Six months in...and, finally, it is all falling apart.

[NRaleighLiberal]

May it be swift - and may it be wide spread and take them all down.

and thank all of you DUers for bringing the breaking stuff from Rachel et al here - we don't watch TV - I get my news from DU.

Thank you...and thanks to Skinner and admin for this wonderful site.

[mucifer]

1. Not sure. This could take a long time. I really hope not.

[pirateshipdude]

2. I will believe it when it happens. Republicans are accorded lots of criminal leeway, let along

ethical leeway.

[dalton99a]

3. His fall will be as spectacular and terrific as his rise

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. I want it to be so fast that the wind blowing through his faux wisps is deafening.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. A big fat K&R!

I too am grateful for DU. THIS is the place for news.

[BigmanPigman]

6. Every time I get my hopes up nothing happens. Tonight the same happened.

The GOP in Congress are getting in on the "witch hunt" bandwagon instead of the opposite! A guest on Rachel or Joy said that more and more of them are saying the Russian issue is bogus BS. If this continues, even if he fires Mueller, pardons tons of family and friends they may allow him to continue. What is wrong with the fucking GOP?

[SergeStorms]

9. That's a rhetorical question, right?

"What's wrong with the fucking GOP"?

It's not really funny, but the amount of time required to answer that question is lifetime prohibitive.

[sharedvalues]

11. In a phrase: Bought by billionaire GOP donors

But you knew that

[Alice11111]

22. Many are all caught up in the conspiracy. They aren't going

to investigate themselves and make themselves liable.
Especially the leadership is in the Web.

[lunatica]

32. That's it exactly

The GOP must be full of people who plenty to hide so they don't dare go after one of their own.

[Alice11111]

41. Like they are all chained together. If several are thrown over,

MANY will go. Just like it finally coming out on Sessions today...of course, we knew it.

[workinclasszero]

36. Whats wrong with the fucking GOP is...

It can't hear the screams of distress from the average citizen because their ears (and pockets) are stuffed full of Putin's rubles and/or the dollars of the 1%!

[Oneironaut]

7. Stand by. This could lead to nothing.

It's not over until it's over.

[Honeycombe8]

8. I hope you're wrong, but know you could be right. nt

[sharedvalues]

10. Not done yet. Going to get messy.

He's definitely going to pardon people and fire Mueller.

That will be a crisis. How will the country weather it? I do not know.

[Hekate]

12. Stay tuned....

[uponit7771]

13. Its getting messy but until Red Don hugs a non-white person it's going to stay together.

[FailureToCommunicate]

14. Really Trump has failed in FIVE months. Maddow just reminded us that Trump has golfed for 40

days of the last six months! FORTY?!?
I guess one could argue that that was over a month that he WASN'T at the White House wreching our country.

[BannonsLiver]

15. I'm not popping the cork until the indictments start flying

[NRaleighLiberal]

16. being bannon's liver, you should stop drinking anyway!

[BannonsLiver]

17. Touche

[SCantiGOP]

18. Great screen name

Luckily, I have a good bottle of champagne that was supposed to be opened on election night when (Florida, Ohio, Michigan......) was called and Hilary was elected.

The first indictment might be a good use for the bubbly.

[Grammy23]

21. My bottle of Prosecco is still in the refrigerator from Nov.

It was SUPPOSED to be opened when Hill was declared the winner. Even bought snacks and everything. Instead my husband and a friend just sat there kind of numb. I made up my mind that the Prosecco would be opened when tRump goes down. Looks like that could be sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed.

tRump has a habit of settling things like lawsuits when the going gets rough. So if he is true to form, he is working on his exit strategy right now. He cannot be allowed to wiggle out of this. No matter how much I want him gone, he must pay the price for his crimes. And that goes double for his kids, too. Plus his aids and staff. Every last one that defended and covered up for him.

[misanthrope]

40. I agree with the accountability factor

He's already demeaned the institution enough with his behavior. Allowing brazen and proliferate criminal action to go unpunished will do nearly insurmountable damage.

[Alice11111]

25. Yeah. It's been like nothing he does matters, from the campaign

Until now. The Trumpsters think it's a liberal conspiracy to bring their sacred leader down. They think he should pardon himself. I was reading on Foxaganda a bit ago, and WaPo too.They blame Loretta Lynch, Obama & Hillary, with increasing fervor. I do fear it could trigger a civil war, probably starting some place like Austin, Berkeley, or Portland. These are not stable people. Gun sales are the highest ever. They have the guns.

Geez, it's bad enough that hillary was denied the Presidency. Now, they are going after her because Trump can't do the job.

[BannonsLiver]

42. I think he'll go down eventually

But I'm not sure we're much further along than the beginning of Act II at this point. Maybe further. We'll see how it goes.

[Alice11111]

43. I think this Mucci new Communications Director will

Give him another extension, and the stock market.

I'm Not sure why someone with that much money, well connected, not a true neocon, would jump on the Titanic. I guess we will eventually find out his connection. Anyone know?
He had a row w DT in 2015, but now they are BFFs.
LOVE is the word he used, like a brother.

He overshadows Sarah Huckabee Sanders so much that ,as boring as she is, she looks even worse. She is just a place holder.

[BannonsLiver]

46. Problem is

When you step into Trump world you inevitably get sucked into the trump vortex. So someone who might look slick and competent can quickly be rendered otherwise.

[Alice11111]

48. For sure toxic. Look at what he's doing to sessions. My ??

is why would this guy, Mucci, even take the job???

Nothing to gain for him...1pc chance...everything to lose...99pc chance. He doesn't need $$. The BS that he loves DT. Seems that there must me a motive or pressure somewhere.

[murielm99]

33. I haven't even chilled mine yet.

It is sitting in a closet, waiting.

[briv1016]

19. It's been "over" before. What makes this time any different?

[Alice11111]

44. It's not...yet.

[Gore1FL]

20. It was all falling apart long before the election.

I'm not sure it as ever really together. I'm going to need to see the resignation speech before I pop any corks, I'm afraid.

[cilla4progress]

23. Love all the different viewpoints here.

I, too, have a bottle of champagne, still chilling from November.

[Alice11111]

26. Yep!

[murielm99]

34. I think most of us still have that bottle...waiting.

[cilla4progress]

39. Yep!

[sunonmars]

24. Its time for the people to OCCUPY CONGRESS and bring it to a halt until Trump is gone.

[sunonmars]

27. When I think of what a Pres HRC would be doing now and what this shitgibbon is doing. I CRY.

[Alice11111]

45. Yeah. I cry a lot too. PTSD. Post Trump-Election Stress Disorder

[Kablooie]

28. It took 10 months from the Saturday Night Massacre to Nixon resigning.

We may have a long wait ahead of us.

[Greywing]

38. Trump is no Nixon ...

He's impulsive, says the most outrageous things in public and to the press while being taped and has twitter at his fingertips. We have not yet seen the equivalent of a Saturday Night Massacre but if that should happen I doubt it will take 10 months. Trump may try and hang on longer than Nixon to the point he is actually impeached.

[Doodley]

29. Trump's respect from GOP lawmakers is sinking fast. It needs just a couple of Senators to refuse to

back legislation until he resigns and it is over.

[secondwind]

30. You hit it on the head! It could all be

as simple as that.

[malaise]

31. and

I'm lovin' it

[cab67]

35. I don't care how long it takes.

I just want it to be so hard that Trump's portrait is never displayed in the White House. I don't want his likeness besmirching a national landmark.

[Dustlawyer]

37. I predicted shortly after the election that Impeachme proceedings

would start in July for Trump. I bet I am only off by a couple of months.

[broadcaster90210]

47. I'll believe it when I see it.

We are in so much more trouble than people realize.
