His political rise was unprecedented. His political fall will be epic.

[Horse with no Name]

We are about to experience a reset. The ride will be bumpy but I'm starting to believe that truth and light will win over darkness and evil.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

1. I certainly hope so.

And I certainly hope we're already in the beginning of that downfall now.

[Horse with no Name]

2. I think we are seeing a fall

I expect a free fall by the weekend.

[Cha]

3. As it should be..

6. It galls me

seeing this incompatant person in the WH, entertaining Russians. No journalists were allowed. Where was Ivanka, making her business contacts with the Russians? These two must not be too high on the Russian food chain, since they are soiling the WH not the Florida golden palace.

It gives me a sick feeling every time I see it. We MUST clean the White House of this scum.

4. If nothing unexpected happens

I worry that the president* needed a face to face with the Russians in the White house yesterday to plan something.

Expect at least some sort of hacking event. And let's hope it's only that.

[DFW]

5. What worries me most is...

The 34% that still think he's wonderful. WHY? He's done NOTHING for any of them.

[leftynyc]

7. It's very hard for people to admit

they've made a mistake. It will give them the bends to realize Hillary was a far better person than the degenerate they voted for.

[DFW]

10. Those aren't the ones I am worried about

The ones that scare me are the ones who wouldn't even entertain the notion that their choice was a mistake. These people are the same ones that watch Fox and Frauds and think they are getting the whole honest truth. They are still convinced that Trump was the far better candidate, and breathe sighs of relief and gratitude every day they wake up and Trump is still president. I'm talking about the ones who listen to Trump say, "It's gonna be great," and believe it already is.

[leftynyc]

24. You can't reach those people

Forget about them. They're irrelevant. All elections come down to independents and degenerate donnie is losing them every single day.

[Javaman]

16. I think of the 34%...

about 7 % are slowing changing their minds. but stubbornness keeps them from admitting to themselves they were wrong about tRump.

I think another 10% believe tRump is crazy but will never ever admit it as so out of spite.

That leaves 17%. those are the people that terrifying me. Those are the boiled down concentrated repuke base of dog whistle stupidity. the kind that, no matter what tRump does, they will always believe he is right and everyone else is completely wrong. Hell, even as the bombs were falling and the walls in the bunker were cracking, hitler still had supporters that truly believed they could still win the war all because das furor said so.

[not fooled]

29. Yep

They (~17%) exist and include the deranged "Xtians" who "thank God every day for President *ump"

[NewJeffCT]

35. I remember right after the inaugeration

I saw some polls that said 18 or 19% believed Trump that Trump has the biggest crowd ever. Those will be the toughest nut to crack.

[Javaman]

40. that's a nut that will never be cracked...

that the concentrated crazy.

the people that will follow tRump off a cliff.

[pangaia]

17. Just give him more time. Everybody is picking on him.

How is he supposed to do his job? He will make America great again, like he said.

[bigbrother05]

27. Nothing except keep a woman from replacing the black guy

For his base that was enough

[m-lekktor]

41. If you read "comments" his followers are doubling down and loving this!!

They love how Trump is making us "libtards" go nuts!! they aren't even phased at the abuse of power.

[Demtexan]

44. I have few followers foaming at the mouth.

I like to pick at a few in the comment sections.

I had one yesterday really going.

I told him his president belongs to Putin.

That Donnie the commie has sold out his country.

It was an epic take down.

It was fun.

They cannot take it.

The the person was screaming in all caps by the end.

It went on for about an hour.

[m-lekktor]

45. I don't have the patience for that. Sometimes I will make a comment

then not reply to the responses! lol but I rarely go after somebody based on a comment they make.

[Demtexan]

46. This guy was a real nasty type.

Attacking everybody.

Like I said they can give it but they cannot take it.

This guy comes to the comment section everyday.

Just mean, nasty, and rude.

Your typical republican.

They have own places to hang out at.

I just told him the truth.

[bucolic_frolic]

8. Reset is beyond grasp

until power fails to command

[tanyev]

11. Trumpty Dumpty wanted a wall

Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall
All of Vlad's money and all of Vlad's men
Couldn't put Dumpty together again

[eShirl]

23. nice!

[JNelson6563]

13. Meteoric.

[Dustlawyer]

14. Not a question of if, it is only a question of when

will the Republicans decide enough is enough!

They don't want to waste the time impeaching Trump since they know they will probably lose the Senate and a lot in the House. They want to push Health Care and Tax "Reform" before 2018 elections. Unfortunately for them they are not getting anything done while they have the opportunity.

[Whiskeytide]

21. But that's fortunate for us. ...

... I've been saying this for a while. Everyone here seems to want him impeached or driven out tomorrow. But that would allow Pence or Ryan or someone to take over, calm things down, and get republican shit done.

I want this to drag out until the mid terms or even beyond. They are as dysfunctional as possible with all this going on. but we need to remember that the only thing worse than a dysfunctional republican government is a functional one.

[Dustlawyer]

36. Yup!

[pangaia]

18. I am not as optimistic, yet.

Even if he does go, there are still all those other sickos--their agenda will be the same.. destroy everything they can and grab all the loot. Plus there still somehow will be Putin.

[mreilly]

19. Yes, we can't assume removing Trump solves the problem...

.... this is both good and bad news, but I believe the GOP doesn't care WHO leads the party so long as they ram their agenda through. That gives me hope they'll ditch Trump because more than anything I want that fucker GONE. Humiliated. Disgraced. Whining how it's unfair.

But it's not over then.

The GOP must realize by now that if they shitcan Trump they can then tell the American people: "OK, you got what you wanted. We got rid of him. Problem solved. It's over." Then they'll proceed with the EXACT same agenda only pushed by Pence. They'll expect to accomplish their goals because they tossed us that bone by getting rid of Trump. Any opposition to them will be met with: "Pence is a decent honorable man, he's no Trump. You need to let us lead now since we catered to your demands by getting rid of the problem."

The simultaneous danger is that those of us on the left will assume Trump's removal ends the matter. The protests, phone calls, town hall meetings, etc. stop because "We won." That's a suicidal mindset. We can't quit the pressure. We can't stop working for the 2018 elections.

[pangaia]

20. You are absolutely, 1000% right on target.

[llmart]

28. I want McConnell gone...

We're all focusing on Trump, but McConnell is evil and giddy with his own power.

[zentrum]

22. Please say more.

I could use a few details of hope this morning.

Do call the DOJ---which I just did. Their line is not busy and it should be.

25. Thank you Horse

Speaking of "the bigger they are, the harder they fall". I thought it would be interesting to check out the conservatives voices.

Donald Trump Was Wrong to Fire James Comey
by David French May 10, 2017

By firing the FBI director, President Trump made the decisive case for a truly independent investigation.
…snip
Amidst all the outrage and fury, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that we still don’t have a single credible report of collusion between Trump-campaign officials and Russian intelligence. At the same time, we still don’t know the full story of Russian efforts to disrupt our presidential election. The crisis we face isn’t “constitutional,” it’s a crisis of confidence in our public institutions. In an atmosphere of mistrust, conspiracy theories proliferate. By firing James Comey, Trump made the decisive case for a truly independent investigation.

May it commence with all deliberate speed.

Christopher Buckley, son of William, had this to say in 2015.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/christopher-buckley-donald-trump-new-book-the-relic-master/

….snip
"I think once again, Mr. Trump has proved that he's not really a serious person. Serious people don't say things like that," Buckley said responding to Trump's latest remark. "Mr. Trump is a demagogue, and demagogues tend to use up all the oxygen in the room."
Buckley borrowed from the words of his father, conservative commentator William F. Buckley, to condemn Trump.

"My late father told me once an old rule is -- never debate with an amateur, they'll kill you every time," Buckley said. "An amateur would just shout and say anything, and it makes rational argument impossible."

The state of the current election cycle has led Buckley to put aside political satire for something new -- religious fiction. His new book, "The Relic Master," tells a comic tale of 16th-century rascal mercenaries who cash in on what they claim are the bones and possessions of saints.

"We've reached a point in this election cycle where American politics are self-satirizing," Buckley said "I don't think they need me."

[smirkymonkey]

33. "An amateur would just shout and say anything, and it makes rational argument impossible."

This right here is the problem. There is no reasoning with people like Trump. Or with his followers.

[saidsimplesimon]

47. Sad and so true

[Nitram]

26. It all depends upon a few good GOP Representatives and Senators.

If there are enough of them left.

[Kablooie]

30. I don't think so. Republicans will defend him to the death of the Republic.

They hold all the power. If they decide to allow his criminality to stand it will stand.
The fact that this action endangers the future of the country is not an issue for them because if the democracy falls they see themselves as the dictators that will control the remains which is what they want anyway.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

31. That's how I see it. I see no way out.

he fired his bagman, Flynn.

And I'm not kidding.

39. I think so too. N/t

37. Mr Trump....Someone here to see you...

We still gotta stay woke and busy, though. I want the entire Dump admin and pukey minions out of there.

38. GOD, I HOPE SO! I NEED TO GET SOME SLEEP! n/t

43. Do not get to stressed out.

I got some herbal pills like zoloft.

Sleep just fine.
