What am I missing here? Everyone keeps saying the republicans are keeping

[shraby]

trump in office because of the tax cut legislation.

I call bullpucky! Pence and on down the line, depending on how deep the plot goes, would sign that legislation just as fast as trump.

I think they hare hanging on to him to keep the lid on the conspiracy because too many are directly involved and need to cover their ass.

1. McConnell, Ryan, Nunez, and Sessions were definitely in on it

[Corvo Bianco]

9. They shore were.

Nunes is just the worst until I remember sessions then Ryan then McConnell

[C Moon]

10. Ryan switched to Trump so quickly, our heads were spinning.

[AJT]

2. 45 has kept the medias focus off of tax reform so it

will pass without the attention it should have gotten. If Pence were president that would not be the case.

[Cracklin Charlie]

3. The lid is off, shraby.

They have to condemn Assface now.

To admit they knew of his obstruction, and did nothing, is itself a crime.

I do not see how any member of Congress can offer support to the “President” without committing a crime.

Looks kinda like a slam dunk.

4. Robert Mueller is Obi wan...only analogy that gives me a new hope when I think about it.

[Tracyjo]

5. We must take back the house

We have to at least start to make this right. Mueller is taking too long.

[SergeStorms]

16. I'd rather Mueller take his time.....

and get it right......air tight! Beside that, I want him to get every crooked, Russia loving Republican on charges as well.

Trump thinks the entire investigation will wrap up by year's end and completely exonerate him.



At the very least he'll be brought up on Obstruction of Justice charges. Trump is done, over. That's why there pushing so hard on this "tax plan" - that's really a "Holiday" wish list of every GOP fantasy imaginable - because after Trump is removed from office, Republicans are going to be the minority in Congress for a L-O-N-G time.

7. I read about the 25th amendment

Apparently there's a lot of procedural stuff that has to happen. Multiple legislative sessions. VP/Cabinet starts it but congress and senate have to hold hearings and votes. If they started it now, my impression is they would sidetrack everything else for a few weeks - it would probably delay the bill into January (or February w/ the holidays).

14. At least, plus the political climate could change. Time is

Not on their side with this tax bill. However, meantime he is appointing RW judges who will be around for decades.

[Skittles]

8. they are worried about losing 30% of their fucked up base

fucking cowards

[notdarkyet]

12. No they are worried about losing 100% of their donors. Owned government by

And for the oligarchs.

[Alice11111]

15. Those 30pc are Fox News brainwashed...lobotomies.

[brush]

11. Right, and they know an impeachment means they lose the power they have.

[Alice11111]

13. It's both. Get it done before an interruption and CYAs.

Pence will be a puppet and less of a danger and embarrassment for them. However, he is still a LIAR and not the Perfect Prince that he and the Repubs pretend he is.

It is all so depressing. Most Americans have no idea. It makes me realize how many of the Germans were asleep at the wheel while Hitler was becoming a brutal dictator. In our case, I think Trump mainly wants to be a very rich dictator, on the order of Putin. If a little clandestine brutality is involved behind the scenes, WTF, Guantanamo, "worse than water boarding," and probably worse. What kind of person, besides a dictator, would say, "Fire the sons of bitches, " with regard to private teams and athletes. Fortunately, they united and told him to Fuck off the next week, by whole teams and even owners joining in some form of protest.
