Once he's gone, I can't help feeling that if the US doesn't revisit its constitution to guard against such flagrant abuses and challenges to the very core of what the US stands for, that the US will leave itself in a very dangerous position. Fortunately Trump is too stupid/deranged to stop himself digging massive holes for himself, not least from his tweeting.
Of course, the alternative view is that the virtual anarchy that Trump is leading the US towards is actually the real goal of Bannon, and Trump is merely the conduit, abetted by a Republican Party so intent on passing their regressive policies that they can't see that they are being used as a destructive force.0 -
Trump currently on a Twitter splurge, having a bit of a meltdown. He's back to Hillary's emails again... Dunno if he's noticed, but she's not POTUS. The whole thing is a little surreal... I still have to remind myself that Trump is, at least nominally, the President. I'm not sure any more what the President's role is...
Latest tweets: "Crooked H destroyed phones w/ hammer, 'bleached' emails, & had husband meet w/AG days before she was cleared- & they talk about obstruction?"
"Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?"
"They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice"
"You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history - led by some very bad and conflicted people! #MAGA"

Putin offers Comey asylum during annual phone-in session. Ha! You have to laugh at that.

Borrowed time. The FBI investigation is a lot further forward than most realise and he's not far off being impeached...0 -

And then there's Paul Ryan.

What? A democratic structure to maintain authenticity, procedure and legitimacy? Who would have thought.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

The list is interesting, because, if the Russian ties go deep, they go down the list. Hatch seems to be out of that loop, Tillerson in. Mnuchin out. Can't see us getting down as far as Mattis.
The prospect of Paul Ryan is quite scary though. And I thought he was ok a while back.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

If half of the Trump administration goes, is there any premise that another election be called? I am unfamiliar with the process.
I thought that Trump would fail because he would fail on his promises given time but not the because of some other event.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

I'm unclear what anyone is being accused of doing (other than Trump and obstruction). What form would collusion actually take?
I always thought it more likely that the Russians just wanted to get involved to mess with the legitimacy of whoever won - on that basis, mission accomplished.0 -

Yep. He should have been saying "wasnae me" from the outset but he keeps putting his foot in it.
What a wonderful soap opera.
When whoever is given the Presidency and tries to pick up the bits for the remainder of the administration, we'll have another election. I just wonder how disenfranchised and disillusioned the already disenfranchised and disillusioned American electorate will be.
They'll be looking at some Hollywood Star to run.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

Jennifer Lopez 5-1

Jim Carey 50/50
Phil Mickelson 1000-1
My money is on Warren Beatty. It would have been on Charlton Heston given his links to the NRA but he copped it.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Haha, Trump is rapidly turning into a satire of himself. This morning's 5am tweet:
"After 7 months of investigations & committee hearings about my "collusion with the Russians," nobody has been able to show any proof. Sad!"
Yeah, good plan - keep mentioning "collusion with the Russians", just in case anyone had forgotten what's top of the agenda. This will be sure to keep it there.0 -

OK, I take it from that that nobody knows what anyone might be accused of doing. Having links with Russian companies isn't illegal, and 50% of the country is hoping that something shows up.
I enjoyed him implying that Bill Clinton talking to the AG and getting an investigation stopped was obstruction, not considering that it looks very much like he tried to do the same thing.0 -
You gotta hand it to Trump - he's being true to his word, and increasing job opportunities in the US. Well, at least there seem to be lots of lawyers being hired in Mueller's team - another 13. http://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/16/polit ... index.html0

Latest tweet saying again that the media hates it when he tweets! I bet they really hate the fact that it regularly gives them something easy and newsworthy to write about.
He calls them fake news, and in the same tweet claims he has 100M people following him.0 -
