Until the actual pee video shows up, the Republicans wont turn on him.

Sure they will. Once they know Trump is hurting the GOP more than helping, they'll throw him to the curb like a sewer rat.

Someone ITT mentioned it earlier. Right now, it's political suicide to go against him.

Well, it does involve water.

Not sure. Let's take the sanctuary city stuff for instance. Let's say all large urban cities join together and say No, we will be a sanctuary city and will not instruct our police to look for this. What if in turn the feds decide to cut all funding to those cities? Is it not possible that the cities affected form some kind of coalition to strike back?

Let's say conclusive proof comes out that Trump is on the take, that we can prove he is treasonous in some way. Is there a possibility of a recall election? Nobody voted Pence into office, and there is no way to assume he didn't have some idea it was going on. A traitor winning the election due to outside influence seems like perfect grounds for a recall.

So the key to #TheResistance is somehow convincing Putin he would be better off with Pence.

There is no chance of a recall, would require an amendment.

Lol even the Kansas City local news is trolling Trump.

seems like such a recall would require the GOP to risk giving up some power, so the likely answer is lolno.

538.com has a great tracker for those in Congress supporting Trump.

I read this whole monstrosity of an article and the whole time I was baffled as to how so many of these people that have massively profited off of the system that has now given us Trump are thinking of hiding instead of coming up with solutions. It really just shows that the rich and powerful will do very little to stand in the way of an authoritarian like Trump and are more likely to pack up and leave or go along with it.

They real joke is that they're going to be safe in that bunker if the **** really hits the fan. Hmm let's see I'm in the national guard and I've got bazookas and grenades, but no food... how to remedy this? No, can't steal food from the rich *******s who brought this on us all. That would be WRONG.

I had posted a NYT article a few days ago written by a conservative talk show host saying how conservatives needed to return back to fact based conservatism and that the short term gains of saying millions of illegals vote is outweighed by long term damage of having a delusional base. It got me really pissed. The GOP def needs to fall on the sword for this ****.

Tell them to go back where they came from obviously.

Obviously, though, right? One of the benefits of being rich is that you have way better risk mitigation strategies than a regular bozo. Rich people can gamble a lot more on politics just like they can in casinos. Lots of rich people are sharp enough to understand that the downside risks of Trump were way larger than an average politician but went to bat for him because they calculated they can fade a lot of the terribleness, including some really bad case scenarios.

All along during the Trump era, going back to the campaign, I think there's been this quiet, unspoken assumption there is some shadowy band of elites or just the effects of some questionable set of incentives that will force people to confront and ultimately defeat Trump. I understand the psychological need for that; it would be comforting if it were true. But it's not.

Here's the thing: there were plenty of wealthy elites who voted for or explicitly supported Trump but understood the risks as normal people describe them. They are just calculating they can still come out of it OK.

I feel like I had this conversation with bobman recently, who was expressing some disappointment with the mainstream GOPers for not subverting Trump. I was *sort of* giving him one half of a lecture for being naive and one half of a lecture for the despicable nature of anyone who tolerated the last 40 years of the elite + extreme right-winger media/thought bubble nexus. People say the left looks down on the angry white tribalists and surely they do, but the right has been ****ing taunting them. They've been training them like dog fighters condition Mastiffs. They've been making ever increasing promises drifting ever more from reality with escalating preposterous rhetoric about scape-goats and fostering their fear and paranoia -- all in the service of less taxes and less regulation. This whole insanity has been transparently been building and the GOP, companies and interests allied with their outcomes have been engaged in it for decades now.

And the responsible parties knew what they were doing and kept on taunting the dogs and giving them scraps and giving it bait animals to work with.

And when **** hits the fan and the dogs go berserk in the pit and start attacking everyone, the trainers and the owners and the bookies are going to be the first ones out of the arena. No question. Don't expect any less. They won't be the vanguard defense corps of the dog fighting game to settle things down and get the dogs back on their leashes. Come now. Anyone who is sleeping better because they know elites seem a little disengaged and careless now but once their profits are threatened or we veer away from stability, they'll set things right THEN -- won't happen. This is why you don't cynically cultivate anger and fear and paranoia in people and we all should have done more to raise the alarm, because the people doing it had absolutely no mitigation strategies or plans to clean things up if they went south. Well, they did, but their back-up plans were for them, not you. Twas ever thus.

BREAKING NEWS: JAN BREWER IS STILL A HOT TURD.

The hippie dippy West coast people sure have changed a lot over the years.

WTF are you babbling about?

I'll defer to people who have security clearance but lol.

Not sure if Donjr is talking about snow

I guess I need to start buying more bullets and MREs?

Under those circumstances he would be impeached, or more likely resign and be pardoned by President Pence. Sort of like Nixon-Ford. There is no mechanism for a Presidential recall.

You'll probably see President Pence handing out tons of pardons before this is over. Somebody should make book on it, like an over/under on the number of people President Pence pardons.

Its always good practice to buy more bullets.

Good post and yea. I guess it is obvious and disappointing that people would be unwilling to take responsibility and just continue to do what is in their best interest regardless of the pain it has caused others. I mean they pushed policy that created this so that they would benefit.

This is the backstory:

Trump brought up the issue while meeting with 10 senators who were there ostensibly to focus on Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch. Ayotte was in the room because she has signed on with the White House to shepherd Gorsuch through the confirmation process.

A source familiar with the meeting confirmed that before the meeting turned to Gorsuch, the president told the group that he and Ayotte lost in New Hampshire because thousands of people were “brought in on buses” from Massachusetts to “illegally” vote in New Hampshire.
