Trump resigning (and Pence pardoning him) would be the ultimate disappointment after this massive clusterfuck, so of course that's what's going to happen.

Theres no way Trump resigns. It'd be the ultimate embarrassment/defeat/submission. His world is entirely about domination, his ego would never stand for it.

Nixon, the poster child for grievance and paranoia, had at least enough sense of duty to allow for resignation.

Trump has no sense of duty.

You really think Trump will resign? He can't even let go of having a smaller crowd than Obama and wants to have one more scoop of ice cream than everyone else. The petulant little poo poo will go down in flames, screaming about how horribly he's been mistreated the entire way.

Both of you are missing something important. Trump has likely committed crimes. Crimes that he would go to jail for a very long time for. So.....

Is exactly what will happen if Trump is ousted.

If they can get him on anything impeachable, the reds will cut him the same deal Nixon got. Quit, keep pension/benefits, and get pardoned. Or go to prison. For a very long time and lose everything.

Just wanna comment on that Sheriff David Clarke appointment....his job as head of the Milwaukee County Sheriff's has almost nothing to do with the policing of Milwaukee. I don't know if there is a term but Milwaukee is super 'jurisdiction'd'....meaning, aside from the Milwaukee Police Department the city has outlined a handful of municipalities within the urban area that all have their own police departments in conjunction with MPD. In short, he has nothing to do but oversee the jail, the interstates and transportation of inmates. He can't even do that.

I love how this Bannon philosophy of government often involves accusing people of being status seeking office holders who know nothing about 'getting things done.' And then people like Devos or this turd get appointments. I'd take liberals with half baked ideas over these people who apparently have nothing to offer but indignation.

I live in Milwaukee. You're correct that the sheriff basically runs the jail and patrols public parks, county buildings and the freeways through the county. MPD does basically everything else. The Sheriff's Department here is tiny; Clarke is a fraud who massively overstates his importance in local law enforcement here. I feel bad that the whole country gets to experience this dipshit now.

Delizin: Nov 9, 2005; It may not be interracial, but it is black and white.

Pence can't pardon state crimes. Earlier news articles were talking about ongoing investigations by state Attorneys General, particularly New York. If they try all the pardoning poo poo, I really wouldn't be surprised to see state charges being brought up at some point. With all the allegations of money laundering and a possible RICO investigation it seems like they'd be able to find state law violations in there.

Mueller's Bronze Star Citation:

Marine Corp Times posted:

When the North Vietnamese infantry company opened fire with automatic weapons and grenade launchers, 2nd Lt. Bob Mueller instantly took command.

"Let's go, squad leaders! Defensive perimeter! Bring up that M-60, on the double. Come on, guys--move it!"

It happened in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam, on Dec. 11, 1968.

On that morning 34 years ago, Robert Swan Mueller, III, was leading a U.S. Marine Corps infantry unit on a Vietnam War combat patrol.

Suddenly, Mueller's hard-charging platoon of gung-ho "grunts" found itself confronting more than 200 battle-hardened North Vietnamese regulars.

Within 15 minutes, Mueller's outfit had taken several casualties.

But the lieutenant didn't hesitate. After several months of grueling preparation at Quantico--headquarters for Marine Corps officer training--he was ready to assume command. During the next few hours, he would lead his courageous platoon of "jarheads" through a brutal firefight marked by heavy casualties on both sides.

He also would earn the Bronze Star for valor and the Purple Heart as commander of 2nd Plt., H Co., 2nd Bn., 4th Regt., 3rd Marine Div., during his tour in Vietnam between July 1968 and June 1969.

According to the .U.S. Marine Corps archives, here's what happened next on that long-ago morning in Quang Tri.

"Quickly establishing a defensive perimeter, 2nd Lt. Mueller fearlessly moved from one position to another, directing the accurate counterfire of his men and shouting words of encouragement to them.

"With complete disregard for his own safety, he then skillfully supervised the evacuation of casualties from the hazardous area and, on one occasion, personally led a fire team across the fire-swept terrain to recover a mortally wounded Marine who had fallen in a position forward of the friendly lines.

"2nd Lt. Mueller's courage, aggressive initiative and unwavering devotion to duty at great personal risk were instrumental in the defeat of the enemy force and were in keeping with the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and of the United States Naval Service."

Diarrhea Elemental: Apr 2, 2012; Am I correct in my assumption, you fish-faced enemy of the people?

So I didn't actually watch the Turkish embassy poo poo until now but I went from, "Are you loving serious?" to "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!" when I saw the part where it's 3 grown-rear end men kicking a woman on the ground with the bonus cut-away later to her sobbing/hyperventilating/whatever other completely reasonable reaction.

What the gently caress in the motherfucking fuckery poo poo gently caress. How there weren't Turks laid out like Haji Dangerfield right in front of their embassy is beyond me.

Diplomatic immunity does not give you a free pass to do whatever the gently caress you want. At the very least they can be arrested (however temporarily) and then kicked out of the country. They can't just beat the gently caress out of people while the cops go "idk man they have diplomatic immunity durrrrrrrr"

They never get convicted because of immunity (unless it gets waived) but that doesn't mean the police have to just sit there.

If Biden were president, he'd have White House baseball bats quietly handed out to the protesters, giving an identical one to Erdogan as a gift, while apologizing for only having one, as he'd lost the others.

Exclaims, "You found my bats!", when president fuckstick complains.

VVV Yeah, hence arming the protesters.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who built a following among conservatives with his provocative social media presence and strong support of Donald Trump, said Wednesday that he's taken a job as an assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security.

The tough-talking, cowboy hat-wearing firebrand said in an interview with WISN-AM talk radio host Vicki McKenna that he will work in the Office of Partnership and Engagement as a liaison to state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies. He will start in June.

Yeah this has been driving me loving nuts. Chief Espositio was the chief of the NYPD a few years backack, had about six hundred medals including a combat cross and he didn't look like someone barfed a pin collection on him.

Clarke runs a jail and he's got more poo poo on his uniform than chesty puller
