Some heavy bipartisan agreements to limit the Executive Branch's power are underway.
The Grand Jury info today is more icing on what appears to be a fairly well cooked cake.
Repubs not involved with Putin need to wake up and turn on him now.

(2,749 posts)The traditional Republican conservative Senate may realize that they may be way better off with a President Pence, but the complete nut jobs and tea partiers in the House really like trump, or at least, they are too afraid to vote against him.
Until it is demonstrated that both Chambers have had enough of this maniac, you can call me skeptical.

(7,524 posts)The point is he can't shut down the investigation now by getting rid of Mueller. Dump may not be impeached by the House or even prosecuted federally but the facts will eventually come out now. And he can still be prosecuted at a state level. If all this does happen and he wins reelection then it is time to give up on our democracy.

(17,984 posts)I think the treasonous GOPers are busy manipulating their innocent fellow congress people with bribes, coercion, and cases of Scotch. That, and they are playing nicey nice to cover up for their crimes. Slimy bastards. Now is the time they should be outed.

(7,006 posts)When You Don't (Trump/Executive Branch) is always a BAD thing to do -- but in this case GREAT for America!!

I believe the Republicans have finally acknowledged the obvious: this "pResidency" is beyond salvaging, and the damage to their party is at the point of no return.
Trump's public humiliation of Sessions - his staunchest supporter - and his characterization of GOP elected members as lazy, ineffective do-nothings has nailed his coffin. Whatever "loyalty" the Repubs felt they owed the "pResident" because he had an (R) behind his name has now been obliterated. They have no reason to feel any loyalty to someone who has now proven he has no loyalty to them.

(8,036 posts)taking full credit for the roaring stock market, and blaming congress for limiting his ability to do his job. He will resign before the Wall Street bubble bursts. He will do this because he's a cornered animal.

(28,136 posts)He'd lose his pardoning power if he did that.
Wishful thinking. (Sigh)
