Fake news, my wet ass.

If it was just a sex scandal, he could claim the blackmail is no longer viable. But changing the rnc platform to appease putin about Ukraine shows intent to commit treason, to me.

I think the inauguration will be for Pence.

What if Trump quits, is arrested, whatever, before the inauguration. Since it was Trump running for president, not Pence, is there a protocol for this situation? I mean if Trump isn't inaugurated as President then Pence is not the Vice President. And if Pence hasn't taken the oath of office for VPOTUS then how can he be elevated to president-elect? I really hope they invalidate this election altogether.

Trump's yellow ass is grass and he's headed for a heap of trouble on treason charges.

Stone is a totally amoral canary who would sing on his own mother if something were in it for him.

Holy flipping testimony Batman! That would be some turncoat action for the ages. Those two guys would have to worry about Russian agents going after them.

Shakespeare would have a field day with all this.

posting about this recurring dream that I am still waking up to... give this a few more days to get weirder, I think the cheeto will not take office as "something" (I couldn't tell what this actually was from the dream but the feeling of something ominous was strong) and whatever "something" is will culminate around the last few days before Obama leaves office. So in a bout a week I think the whole charade will deteriorate into a massive outcry (perhaps from the judicial portion of our government) for him to NOT be sworn in.
