(51,630 posts)"The Rob Porter scandal that has the W House under siege is a heat seeking missile to the heart of many of President T's biggest fears and vulnerabilities". I disagree. First, the Fucking Moron has no heart (like the Grinch...he only loves money and himself). Second, his biggest fears and vulnerabilities are of Mueller nailing him and his spawn for money laundering. Collusion and conspiracy come second and third behind the dirty money in his businesses for 30 years. This is where he "drew the line" with Mueller's touching him.
If Mueller is fired then the states' AGs will nail him for this in NY. Mueller has crossed his "T"s and dotted his "I"s and even if the moron gets rid of him, is pardoned by Pence, or whatever we have the states' laws behind us.

(15,154 posts)With the DOJ changes this week, and with the firing of Rosenstein and Mueller on the horizon, the State AGs are the only things that allow me to sleep these days. I think I'm pretty resilient, but all of this news is wearing me down.
Better go walk my dog - time to chill out.
Thanks for your post BP.

(12,404 posts)I doubt that he has given it any thought whatsoever. He sees that kind of behavior as perfectly acceptable, if the man is loyal to him and doing his dirty work.

(291 posts)That phrase itself sums it up. That is who he is and always has been. This boy has not changed. Watched some old clips of Trump last night, to those who say age has changed him I say BULL!

(11 posts)My MIL had all kinds of sayings. One of them: "Tell me who you loaf with and I will tell you who you are." He surrounds himself with staff who reflect his crooked mind and he has nerve he hasn't used yet to call Hillary crooked. He filled his cabinet with deplorables just like himself. "Birds of a feather flock together."
