My friends we are reaching an inflection point. This is the moment of maximum potential or danger. Let us all hope or pray as is our want that our institutions hold and enough members of the opposition put party over country.
Do the Republicans really want to choose a man who lied thirty times in a deposition, used mob muscle to break up strikes, engaged in land deals with Mafia kingpins, harassed scores of women, stiffed small vendors, sold scam university courses to Iraq and Afghanistan war widows, and compared our intelligence agencies to NAZIS over the republic ?
Dear God please fill them with wisdom and foresight.

He's going to fire Rosenstein. I suspect this a bridge too far for even the GOP

I think this is 'cause Rosenstein told POTUS he'd be recusing as a witness (Comey termination) (n/t)

Rosenstein's immediate successor, who would oversee Mueller is a Bushie, not a Trumpie.

(748 posts)7. I'm certainly no "expert" . . .
but I've had experience with people with NPD, and I concur that this could be what we're now seeing. This was to be expected -- "being President" was always going to be the worst-case scenario for a person like Trump -- but I suppose I'm a little surprised to see it come on quite this quickly.
