News from Finland: the biggest newspaper published an expose about the sigint activities of the Finnish Defense Forces, which are not very exciting in itself, but all of it is beyond top secret. And the documents that the expose is based on are only available on the highest levels of government. So we got a up-high whistleblower of who's motivation we know absolutely nothing!

Exciting times.

How does it play out if Donnie successfully tanks Mueller's investigation and the Republicans do nothing?

I don’t think it’ll get that far. Eventually, the Republicans will have to look at Trump’s egregious, authoritarian conduct and eventually come to the conclusion that they’ll have to put country before party and intervene to- hahahahahahaha they’ll never turn on Trump, especially now that he’s signing their tax bill and deep-throating corporate cock with extra slobber and complimentary ball fondling.

American Voter Bot tweets out individually polled people's political identity, various opinions, and how they voted in 2016. There are some pretty funny results.

I'll quote some so as not to Twitter all over the place.

quote:

I'm a 34 yr old, college-educated white man. I'm a conservative Republican who opposes deporting illegal immigrants, supports mandatory minimums, opposes raising the min. wage, and supports the ACA.

I voted Hillary Clinton in 2016.

quote:

" I'm a 23 yr old, college-educated Hispanic man. I'm a moderate Republican who opposes deporting illegal immigrants, supports the ACA, supports raising the min. wage, and supports the Clean Air Act.
I didn't vote in 2016."

quote:

I'm a 60 yr old, non-college-educated white woman. I'm a liberal Democrat who opposes deporting illegal immigrants, opposes mandatory minimums, supports raising the min. wage, and supports the ACA.

I voted Jill Stein in 2016.

Just political poo poo. If you elect a moron as President, then elect morons in Congress to back him up, you're hosed for two years and there's nothing you can do about it, besides fiddling on the margins.

The key is that to axe Mueller, Deputy AG Rosenstein would have to be fired. Then, Trump would have to plow through deputy attorney generals until they found one that would agree, Saturday Night Massacre-style. Tax cuts are about to go through, but they're polling terrible, Trump's already at 35% approval, with only 58% of Fox News viewers approving of him, and campaigns are about to start.

I think Republicans won't do anything, but there's a solid chance that they cut their losses and gently caress up Trump to keep their jobs in the 2018 election. The next major thing on the Republican docket is "entitlement reform" and I'd be absolutely shocked if that gets anywhere in the Senate.

I'm concerned that if Donny actually finds/installs someone to fire Mueller, everything official just falls away. The only investigations going on after that are the media, but the govt refuses to take action. Someone tell me how this isn't possible.

I don't think you're acknowledging how rapidly the country is solidifying against this current iteration of government. It's not a simple issue of democrats/liberals/what have you being angry about policy and potential reform; poo poo like net neutrality, taxes, and national security cut a rather large swath across the vast majority of the populace. And it's not like the GOP/Trump Administration have been playing their hand close. they're incredibly brazen about it all. This doesn't go unnoticed. You gotta be sincerely ignorant to not see which ways the winds are blowing.

Yep, sounds like the resistance will be over by New Years. Liberals will make a resolution to attempt to be bipartisan and take the high road by disarming themselves of guns to set an example for the rest of the country.

Voting takes a day. The level of give-a-poo poo required to do anything about Trump firing Mueller would take way longer.

Just like voting, people would plan a day (maybe a few) to protest and then just complain about it on social media.

With all that Trump has done I don’t see firing Mueller being the straw that finally gets thing going the way they should.

I think we are beyond the tipping point and need to stop putting our hopes into anything other than the 2020 election.

No, you’re right. There is no historical precedent of a president trying to torpedo a special counsel going badly for him.
