Just a reminder that conservatives are pure hypocrites who don't give a **** about plays depicting violence towards presidents

It should be noted that if Trump isn't out of office by then, this is a best case scenario.

After 15 more months of this administration, the government we know and love may no longer exist, and the damage done could be irreparable.

What's the recourse when it's discovered that GOP won enough 2018 elections to stay in power by cheating (like death threats and SO MANY other ways), and nobody is left in government to hold them accountable?

Just something extremely desperate & stupid (like firing Mueller) can happen in a matter of minutes and has devastating implications if left unattended to by a Republican Congress. Firing the special counsel has to be done by the Justice Department or by changing the rules completely. The latter is too obviously a black mark, so having the DOJ do the firing is Trump's most likely action. That move would create a mass exodus of career professionals, first from the Justice Department, then from other areas of the government shortly after. Then Trump has control of who is or is not doing investigations in private and many many other things. Trump opponents in the government will either leave empty seats or be replaced by loyalty pledging yes-men like we saw yesterday at the WH, and all of it completely up to Trump's discretion.

Once AGs, lower courts, grand juries, and independent investigations are taken care of, it's SCOTUS time. Trump has 2/3 of the branches and just needs 1 for full control. He's already got a 5-4 lead there too. Add in any other appointments before the end of next year and it's double game over.

I think we're in a ton of trouble right now. Trump has so much margin for error that his evil aspirations alone may carry him through this.

EDIT: Lower courts may take longer than the SCOTUS for Trump to control.

If I was Trump I'd fire every special counsel until i found one that announces the investigation is closed due to Comey saying Trump's not under investigation on day one. There is no downside.

Sadly agree. Republicans are feckless and dems seem unwilling to organize a resistance.

"A.G. Lynch made law enforcement decisions for political purposes...gave Hillary Clinton a free pass and protection. Totally illegal!"

Totally fine to ask the director of the FBI to let an investigation go, of course.

[QUOTE=eyebooger;52375881]More official statements!



What are the chances these tweets are a calculated attempt to make sure his travel ban never gets through so he'll be able to blame judges if/when a terrorist attack hits the US? Even Trump can't be stupid enough to keep throwing up tweets that are sure to be used against what he says he wants passed?

Lost me here.

Trump sure seems sandy after his wife moved in with him. Will she be able to get him to stop binge watching cable news and sucking down KFC and bags of candy?

Unfrozen caveman president playing 4d chess.

great job except for one key element, trump's hand on lady liberty's ass is way too big.

She's probably keeping him topped up with junk food in the hope that he has a heart attack.

Nonsense. What about this picture indicates anything other than the obvious bliss these people are feeling?

The back of Barron's shirt (not pictured) reads "At the Cyber"

presumably

Given that he places blame on everybody but Donald Trump 100% of the time is reason not to take any of his accusations seriously. Obviously, and as it is with getting by in life, the more outlandish the claim, the more evidence we need supporting it.

A fully overblown outlandish claim, without a shred of evidence, and calling for investigation and imprisonment of the "accused" political enemy of the POTUS is heavily opposed EVEN IN RUSSIA. The fact that Donald Trump is and has been doing it in the US is a MASSIVE ABUSE OF Power that must be addressed while we still can.

The concept is similar for other Trumpisms that are 100% locks to happen like Trump not ever admitting to mistakes, or Trump not being able to hold Putin accountable for anything, or defense of Mike Flynn all the way up to the point of a Presidential Pardon. Calling every attack not committed by white nationalists "Terrorism", and scaring the public to death over it, is another example.

This level of secrecy isn't precidented in American history and serves zero purpose to the public and CANNOT be taken seriously because it's 'not even wrong'. How do we drive it home to the Republican base and get them to stop falling for Trump's CON JOBS JOBS JOBS??

Seriously f*ck this guy

This is about Senate Trumpcare



Jesus the hits keep coming save me lord

Although I must admit it is kind of strange to see so many people on Team Preet who hated him when he took their POKERZ away a few years ago

What could Bharara ever have gotten ol' Donnie for?

Out of all the Pod Save America guys, Faverau annoys me the most because he seems constantly surprised by the cynical maneuvering of the right.

A lot of things that seemed like big deals a few years ago suddenly dont. Life comes at you fast.

Lovett carries those guys. I can find sincere liberals wringing their hands about incivility and suboptimal policy anywhere. They are fine and solid, but not stand out talents. Hell, the podcast is almost worth it just for Lovett's ad libs during the commercials.
