So there's basically no chance of an upswing with this administration, right? It's only going to continue to get more dysfunctional, alienated, and insular. If we're looking at 3.5 more years of decline, just how bad can we realistically expect it to get? At this point I wouldn't be that surprised if, maybe a year from now, Trump just said gently caress It and went golfing and never came back.

At this stage it is highly unlikely the administration survives until November, let alone another 3.5 years.

Prediction: Muller goes through everyone in the White House and at the end calls Donald J Trump to the stand. With no one to help him, he talks his way into YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH and resigns the next day. President Pence pardons him for all crimes and Trump lives his life without going to Jail and no one else is held accountable.

The movie made of it has a all star cast and wins Best Picture.

Somehow I doubt that the new president pardoning someone for (potentially) treason, money laundering, lying under oath, human trafficking and kiddy diddling would go over well with his Christian evangelical base. If Trump gets impeached it's over for the republican party for at least four years.

No offense but have you seen the guy that's supposed to be President. He maybe tried the whole governing pretense for a few months. He's been full on flipping his poo poo and dropped any and all pretense ever since the healthcare thing as he realizes he can't just flip his poo poo and suddenly they come back and try to vote on their goddamn terrible repeal bill again. He can bitch at McConnell all he wants, it's just not gonna happen and he seems to think that's how things get done in government because that's how his lovely mom and pop company worked.

I mean yeah that's basically what I'm saying. But the healthcare vote wasn't even 3 weeks ago. It's only been since then that he's really turned on Republicans, lost his councils, fired multiple top WH staff, and supported a Nazi rally. He was poo poo before that, but it's gotten especially bad in the last month.

There was a lot of poo poo we missed:
-neo-nazi protest overseas
-neo-nazi protest in Durham with full militia men that were stopped by a spontenous counter-protest
-Banon is already chairing meetings at Briebart and has said he's going to war
-more statutes taken down
-more statues defaced
-conservative pushback is being successfully shutdown in the media so it looks like even more statues will come down (halleuha!)

Maybe it was a lot at once. Should have probably thrown out the jokes ones I threw in for levity.

Huh? The Christian evangelical base approves of everything he's said and done. The Christian evangelical base approves of treason, money laundering, lying under oath, human trafficking and kiddy diddling if it's done by the republican party and it's office holders. They also approve of adultery, sexual assault, being a Nazi sympathiser and membership of the KKK.

That one pastor who quit only did that TODAY. After everything that's known about Trump. They will never abandon him (for a Democrat).

If we're going to talk about accounting, I'm going to say that, while they tell you to keep your messages to executives to a maximum of 1 paragraph because they won't read a sentence more, they very much prepare you to do the opposite of what you suggested since it's your job to see 1000 things at once and sort it all out.
