This will end in complete and absolute disgrace for Don the Con and his family

[malaise]

There is no other possibility

[cilla4progress]

1. ...

[gademocrat7]

2. The sooner the better.

[HipChick]

3. I agree....he should go ahead and resign now...

However he has no shame...

[heather blossom]

4. Damn shame

Isn't it🤗

[Pachamama]

5. Unfortunately, its also going to end in complete and absolute disgrace for our Country as well...

[Hekate]

48. Unfortunately, yes

Gods help this nation

[Alice11111]

70. His removal will restore the dignity of our country...

but, it will take electing competent Democrats and time to be back to where we were. The appointment of RW judges could last half a century, because of their decisions, lifetime appointments ( Gorsuch is only 49), and the precedents set by their decisions, which will last, until they are overturned by different courts...a rare thing.

[Generic Brad]

6. He is a dangerous, cornered animal

And if the majority of the GOP is truly compromised (as they appear to be) then we are heading for terrible times. Stay strong, my friends.

[Moostache]

7. Watch for saber rattling on North Korea imminently (n/t)

[Squinch]

8. Do you promise me, malaise? Because I'll believe you and feel much better if you promise it.

(And as I write this, I realize: I'm not kidding!)

[malaise]

9. Well any other possibility means the end of

America as we know it. They are going down.

[Squinch]

15. That is very true that it would be the end of America as we know it.

[malaise]

18. The unraveling of his beautiful life of lies

[irisblue]

23. that was amazing. Thanks Malaise

[malaise]

30. Notice how the orange pieces are gobbled up

[sheshe2]

26. I love!

[Squinch]

28. There is no possible way to watch that without smiling! Thank you.

[malaise]

32. Humans amaze me

We build something that beautiful to knock it down

[3catwoman3]

56. I would soooooooooooooooo...

...not have the patience for that.

Amazing

[malaise]

59. Same here although when I was a student we'd have a blast

with 1,000+ piece puzzles.

[tblue37]

71. Makes me think of the sand paintings of Tibetan monks. nt

[Blue_Roses]

57. Wow!

That was awesome to watch!

[dixiegrrrrl]

66. oooohhhhh....thats fun.

'Specially since I am not quite awake yet.

[Hamlette]

52. I feel we already lost America. I don't know what I have in common with his voters.

Several of which are in my family. They seem alien to me now.

[BigmanPigman]

10. I'm glad I went to Trader Joe's and got popcorn earlier today.

[SJMULE]

11. I want him to stick

around long enough for Meuller to corral all the players VP, Speaker, Maj leader, Atty General..... I dont trust Dems to not close shop if he resigned ( it happened before).

[NCjack]

12. If Putie's top spy in USA goes down, he's taking the top tier of Congress with him. nt

[Takket]

13. disgrace doesn't do it for me...........

this is what i like.........

[link:|

[malaise]

16. I want that too

Believe me

[Dem2]

14. He knows he'll likely need to escape to Russia

He's in way over his head

[enid602]

43. Putie

Are you sure Putie will take him? Might be more entertaining for him to leave the Donald right here.

[brush]

17. Yep, chaos follows him around like a shadow.

Right on the tail of the trump Jr. meeting revelations came the humiliation of his and the repugs defeat on the healthcare bill and now he threatens to fire Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller.

He bumbles from one high-profile debacle to the next with high-handed arrogance like the emperor with no clothes.

And it's been like that since he took over.

He's got to go for the good of the country.

I know his family is worried about their bottom lines falling like rocks.

Come on Ivanka, do something or your brand won't be worth crap soon.

[JohnnyLib2]

19. The Great American Mistake, 2017

It will take many years to repair what is left from this.

[Johnny2X2X]

20. A few Good Men moment

There will be a Col. Jessup moment. "Youre goddamned right I worked with the Russians to steal the election!"

[malaise]

35. Hope so

[Initech]

21. I hope he brings the whole damn republican party down with him.

May those fucking assholes never recover from this. It's an absolute disaster. They got what they wanted. Now time to get the adults back in charge.

[livetohike]

22. Now. Right now. I can't stand that slimy, corrupt, disgusting

family for one more day.

[Ilsa]

24. I want disgrace, mega fines, and prison for as many as possible. nt

[wendyb]

25. what happens when (not if) he fires Mueller?

then..do the goddamned Republicans start to stand up

[Duppers]

37. Absolutely.

I'm not as optimistic as others here.

Here's my scenario:

He's forcing Sessions and Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein out. We knew he would do this because when Sessions recused himself, he removed himself from the process of PROTECTING Trump. And Rosenstein has hinted that he has a moral backbone.

Trump will then fired Mueller and the Acting Director of the FBI!!!

Republicans will not stand up to Trump whatsoever.

Martial Law will be declared if we organize protests. Nazi Germany 1932?!


IF Trump has his way!

Трахать всех вас!!

[lastlib]

45. Call it "the Reichstag Firing"...........

[davekriss]

50. I kinda think that's as likely a scenario

...as anything else.

[superpatriotman]

27. Shame and disgrace are not things he recognizes

Never has. Never will.

If they're all shunned and exiled to Siberia, well now we can talk.

[rainbow4321]

29. Trump probably thinks Ivanka is next up

He doesn't give a rat's ass about Jr or Kushner. Once anything hints at IVANKA, Trump will fire whoever it takes...

[democratisphere]

31. Exile to Siberia is too good for him and his vile family.

[0rganism]

33. i thought for sure the 2016 election had only one possible outcome, i was very very wrong.

i'm seeing that it's unhealthy to underestimate the resourcefulness of evil people or to overestimate the discernment of American voters. that said, it seems to me like there is another way this ends.

Trump and the GOP congress force Mueller to end his investigation without publishing any reports.
thanks to perennial lackluster turnout and vote suppression, Democrats lose house and senate seats in 2018.
Trump launches a shooting war on the Korean peninsula, making himself a "wartime president".
Trump rides the "wartime president" bump and various Democratic missteps to a second term in 2020 and the destruction of America continues apace for another 4 years.

feel free to tell me why this won't happen.

[malaise]

36. Then it's all over

and I don't think it is - the system is bigger than an idiot like the Con.

[0rganism]

39. everything ends somehow

in a few billion years, our big sun will get even bigger as it devours a third of the solar system, and the solar system is pretty damn big by my standards.

the Roman Empire was the biggest player in history for many centuries, and it's long gone now.

sometimes big systems contain the seeds of their own demise.

[malaise]

60. Sadly they do

Marx saw that

[tblue37]

72. Yes, and he was right when he said, "There is no sanity clause!" nt

[briv1016]

47. It's not just Donald.

It's the quarter of the country that support him backed by every Republican in congress. That's definitely enough.

[moonscape]

58. And they have guns ... n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

34. Ahhhhhh.... we are

[Honeycombe8]

38. It should. I hope that happens. So far, he's getting away w/overt corruption.

Profiteering. Lying. Attempt at voter suppression. Threatening people, incl Senators and the AG and Special Counsel. Attempt at obstruction.

They need to culminate this by calling him in to testify under oath. Perjury.

[Gore1FL]

40. Let's hope he takes down the tea party while he's at it.

Trump is merely a symptom of that disease.

[nikibatts]

41. F* them. It's the country that won't be able to recover for a long time. tThe longer he is Presiden

the deeper the nation goest into a dark hole.

[spanone]

42. K&R...

[ailsagirl]

44. I keep waiting...

[volstork]

46. Damn,

I hope you are right. We are circling the drain...

[TeamPooka]

49. that or total oligargchy.

[Kablooie]

51. You seem to be disregarding the other possibility...

He becomes undisputed totalitarian dictator of America with NRA Republicans free to kill anyone who opposes him.

[LiberalLoner]

68. +1

[unblock]

53. It *started* in complete and absolute disgrace for them.

he was a prime pusher of the "birther" crap -- nothing but cynical lies and innuendo designed to appeal to bigots and to diminish the first black president of the United States for no reason other than the color of his skin.

Disgraceful.

[Zippyzagnut]

54. Sooner the better

Before they ruin the country beyond repair.

[Akamai]

55. And I sure as hope disgrace for all Republican leaders!!!!

[VOX]

61. They have no sense of shame, so they won't feel much of anything...

Other than anger, and a need to exact some sort of revenge. Even if #45 is thrown in prison (gotta dream) he'll still be a darling, semi-martyred "hero" of the right, and he'll never shut up as long as he has access to social media and walk-on privileges with Fox "News." His whining will be non-stop, even though no one with a microphone should go near this shithead.

But it'd be nice to have him out of the Oval Office. And quickly.

[muriel_volestrangler]

62. Ought to, if there's justice, but look at Iran-Contra

Huge illegal acts, with loads of people involved, including collaborating with a hostile country. Very few people convicted, pretty much everyone was was then got pardoned, and most of them continue their careers in politics and sleaziness. Hell, half the people in Watergate were welcomed back into the right wing fold.

This time, they were working with professionals (Putin), who were better at covering their tracks. If Putin wants to leave American politics in a state of disarray, it could be to his advantage if Republicans look fairly guilty, but without enough evidence to put a lot of them away. It gives the ultra-right base something to cling to.

[malaise]

65. Good point

but isn't that tame compared with this madness?

[Mr. Ected]

63. Would firing the Special Counsel and pardoning himself and everyone else involved

Be disgraceful? Because that's where I fear this is headed.

[malaise]

67. I hope you're wrong

[MiddleClass]

75. Don the Con, just check with his lawyers about the firing and pardons for him and the family

Somebody resigned, do not know who, just reported on Rachel and the Washington Post.

The article in the Washington Post is called.
"Politics



Trump team seeks to control, block Mueller’s Russia investigation"

949 Eastern, up next, on Rachel, investigation has turned criminal, next segment. Any moment now

[mcar]

64. K&R

[H2O Man]

69. That's the best

the Trumps can hope for. I think it will be far worse for them.

[spanone]

73. ...and that's the up side.

otherwise, America as we've come to know it, will not exist

[malaise]

77. +1,000

I have maintained from day one that American institutions are way more powerful that this fucking greedy, ignorant, semi-literate, short-fingered vulgarian who has absolutely no discipline - he runs his mouth even when that incriminates him.

[lanlady]

74. Gawd I hope you are right

The whole family has to go down in total disgrace and infamy or there will never be any end of them. The sons are just as stupid and amoral as the father, everyone in that family's orbit is a low-life. What worries me is that they'll never go away. Long after the Con in Chief is out of the White House, he and his damn spawn will be tweeting, jeering, insulting, wrecking, and the media will still chase after them. The Trumps are a cancer on the nation, hell, on the entire world. And they reproduce. A lot. That defective Trump DNA keeps spreading into new generations. It's downright depressing.

[catbyte]

76. Damn, I hope you're right, but I have lost so much faith in our political system that I think he'll

get away with it, McConnell will get away with it, Ryan will get away with it, and the only one indicted will be Flynn & POSUS will pardon him. End of story. Gerrymandering reigns supreme in 2018 aided by voter suppression & the Republicans maintain control. Somebody please talk me down. I've never been this cynical in my life & I hate it.
