It's irrelevant if he looks worse. Less people are talking about Russia and more people are talking about him being a paranoid idiot. Being a paranoid idiot isn't impeachable.

Are you familiar at all with Bill Clinton's impeachment? It wasn't about getting a hummer until months and months of tangential investigations made it about that. The point of these investigations is to limit the ability of he administration to maneuver without being completely contradictory, and to in turn force the rest of the Republican party to chose between brazenly contradicting themselves in order to go against the desire of their constituents to preserve a toxic administration. It also serves the immediate purpose of forcing the administration to address these controversies instead of focusing on enacting their agenda.

Forcing out a President isn't something you can expect to accomplish in the first two months of their presidency. That it's only March and Trump is facing this kind of heat without having to actually address any major international crisis's is pretty loving huge and unprecedented. You eat a whale one bite at a time and the Dems are trying to get as many mouths going as they can.

READING COMPREHENSION IS HARD
Every hour of Trump's Presidency spent defending itself is an hour its not doing some other repugnant poo poo. The only question is, how long can Trump keep making mistakes? I'm betting until he strokes out.

A month ago, I was concerned that Trump does his whole "I'M MR. PEE SEEKS! LOOK AT ME!" routine on Twitter in order to distract the public's attention from Bannon carrying out his policy agenda in the shadows, but now I'm pretty convinced that he is in fact a giant loving child.

Not sure which one of these is worse, tbh.

Since there are no stories linked, going to cite Robert Costa's tweets (WaPo):

- WH counsel's office is looking into what they can learn about possible surveillance of Trump, per multiple officials
- But McGahn, the WH counsel, is treading lightly as he and aides navigate the legal thicket, the officials said
- McGahn has reportedly told staffers to be very careful moving fwd and let his office handle things, citing classified/legal issues at stake


Jennifer Jacobs, Bloomberg:

- Pool reporters are no longer at Mar-a-Lago and were told they can't return tonight. So no further access to president or chance to quiz him.
- Communications on Trump's wire tap allegations are on lock down while White House legal staff figure out what should be said, I'm told.

Jim Acosta, Fake News CNN:

- Trump went off on top WH staff before leaving for FL yesterday. Furious over Sessions story. "Nobody has seen him that upset," I'm told.
- Trump believes WH staff "fumbled" by not being prepared for Sessions recusal, which POTUS believes was hasty and overkill.

I've heard two narratives for that so far:

1. HOW DARE THE PRESIDENT LEGALLY WIRETAP A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?!? THE AUDACITY!!!

2. TRUMP IS ONLY FLIPPING OUT BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT ALL THE poo poo HE SAID WAS LISTENED IN ON AND HE'S EXPOSED

You can guess which side supports which narrative.

In thinking about it, if Obama had come out claiming that Bush had been bugging his phones, I would have believed a couple of things:
1) that it was true, because
2) that he had proof because he's not loving stupid enough to start claiming that without some serious hard evidence


Trump claims it and my immediate response is 'haha nope'

Well even Obama underestimated IS. But at least once he realized the gravity of the situation, he didn't blather on in public about how he could "crush them in a week" or whatever Cheeto Bandito did.

Impeachable? No. As it does not qualify as "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors".

But it can be cited in the process of declaring a President not mentally fit to hold the position. Which allows Pence and “majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide” to invoke the 25th Amendment.
