Trump just fired Comey!

[lopri]

This is Republicans floating Garland to get him out of his court seat, not Liberals or Garland himself.

It shows once again how infantile these GOP figureheads are. They ignored and disparaged Garland for nearly a year. Some of them actively avoided him as if he were plague. Now that they are in power, they think they can humiliate him and his supporters some more by this floating his name for Comey's replacement. Where were they when Garland was due for a hearing and a vote?

It is akin to offering a rape victim a concubine marriage. Just what you would expect from the juvenile GOP crowd. Trump is not an aberration.

I'm not so sure about that it's all speculative but I think Pence is like the responsible father (like Mike Bradley). I can easily see a conversation with Brannon and Roger Stone getting interrupted because Pence entered the room. I can also easily imagine Pence being told "We need someone to plan out a Church tour for us next month, can you do that for us Mr. Pence?" And him gleefully skipping out of the room to plan out the Church Tour.

No Pence is just a better bullshit peddler. His ability to lie is a surgical scalpel compared to Trumps rusted and dulled butter knife.

I think one of the most realistic things is that there are some behind the curtain meetings between the FBI, the Senate investigative, board, ect and Trump and his lawyers. They are going to make the situation very clear to him. Stick around and we WILL impeach you and then move on to full prosecution. You lose the highest position in the world, your business, your lifestyle. Your kid's empire will be destroyed. Your name will be shit from here on out.

Or. Walk away. Go back to your business. And try not to fuck that up too. We are watching and know what you are up to.

Then he resigns stating his business and family has been too much of a distraction and that in the best interest of the American people and his family that he steps down.

I hope Trump picks option 1. He probably would.

There is this too but I don't know Pence is too much of a Boy Scout to knowingly commit treason.

I think Pence could feed himself enough bullshit to rationalize any behavior that would lead to Pence as President. It's God's Plan that Pence one day lead this great nation. That Pence has to swim through sewage in the fulfillment of God's Plan is a small price to pay.

I still disagree. Nothing boy scout about him. He's just not insane and knows who's hand feeds him. He's a radio station televangelist. He literally called himself "The Decaf version of Rush Limbaugh".
He was born catholic and actually leaned democratic in his early years. Then went the "born again Christian" route when he realized the money and manipulation involved in it.

Pence has compromised himself many times over as a willing accomplice of Trump's misdeeds.

I'm going to break ranks here and say Pence scares me more than Drumpf. The reason being, he's a crazy-eyed, stark staring mad Theonomist. Go look up what that is. Pence and his Bircher ilk are trying to turn this country into something that makes The Handmaiden's Tale look like a bedtime story.

 

[disappoint]

If I'm honest I thought that Comey should've been fired when he made the pre-election fuss with his Clinton letter that had an adverse effect on her campaign. And yes I wanted her to win.

Comey said butter emails.

He's a woman's health and LGBT rights monster. He's the reason I waffle on the idea of a Trump impeachment. Where Trump is a raging fire you *KNOW* it's hot and dangerous. Pence is like radiation. You don't really detect it until it's too late.

They don't need to humiliate him and his supporters when they're so willing to humiliate themselves

Where were they when Garland was due for a hearing and a vote?

Blocking him, hilariously.

Maybe you should seek psychiatric help for this fear of politicians that seems to be plaguing you.

Pence is definitely a theocratic monster but he at least appears mentally stable. I guess it all depends on what you think is better. With Pence we will get a bunch of incredibly shitty laws passed that will eventually have to be repealed but otherwise stable governance. With Trump you'll get a lot less legislation passed due to his incompetence but you also get a much higher chance of something really bad happening because he's nuts.

@Roflmouth: maybe you should drink bleach and then set out the good silverware when you get to Hell for when your Republican buddies join you.

Smart man, I wouldn't do anything behind closed doors at this point. Get that stuff out in the open and let everyone roil in it together.

It's NOT speculative. He's a lying sack!

"JOE SCARBOROUGH: We don’t know whether Sarah Huckabee Sanders was set up to go lie for the White House. We do know from your reporting that Mike Pence was in the room when Donald Trump decided that he wanted to fire Jim Comey…


GLENN THRUSH: Not only that…


SCARBOROUGH: ...and it’s much harder for Mike Pence to say I was given bad information. It appears he was not lied to. It appears that he lied.


THRUSH: Joe, it’s one… I can’t speak to motive on that. What we know is what he said in front of the cameras is untrue and what our reporting also bore out. We got this from half a dozen people who were around at the time. Pence was one of the most forceful proponents for removing James Comey. Here is another thing people forget about Mike Pence: after Chris Christie was sacked on the transition, Pence took over. And Pence, despite the fact that he claimed former national security adviser Flynn lied to him, Pence was read in on these early interactions that Flynn had. Pence has been in the room, Joe, as you know, from the very beginning."

uhhhhhh, you do realize that is the single biggest reason that Trump is our President now right?

maybe he wasn't that careful?
