Just spoke to a GOP source close to McConnell, on the politics of impeachment: "This is shaping up to be a very dark moment for the Trump White House."

(70,516 posts)Next thing you'll tell me that Rudd Weatherwax had more than one Lassie.
A running Lassie
A jumping Lassie
A swimming Lassie
A close up "family time" Lassie
I remember being a very young lad and seeing Rudd being interviewed and saying that he had
@ least 10 or 12 Lassies. I was crushed.

(8,751 posts)I can see GOP giving him an exit with all his spawn forgiven, run Pence with Nikki Haley. Evilgelicals would wet their pants, and then Pence, pardon trump for everything. He walks free and continues to stir up shit with trump teevee. I mean Fox Noose. If Pence is taken out for being up to his albino eyebrows in the shit, Romney with Haley. Romney full GOP backing if he Pardons trump/pence.

(8,751 posts)People keep saying trump may release Pence and pick up Haley. But, trump is becoming to Heavy a load so they may see Pence and Haley as a better ticket. That's why I don't understand Pence keeping his head up trump ass so deep, and lying in his Gods face like he believes His God can't see it. He could save his own ass.
