Even at his unofficial propaganda ministry, Fox News, the natives have grown restless. Geraldo, Cavuto, Smith are speaking out against him, bigly too. His campaign's in shambles. He's running on two strategies: the economy, which is not polling well and with tariffs will probably get worse, and immigration, pushing the bugaboo myth that without the orange crusader hordes of brown killer aliens will be invited to flood in. But by exploiting a horrible tragedy in a desperation move. With Russo-bot help. Grave robbing the victim for political gain is as heinous as the crime. Neither will work. No way is anyone going to build that idiotic wall. No way.
Something's changed. He can't double down anymore. Played the same old tricks so often they no longer work. Even Sessions is fighting back. He's already doomed and there's so much more to go: Mueller, Trump Org., Pecker, Cohen and probably divorce. He stinks of racism and misogyny, and corruption and porn. Even without Mueller, he's done.

(1,798 posts)What the republican senate chooses to do. Even if we impeach Trump the senate will have to convict...
Otherwise, he'll serve out the rest of his term. What charges he gets charged with in the mean time will have to wait until he is out of office.

These two-bit ones can't overthrow the entire system - they don't know what they've been fucking with.
They're going down.

(23,542 posts)Mueller gave some damning stuff to New York. So he can fire Mueller and Rosenstein. But, it's too late. The roots have taken. They are saying in New York court his takes will probably come out as evidence.

(6,881 posts)He's being abandoned even by his cronies. He can't even hold on to the ones he had.
Who takes him serously? President or not. The Justice Dept., State, CIA, NSA, even the Pentagon? He's created his own "deep state". He can't replace the whole government with loyalists. There aren't any left. Even Pompeo has been sitting around like an angry dog. Reason that MAGA epic parade he was so jacked about was cancelled. It wasn't because DC said "too much" it was because the Pentagon said "you've got to be kidding." "Well, maybe we'll have it next year". Week from Tuesday. Right. Over whom in the government does he still have any respect or leadership ability to control?

(38,427 posts)Four or five months before Nixon resigned, no one thought that would happen. I remember. The exact same thing could happen again, or not happen. Many good events are also unexpected. A couple of years before Obama was elected, it couldn't have been imagined except by a few. Therefore, the point is we don't know. Something could happen suddenly with the Russian aspect of the probe and Trump could be gone in a couple of months. Or as many have said, Trump could manage to squeak out the next few years...Hopefully we will all observe, and my greatest hope is that there is no war of any kind in the next couple years till a Democrat is elected President in 2020.

(15,751 posts)Especially with the huge number of investigations, pending issues in courts, - unprecedented. Compounded by the irrational unpredictability of the wild traitor trump, putin, . . .
It should be interesting. Never before has so much of what is going on, has ever been so public.

(7,538 posts)announced it is considering pursuing criminal charges against the Trump Organization the other day. Their mandate is whatever they say it is, I guess. They would have a field day with his tax records...and if they subpeonaed Weisselberg, that's all she wrote.
