If Trump fires Mueller, Dems need to default on the debt and shut government down in September

[NewsCenter28]

Not to mention doing a sit-in on the house and senate floors or whatever else is necessary to prevent any and all business from being done to prevent Trump from setting up a dictatorship. The sit-ins would be especially needed if McConnell ends the legislative filibuster to keep the government open and default from happening. It's our only choice to save America. The demand would be Mueller's reinstatement.

1. If Republicans gut health care, Democrats should do this too.

2. 100% agree on this until KGOP puts Meuller back in charge then fuck em ... really crash the whole

... thing and fuck Red Don

[sunonmars]

3. Yup, threaten to collapse Congress until shit happens

[Golden Raisin]

4. And citizens take to the streets in a nationwide mass March of protest.

[mythology]

5. That would be short sighted.

Defaulting on our debt would have major ramifications to the world economy. Trump will end up out of office one way or another. He isn't able to set up a dictatorship. Just like the Republicans who claimed Obama was going to do so or the Democrats who said Bush the younger was going to.

6. No.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. no. we can do many things but a debt default is absolutely irresponsible and dumb

in an era where we are trying to establish ourselves as the adults in the room.

[Jakes Progress]

8. republican would do this in a minute. But

Democrats actually care about the country and the people who live here. Shutting down the government means during the poor and the sick, while merely inconveniencing the assholes who vote republican.

9. Why do you think Republicans will raise the debt ceiling?

They're probably looking forward to defaulting on the debt and the Donald never pays his bills anyway so he doesn't care. This would be a wasted effort for Democrats.

[Laxman]

10. "The Dems" Don't Need To Do Anything....

why rely on someone else to take care of this for you? It's not the only choice to save America. It's time for citizen action. We've become an arm chair democracy-you want someone else to fight the battle for you. These are extraordinary times. They've happened before in our history. They'll happen again. The only way democracy is threatened is if we sit idly by and let it happen-hoping that somebody else will come to our rescue.

11. Defaulting on the Debt? No!

Defaulting on the debt is a 'cut off your nose to spite your face' move. Bringing the entire economy down, not to mention the global tsunami it would cause is nuts. The Trumpster will bring himself to ruin; no need to ruin ourselves in the process. We want something workable left on the ground once Don the Con has vacated or been removed from the White House.

Sit-ins, protests? I'm all for that. Debt default? Absolutely not.

[pnwmom]

12. NO. That would be terrible for the country and a horrible precedent to set.

We want to have another Democratic President someday.

[displacedtexan]

13. No. The first domino in a shutdown is 800K public workers out of jobs. The next...

...dominoes include gov't assistance checks and domestic violence/children's programs go unfunded. Then there's tourism, military contract obligations, and a ton of other truly horrible stuff. When republicans shut it down 5 years ago, they caused many, many aids patients to have to beg for donations in order to pay for their lifesaving meds.

So, no. Just no.

14. The republicans are going to default

With no help from us.

Unless Ryan shits on the Freedom Cocks and works with Democrats.

They have already started making list of all the regressive bills they will insist on to raise the debt ceiling.

[NewsCenter28]

15. With all due respect, I don't think any of you understand

the magnitude of the threat that Trump poses to the Republic and it's existence as a democratic state!

[denbot]

16. WTF!

We don't govern by destroying the government.

[L. Coyote]

17. Bullshit. Anarchism will foster a trump dictatorship.

If Trump fires Mueller, someone needs to handcuff Trump because Trump cannot legally fire Mueller.

If Trump tries to get rid of Mueller, everyone needs to get into the streets. There won't be any more Dems and Rs, just Patriots and Putinites.
