I thought that was SOP since Trump took over the RepubliCONS.

he was going to "run through the tape!"

I guess not.

Sounds like the Tea Party caucus is about to go back to war with the party establishment.
But this time, the stakes aren't limited to the speakership, this will be about does the president get impeached by his own party?
Deplorables will say no, and say it publicly.
Establishment types would probably disagree (at least in private).

Whatever, it's their grave let them dig the hole however the hell they want.

so he's a hero to them but also useless

This is great!!

The repuke party is in shambles after attaining their fantasy of controlling all three branches of government.
(and would that be GREAT???????)

Didn't quite turn out the way they had envisioned, did it?

If anything the russians and the repuglicans/plutocrats have studied up well on how to manipulate the masses.

There are probably more channels of communication and cooperation than even the FBI/NSA/SOC can track. Of course a few leaks in these channels can be damning and jail-worthy.

I don't understand the how, who, and where this coordination is happening. Obviously the WH is a shell of a functional organization. The pResident is confused about election vs. erection. The US government in general is in a lock-down mode.

Someone is calling the shots from a "war room". Is it in the US or abroad? Is it out of NYC, Omaha, Beijing, Moscow? Is it more nebulous? Are the US intelligence agencies part of this? Sounds like a fun thriller - not sure I'll live to see the credits at the end.

Sometimes I think it's better not to "be in the know"

Is all that popcorn for the Mueller - End of Summer - Grand Jury Indictment Fest ?

I’ll take that chocolate covered caramel popcorn. I hope it comes with salt!

This is an important post. Let's not forget that the Speaker is third in line to the presidency. This is an attempt by the Freedom Caucus to have Meadows installed as President, assuming Mueller gets Trump and Pence to resign.

Astute observation and welcome to DU!

while the big blue wave wipes them out and we make Pelosi speaker again

Fingers crossed

It was awesome!

All that hype he puts out about himself paraded out there made him look like a blithering fool.

His pecker must have shrunk 2 sizes at least!

"... the last thing they need in this environment is 6 months of palace intrigue and everyone stabbing everyone else in the back."

Oh. What's been going on the last 15 months then?

You’re no survivor so take your own much vaunted medicine and disappear.

Life is for real survivors.

and do the right thing and begin floating some impeachment ideas.

He could. But I'm sure his supreme leader got a loyalty pledge at their meeting yesterday that he wouldn't do anything to hurt the orange troglodyte.

Any action that appears to them to be a betrayal of the Pumpkin King, as defined by their Oracles, Limbaugh, Hannity, and Jones. If the Speaker's office somehow fails to quash anything to do with impeachment, you can expect an Irish Exit to the side of whatever loved one looks worst on TV - the Family Health Crisis Gambit!

His loyal end after years of ignominious service with the brownshirts!

Eyes of cold-blooded Republicans everywhere filled with tears!
