Is this the breaking point?

[senseandsensibility]

It will be interesting if the acceptance of a luxury jet is the point of no return for Republican leadership and they "convince" trump to back off, either through public pressure or an investigation. But it is starting to look like that might happen.

Ari Melber just led off his show with a list of several R Senators, including Ted Cruz, expressing disapproval. The chyron is Trump Faces GOP Revolt Over Planned $400M Gift From Qatar. And apparently, Murdoch's NY Post is even against it, writing that Trump Shouldn't Accept Luxury Jet.

Last night, Lawrence O'Donnell predicted that trump would back down.
And I am starting to agree. The R leadership may be stupid, but even they know that heading into the midterms with a symbol of corruption this easy to comprehend would be a gift to the Democrats!

1. Trump is salivating about what other countries will give him

yup

[markpkessinger]

2. Not holding my breath n/t

[lame54]

3. He'll get his plane and stay prez

4. people in the administration should have headed this off

as radioactive and positively glowing from the very beginning. And the fact that they didn't (or couldn't/wouldn't) - says a good deal.
(we all know that Trump has all the instincts and ethical depth of a sewer rat .. but ... )

5. He is surrounded by yes men and women

It'll be up to the R's in congress, and I think they're signaling that they might have a pulse.

6. Not the breaking point, but it gives some Cons more confidence to exercise oversight. Necessary, but not sufficient. .nt

10. There's a lot of them who are willing to go public with their

disapproval. I'm starting to get Matt Gaetz vibes, like this is just a bridge too far. As usual, though, it's about their own political survival. And there might be a couple who honestly care about security. We'll see.

7. Oh! But the President is responsible for conducting foreign policy!

What would foreign governments think? That Trump has no power in his own kingdom? That he can't tell the Congress he ignores to go shove it?

Horrors!!

8. Sounds good to me!

9. A billionaire told MAGA to f**k their own faces and they did it, there's no breaking point for them

11. It's way past the breaking point. This out of control criminal needs

to be impeached, removed and escorted out of the White House right now. Time for all the law breaking to stop.

12. Democrats get attacked for not doing enough

and we are supposed to think some comments of disapproval from Republicans means anything ?

Have they said anything about holding investigations and supporting legislation including things like impeachment ?

Just saying " I don't think he should take it" doesn't mean anything.

And unlike Democrats the Republicans actually hold power to do many things as they are the majority.

And if they are worried about midterms they will at most just wait for it to be over before publicly accepting it.

13. Okay

You're on record as a "no". By the way, I didn't put down the Dems in any way for what they are doing. It's up to R's, and to me, they are starting to show signs of a spine.

14. No, it's not a breaking point until it all breaks

You'll know it for damn sure.
