Theres no way Trump resigns. It'd be the ultimate embarrassment/defeat/submission. His world is entirely about domination, his ego would never stand for it.


Nixon, the poster child for grievance and paranoia, had at least enough sense of duty to allow for resignation.

Trump has no sense of duty.

You really think Trump will resign? He can't even let go of having a smaller crowd than Obama and wants to have one more scoop of ice cream than everyone else. The petulant little poo poo will go down in flames, screaming about how horribly he's been mistreated the entire way.

Both of you are missing something important. Trump has likely committed crimes. Crimes that he would go to jail for a very long time for. So.....

Trump resigning (and Pence pardoning him) would be the ultimate disappointment after this massive clusterfuck, so of course that's what's going to happen.

Is exactly what will happen if Trump is ousted.

If they can get him on anything impeachable, the reds will cut him the same deal Nixon got. Quit, keep pension/benefits, and get pardoned. Or go to prison. For a very long time and lose everything.

Caveats included the past two election cycles have proven that Iran has a lot more chance of changing than Saudi Arabia will barring something incredibly drastic. 2009 too if the Imams hadn't interfered. Behind a lot of government window dressing your average Iranian is sick of the bullshit and wants better. What they want doesn't entirely align with our interests but far more than with the Sauds.

This isn't exactly true. In the unlikely event the rest of the ruling class allow bin Talal to live long enough.. He is a massive driving force in modernizing Saudi Arabia. Iran is moving much faster because the youth some how figured out the oppressive Shi'a rule is hindering their ability to succeed not just a nation but as individuals. But SA has a small number of its large modernization movement realizing that they are going to need to speak up. Once that starts to grow, and if Talal gets hold of power it will, then you will see 30-40 years of social evolution take place in 5-10 year period and all hell will break loose. Frankly its going to happen anyway once the rest of the world figures out that renewable energy is cheaper and oil becomes a "for cars only" product cutting consumption in half, if not more due to the rise of electric cars. At which point their plan B is hoping to become a tech capitol.

Someone did a really good in-depth article on the fall of Saudi Arabia that lined all this out, but its too much :effort: to google it up.

As a reminder, the Immigration Executive Order is dead on two fronts, pending appeal. The 4th circuit said "gently caress your travel ban", the 9th circuit said "gently caress your travel AND refugee ban". Both are pending action in the Appeals Courts, potentially going before the Supreme Court.

The 4th Circuit of Appeals just ruled and continued to say "gently caress your travel ban".

https://twitter.com/BraddJaffy/status/867802355844222976

So even if the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reverses themselves (doubtful), Donnie's travel ban is hosed. As it stands now, the travel ban remains doublefucked, with one of the fuckings only able to be unfucked by the Supreme Court. The refugee ban is singlefucked, but that's enough for now, pending the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.

Bannon, who already hates him, is the lead on the new crisis response team they are building to fix the Russia poo poo storm. As soon as he gets a reason he will sew Star of Davids on all of Jared's clothes and change his name cards to Jude. Selling out Flynn and the rest as Russian contacts will be that reason.
