I support protesting 100%, I just recognize that it doesn't accomplish much of anything, unfortunately. Occupy was effective at changing the dialogue nationally, but it sadly did nothing to save the poor and middle class from the oligarchs.

So I wandered over to fox and saw an article talking about the next AG, alright let's see what they think.

"Others being considered include Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, retiring Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, former Attorney General William P. Barr and Trump personal attorney Rudy Giuliani"

Barr is from the first Bush presidency and that's all I know about the guy but holy **** at this group of scumbags. Everyone else is a who's who of people that should be in the justice system not running it.
The other one discussed is apparently they've got a black lady who's a hard conservative who worked for Kavanaugh. aka stfu libs you're the real racists here

Protests almost never achieve a u-turn but that's a terrible reason not to protest.

People expect too much and then they get despondent when they don't get it. We have to be more realistic and protest because it's an important part of the political process. They also really need to stop spreading their defeatism.

i reckon most of u lot are mistaken on how bad this is. coverup is worse than the crime, drumpf acting against mueller is going to be more important in cementing his legacy as worst president ever and will be more harmful to his reelection chances than any conclusions which mueller will reach if left unmolested. bob is bait

comes down to simplicity of narrative, russia colluded by means xyz is way too complicated for billy ray in flint michigan to get his poor head around, but 'he fired the guy investigating him? must have something to hide' is something anyone that the average 12 year old can understand

imagine the debates in 2020 - 'this man is clearly not trustworthy because it was proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the investigation led by the honorable bob mueller the 3 that russia, probably acting on orders from high-ranking kremlin officials, put forward a plan which was almost certainly in violation of clause seven of the hatch ac'...

BEEEEEEEEEEEP YOUR TIME IS UP - PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOUR RESPONSE? BOB MUELLER IS PROVEN A RAPIST *audience applause*

much better is 'this man is not trustworthy because he FIRED THE GUY WHO WAS INVESTIGATING HIM, NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE FOLKS *gasps from audience*

and i have independently confirmed this theory by thinking about it

The cover-up is worse than the crime, except when your idiot failson makes the crime blatant and easily provable.

I’m hitting the streets at 5. Convinced my wife to wake up at 5am and get our workout done so she would join me. Working on rounding up others.

i'll be hitting the streets in dallas

There's just about no chance Mueller isn't fully prepared for this. This was easily the most likely outcome, and has been for months.

More likely than not Mueller is still holding a bunch of really bad ****. I'm not saying Trump isn't dumb enough to try to bum rush a guy with a loaded gun... but we shouldn't assume that him trying to take out Mueller will work out any better for him than firing Comey did.

the idea that we, a bunch of forum morans who have been calling this literally for months, would somehow be a level ahead of bob ****ing mueller and that he's caught off guard here or otherwise unprepared for this.....i find it to be a bit dubious tbh.

+1. The idea that Donald ****ing Trump is ahead of Bob Mueller on this is pretty silly as well.

I mean, I agree, but bad stuff actually happening to Donald Trump requires political, not legal, assent.

So far, we have Susan Collins and Mitt Romney expressing concern. Forgive me for not taking comfort in that.
11-08-2018 , 09:52 AM
Bob Mueller is a lifelong republican. He is not trying to bring down Trump.
11-08-2018 , 09:55 AM
You already said that.

From where I'm sitting nearly all the pushback Trump has encountered has come through legal means not political ones. The political system isn't going to do anything at all about Trump, so you better hope you're wrong.

Only thing I’m really optimistic for is whatever charges SDNY comes up with, largely because Trump won’t be able to pardon state crimes.

SDNY brings federal charges.

Well, guess we’re all ****ed then.
11-08-2018 , 11:10 AM
The whole Trump organization is a perpetual RICO violation on top of engaging in what I assume are pretty extensive state tax shenanigans. No shortage of state criminal charges to be filed.

I HATE saying this, but Christie is probably the least bad option--and by a significant margin.
11-08-2018 , 11:29 AM
Apparently Christie is on the short list. When compared to Bondi, Kobach, Giuliani, and Graham, he’s definitely the least terrible on a terrible list.

Lol ponied. It’ll be like the SOS position though when he teased us with mitt Romney, it’ll end up being Bondi in the end.
11-08-2018 , 11:31 AM
Snap take Christie given the remaining options. Not even close.
11-08-2018 , 11:37 AM
Zero point zero chance it’s Christie.... um, he threw Kushner’s father in jail.... really think Trump is going to take his chances with him?
11-08-2018 , 11:38 AM
i love how bondi is on the list. she straight up took a bribe as AG to not investigate trump university.. she shouldn't even have a law license..

i mean i know nothing matters, but come on..
