The Last Days of the Pompous POTUS

[Snouter]

For a while a thought the Crooked Hillary folks were just kind of retarded or having fun just trying to be trolls. But this is real. Anti-Donaldism is a mental illness.

It is time for this thread!! The end is near! This will be the thread where we track his inevitable fall from grace-if in fact he ever has any grace. The Trump presidency is circling the drain . While I am by no means thrilled at the prospect of a President Pence, he, at least will not be a daily embarrassment to our country who alienates allies and is a patsy for enemies .

Then again, Pence might be dirty also. So if he goes down, then what? Oh shit Paul Ryan! He is a piece of shit too, but at least, like Pence, and unlike Trump, he is not diarrhea .

This is a great article that I came upon today, and will not post selected excerpts:

The Death Rattle Of The Trump Presidency Has Begun | HuffPost

It’s now over but the shouting. It began the moment charges moved from unnamed sources in the New York Times and the Washington Post to the desk of Robert Mueller III, the former Director of the FBI, now the Special Counsel. It began the moment a counterintelligence investigation became a criminal matter. It accelerated further once a “person of interest” was identified by the FBI, with parlor betting believing that its Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of the president.

The end began when the adults took over the investigation and now the only thing that remains are dates and times of the final resignation.

It is sounding a lot like the Nixon shit storm

White House staff members will soon lawyer up and it’s only a matter of time before more beans are spilled because rats rarely climb onto a sinking ship. As my one friend in law enforcement once said, “nothing makes a white-collar suspect break into a sweat like the words ‘you have the right to remain silent.’”

Trump has a lot in common with Nixon in terms of personality. The difference is that Nixon was smarter, which does not bode well for the Rotund Orange Ogre

Just as Nixon’s behavior became his own worst enemy, Trump’s behavior of early hour tweeting has served to be his undoing.

The new special counsel, Robert Mueller III, is a different sort of breed. He is not like Ken Starr, who authorized the bodice-ripping Starr Report near 20 years ago in 1998, which cleared Bill Clinton of everything, but for lying about the act of consensual sex with an intern. It was Mueller, who alongside then-acting Attorney General James Comey, who stood down the Bush White House in 2004 over a reauthorizing warrantless wiretapping program. He was prepared to walk away from the FBI directorship because of principal and protest.

They say that the White House is a ship that leaks from the top, but this current White House is leaking like a sieve. Stories published in The New York Times or The Washington Post have been confirmed by large numbers of unnamed White House sources, far more than what took place in Watergate. However, what is most apparent is that after only several months of this administration, the nation is simply too exhausted and policymakers are wondering what shoe will drop next. This is not how superpowers are supposed to behave.

People forget that it was Nixon’s personality, his penchant for secrecy, his desire to strike out at enemies perceived as well as real, and his paranoia about others that led to his downfall. It was Nixon’s personality that drove Watergate and it was Nixon’s behavior which led to his downfall.

I didn't forget. I lived through it,

HuffPo?

awwww someone does not like the story so they attack the source. The Huff Post is and award winning publication. What exactly did it say that you can refute?

You do realize that the Huffington Post is an ultra-liberal bird-cage liner if they were actually a newspaper.

From your link:

"Officials say that the probe does not mean that Kushner is suspected of a crime or that they intend to charge him, but investigators believe Trump’s son-in-law has significant information relevant to their inquiry.
"

Who were those officials? It also says that it does not mean he is suspected of a crime or they intend to charge him.

HuffPo fake news in the highest traditions of CNN!

White House's Russia 'War Room' Built On Ticking Time Bomb

The West Wing is launching a new operation to fight back against the Russia scandals. Now, if only the president and his tweets could stop getting in the way.

In the past few days, senior aides to President Donald Trump have accelerated the development of a new “war room” to try to fight the Trump-Russia fallout and ongoing scandals.

But officials tell The Daily Beast the biggest obstacle to the crisis-management plan is often the president himself—and that his penchant for tweeting doesn’t help, either.

Law Enforcement Turns on the Law and Order President

Hey, ‘law-and-order’ conservatives: You do realize that it’s the protectors of our laws who are trying to send this president to an early retirement, right?

Every time a new story breaks that moves the Russia story down the field, there’s an inevitable eruption from the right and alt-right about the liberal media trying to bring the great man down. It never fails. And given that the stories are generally appearing in the New York Times and The Washington Post, it’s easy enough for conservative commentators to make the charge and for the rank-and-file to accept it.

Time for a reality check. The Times and the Post may be running these stories. But ask yourself: Where are they getting them? The official answer is that we don’t know, because they’re anonymous sources. But basically, we do know. These sources, often identified as “current and former U.S. officials” or “current U.S. officials” or maybe even just “officials,” are in law-enforcement and intelligence. They’re FBI, CIA, and so on.

In other words: It’s not the liberal media that’s out to destroy Trump, although make no mistake, the media generally hate the guy. (And why shouldn’t they? Remember “enemy of the people”?) It’s law-enforcement. It’s intelligence. That is, it’s the protectors of our laws who are trying to send this president to an early retirement.

More examples of denial and left wing fantasy. A vocal Trump supporter won a special congressional election yesterday as democrats continue their eight year losing streak that includes the presidency, both houses of congress, most governors and more than 3,000 state and local elections. Meanwhile lefties dream about "a Nixon shit storm" and reversing the results of the last election. Being pompous ain't an impeachable offense and it ain't gonna happen anyway. For your mental stability lefties you need to accept reality.

Bill's been out of office even longer and his name is still being invoked every day; esp. on FNC to make sure we don't forget he was impeached!
