Ditching Donald Trump: Wave of Republican retirements points to big GOP trouble in 2018
"While a president’s party typically faces strong headwinds in the first midterm after winning the White House, it clearly spells bad news for Republicans when popular incumbents retire because Donald Trump has become toxic after only nine months in office."
"Already this year, 14 House Republicans have announced plans to bow out of the 2018 midterms, and a total of 17 have decided on a different path in the Trump era. Former Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz left without delay earlier this year, resigning his seat for a spot on Fox News."
"Republican strategists are particularly bracing for more retirements in tough swing districts — since such a flood could help Democrats retake the House in 2018 — but the brewing Republican civil war could just as easily prove disastrous for the GOP."

Trump promised to hire the best people. He keeps hiring the worst. NASA is next
"According to 2016 election exit polls, only 38% of voters considered Donald Trump qualified to be president, 17% of those who thought him unqualified voted for Trump anyway perhaps because he promised that as a wealthy businessman, he would be able to hire the best people to advise him."
"Who worse to lead the EPA than a man whose primary qualification is having sued the agency 14 times on behalf of polluting industries?"
"Who worse to lead the Department of Energy than a man who wanted to eliminate the department (until he forgot - oops)?"
Really?
The how does he explain all these firings?

WSJ: Some Trump Lawyers Wanted Kushner Out
"Some of President Donald Trump’s lawyers earlier this summer concluded that Jared Kushner should step down as senior White House adviser because of possible legal complications related to a probe of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election and aired concerns about him to the president, people familiar with the matter said."
"Among their concerns was that Mr. Kushner was the adviser closest to the president who had the most dealings with Russian officials and businesspeople during the campaign and transition, some of which are currently being examined by federal investigators and congressional oversight panels."
"After some members of the legal team aired their concerns to Mr. Trump in June, including in at least one meeting in the White House, press aides to the legal team began to prepare for the possibility that Mr. Kushner would step down, drafting a statement explaining his departure"
http://nation.foxnews.com/2017/09/12/wsj-some-trump-lawyers-wanted-kushner-out?section=10368
Kushner had four undisclosed meetings.
Legal advisors saw the writing on the wall.
Trumptanic.

‘He treated them like crap’: Former employee warns Trump not to expect loyalty from Spicer and Priebus
"Barbara Res worked as a construction executive for the Trump Organization and worked directly under Trump."
“Why should they be loyal to him?” she wondered: “He treated them like crap.”
“The lesson to be always learned is loyalty is one thing, but are you prepared to go to jail for it?”

Interesting how the followers of the occupier of the White House continually and myopically dwell on impeachment.
Consistently. As if it is the only factor for his removal.
Even though, this very thread is entitled: Do you think Trump will be impeached or forced to resign?
When in fact, chances are greater that he will be forced to resign in disgrace.
Given the focus of the investigations, it becomes clear.
Those who are informed rather than those emotionally involved,
would see that there are many disturbing charges that the occupier of the White House and his brethren are facing.
Fraud, money-laundering, tax evasion and racketeering being primary.
http://www.businessinsider.com/mueller-russia-investigation-trump-business-follow-money-2017-7
And there will be no option of pardons in state cases.
And given the fact, that the majority of Americans and even his diminishing minority of supporters,
are sick of his “performance” and continual lies:
A big beautiful Wall and Mexico will pay for it.
Immediately repeal and replace the ACA
Will not take vacations. (Repeated incessantly)
Ditching NATO.
He would approve water boarding immediately and "make it also much worse"
Prosecute Hillary Clinton
Among many more...
Along with his outrageous false claims:
3 million illegal voters
President Obama wire-tapped him and is not an American citizen.
(And he lied claiming GCHQ had supplied the wire-tapping info)
We are the highest taxed nation in the world
Global warming is a hoax created by China
And hundreds and hundreds and hundreds more of flat out lies:
https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/09/11/daniel-dales-donald-trump-fact-check-updates.html
His most recent one:
"Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard saved more than 15,000 lives last week with Harvey"
The Coast Guard rescued 11,022 people endangered by Harvey, spokesman Brandon Giles told the Star.
This blatant deflective attitude of: “It’s the “Democrats, the Liberals”, is simply hollow and baseless.
It is merely, parroted group-speak. "Bullet points.”
And has nothing to do with the reality and seriousness of the investigations.

The current AG says there's not a "whiff of interference of Russian interference.
Ahh, no, not quite.
Firstly, that would be Christopher A. Wray, the Russian associated lawyer, who was representing Chris Christie at the time, when the occupier of the White House appointed him to the F.B.I.
And allow me to expand your obvious limited knowledge on the subject:
Wray: No ‘whiff of interference’ with Trump-Russia probe
“I can say very confidently that I have not detected any whiff of interference with that investigation,” Wray said during an intelligence-focused conference in Washington."
“I have enormous respect for former Director Mueller, who I got to work with almost daily in the early 2000s, as a consummate professional,” Wray added."
“Now, I’ve had the opportunity to see a lot more fully, highly classified information….I have no reason to doubt the conclusions that the hardworking people who put that together came to,” the FBI director said, referring to an intelligence community assessment produced in both classified and unclassified versions in January."
Further glaring evidence, that you have no idea what you are talking about.
P.S. And you would know all of this, if you had been following this thread.
Rather than diving in willy nilly with your erroneous claims...

They are stuck in an endless 'time loop' without any hope of a break, unless Trump is impeached,
and they are therefore desperately clutching at any and all straws that they think will justify impeachment.
Yup. It's all one big conspiracy amongst these folks:
Investigating the White House and it's associates are:
The F.B.I.
The House and Senate Intelligence Committees
The Senate Judiciary and House Oversight and Government Reform Committees
The Department of Justice with Special Counsel Mueller
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman along with the I.R.S. financial crimes unit.
In the case of Michael Flynn, the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, and the Treasury Department, which also has a financial-crimes division are investigating him.
Grand Juries in Virginia and D.C. have been convened.
Federal prosecutors in eastern Virginia have already issued subpoenas to Flynn associates.
Another FBI target is Carter Page, one-time Trump campaign adviser on foreign-policy issues.
And the fact that the occupier of the White House' son admitted that he, along with Senior Advisor Jared Kushner and said occupier's campaign manager, Paul Manafort, held a clandestine meeting with agents from a foreign adversary, Russia, has raised a lot of concerns.
Yup. Just one big conspiracy.
Denial exemplified.

Thanks, I think I'll go with the opinion of the best-known Harvard Law professor over what some desperate losers, still grieving over Hillary losing, think.
"The president can fire the AG any time he wants- Russia thing or not."
True. And he said why.
Over a "made up story" by the Democrats.
So, if it is just "a made-up story", what's the worry? Why fire anyone?

Donald Trump Is Irrelevant to Corporate America
"That is the unequivocal message coming from some C.E.O.s, and the Wall Street bankers who work most closely with them."
"The new strategy by corporate executives to get the policies they once hoped Trump would deliver to them—tax reform, the repatriation of corporate profits, regulatory relief, and a comprehensive infrastructure plan—is to forget about Trump altogether and to work directly with congressional leaders to craft bipartisan legislation that Trump will have no choice but to sign."
"These C.E.O.s and bankers say they are focussing their attention almost exclusively on working with Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, and Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House, who both have had their differences with Trump of late."
