So Rudy, who was partly brought on in order to go on TV, has been banned from appearing on TV now. I guess the real lawyers got through.

NY Times - Trump Is Said to Know of Stormy Daniels Payment Months Before He Denied It

And I am sure just like with all the other great reporting that's come out of this scandal that this will be denied by Trump and his defenders online but then turn out to be proven true... As has CONSISTENTLY been the pattern.

No doubt, no doubt.

Google search statistics would be the best way to find out where the general public is leaning in terms of with Trump or wanting an impeachment.

Google Trends would be a good place to start.

Trump Refuses to Talk to Mueller Unless It's "Fair"

Translation: Trump doesn't want to say anything to Mueller that will get him incriminated.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Warren has more energy then Paul Ryan. That woman's age is meaningless.

 

[Sithborg]

56 is a long, long way from the 2/3 needed for impeachment of the president, in political terms.

 

[Doug_Moore]

A sitting US President is above the law. He cannot be indicated and arrested. At face value, he can also pardon himself. The Constitution grants him that immunity and it will never change.

 

[DeadPresident]

That's the crux - a sitting President. IMO eventually the pressure will get so high he'll have to resign and then charges will be brought against him, and he's going to have to stay in Pence's good graces so Pence will pardon him of what he can.

After which the USA will have learned a valuable lesson about the kinds of people you absolutely can't afford to have reach the position of commander in chief.

the second a sitting president pardon's himself... then he's a complete and utter lame duck that's admitted to the world that he's a criminal. Trump's ego is too big for him to do that.

The indictment will come in when Mueller is ready... and the GOP will throw Trump to the wolves.

 

[Tempus Fugit]

A sitting president "might" be able to pardon himself, but actually it probably wouldn't hold up if it a challenge to it went to the Supreme Court.

Since a sitting president cannot be indicted (for a crime) there's basically no crime to be pardoned for so long as he's president, and as soon as a president resigns he loses the ability to pardon.

That doesn't take into account that Pence would "probably" pardon Trump a.la. Ford pardoning Nixon though.

 

[Sithborg]

And apparently Rudy has been pushing regime change in Iran.

**** these war mongers.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

It's worked out so well in recent history in the same region, right?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Some of them are just evil. Plan and simple.

 

[Ouch]

A war with Iran would be completely insane. They are not a broken down country like Iraq. Trump might be stupid, but he can't be that stupid.

 

[KevanG]

He might not be but his ego won't let him be considered 'less' than any other president. That means he wants a big and glorious war to show off how great he is.

Stormy appeared in the SNL cold open tonight -- playing herself.

She's a good sport... I love it!

Interesting. As bad as Trump is, people on this board believe things could be worse. I like it. I'm a glass half full kind of guy, myself.

You're delusional if you think it's actually getting to the point, even if they find the guy guilty. The impeachment stuff just isn't happening, and Baby Jebus'd come back down to earth and cure all our ills before this guy voluntarily resigns.

That doesn't mean he's not getting found guilty on at least some of this, he probably is. That's different to being removed being on the cards though, the Democrats aren't going to be able to pull it off. He'll either get voted out in 2020 by the public over his behavior with all of this ****, or he won't. Guilty or not guilty.

 

[Marvolo]

America... the country where felons can lose the right to vote, the right to serve on a jury, and the right own or possess firearms. But in America felons arent ineligible to be President. The Office that controls the country's entire nuclear arsenal.

Hear that, felons, you cant own a gun, but you can control our nukes and run the country and command the military.

'Murica

 

[Aximili86]

Assuming he's a felon. Again, might be the case, but that's not out in the open yet. You don't do yourself any favors setting yourself up with an outcome in mind here.

 

[Marvolo]

I'm speaking about America's nonsensical way of handling felons. Not Trump specifically.

 

[Aximili86]

Ehh, honestly it's probably that way everywhere though. Power's a funny thing.
