's outlook for 2018 is still good. I predict the Republicans will retain control of the House and Senate. All that could change if we can encourage Americans to vote. Many Americans are discouraged to vote.

The Republicans count on low turnout from normally Democratic voters. That's why Republican governors are signing off laws to suppress voter turnout.

Donald J. Trump is looking like he can survive a second term. Even though its early in the first term, the conditions are good for him to win reelection.

Trump is more polarizing than Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

He is deeply unpopular and yet Trump can win reelection by the electoral college. The healthcare debate, the promises broken and of course the recent firing of James Comey from the FBI has made Trump a toxic figure.

These Republican special district elections in Montana and Georgia could be a precursor to the potential uprooting of the Republican majority.

Republicans are extremely nervous about the election. They know that unhappy constituents could make it difficult for them to win reelection.

Republican House members were met with fierce criticism over their support for the American Health Care Act (aka Trumpcare).

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC), Rep. Tom MacArthur (R-NJ), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), Rep. Dave Brat (R-VA), Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-NJ), Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) and most recently Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) faced brutal town hall gatherings.

Out of the 217 members who voted for the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, 20 members held town halls. Of the 238 members of the Republican House about 36 of them are in districts that could swing. It's hard to determine how Congress is going to handle business. They haven't really done anything spectacular since they took office.

But taking numerous recesses and facing rowdy town halls could rattle safe Republican and yes, Democratic districts.

Republicans have no real plan to repeal the ACA (Obamacare). They just threw together proposals and took the whim of the "do-nothing" House Freedom Caucus to fully repeal the law. They gutted regulations to the law. They threw out postitive results of Obamacare. Their version of a health care law could throw 24 million off affordable coverage. It could eliminate mandate that require insurers to not reject individuals with pre-existing conditions. It could head to state governments that could weaken the law itself.

Republicans beware. You spent 8 years dogging Barack Obama's presidency.

Democrats are furious and are willing to oppose everything Trump does. Even though they have the minority in Congress, they will instigate voters to oppose Republicans.

You Republicans stole a Supreme Court seat. You played on the fears of immigrants, Muslims, Blacks and gay people. You were the "Party of No."

You better know that its going down. The changing demographics assure that Republicans hold on the future will certainly be unraveled.
