dunroaming Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Well when Trump says this is the greatest witch hunt in US history he could be correct. If you take the meaning of the word the "greatest" to mean the most enjoyable then it has to be right up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the handful of Dems who voted for Sessions and Flynn and De Vos and other severely flawed candidates. You're even worse. You can't use the excuse of blind partisanship. Your only excuse is profound ass-licking ignorance. If it makes you feel any better, only one Democrat voted for Sessions, none for De Vos (2 republican voted against). National Security Advisor does not require Senate confirmation. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/02/08/us/politics/jeff-sessions-confirmation-vote.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/02/07/us/politics/betsy-devos-confirmation-vote.html https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Advisor_(United_States) I do agree that most of the cabinet picks were terrible and in several cases Democrats voted for them. As it was early days, I think they have learned their lesson and future confirmations (there are literally hundreds to go) will show more party discipline.

selftaopath Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 4 hours ago, Berkshire said: I actually thought about this and yes, I agree that a President Pence "could be" worse in terms of his extreme right-wing position on a great many issues. But consider the hardcore Trump supporters and what they're going to do if Trump is ousted. I doubt they would instantly warm up to Pence. Not sure how this would play out, but I don't think you can assume that the GOP will automatically become one big happy family with Pence as President. Pence might not be the "squeaky clean" religious guy he professes being, and might also be found guilty of a few things e.g. lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomerangutang Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 4 hours ago, Srikcir said: Mueller will conduct an investigation into “any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of President Donald Trump,” along with “any matters that arose or may arise directly from the investigation.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/doj-special-counsel-russia-trump_us_591cbfa2e4b03b485cae5465 So start with the possible links and collusion, then anywhere else deemed to be a criminal issue, ie., Executive Branch (ie., POTUS and Cabinet) obstruction of justice, money laundering, unregistered foreign agent, bribery, lying to federal investigators, etc. You're assuming Mueller will do his job well, and not take 6 years to reach a conclusion. A good investigator will leave no stone unturned, and delve into any possible law-breaking by Kushner, Ivanka, Pence, and Trump's eldest 2 sons. Not even even Priebus (obstruction of justice) or lawyer Cohen (lying about clandestine trips to Poland to meet with Russian officials during the campaign, etc) should be exempt from scrutiny. Same for Erik Prince, Head of Blackwater, who met with a Russian agent in the Seychelles during the campaign. He's Betsy DeVos' brother, and he was an official representative of Trump at that exclusive meeting. 4 hours ago, elgordo38 said: If the Donald screws this one up its the beginning of the end for him. The 'beginning of the end' for Trump was when he announced publicly, "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing, I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press." 2 hours ago, selftaopath said: What a cry baby, but this is typical bullyboy style.
