there is, on the horizion, is the point where tRump becomes more a liability to the rank and file repukes than their convenient puppet to get their bullshit agenda through.
we Dems think he already is a liability to them, but you must understand, their collective head are so far up their collective asses that they can't see anything let alone shit.
however, once this folly of their healthcare plan implodes, tRump now becomes the liability they all are fearing.
Watch as events quickly pick up speed to get rid of the halfwit.
it's coming.

(62,531 posts)he won't be able to sell shit.
it's kind of happening already with his many many many lies being exposed to everyone.
he will be nothing but a 12 year old tweeter with nothing else to offer other than getting us into a war. And even that, I honestly believe there will be massive push back by the house repukes.
they only wild card that scares the shit out of me, is bannon creating a false flag.

(62,531 posts)nixon, as crazy as he was, he still had a level of intelligence and statesmanship about him, so there was still respect for the man, grossly misplaced, but never-the-less respect.
tRump took a gigantic big fat dump on the presidency and the nation, especially when contrasted to how much of a massive statesmen Obama was.
even the repukes see it.
But they are now realizing not only is this guy all hat and no cattle, he doesn't even have a hat.
things will move really fast once the healthcare thing is over.
but what scares me is that, when things move fast, things get missed and a lot of creepy bastards that also should go to prison will slime their way out of it.
Everyone wants tRump rightly out of office, but let's all not be in such a rush that senate and house and most of all the Dems don't rush the point and miss all the shit tRump will leave in his wake that will have a long lasting effect.

(73,559 posts)Nixon also had some people around him, who not only covered for him, but were "on watch" for if he became immediately dangerous. They were afraid of what he might do.
Trump does not have that. Those around him are afraid of him, and what mean things he might do to them.
Javaman
(62,531 posts)little do they know, they have nothing to fear. They are just in the think of it and believe he's "all powerful".
once the shit starts really hitting the fan, they will probably realize they never had anything to worry about.
tRump for all his bravado and money, he's really nothing but a paper tiger.
H2O Man
(73,559 posts)is similar to the Nixon White House, where there was a shared psychosis. It's just playing out on current technology.
Javaman
(62,531 posts)or to translate, lol, they are caught up in their own bullshit they can't see straight. LOL

(62,531 posts)can't win them all, but getting rid of the orange menace and bannon would be a relief.

(46,166 posts)He's as much of a McConnell puppet as he is Putin's. The real players in this Kabuki will stay afloat like corks in a stormy ocean.
k&r for your thread.
"not only is this guy all hat and no cattle, he doesn't even have a hat."
I can't stop laughing about this one... just told it to a co-worker on our side.

(23,957 posts)even if it fails to prop up his popularity, i can't imagine Trump leaving that card in his hand unplayed
Javaman
(62,531 posts)he's so infantile that he will "take his ball and go home" meaning, he will make sure that none of us have any "fun".
He will be insane to remove from office. Plan on witnessing some truly fucked up behavior on his part. much worse than we have seen already.
I think if he tries to stop another war, congress will finally put their big pants back on and tell tRump to fuck off.

(15,303 posts)Putin establishes a marionette in the WH and multiple lackeys in other agencies.
Putin escalates a minor conflict into a major conflagration.
The US blusters according to script - hopefully no slip-ups leading to deaths above 100,000,000.
The USSR and its puppet decide on a cooperation agreement. Cash is transferred. Enemies and journalists are disposed of. Most of us can find work in the CCA/USSR camps - of course no health care...
Life Is Wonderful!

(13,871 posts)If the rank and file back Nunes' unethical actions I don't think they will turn on Trump over health care, which is a much less serious issue right now.

(9,865 posts).....followers watch is not even telling them what's happening. Nunes is helping the cover up and speaking in terms that FOX can spin into a way that validates 45's accusations that O bugged him.
The very fact that Nunes is breaking with precedent and talking the way he is, straight to the media, shows that the Repugs are hellbent on a cover-up.
Given a choice between their own power and finding out how Russia infiltrated, they will choose their own power.
Hard to have a break point for people who have no shame, no values, no commitment bigger than their own access to power. They control all branches. And the T-voter will never even know what's happening---because they read only Breitbart and watch only Hannity.
Javaman
(62,531 posts)they are abandoning him in droves once they saw this colossal pile of shit gop healthcare plan.
there will always be the diehards, but they only make up about 25 to maybe 30 percent of the gop base.
and right now, the orange menaces approval stands around 35-37 percent and dropping.
he's losing those swing voters, and just like george w. moron* when he finally left office he had the lowest approval ratings of any exiting president.
it was around 25 to 26 percent, that is the concentrated base of die hards.
tRump will get there within the year.
hence he becomes a major liability to anyone running for reelection on the gop ticket.

I'll add "break point" to the shoe and the boot that are always about to drop.

(62,531 posts)get reelected.
they want scrape that shit off themselves as fast as possible and will distance themselves to anything tRump does.
that means, they will be telling the orange menace to get lost when they start their campaigning.
so yeah, he's done.
