All this time I thought "deeply troubled" was peak Republican outrage over the nonsense going on in the Trump administration but apparently "a big no no" tops it.

OldTennisCourt posted:Honestly this is like the 40th time we've had a "OH MAN THIS IS IT GUYS OH FUUUUUUUUCK' moment over this poo poo and I'll believe it'll have an impact when it happens at this point. Think about all of this like the damage meters in that game. Sure, none of the barrage of attacks have knocked him out yet, and none of them could have alone, but Trump's damage meter is at 200% and still rising. Each point on the meter makes the next hit more potentially catastrophic than the last. Each of these individual attacks is needed to soften him up before he can be launched out of the arena. And over there in the corner, I suspect Mueller is reaching for a Donkey Kong hammer... Seriously, Rush Limbaugh is at a loss for words to defend Trump's administration, and justifying unethical poo poo is literally all this man does... And this is only month 6. This poo poo is absolutely mattering, we just have no precedent for understanding any of it just yet, because this level of dumb is borderline supernatural.

Charliegrs posted:I can just see the Fox News narrative now: That's sort of why I think it's a possibility. GWB approval rating after 9/11 was something around 85-90% even though his election was hotly disputed and he was very much disliked. Before that, he was around 50% I believe. It took 5 or 6 years and Bush's re-election for the population to come around. Look, I hope I'm wrong, and I probably am, but it's weird finding myself going from "that's insane. Calm down" to "that's entirely possible and I can see it" just a bit over a decade later. Given the sheer audacity of this administration thus far, I honestly can't rule anything out. They lie with impunity and blatantly contradict themselves every other loving day with a straight face and blame everything they demonstrably and provably say and do on "fake news" and "the liberal media". Look at this idiot's cabinet. Look at this health care bill. Do they seem like people who draw a line somewhere as being a bridge too far?

Charliegrs posted:True story I met Meghan McCain once. I had to fix her tv. So I go to her apartment in Phoenix and her mom is there too and she didn't even look at me. So the TV was in the bedroom and Meghan was kind of sick so we got to talking and it was funny because we were talking about stuff like Pee wees playhouse. She seemed nice. In all my interactions with her, Meghan seemed to be a nice girl who is conscripted from birth into the Republican party. I remember a lot of times in the 2008 campaign when it was in Michigan, where she was treated poorly due to her figure.

Remember when the Access Hollywood tape came out and there were press reports that the RNC was going to cut Trump loose, every major elected official said that they wouldn't vote for Trump, and most of them rescinded their endorsements? Remember two weeks later when the RNC spent $55 million for Trump, every Republican voted for him, and every Republican that rescinded their endorsement (except for Ben Sasse) re-endorsed him again?

We don't know because it's never happened before. BUT the most likely scenario is that we go down the line of succession until we find someone that isn't neck deep in collusion or at least hasn't been indicted yet. Worst case, POTUS Ryan.

No Butt Stuff posted:The only way Pence doesn't get the Presidency if Trump is removed from office is if he is implicated and removed at the same time. And if the Dems hold the House Pence will not be removed even if he's caught dead to rights because the GOP will refuse to hand the WH to a Dem speaker.

There is no mechanism for declaring a Presidency "invalid." You impeach the President, in this case maybe impeach the Vice, and that's basically it. Also the guy who said Trump could fire Pence is wrong and dumb.

AhhYes posted:I just can't shake the feeling that this is all too perfect. Like, there's one of two possibilities I see: Maddow reported last week that she was being baited with fake information. Luckily, she vetted it this time but you're right. I hadn't though of that as a "strategy" for something most of us see as so blatantly stupid. If I were a journalist I'd be really careful moving forward about what I report and cite because right now it'd be really easy to bait someone and then discredit it. Dan Rather's decades long record of integrity and accuracy was undone by one forged document. It would only take a one time gently caress up for THAT to become the story and make the whole collusion case about the free press, cementing the right wing's mantra that it's all "the media".
