5News reports:

President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.

[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

    Yes, but what's scarier is that we apparently have a bunch of Americans who gleefully buy into his delusions. Scary, indeed.

    Trump is not the cause, he is the symptom of a decades long campaign to cultivate those people. When trump goes down, those assholes will still be around and there is a good chance they will be insane with anger at seeing Donald Jesus Trump crucified for his sins.

    But do not be complacent, trump will only be checked if we the people work to check him. The upcoming congressional elections could easily be our last chance to turn away from the brink of permanent authoritarianism. The GOP will never stand up for democracy. Trump's packing the courts with toadies and sycophants who won't hold him accountable either. If we can't fix congress soon, all that will be left is for demonstrations in the streets and if that is what it comes too, many of the protestors will end up dying with jackboots on their necks.
