It'd be nice if the Trump admin was Nixon-like in its radioactivity but then I remember Rummsfeld escaped by virtue of being such an rear end he was sent to like Siberia and returned to plague us later.

Yeah that's the extremely fun part. Usually this gaggle of idiots would be buttoned up tight. But all it takes is one minor misstep and you get a bunch of twitter poo poo flowing about "RUDE RUDY NEVER HAD A ROLE IN TRUMP ADMIN. NO ROOM FOR LOSERES ON THE TRUMP EXPRESS" so what's the use in covering for someone so unreliable.

I thought that dumb Buttina thing with the NRA was a potential landmine but Nunes is such a dumb gently caress he might be the crack in the wall.

And LOL that President Deals throwing people away like used tissues is the biggest liability to his presidency.

I don't know why both USpol and now this thread go into deep states of melancholy at the drop of hat.

Actually, thanks for that point of view. It really helps reframe the process for me and makes everything much less of a downer.

Just remembered how funny it was that, when the GOP was going over "WAS THIS IMPEACHABLE" they conveniently left off when Reagan knew about Iran-Contra...

Alright, I’ll bite. What makes Paul Ryan so uniquely ineffectual?
I also want to add that this is one of those rare cases where the GOP spin just did not land. He was touted as some kind of magic wonderkid policy wonk, got shredded to bits by Biden during the VP debates, and then his wonk-based bills and statements were just terribly shallow.

My fav Paul Ryan anecdote is when he said he stood around the keg at parties with friends dreaming of destroying the social safety net.
I can't imagine the amount of self-loathing he must feel, considering the social safety net is the reason he's not serving hot dogs at an Iowa state fair.

The obvious solution is to call @Jack in to hellban Trump's personal twitter account ahead of announcing SHOCKING NEW REVELATIONS that force the GOP to conduct the most honest, transparent impeachment in the history of ever, and then have Pence throw Trump under the bus with some poo poo like "I have become aware of a gross misuse of power by the President and must testify against him for the good of the constitution" and have hours of "gosh, I can't believe he lied to all of us like that wow".
