As for the various Democratic Senators like Byrd and Thurmond, they were told if they wanted to remain part of the Democratic party they'd have to accept and campaign for civil rights and racial equality from then on. Some like Byrd accepted that and spent the rest of their political careers working to further racial equality, some retired. Thurmond, who'd earlier in his career campaigned on a pro-lynching platform, couldn't stomach supporting racial equality and joined the Republican party.

And the Mueller investigation has so far indicted Manafort, Trump's campaign manager, the guy who replaced Manafort as campaign manager, Trump's National Security Advisor, one of his foreign policy advisors. Three of these guys are now co-operating witnesses. So lots more to come at some point.

I'm not sure he'll be impeached. Impeachment is a political process, not a legal one. The Democrats would rather run against a mortally wounded Trump in 2020 than have Trump on his way to prison and an untainted relatively normal noncontroversial Pence to run against. The GOP wouldn't vote to impeach Trump right now but who knows what Mueller will find?
Well if it is then your bellyaching about "muh gerrymandering" is kind of ummmm fucking dumb because then both Republicans AND Democrats would be restricting the voted of blacks in the South moron.


Thurmond wasn't "pro lynching" quite the opposite actually, never read about what he did in the wake of the lynching of Willie Earle have you? Strom Thurmond had a daughter with a black woman so yeah while he indeed was very PRO-segregation he was very ANTI-lynching and for good reason. Now ol' bedsheets Byrd quite a different story, but hey you know what you're talking about don't you son


So Mueller has indicted Trump? No? Then nothing is happening, nothing has happened....wake me up when THAT happens.


"B-b-b-b-but there's more to come........at some point"
