I better hit Costco and stock up on popcorn and a bottle of bubbly, just in case.

Yep..... Comey's testimony will be interesting to watch.

I assure you that I get news from a huge variety of balanced sources, certainly not from the absurdly slanted Fox "News" or Rush (though I do listen to him on occasion, for laughs).

I'm curious, what is the hold Trump has over you? Any educated person, including conservatives like David Brooks, saw through his flam-flam way back during the campaign. His base is mostly uneducated white males, who believe he is somehow going to magically return tedious jobs that have long since been automated out of existence. He shuts down real science, substituting it hard-right fantasies. He encourages nonsensical, easily disproven "birther" and many other theories, invented by fake news outlets. He applauds mean-spirited healthcare bills to replace the enormously popular ACA. Skinheads, white supremacists, gun nuts, all manner of miscreants adore him. How can a thinking person still support this incompetent, blundering fool? He's no better than a televangelist, the worst kind of con artist.

Perhaps Trump will do us all a favor and resign now.

As will our very own Whell. His Dear Leader is self-destructing.

Mueller was the guy who put John Gotti away. Trump must be shittin' bricks right about now.

Uh oh. Looks like Trump can fire Rosenstein and Mueller. Not far enough. Trump will stop at nothing to protect his hide.

Nixon did it, in Oct 73. He hung on after that until Aug 74.

If Trump does indeed fire Rosenstein and Mueller, he would then have categorically crossed the abuse of power line. He is of course mad enough to do it.
