trump should literally pretend to have cancer, and watch his approval ratings soar as news outlets run editorials about how cancer is something both sides of the aisle can come together on or some poo poo

That's a dangerous gambit. He might hear about his cancer on Fox News and genuinely forget that he was lying about the cancer.

its because it got that name before the us actually stretched from sea to sea.

Oklahoma is in an odd spot demographically and climate/environment wise. It's a mixmash of southwest, the deep south, and midwest culture with a heft dollop of native american influence.

In the north half of the country you have new england, atlantic coast, midwest, mountain west, pacific coast.

In the south you have south, texas, southwest.

Actually it's pretty amazing that Trumps problems all got started with Franken's question to Sessions which wasn't even answered properly. That led to Sessions having to recuse himself and from then he couldn't control the investigation, which led to Comey being fired which led to Mueller being appointed.

The weird part is that Franken asked what Sessions would do if he found that someone was colliding with Russia. Sessions answered that he himself never met with the Russians. Which was the basis of the perjury and recusal.

seems like a strange answer to that question

"what would you do if someone was colluding with russia"

" I WASN'T COLLUDING"

"that uh wasn't the question"

Don't want to do a slippery slope argument, but if he is able to pardon himself and his family, how does this not lead to them committing crimes openly and just pardoning themselves constantly? Serious question.

Now I'm reading analyses saying that it might be possible to indict him for crimes without impeachment so I'm again confused about what impeachment even means, same as back in the Clinton days when I learned it didn't mean removal from office.

I agree with that. That's why I think that technically he can pardon himself. But realistically I think if he did even his supporters wouldn't even be OK with it. I mean theoretically that would mean he could stab someone on live TV and then be like I pardon myself.

He can only pardon himself from federal charges IIRC, which means that he can't just run around doing crimes because odds are he'd trip some state law while also commuting the federal one (colluding to help the Russians tamper with state voter rolls, for example)

Back when I thought he was going to lose the election I wondered what would happen if he just said "nah" too. I guess at least that has good historical precedent all around the world.
