Nixon's White House counsel certainly saw the echoes when he was speaking earlier.

lionheart · 17/05/2017 01:49

Maybe he needs to release some of that energy via a tweet or two.

Please No.

Is Mattis still in the Middle East?

lionheart · 17/05/2017 01:52

Grin Trump's biographer often talks about Trump's 'self-sabotaging' temdencies. He must have had so many 'I told you so moments' of late.

cozietoesie · 17/05/2017 01:53

Blimey. I wouldn't say that the markets are tanking but they're real unhappy.

McCain just said at a dinner honoring him that the Trump scandals have reached a "Watergate size and scale" -- wow

McCain?

Replying to @timkmak
McCain is speaking at the International Republican Institute where he is receiving the Freedom Award

McCain said that the confirmation of Gorsuch simply will not be enough for the Republicans to stand on in 2018

McCain said the advice he would give Trump is the same others would give Nixon: "Get it all out." Meaning tell the full truth now

McCain says having Russian foreign minister Lavrov in the Oval Office is just "unacceptable" due to Russian abuses

McCain appeared very much moved when he was presented the Freedom Award and dissidents around the world thanked him for supporting them

The comments below that are pretty
disparaging of McCain though - is he going to take action and if so will it be wringing his hands or furrowing his brow etc

AGnu · 17/05/2017 02:04

What's the current record for the shortest presidency? It would drive him mad if that's what he was remembered for! Grin

RedToothBrush · 17/05/2017 02:07

White House sources say Trump is cursing up a storm - ranting and raving. Yelling at staffers & using the "F" word. He's losing it tonight.

The more if this the better. It makes it more and more obvious the situation is out of control and Trump is not in control.

Hard to ignore or normalise.

David Frum @ DavidFrum
This is no longer about Trump. We know what he is. It's about Congress and specifically Republicans in Congress. Who are they?

As I said yesterday. It's about the Republicans now. Who will step up. No one really cares what Trump is saying anymore it's so batshit. He's lost control of the agenda. Media and IC getting control now. Trump being reactionary in a way he wasn't previously - it's gone from crisis management to can't manage the crisis swearing. So people looking for the leadership elsewhere. Republicans have no where and no one to hide behind anymore.

Media and IC need to keep up the pressure.

lionheart · 17/05/2017 02:08

I don't think he can claim that record AGnu.

cozietoesie · 17/05/2017 02:09

Ah. Mattis seems fairly calm.

lionheart · 17/05/2017 02:17

He could maybe get the bronze.

#BREAKING: @maddow reports that another subpoena has been issued in #TrumpRussia probe. Subpoena is for docs related to Manafort.

Per @maddow, the subpoena is seeking docs related to a loan taken out by frmr Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort.

Report from earlier today gives some context for @maddow scoop--> 'Manafort Got $3.5M Mystery Mortgage, Paid No Tax' t.co/umosTo6YU2?amp=1

ohfourfoxache · 17/05/2017 02:19

Please excuse my naivety, but what are your thoughts about whether or not he's actually going to be "got rid of" in one way or another?

It seems that he's done so much already that is questionable at the very least, and yet he's been sworn in and he's still there?

cozietoesie · 17/05/2017 02:22

Goodness. It's not naive.

Personally? I don't know, I'm afraid. I still don't think he'll resign as Nixon did. But I only have a sketchy grasp of what he's capable of doing.

Republican lawmakers hard to find on cable news tonight. @allinwithchris got cancellations and hearing even Fox bookers struggling.

(The Hill) Sen. McCain believes Trump administration scandals reaching Watergate heights. IMO - exceeded! Trump is even WINNING on the scandals front (for me, anyway).
