but I do know that there are billionaires "on the other side" (or who are at least somewhat neutral) who are far more wealthy than the loon ones who are attempting to do this. And for those top of the Forbes list billionaires, a "stable" U.S. is much more advantageous to THEM than whatever the RW might be trying to create. And that's because the U.S. has vast natural resources that they would seek to preserve from foreign influence should the country lurch into an unstable state of existence. I.e., they may covertly intervene once things reach a certain point.

Democracy in Chains explains it pretty well Gabi Hayes Jul 2017 #30

She is leaving out the part where Mueller can use the courts to avoid being fired. phleshdef Jul 2017 #6

John Dean's article today highlighted this roscoeroscoe Jul 2017 #11

Indeedy. Duppers Jul 2017 #14

Cannot, but has not stopped them before. He fired Comey, Alice11111 Jul 2017 #29

& if DT makes his life worse, he has goods too Alice11111 Jul 2017 #61

Mutually assured destruction, with a slight edge going to Sessions. Solly Mack Jul 2017 #62

I agree. He could try to fire all of them, fight, and then say, Alice11111 Jul 2017 #63

There's the rub. His supporters will believe it, further cementing the cloud he is creating - Solly Mack Jul 2017 #66

If he is smart, he will get fired Alice11111 Jul 2017 #42

He's gotta do whatever he's told to avoid prosecution Gabi Hayes Jul 2017 #48
