I mightn’t make my ‘Trump gone’ June 30 prediction, but it coming along quicker now, by the looks.On 15/6, Meuller will be given 98% of all the evidence seized from Michael Cohen.
Pop some corn.
And a number of signals this week suggested Cohen may be interested in flipping on Trump — which is really the big, broader question in all of this. Within a day, the Journal reported Cohen is unhappy Trump isn't footing his legal bills, CNN reported someone close to Cohen as warning Trump that Cohen has a story to tell if he flips, and Cohen also conspicuously distanced himself from Trump's policy of separating families who immigrate illegally while resigning from his position as deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee — even though he didn't need to. All of this came after Cohen hired a new lawyer with ties to the same Southern District of New York office with which he would be arranging a deal.
That’s a scary thought too. For me the massive divisions and polarization in US society will go over the cliff if he gets the boot. I’d prefer to see him lose an election and populism/demagoguery be discredited. Can’t see it happening though.If he gets impeached and leaves office, we all get to welcome in Mike "The Electric Fence" Pence. Credit where it's due, it's an amazing insurance policy for his presidency.
Gotta remember that they didn't even impeach Nixon until they got Spiro Agnew replaced by Ford.
It appears that the most likely outcome of the Mueller investigation will be a report submitted to the attorney general (the department of justice in the US has a long-standing policy that you can't indict the president). So there's also no pathway where Trump can be pressured by the prospect of criminal charges into resigning either. This is a big reason you see his surrogates like Guiliani attacking the investigation on spurious legal grounds, in order to try and get an advantage in the court of public opinion - he knows that Congress is going to be really reluctant to impeach for anything less than serious personal criminality.Yeah, don’t want him impeached, I think it would do severe damage to US society and politics if he were.
Any system of representative democracy is subject to this sort of regulatory capture by interest groups rather than reflecting the general will of the people. The US is especially bad at this courtesy of weak regulation of political spending, granting free speech rights to businesses, and a general ossification of the legislative process. Trump's kakistocracy has just made these weaknesses glaringly obvious, as the legislators are completely unresponsive to the zeitgeist.Where I think there is potential for real gain is that Trump isn't the problem, the status quo is the problem. Politics is dishonest and urepresentative of the people it governs - not just in the US but here, the UK, etc.
Don't worry, her time is already up. Laptop was the end of her.Surely you mean Crooked Hillary?
Well, I said I'd jump in here at some point. I've obviously missed a lot in this thread, but I don't understand the Trump hate.
What gets everyone so mad about him? MSM feeds so much negative and nobody goes out to see the good. He's achieved so much more than most presidents, he's only pointing the country in a good direction and the 'swamp' really is being drained.
Even just the recent stuff, families staying together, Detroit, even Volvo is manufacturing in the US now. Trade deals he's making are fantastic, looking after America first. More importantly the amount of sex trafficking arrests that have happened under him are outstanding. Remember he made such a big deal about this missing children? Go look up how many kids have been saved. All the shit he gets for the strikes he's made, yet Barry didn't get anything. First time in recorded US history, dept of Labor announces more job openings than job seekers. Fucking NK?! Muhhh, it's been done before and nothing changed! Please. 200 bodies returned to US and not a news story in sight. Rigged media? Nahhh.
I just don't understand why everyone is so fearful of the big bad Trump causing a war. Stop reading the mainstream news, they've been caught out so many times as fake and everyone just keeps following. Telling you all now, he won't be impeached, he's doing too well.
I'm expecting to get ripped a new one here, but that's just my quick opinion on him. Not here for an argument, healthy discussion sure.
