Stand Well Back, Folks! The Pressure Is Growing at the White House.

The pressure gauge has nearly pinned itself and the needle is in the red zone. When it blows, there's going to be messy, stinky gore thrown everywhere. Don't get slimed. Stand well back!

We can only hope. The bigger question for me, and I'm sure for many others, is what will be the long term damage to whats left of our Republic?

I wouldn't want to clean up the slime that will be spattered on it, and I would not expect some poor dry cleaner to clean it up for me.

Do not put it past these treasonous criminals to orchestrate some sort of 9/11 type event in order to distract us all from this. This bunch of psychopaths had no problem colluding with a foreign enemy to install themselves into power. They wouldn't think twice about sacrificing American citizens in order to further their grip on power. They will do ANYTHING to stay in power, and the DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

cooler heads in the military will prevail. I seriously doubt that if he says "Bomb North Korea!" the response will be "Sir! Yes Sir!"

If you look at that photo of the Joint Chiefs from his little dog and pony show the other night, you can tell that they all hate his guts. I think there will be a military coup and/or an assassination before they let him use nukes.

out from under this mess. There are trillions of dollars and entrenched Russian oligarchs at risk here. What way out works for both the Trump oligarchy and the Russian oligarchy (including the richest man in the world, a former KGB spy)?

Republicans must act swiftly to protect the United States of America from what is amounting to nothing less than a foreign coup running the show.

They will define themselves by their actions right now. And if Ryan's speech this morning is any indication, they're digging their heels in.

We are in a constitutional crisis.

Agree! Someone needs to light that match right now, and the flames need to burn up the traitors - not burn down our country.
