"The president does not appreciate the magnitude of what could be in store next year..."

[Miles Archer]

“Winter is coming,” The Post quotes one ally in communication with the White House. “Assuming Democrats win the House, which we all believe is a very strong likelihood, the White House will be under siege. But it’s like tumbleweeds rolling down the halls over there. Nobody’s prepared for war.”

“Within Trump’s orbit, there is consensus that his current legal team is not equipped to effectively navigate an onslaught of congressional demands, and there has been broad discussion about bringing on new lawyers experienced in white-collar defense and political scandals,” The Post said.

A spreadsheet leaked over the weekend from the Republican caucus about possible investigations they anticipate Democrats will do if they take back the House in November. The list includes everything from ethics investigations into Trump’s cabinet to the inadequate response to Puerto Rico when it was hit by Hurricane Maria.

“Still, Trump has not directed his lawyers or his political aides to prepare an action plan, leaving allies to fret that the president does not appreciate the magnitude of what could be in store next year,” The Post continued.

1. Maybe DT knows the fix is in. n/t

[Sherman A1]

18. Could be that or it could be that he is clueless

neither would surprise me.

[Scurrilous]

2. K&R

[Thekaspervote]

3. Maybe he'll resign... one can hope

[Lugnut]

5. He won't resign....

The FBI agents are going to have take him out of the White House in handcuffs.

[dchill]

7. In my dreams!

[NanceGreggs]

4. We all know Mr. Stable Genius ...

... has been mentally unstable for years, and the stress he's under is exacerbating his unstable condition.

His ego won't allow him to believe that he can be taken down. He's too smart to be outwitted, outplayed and outlasted by people like Mueller.

He continues to surround himself with people who tell him what he wants to hear, instead of what he needs to hear. I've no doubt that Giuliani is constantly filling his head with the idea that everything "can be taken care of", and there's no need to worry.

As we've all heard repeatedly, WH staff do everything they can to placate him, keep him calm, to try to fend-off his penchant for saying/doing things that are self-destructive.

Given the above, it's no wonder that he is clueless (as he is on most things) about what's really going on.

16. His antics are wearing down his staff

Rachel had a segment last night that tied to the WH Attorney leaving - and have clarity on the people who surround 45.

Two more months. However, I don't think it's going to be easy. We are in for two years of insanity. I don't think 45 will go quietly, gracefully, or with dignity.

6. Or he knows the fix is in again.

And he has nothing to worry about.

Ugh.

[lastlib]

8. Tax Returns.

First thing I want is his tax returns. Then Russia

[WePurrsevere]

9. Well, isn't it nice that the Rs gave Dems a 'to do' list...

Mind you this also proves that they know damn well what they 'SHOULD' be investigating but are NOT.

[JustAnotherGen]

17. This!

There was some GOPer trying to demand that we put Impeachment front and center.

If it is so mission critical - then the GOP should be putting it front and center - and doing it NOW!

[WePurrsevere]

19. The Dem leaders/pols are being 'cautious'

They're saying that they want to see the investigation run its course and evidence brought put before hand. I just don't hear/see a lot of Dem politicians/leaders banging the impeachment drum yet. It's heavily done by Republicans using it as a fear tactic but I suspect it's actually wishful thinking and they 'want' Dems to clean up THEIR mess (again).

[BlueStater]

10. He really made that pose while he was at the damn podium with the presidential seal?

[Cha]

11. Good. "Only the best". Let Fucker Fraud be

shocked.

[Awsi Dooger]

12. Poor headline writer at Raw Story

"Takeover" is correct in the lead within the article, but the headline should be "take over"

[greyl]

13. Yep, Raw Story is a half-assed operation. nt

[NewJeffCT]

14. Donny seems to grasp the situation

He was basically threatening evangelical leaders the other day that if Democrats won, there would be violence and all the executive orders he's signed would be overturned quickly.

[uponit7771]

15. +1, economy too saying people would be poor if he gets impeached
