Not surprised that Spicey barely made it 6 months. I can't imagine lasting a day trying to defend that train wreck.

I keep hoping that he wasn't forced to sign a "no books" contract.

Trump is pretty renowned for signing agreements with his employees not to ever disclose any of the shenanigans they encounter. Not sure such an agreement would be legal with a gov't employee, but who knows?

If such agreements exist, that would not preclude them from having to testify under oath, correct?

Why? Are expecting a trial? Who is going to bring these charges? The GOP house? GOP senate? GOP DOJ? And who is running the trial? The GOP SCOTUS?

I think the GOP House and Senate keep him around because it takes the heat off of them. I think they realize that he's as goofy as we do, but since that benefits them...

Is the only time someone testifies under oath at a trial or when there are charges?

Depositions are under oath, testimony before Congressional committees are under oath, and answers to questions from FBI are subject to prosecution, it is a federal crime to lie to a FBI agent -OR.

We may be seeing the downfall of the American Government as we know it. This the child of "party before country".
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

Two. You have to include his pooch, Sean Hannity. Hannity's head is so far up Trump's ass, he can diagnose his tonsilitis.

Party of one seems to be enough. Do you honestly think this guy is going to be impeached and kicked out of office when you would need even his own party to turn on him and set the wheels in motion? You live in a fantasy world if you do.

It would only happen if this deal with Russia gets worse and worse. Republicans will hold their nose as long as they can-BECAUSE they know he will sign anything they pass. They will stick it to the country with an incompetent in the presidency if it allows them to pass that Huuuuuge tax cut for their sponsors.cream919 wrote:Party of one seems to be enough.

ONLY IF the base (I know it's a long shot) finally says HEY, you can't do that with Russia and defend America. until that occurs, the hypocrites in Congress will go along because they are (doing the will of the people!!!))

AG can be fired if he doesn't play ball. Assistant AG can be fired just as easily as the AG ...and if Sessions and his asst don't fire Mueller when told to do so, (over/under August 15? sept1? ) , then they get fired and the next guy up has to agree to do so ...then what?

What? Party of ONE? What do you call all the sheep following him? Ryan doesn't count? McConnell? Rand Paul? .. The House is 10% tea partiers and the Senate 5% - That's a big chunk of loyalty to the Fuhrer ..He has the House, he has the Senate, He has the judiciary, and before November 2018, he is going to have his Reichstag event to galvanize the base even more ...Cream is right, unfortunately this may be the end of our government as we know it - same in Turkey, same in Poland, same with Brexit. I was told on Facebook Trump couldn't run a Banana republic ...but it seems he can take over the US

The fucking political hysteria is too much. To be impeached, there has to be EVIDENCE, not a load of bullshit.
Sharpy, your idea of a MILITARY Coup to destroy our form of Government indicates you need a long vacation or have become unhinged.
You are beginning to sound crazier than COACH.

The good thing abut times like these is there have ALWAYS been time like these! not the exact but predictabletions of doom.
I will admit that it is going to take some time and maybe some really drastic action by Trump or the opposition.

I'm not as alarmist as Tim is on this topic, but Sharpy brings up some decent points. There are some obvious checks and balances in place to keep the president in line, but it appears that most of those checks and balances are run or controlled by the GOP. That doesn't mean Trump would NEVER be impeached, nor does it mean he would NEVER be held in check by SCOTUS or the Senate, but if those checks and balances wanted to, they could effectively give Trump the full run of the place if they wanted to place party over nation. I'm not yet of the belief that none of these bodies of the gov't would hold Trump to proper standards. Most of us are probably still leaning more toward AlohaKev's comments in the past that there's a constitution in place and that Trump can't summarily violate it without catching a raft of legal shit. But still, what if the GOP-controlled bodies don't do their job? Who, aside from the voters, will keep their feet to the fire? What if there ends up being clear evidence of collusion and/or obstruction of justice by the Trump campaign, and if neither the Senate or House acts on it? Then what?
It's not hard to imagine violence, rallies, revolts, etc. I hesitate to use the word "rebellion", but what if the gun nuts start shooting at an anti-Trump rally? What if the military has to get involved to shut it down?
Not predicting a military coup, but it's not hard to imagine things getting really ugly in the next 12 months, and getting ugly enough to necessitate military involvement to quell some kind of revolt. I hope I'm wrong and Tim's wrong. I would fear for my family in those kinds of conditions.
