1 House R tells me: VP "Pence is probably rehearsing... It’s just like Nixon. It’s never the underlying issue; it's always the cover-up."

1. there is nobody in the line of succession who is worth a damn. mcmaster was the

only one who had the slightest apparent integrity, and he sold his soul.

2. Rehearsing to tell his lies she means?

Pence is in this neck deep, problem there is isnt Ryan next?

Paul Ryan will not rest until he takes Medicare from YOU and bankrupts YOU.

3. I hate to agree with the Mensch brigade but

I think the top level of the GOP is complicit in this whole thing. There is no way the head of the transition team (Pence) didn't know some of what was going on.

10. And of course since the rules dont apply to the GOP, and rest assured they do not, he

will sail right into office, begin his assault on gays, women and brown folks and we cannot stop him.

12. Unless he's under investigation as well. nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

13. So what? Lets say he is, and the FBI then asks Jeff Sessions to include

him in something, Sessions refuses and the GOP refuses to impeach.

I think the whole bunch are technically above the law if they decide to be. I am not a lawyer, I am just ASSUMING that IF the GOP can protect them from justice, they will.

14. I agree they'll try and protect whomever they can

but there will come a time when it's not politically expedient to do so, I think.

And if all this hangs on until 2018 and we take back the House then all bets are off.

[Eliot Rosewater]

15. Hope so. As to 2018, we wont take anything back if we let the new "purity" movement rule the day.

I am not sure what I can say here without risking looking like I am talking about last year.

But let me put it this way, if what happened last year happens again, GOP retains both houses and the damage will continue and get worse.

9. If we get rid of 45,

and Pence becomes President, I could see Ryan working actively to get rid of Pence. Bless his Ayn Randian little heart!

[Eliot Rosewater]

11. If that happens, get a 2nd job and start putting away to replace Medicare.

He is gonna take it eventually, as President it will just happen faster.

4. On a milk carton?

He's been amazingly absent lately. ....

6. It boggles how they can't see how ousting Orange Dirtbag by their own initiative

would be a feather in their own cap.

"We are the Party so ethical, so patriotic, and so looking out for you, the American people, that we got rid of a dangerous lunatic, even though he was elected as a Republican!"

They might have already resolved to get rid of him but are waiting to be nearer to the 2018 mid term elections when their BRAVE DEED will be fresh in the mind of voters.
