Say hello to our country's new leader:
Madam President, Nancy Pelosi ...
May she quickly get to work repairing our broken country !!
I'd say right now, the GOP must be in shear panic mode, realizing they MUST hurry the fuck up and get Pence to resign ASAP, and THEN "compel" the Hapless Groper to select and install our next president...
Time's running out !!

Send help.

Reps are just evil enough to try something like this...

This would have been his path to the Presidency.

(37,648 posts)He'll be President for a few days, until Pelosi takes over, right? Or would his ascent to President before Pelosi becomes Speaker make him the President for the rest of Trump's term? Whoa...that's a problem.
OTOH, the Republicans on the far right detest Ryan. They would fight it. Trump and Pence are their men.

(22,665 posts)But wait, there's more!!! @2:35m the question is asked.
"Just to button up one question. Did any advisor or anybody in the Trump campaign have any contact with the Russians...?"
Mike Pence: "Oh of course not..."
Nice game face, but you, Mike Pence, are a traitor.

(282 posts)Even though Cummings got the signed receipt that it had been received by Pence's office, Pence claims that he never saw it.
I don't remember much attention being given to it, then or now by Democrats or the media.

(13,485 posts)But for comparison, point drop in itself is meaningless unless it represents an historic percentage drop in the market as a whole. In ~1978 a 799 point drop would be nearly 100% of the market. Now it's like 3%. Still big but not historic.

(86,330 posts)at least a year ago... the whole cabal goes deep and even the Speaker is involved as well as a good third of Congress, both houses, if not more in the end.
New terms to get familiar with:
RICO Act
Asset forfeiture
succession of order
And then relax and smile, but only for a moment.
