(2,434 posts)He is doing whatever he wants and thumbing his nose at the law and at us. He will continue to get away w/ whatever he wants to do so long as Congress and the courts allow it.

(6,974 posts)IF he can defend, cape for Nazis, Klansmen and White Nationalists and call them "nice" people (One of whom is a domestic terrorist GUILTY of murdering Heather Heyer), and he has the balls to pardon a murderous, racist scum ball like Joe Arpaio, then you KNOW that the fucker wouldn't hesitate to suspend the 2020 GE. We know that his small base (The ONLY people that matter in this world--the rest of us don't matter at all the media KEEPS reminding us) and too many in a majority GOP Congress in general up to now STILL support him
People keep saying, "He wouldn't dare do that" or "He wouldn't DARE do this," and when he DOES do something horrible (Transban, Muslim Ban) people say "Oh my God, how dare him!" He's always been a horrible person with no moral conscience whose skirted and broken the law. Again, he pardoned a murderous racist during a Hurricane without even speaking to his DOJ. He doesn't CARE about our judiciary who he's trashed before and he doesn't think the rule of law applies to HIM. It's how he's lived his LIFE. Plus, as long as he has a GOP Congress complicit in what he's doing or who are scared to death that he'll tweet-shame them, he can do ANYTHING he wants to.
There is NO presidential bar any longer. Well for HIM there isn't. Not that I'd want one to, but a Dem Pres. couldn't get away with this because a so-called "Liberal Media" would go after him/her.
We're fucked, even though from all I've heard, Mueller's slowly & carefully building a case against him of impeachment. He must have "something" because we have grand juries, and we KNOW by tRumputin's increasingly nasty & guilty behavior, Mueller MUST be getting too close to him/family/friends (Manafort/Flynn). And although tRumputin's mentally-deteriorating, as of now he still has enough cognizance to KNOW all of the evil, treasonous illegal things he's done. He--knows about all of the laws (RICO) he's broken & about all of the monies he's laundered with/for his "buddies" putin & the ruskie Oligarchs, crooks/mobsters in-general etc. Not that he thinks he's wrong for having done all of the hideous things he's done, but he KNOWS what he's done & so he has to stop Mueller. The a moral goblin has no conscience or soul. The lights have been on for 71 years, but no one's EVER been home.

(2,050 posts)And at the first sign of little t firing him he unleashes the kraken, you would think that they have one or two investigations ready to go to prosecution just waiting for the need to be unleashed.
Dump them in little t's lap and then fight the firing in court, it's been said he would have to go through Rosenstien to fire Mueller, and Rosenstien has said he sees no reason to do so.
It would be enough of a warning to Mueller to drop the hammer on 45 as I think Rosenstiens first call would be to Mueller after 45 told him to fire him.
It may be very soon that this all comes to a head.

(14,811 posts)He's pissed off way too many, especially those in the intelligence agencies & "The Fake News". He's toast. It's not a matter of "if" but "when".

(9,291 posts)No option, he knows what he is. His marketing is all he is, all he ever was.
I just think he will go on TV and announce that it is taking too much of good federal investigators time, costing too much and taking so long because nothing is there. It's best for America that we move on...blah, blah..
Thinking Americans go insane, nutty Americans get ready to protect the racist president. Some people may get hurt, Trump won't care either way. Then we will see what congress will do.
Have canned goods.
