I think it is coming soon myself.

and lead to him being put on trial for obstruction of justice. I wouldn't try to predict anything Trump would do, but as long as he is in office there is a question as to whether a sitting president can be indicted. Firing Mueller would put great pressure on congress to impeach him.

Then the Dems would be in position to impeach and convict him.

if Trump can stop the investigation and Republicans do nothing.

CA, NY and New England states will be the first to go.

We will never be a United country with such a huge segment of cult-worshipping morons and Republican criminals. I support a division of the US with Blue states either forming a new union, or joining Canada.

Who gets the nukes?

We're a blue urban/red rural (and purple suburban) country.

There's cities in Texas that are as liberal as any on the West Coast and rural parts of California that are crimson red and hostile to anything Democrat.

This makes secession a little complicated.

Alabama may have some liberal Democrats in it, but the State will likely never be a cultured, progressive State. Guess people would have to decide if they want to stay in their largely Red dominated states, or move to the northern states.

The people most outraged by this have already sent Democrats to DC. You think anyone who voted for Trump will give a shit if Mueller is fired?

Trump's lousy "tax cuts for everyone" plan is what will cost the Republicans Congress. But even our best case scenario, there won't be the votes in the Senate to ratify impeachment.

We can neuter the orange ape

After all the screaming and noise dies, the only practical bad side to Trump firing Mueller would be that some centrists and moderates might come aroubd to really disliking him.

Anyone seriously think that Trump cares about that?

no

I think he is aware of that. He is obsessed with his image. He knows that firing Comey didn't make the investigation go away. He knows that Mueller will most likely hurt his image as more and more comes out. He is doing a tightrope walk. I suspect his anger at Mueller will eventually make him lose his cool and he will fire Mueller. I don't think the R's would impeach. He will opt for the short term solution and suffer in the long term. If he takes this action it will hurt the Repubs in the midterms. The longer he waits, the less time they will have to spin it before the midterms.

What I am trying to say, is that there is not much of a short term risk to him as compared to a long term risk. He does seem to be very short sighted.

One can only guess at what a dotard will do.

People will take to the streets in multiple cities in massive protests that won't be one-day events.

The deplorables will all also and there will most likely be violence between right wingers v antifa, and regular people outraged that trump would make an attempt to stop his crimes from being exposed.

National Guard will be called up, the country's future will teeter on the brink.

Who knows if it will survive such a blatant attempt to subvert justice?

There would be a reaction, and it might hurt him in ‘18 and ‘20.

But Trump seems to thrive on chaos. I’d guess he picks chaos and an uncertain future over an investigation that will definitely keep causing him stress and headaches.

By 2 million concerned Americans might do it.

They will call it the Christmas massacre.

Trump will shrug his shoulders and plead ignorance. "I wanted the investigation to continue."
