May it be swift - and may it be wide spread and take them all down.
and thank all of you DUers for bringing the breaking stuff from Rachel et al here - we don't watch TV - I get my news from DU.
Thank you...and thanks to Skinner and admin for this wonderful site.

(51,584 posts)The GOP in Congress are getting in on the "witch hunt" bandwagon instead of the opposite! A guest on Rachel or Joy said that more and more of them are saying the Russian issue is bogus BS. If this continues, even if he fires Mueller, pardons tons of family and friends they may allow him to continue. What is wrong with the fucking GOP?

It's not really funny, but the amount of time required to answer that question is lifetime prohibitive.

Especially the leadership is in the Web.

That will be a crisis. How will the country weather it? I do not know.

I guess one could argue that that was over a month that he WASN'T at the White House wreching our country.

(13,868 posts)Luckily, I have a good bottle of champagne that was supposed to be opened on election night when (Florida, Ohio, Michigan......) was called and Hilary was elected.
The first indictment might be a good use for the bubbly.
Grammy23
(5,810 posts)It was SUPPOSED to be opened when Hill was declared the winner. Even bought snacks and everything. Instead my husband and a friend just sat there kind of numb. I made up my mind that the Prosecco would be opened when tRump goes down. Looks like that could be sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed.
tRump has a habit of settling things like lawsuits when the going gets rough. So if he is true to form, he is working on his exit strategy right now. He cannot be allowed to wiggle out of this. No matter how much I want him gone, he must pay the price for his crimes. And that goes double for his kids, too. Plus his aids and staff. Every last one that defended and covered up for him.
misanthrope
(7,411 posts)He's already demeaned the institution enough with his behavior. Allowing brazen and proliferate criminal action to go unpunished will do nearly insurmountable damage.
Alice11111
(5,730 posts)Until now. The Trumpsters think it's a liberal conspiracy to bring their sacred leader down. They think he should pardon himself. I was reading on Foxaganda a bit ago, and WaPo too.They blame Loretta Lynch, Obama & Hillary, with increasing fervor. I do fear it could trigger a civil war, probably starting some place like Austin, Berkeley, or Portland. These are not stable people. Gun sales are the highest ever. They have the guns.
Geez, it's bad enough that hillary was denied the Presidency. Now, they are going after her because Trump can't do the job.

(5,730 posts)Give him another extension, and the stock market.
I'm Not sure why someone with that much money, well connected, not a true neocon, would jump on the Titanic. I guess we will eventually find out his connection. Anyone know?
He had a row w DT in 2015, but now they are BFFs.
LOVE is the word he used, like a brother.
He overshadows Sarah Huckabee Sanders so much that ,as boring as she is, she looks even worse. She is just a place holder.
BannonsLiver
(16,358 posts)When you step into Trump world you inevitably get sucked into the trump vortex. So someone who might look slick and competent can quickly be rendered otherwise.
Alice11111
(5,730 posts)is why would this guy, Mucci, even take the job???
Nothing to gain for him...1pc chance...everything to lose...99pc chance. He doesn't need $$. The BS that he loves DT. Seems that there must me a motive or pressure somewhere.

Greywing
(1,124 posts)He's impulsive, says the most outrageous things in public and to the press while being taped and has twitter at his fingertips. We have not yet seen the equivalent of a Saturday Night Massacre but if that should happen I doubt it will take 10 months. Trump may try and hang on longer than Nixon to the point he is actually impeached.
