    lol at the MSNBC conspiracy theories about how Trump will be impeached at any moment.

    I don't like Trump either, but I've accepted that we'll be dealing with him for at least 3 more years and I've moved on with life. I'm not obsessing about fake news and conspiracy theories the way you seem to be. If he is removed from office, it will be because Democrats run someone electable in 3 years. I wouldn't hold my breath. These are the same idiots who thought Hillary Clinton was a good idea, and did everything they could to silence massive dissent within their own party. They might even be retarded enough to try to run her again. In all likelihood, it's going to be 7 more years of Trump. You need to move on from the bargaining stage of grieving to the acceptance stage, or the next 3-7 years is really going to suck for you.

  2. It sounds like Papadopoulos was likely wearing a wire for the FBI as part of his plea deal since he was listed as a "proactive cooperator". Odds are that they have incriminating recordings, not just incriminating testimony and incriminating emails. That's important simply because lying to the FBI is a federal crime in itself. Now all of the other potential targets have to worry about whether they communicated with Papadopolous and what exactly it was that they said.

  3. The risk for Trump (and everyone else) is federal indictment. It's not political.
     
  4. Trump can pardon anyone and fire anyone who attempts to prosecute him. You are delusional if you really think anything is going to come of this.
     
  5. Under normal circumstances you could probably extract a resignation. But pretty much any story about Trump begins with the word "unprecedented". He'll have no hesitation about firing and pardoning like monkey just said.

    Exactly. Trump is not going to resign out of embarrassment like a typical President. A Republican controlled House and Senate will never impeach him. And law enforcement has no real power over him. How do you prosecute someone who can just fire the Attorney General and appoint a new one? A person who can pardon anyone? If you think any kind of federal indictment will stick, you have been watching way too much MSNBC.
     
  7. I've been skeptical of the Russian collusion stuff until this weekend. The US always needs a boogeyman to sell to the public and it's not unreasonable that an outsider like Trump would clash with the status quo. But Trumps statements this weekend seem downright suspicious....

     
  8. Flynn pleads guilty to a single charge of lying to FBI...which likely means he's turned over a crapload of critical evidence on the bigger fish involved in order to get such a light plea deal.

    The GOP will die with the Baby Boomers. It is extremely unpopular with our generation.
     
  10. I swear these fucking terrorists just love Trump. This just plays into his overall narrative the day before the Alabama vote. The Pedobear party might get a boost from this.

     
  11. I hope fake news didn't fuck this up!

  12. Finally some sanity with the Democrat beating the pedophile

    Probably for the best, for everybody. Moore was basically a To Catch a Predator with Chris Hansen contestant. He would have been a total embarrassment to AL and the GOP. And the Dems get a seat.

  15. He seems to have gotten China to flinch on trade... maybe there is method in this chaos.
     
  16. This is the most frustrating part. I am not pro-Trump nor anti-Trump, so I take it on an issue-by-issue basis, and its maddening to see him do stupid things like start trade wars with tariffs, only to have his position validated with success.

    I constantly find myself bouncing back and forth between him being a complete buffoon or if he is the 4D chess champion or if he is just incredibly lucky so far. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if his entire presidency turns out to be filled with all these scandals purposefully used as red herrings to keep the media occupied. It is certainly possible given how the man uses Twitter to divert attention.
