51. I don't care about Trump but

Mar 2017

I have the same feeling as post election... What will happen to our Country? Are all of the sacrifices and suffering by our ancestors for naught? Whatever happens will happen. Hopefully it will be the low point and we will have learned the lesson that division is not the answer.

Whatever the FBI is into, it is darn serious. n/t RDANGELO Mar 2017 #1
Yep - they're all shaking and wondering WTF do we do now? FakeNoose Mar 2017 #69
I am hoping that they all (top Dems as well) have not decided for the sake of "stability" LiberalLovinLug Mar 2017 #154
I think they're upset b/c their colleagues in Congress are implicated in this mess. bathroommonkey76 Mar 2017 #163
Burr seems likely. Did you notice how sick Nunes looked at his news confrence with Schiff yesterday Mars and Minerva Mar 2017 #171
I just hope she's not sad because Republicans will get away with all the crimes. Sunlei Mar 2017 #137

It seems to go further than Trump. We're going to need rolling impeachments. KittyWampus Mar 2017 #6
The Constitution is clear about lines of succession. It doesn't include your scenario. Eyeball_Kid Mar 2017 #28
It is a valid scenario. Stonepounder Mar 2017 #36
My dream scenario is that.... Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2017 #56

I'd love to say yes. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2017 #99
remember she said "I'm not going anywhere" almost like she knew it would eventually happen Laura PourMeADrink Mar 2017 #93
Your positing a conciliatory gesture on the part of Republicans that is not in their nature. Eyeball_Kid Mar 2017 #128
Of course not. nt Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2017 #132

NVP Paul Ryan Big_K Mar 2017 #86
Not if Ryan is at all implicated in investigations. KittyWampus Mar 2017 #89
This is exactly what I am saying. Thanks for stating it clearly. KittyWampus Mar 2017 #88
The more likely scenario tavalon Mar 2017 #174
If Pence goes first radical noodle Mar 2017 #49
That is exactly what the Constitution says. Remove POTUS and VP takes over. After Pence KittyWampus Mar 2017 #87
Unfortunately, there no longer seem to be ANY moderate Republicans in office. nt tblue37 Mar 2017 #144
So this is a case where they will follow the Constitution while at usaf-vet Mar 2017 #124
Constitution didn't contemplate President Gerald Ford, either. lostnfound Mar 2017 #173
Pence and the Republican speaker as VP is the legal order of succession. Sunlei Mar 2017 #135
Wrong again. Pence is in line to the Presidency. Ryan is not in line as VP. KittyWampus Mar 2017 #142
I know Pence would be the president, who is VP if not the "speaker of the house" as VP? Sunlei Mar 2017 #145
25th Amendment specifies as follows in Section 2 LiberalFighter Mar 2017 #172
yes, it will be Pres Pence and VP Ryan. This is something Republicans have planned for over a year. Sunlei Mar 2017 #177
by the way the list I posted IMO, half of them are backed by Russia Sunlei Mar 2017 #146
That's one possibility for the glum faces. MineralMan Mar 2017 #8
I think we'd see a more annoyed and angry Feinstein if it was a matter of Comey obstructing. Tommy_Carcetti Mar 2017 #11
I agree, really. I'm hopeful that what was revealed MineralMan Mar 2017 #20
I think Comey was blackmailed into bringing up the Hilary Email issue. TBA Mar 2017 #112

Thanks for pointing out... Blanks Mar 2017 #170
Citizens United wasn't even about The Sand Reckoner Mar 2017 #175
I doubt that Comey could have been blackmailed over something like the Hatch Act. Should he have politicaljunkie41910 Mar 2017 #156
Based on her emotional state bdamomma Mar 2017 #123
Exactly. It wasn't defiance, it was loss. Irretrievable loss. lindysalsagal Mar 2017 #160
I think the most probable explanation is that Comey told them nothing, and that the investigation is still_one Mar 2017 #14
That's possible, but I believe Feinstein would have reacted MineralMan Mar 2017 #21
