How great would it be if Trump is enough of a child to rat out members of his administration if he were found guilty of collusion and impeached?

EDIT

Hell, maybe that's why members of his party defend him so much. An 'if I go down, you go down, too' mentality.

 

Holy crap that's my district

 

Seems like a safe district to run a leftist in...dude was uncontested in 2016.

Of course don't know if his opponent is actually a leftist, just could be VERY anti Trump lol

 

When's Trump giving his speech on Islam?

 

When you didn't study for the test:

 

It's an interesting makeup. The district starts near downtown Chicago, so really blue, then extends towards Midway airport, which is historically Democrat but conservative (big numbers of firefighters, police living there). Then you get some more diverse near suburbs that go blue, but by the time the district ends about 35 miles from downtown, it's much more purple, if not red once you get into that area of Will County. Which taken together, makes sense given that our current, uncontested Dem rep is a pro-lifer, voted against the ACA (but has opposed the AHCA), and supports the border wall.... I should read my Countable updates more often...

In short, definitely worth a shot.

 

"The journalist Ryszard Kapuściński describes this process as so powerful that it can set off a revolution. Describing a police officer shouting at a protester to disperse in revolutionary Tehran at the start of the Iranian Revolution, he writes:

“The policeman shouts, but the man doesn’t run. He just stands there, looking at the policeman. It’s a cautious look, still tinged with fear, but at the same time tough and insolent. So that’s the way it is! The man on the edge of the crowd is looking insolently at uniformed authority. He doesn’t budge. He glances around and sees the same look on other faces. Like his, their faces are watchful, still a bit fearful, but already firm and unrelenting. Nobody runs though the policeman has gone on shouting; at last he stops. There is a moment of silence.

We don’t know whether the policeman and the man on the edge of the crowd already realize what has happened. The man has stopped being afraid – and this is precisely the beginning of the revolution. Here it starts.”



imagination is in short supply these days

 

"Quick, open up Wikipedia: what is impeachment."

 

"What, you mean it's not eating bigly peaches?"

 

"Alexa, what is impeachment."

"Fuck you Steve."

 

It's truly 2017's version of the guys from "Office Space" trying to figure out what money laundering is by looking in the dictionary.

 

White House looking at ethics rule to weaken special investigation: sources

 

Zero doubt they talked to a black guy about it because they assumed he was a criminal.

 

"I have absolutely nothing to hide, but we need to shut this thing down ASAP"

 

"Alexa, what is impeachment?"

•repeats all of his tweets from the moment he started an account on twitter.•

"What does that even mean?"

 

So, does Mueller get fired first, or does a "oh shit!" pardon come first ... I feel like that's the moment the snowball starts really rolling.

 

I can only imagine the chaos right now as Trump is most likely being physically wrestled to get his phone out of his hands

 

"Robert Pattinson.....what the fuck?"

 

Buying popcorn

 

I'd assume the testimony will only be as good as the questioning.

 

" Trust me the plane to Saudi Arabia takes 3 weeks and tweeting will make it crash"

 

He's probably gonna cut the trip short.

Or never come back?
