I'd love for a months-long disaster of a Presidency to do the job of ending his career and making his failure complete.

Really though the only way Trump and Pence go is if the Democrats ride a massive 2018 wave to enough or nearly-enough votes in the Senate to remove both. In that case I could see Team Rocket removing Trump themselves in the lame duck session and trying to hang on to President Pence.

Oh man, president Orrin Hatch, that's even worse. No one wins. it just keeps getting worse and worse the farther down.

So was this what his latest tick tick tick was?

or does he just randomly post tick tick tick and then gets to pretend he's an insider every time someone in the trump org fucks up?

he's not doing the tick tick anymore, just the boom when a big story drops

also he's a pretty smart and well respected dude and your condescension is misplaced

Reminder during 2012 he broke into a soup kitchen to kill poors have a photo op of pretending to wash dishes. Ruined the dishes because they didn't dilute the soap concentrate and almost got the place shut down when regressives threaten the place since they didn't want to be political tools.

Nope, the WH are giant wimps and are having an off-camera briefing with Sarah Huckabee-Sanders.

And it won't even be live. We won't hear any audio til after the briefing is over.

Hannity: "Many people - most people - everyone in the entire universe, actually - thinks that a DNC operative had this meeting set up, and that you did nothing wrong and are an innocent angel, as is your father and everyone on the campaign. Would you like to respond to that by saying 'yes, Sean, that's how it is' and then conclude the interview?"

DJTjr: "We committed those crimes, knowing they were crimes. Here is a list of the crimes we committed and where and when we committed them and how much we were paid for them. Oh yes, we were paid. We paid them, too. Look, I'm just trying to get ahead of this story. I also killed and ate a small child on the way to this interview"

They'd just elect a new Speaker - probably McCarthy, since nothing matters anymore - and probably appoint a new VP to serve while Ryan finishes out the term if Trump and Pence got impeached during a GOP House majority, which won't happen. Orrin Hatch ain't gonna be no President.

Obviously the optics of all this look terrible, but can someone explain to me how this is going to the crushing blow that finally destroys the administration of DJT? Because frankly I am little worried that all this excitement is for nothing. DJT has weathered terrible optics before, and he certainly can do so again.

I mean, I'm no lawyer, but as far as I can see, this meeting did not break any laws. Anyone who understands the relevant laws that could have been broken would definitely do us all a favor by explaining the implications of this meeting. The RWM has been screaming for years that Hillary is criminal. That doesn't make it so. Likewise, this meeting without any context doesn't seem to make a criminal out of DJT Jr.

Not really seeing how. Also the procedure for removing the Speaker of the House is a whole other thing that probably won't happen. Unless he resigns, if Trump and Pence get removed while he's Speaker, he's the President. Hell that's probably what would get him to schedule a vote on Articles of Impeachment in the first place.

This isn't just optics. The Russians hacked the DNC and got damaging information; this was illegal. Meeting with members of a hostile foreign government to discuss a quid pro quo exchange of damaging information for the easing of sanctions is 100% absolutely definitely illegal, even if the information they had hadn't been gained illegally, which it was.
