"SNIP.......


Eugene Robinson: “We need to prepare for the eventuality that the Mueller probe catches President Trump, family members and associates red-handed — and Republicans in Congress refuse to do anything about it.”

“This is beginning to look like a possible or even probable outcome. With a cravenness matched only by its arrogance, the GOP is Trump’s party now. It no longer has any claim to be Lincoln’s.”

1. They don't.

[tazkcmo]

13. Right?

I was going to say I was going to say, "If?".

[muntrv]

2. Maybe bring state charges, which the POTUS cannot pardon?

[FarPoint]

3. They don't CARE!

They want the POWER...ALL OF IT...

[Autumn]

4. There is nothing to prepare for, they don't care. He could appoint Putin as SOS, VP or whatever

and Republicans in Congress and Trumps supporters won't care.

[CatMor]

5. I think we already know they don't care....

what he does or did in the past. They don't even care if he lies, it just doesn't matter to them.

[Thomas Hurt]

6. The GOP has no interest in chalking up another resignation/impeachment ala Nixon...

that would mean

GOP 2
Dems 0 (1 near miss if you are being generous)

but then that is what happens when conservatives in this country elect criminals.

7. They dont, clearly

[NanceGreggs]

8. The GOP as a party might not care

… but a lot of their voters will.

Trump is at 32% approval – that means that a lot of Republicans are getting fed-up, too.

The thing is that a lot of Republicans are glued to FOX-News, and don’t really know any of the details about the investigation – yet. When it becomes impossible to not hear what’s going on, a lot of them will wake up to reality.

There are a lot of RWers out there who will draw the line at their beloved “pResident” having engaged in all kinds of to-doing with those godless Russkies.

As someone on CNN said recently, when told by a GOPer that no one is really paying attention to the Mueller investigation: “There was a time when no one was paying attention to Watergate – and then came the time that everyone was paying attention to Watergate.”

The GOP won’t be able to spin Mueller’s findings. They don’t care about their country, but they care a lot about their “brand” being tarnished.

9. Nope, he's their perfect stooge

While he preens and pukes out hate, they continue their agenda of death.

10. They don't. I hear this from my cousin and his buddies daily.

They honestly don't give a shit.

[ProudLib72]

11. Personally, I don't care that they don't care

They can just deal with the consequences. If they don't learn, then we can bash them down again and again and again.

12. Remember, the circus owners are extremist kleptocrats,

most circus management their agents. They have trouble controlling their voters, but mostly they know what buttons to push to keep them worked up -- against US. They don't care and will do whatever they need to to win.

Most of the voters in this little picture DO care, as far as it goes, which is typically enough that they will have to convince themselves it's all Democratic Party lies so they will be able to refuse to believe and do what they wanted anyway. That's the reason, of course, for the delay between nasty revelations and return of poll numbers to previous levels.

This will also have reinforced their belief that they are justified in doing whatever they have to to stop us. We're always a far worse alternative, and for most that is the bedrock of their intellectually and morally bankrupt ideology. They care enormously, overwhelmingly about not losing to us.

14. I wouldn't be surprised if many of them were complicit

I'm looking at you, Devin Nunes. And you, Dana Rohrbacher. And you, Mitch McConnell. And you, Paul Ryan. Et al.

[DesertRat]

15. I think that's very possible

I can't see a GOP congress starting impeachment proceedings against him. I also don't think he'll voluntarily leave office under any circumstances.

[workinclasszero]

16. I can already tell you they don't give a damn

if Trump gives Putin a BJ every night before he goes to bed!

Their filthy anti-American fascist ideology 'trumps' ALL!!!

They will NEVER vote to impeach Trump EVER for any reason!

The only thing those pigs care about is killing every part of the social safety net that's left in this country and delivering the proceeds to the Koch's, the Mercer's and MFing Wall Street!

They will gladly sell this country down the river to the Russians or any other country in pursuit of those goals.

If anyone thinks they won't they must have been in a coma the last couple of years!
