He toyed with us over the Paris Accord for a week, when he knew damn well what he was going to do all along.
Just as he knows in this case what he MUST do (being guilty as sin).
And his action will precipitate the country into a constitutional crisis.
And brings on a moment of moral reckoning for everyone working under him.
Our best hope is if Rosenstein refuses and Sessions recuses.

(152 posts)yesterday. So what changed? I think it's bc Sessions all of a sudden agreed to open testimony.
DT must be scared shitless re what he'll say. I think Sessions is out for himself now & Trump be damned.

(4,673 posts)needs 45 for his very existence. Where else does he have to go? 45 will go along with all the nasty stuff Sessions wants to do now that Sessions is unshackled from being 1 in a crowd of 100.
Naw, I think 45 can count on Sessions. Rather, he's afraid of things Mueller will uncover that even Sessions and Flynn don't know.

He likes cookies, so he does not associate the odious Sessions with the Keebler elf.

(111,359 posts)to think it doesn't matter if we the people hate his guts or that the law enforcement agencies are out for his head. He thinks his money and star quality will keep him in office, for life if he decides he likes the opportunities for theft.
The one thing he can't cope with losing is the military. All we can hope for in that department is that his YUGE military buildup doesn't really materialize except in orders for more white elephant hardware nobody wants and that they all brush up on their copies of the UCMJ and testimony at the Nurembug trials.
Rosenstein should also recuse himself.
However, if Mueller goes, I hope the gloves finally come off in Congress and the Democrats pull every single slimy trick the Republicans have used since Nixon was ousted to hamstring everything they try to do.

"So what can we expect from Trump? Well, if he's a narcissist, then expect that *he will not resign or give an inch.* He will go to the end.
BUT, and this will be increasingly amusing, his lies will increase in volume and frequency. Contradictions and hypocrisy, too.
As the walls come crashing in - and they will - even his remaining supporters will desert him - and he'll throw a few under the bus.
Nobody matters but the broken ego at the center of the narcissist. They'll burn friends, allies, and the whole country if given a chance.
So let's all get marshmallows and chocolate bars and stress eat some S'mores as a narcissist tries to play out the end game."

(10,952 posts)protect him and refuse to stand up to him. Then our only hope is if we can build up momentum to take back the House in 2018 and make greater inroads in the Senate.
If the Demcrats are able to take back the House in 2018 and fail to impeach 45 there will be a mighty blowback on that.
This is the United States of America and we now have a Republican dominated Federal Government that is acting like we are in North Korea or the USSR. It is insane!
