He's goin' down:

The question is when?

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Who takes him down? So far not one patriot in the GOP willing to do their job, is there?

[zentrum]

19. Agreed. The fix

...is in six feet deep and wide. He may be immune for all practical purposes. I'm not optimistic yet.

[Norbert9]

31. We only need three Senators! THREE!

[Kablooie]

42. Nope. To impeach we need 25 R in the house and 19 R in the senate.

It will be nearly impossible to get all those votes.
He's going to stay.

[malaise]

2. Name the lawmakers

They must go too

[guillaumeb]

4. Perhaps Ryan and McConnell as a start. eom

[bdamomma]

11. Yes, I would love to see them

implicated.

[KewlKat]

6. to be more specific, name the LIAR lawmakers.......

[malaise]

7. They're ReTHUGs

That's a given

[BainsBane]

18. The article does name some of them.

[Warpy]

3. Major broadcast media are treating the Russian connection story like it's radioactive

When they put it back at the top of the news, that's when he will be on the way out.

Either they don't have official confirmation or they don't want to admit how suckered they were over the last year and a half while a lot of this bullshit was going on.

[femmocrat]

10. Since p*ssing off CNN, the NYT and others today...

we can hope for more explosive revelations! Fingers crossed.

[babylonsister]

12. I think they're waiting for the other shoe to drop, i.e.,

official confirmation. The media obviously now loathes him as much as we do; about 12 months too late, but I'll take it. Maybe that's his game; piss them off enough to get him impeached, then he can play golf til he drops.

I always have to keep in mind he only cares about himself and his 'legacy', though he has a very bizarre way of showing it.

[doc03]

5. I don't think he is going anywhere unless he decides to quit himself. It seems every time

we think he does something illegal someone says it isn't the next day.

[Norbert9]

32. my greatest fear

[PSPS]

8. Says who?

Face it. As long as trump can use a pen, the GOP will leave him alone and protect him. Trump will give them everything they want in return. There is no mechanism in our legal or political systems to do anything about this.

[babylonsister]

15. "They'll pull the trigger"

I sure hope so...but you're right, they're getting everything they want first.


Robert Reich explains how the GOP is playing Trump until they can dump him

‘They’ll pull the trigger’: Robert Reich explains how the GOP is playing Trump until they can dump him

Writing on Facebook, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich relayed a conversation with a former GOP member of Congress who claims current members of the House are playing along with President Donald Trump for now but will dump him at the first possible moment.

According to Reich, he recently had breakfast with a Republican friend who claimed he held his fire over his misgivings about Trump during the election, saying, “You kidding? I was surrounded by Trump voters. I’d have been shot.”

That was when the conversation took an interesting turn when Reich asked his friend what the GOP will do now that Trump is president.

“They’ll play along for a while,” the unidentified friend said. “They’ll get as much as they want – tax cuts galore, deregulation, military buildup, slash all those poverty programs, and then get to work on Social Security and Medicare – and blame him. And he’s such a fool he’ll want to take credit for everything.”

Asked what happens then, the Reich’s friend laughed and said, ‘They like Pence.”

[Fantastic Anarchist]

43. Then the Democrats need to make them own that, too.

Get out in front of it and detail how the GOP is cynically using Trump's treason to take away Medicare and Social Security before finally starting impeachment proceedings.

Push the GOP into action instead of pussyfooting around.

[yallerdawg]

9. Republicans went to Nixon and told him it was over.

In this case, it will probably be a family intervention - there is no way they want to leave the White House with this legacy and their fortune in shambles.

Private medical condition? I wouldn't ask what it was!

[BumRushDaShow]

13. Before they do that, they will get everything they want out of him first.

which will leave us in a shambles that will probably make Shrub's shambles look like a walk in the park.

[yallerdawg]

17. They can get what they want calmly and rationally with Pence.

There are a number of Republicans in the Senate who love America - and have no love for the Corrupt One in the White House.

When they flip, it is over.

Watch them at the "State of the Union" Tuesday and the next day! It could be over real soon!

[BumRushDaShow]

21. Their "base" did not elect Pence

That is the main reason why they are keeping Drumpf there as the auto-signer-in-chief. Sure Pence could do it but the foaming-at-the-mouth Drumpf supporters would be livid and would target every single one of the non-teabagger reps who dare touch their golden calf.



I am debating watching the SOTU. May end up putting it on CSPAN with mute and closed-caption.

[samnsara]

28. very true....

...doubt if they even know who pence is. they are addicted to trumps rhetoric..

[NutmegYankee]

41. Fundie nut jobs I spoke with want Pence.

He's a Christofascist like them.

[madokie]

14. The problem is

its not going to happen quick enough. This cretin is doing America damage as we're discussing the goings on right now. He must be stopped

[ProudProgressiveNow]

16. K&R nt

[kimbutgar]

20. Please make it so

I wake up everyday wanting this nightmare to be over.

[rzemanfl]

26. Here's an "m." I want it to end too. n/t

[kimbutgar]

29. Fixed the m

[rzemanfl]

30. Yes, but did you cut and paste the "m" I sent you? n/t

[kimbutgar]

37. Ha ha!

[mgardener]

22. Fucking repubicans

They have never taken responsibility for their actions since Nixon.
We cannot let them get away with this.
We gave them a pass with Nixon but NO MORE.
NO MORE!

[Mr. Ected]

23. No, the question is "By Whom?"

Someone describe a scenario where a special prosecutor will be named to investigate Trump, Pence, his advisors, his cabinet, and Congress with respect to their relationship with Russian benefactors.

The crimes are obvious. The punishment is doubtful. No checks and balances.

[C_U_L8R]

24. The rats are clearly scrambling

Some of them may not like the idea of jail time
and leakers might become full-throated whistleblowers.

[iluvtennis]

25. How ironic for someone who touts news is FAKE to illicit media help to drown out Russia

[StevieM]

27. I doubt it. He is already committing impeachable offenses right out in the open. (eom)

[calimary]

39. Yes indeedy! Sure looks like obstruction of justice to me.

This makes Watergate look like a kiddie party.

[Kingofalldems]

33. Even his morning buddy Joe Scab is going after him I am told.

[INdemo]

34. The Repulican controlled Congress will stall proceedings till' hell freezes over

and Democrats will be helpless....

[dixiegrrrrl]

38. We need THREE Repubs....that is all we need.

Does not seem impossible, since Trump has alienated everyone but the most far right lunkheads.

[malchickiwick]

35. Paging Jason Caffetz. Please pick up a white courtesy phone. And do your fucking JOB!! (n/t)

[nevergiveup]

36. One thing we have going for us is that

this crowd, including their leader, keeps doing stupid stuff. Intellectually lazy and morally corrupt people with too much power always shoot themselves in the foot. If they go down it will be the stupidity of the cover-up, not the crime.
