Afromania
(2,768 posts)now, everybody is getting to see how little of it there actually was. They'll get rid of him because he's a bumbler and is casting a spotlight on their garbage. They're like roaches in that they scatter when the light goes on. I'm confident we're gonna get Pence in there within a year. We have to be careful not to become complacent because he knows enough to keep Bannon on speed dial on his burner rather than, you know, sitting in the oval office behind THE desk.
Kath2
(3,074 posts)I am so ashamed.
yuiyoshida

(3,074 posts)But this country sucks right now and I am so ashamed of it.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)With The Republican FUCKING with Elections, it may be a long, long time before a Democrat gets into office again.
Kath2
(3,074 posts)And they will fuck over women, workers, minorities and immigrants as long as they have power.

(174 posts)if anything is discovered, which is exactly why nothing will happen, they need to cover their own hides, and that inadvertently means shielding Trump.
Same happened in iran-contra, all the collaborators covered up reagan/bush's mess, because they knew they'd be liable for treason too.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)unfortunately.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)I wonder how they would react to a smoking gun. Could they ignore it? That would be interesting.
poli3
(174 posts)in the first place. They thrive on loathing, because they have nothing else.
Alice11111
(5,730 posts)The Dems are outnumbered in every branch & every position of power. All we can really do is make noise, make them fear prosecution, or fear losing their positions . That fear will mainly come from the press exposing them. Support the press and ACLU. Call them out so they know we are watching.
ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)absolutely nothing. tRump could beat his supporters daily with a 2x4, and they would brag about it on FB and Twitter. "President Trump broke four of my ribs!"
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)If there was a smoking gun his approval rating could be driven into the twenties. What would the GOP do then ? I don't have a clue. Where do I get the twenty percent figure? That's the number of Americans who would be comfortable living in a dictatorship. That is how much the hard core Deplorables suck.
ProudLib72
(17,984 posts)But I don't think it would drop into the twenties overnight. I guess what I'm responding to is that everyone believes that the discovery of a smoking gun will automatically oust him. We have several guns already and nothing is happening (true they might not be "smoking", but they clearly establish connections worth investigating that Chaffetz refuses to do).
My pessimism stems from the fact I am tired of being misled into the false belief that tomorrow's revelation will end his reign. Cry "wolf" one too many times...
Alice11111
(5,730 posts)There have been smoking guns already.
His popularity is going up with his base and non voters .
Just being realistic.
We should keep doing all we can, but no more Pollyanna.
ornotna
(10,798 posts)We're still fucked for at least the next four years.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)And Democrats unless strong, will remain underdogs. This country may collapse before we see Dems in power again.
Alice11111
(5,730 posts)and rolled back Obama's progressive legislation.
Spider Jerusalem
(21,786 posts)then he'll resign rather than being impeached (if his ego can allow him to, that is), and Pence will pardon him, most likely.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)do you go along with that assessment? Have we fallen to the DARK SIDE?
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)Nixon, for all his flaws, was finally able to be persuaded by reason- and the threat of impeachment.
Trump will probably need to have the whole process go all the way through.
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)The GOP isnt gonna impeach the guy unless there's such glaring ugly evidence they have no choice. Peeing hooker video would probably help, too.
But if it gets bad enough, they will all ditch him en masse for President Pence.

He'll stay put as long as the gop's agenda is moving along.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)basically we are fucked.
Kath2
(3,074 posts)Biggest mistake this country ever made.
Alice11111
(5,730 posts)Short of more press breakthroughs, and no matter what they find, if his own lips didnt stop him, with , I grab pussys, then what can. Treason w Russians...Comey wouldnt even release the evidence before the election. He let Flynn off without an investigation within 48 hours.
WE ARE FUCKED!!!, but we have to keep plugging anyway.
Kath2
(3,074 posts)Right on.
"No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here!"
"No ban, no wall, the USA welcomes all!"
"No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!"
I felt so fucking good to be screaming these slogans in DC today!
Resist, Alice11111!!!!

(41,829 posts)Do you really think the Republicans will? As Trump once said, He could shoot someone down in Fith Avenue in front of millions and nothing would happen to him. He wouldn't go to jail..nothing. The Republicans need him to be their useful idiot whose job is distraction, and while he does that they will strip down the government and pocket all the money, loot and rob this nation of its very soul, until all that's left is a distant memory of what this nation originally stood for.

oberliner
(58,724 posts)Unless the Democrats get control of Congress. Even then, hard to say.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)With the Republicans cheating at every TURN, do you think we will ever be in charge again?
My answer is fuck no!
oberliner
(58,724 posts)Certainly not on the House side.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)VOTING has very little meaning any more, because they have cheated on everything in the elections. There is a huge list of everything they have done to make it impossible for a democrat to vote and have their vote count. The mess is too much to clean up... but it will have to be done eventually if we want fair and clean elections.
right now, that statement is a joke, there are no fair and clean elections.

jalan48
(13,852 posts)yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)But I think he has too much invested in this, and... The Republicans need a useful idiot to be a distraction, so they can clean house of government programs and funds.
MrPurple
(985 posts)Trump will start a war...Iran, probably. He wouldn't go down without throwing out every trick in the book.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)They only will want him gone if Pence is better, but they need Trump to be a distraction so they can do what they want. Trump is their USEFUL IDIOT.
solara
(3,836 posts)because #45's lapdog, sessions, is AG, which is clearly the plan they had all along in case any of this Russian bullsh*t hit the fan; and they are such inept bad guys it was really just a matter of time.
For sure sessions should recuse himself, but he most likely won't, so anything that comes up about Russia, or the emoluments, which #45 is still not dealing with, will be largely ignored.
White, rich, privileged, entitled, powerful and famous- yep Dolt #45 can pretty much do whatever the hell he wants, especially after his SCOTUS is installed.

briv1016
(1,570 posts)If public opinion continues to go against them, they'll simply enact further voter suppression measures. Why do you think Donald continues to claim that millions of people voted illegally?
I fully expect them to enact 50 state voter ID, end all early voting, mandate "modernized" (paperless) voting and implement "authorized poll watchers." When all else fails they'll expand the voter purges.
This is the Republican's '18 and '20 plan to maintain and in some cases expand their hold on power.
yuiyoshida
(41,829 posts)Their idea of making America great again, is gutting the entire system and making it impossible for a Democrat to ever get in office again. Even if it eventually means making this country a one party system, and not allowing anyone to vote, who is not rich.
