Finding a way through 'the avalanche of crazy' or Trump thread 96.

From back in Decemeber:

'This shouldn’t get lost in the avalanche of crazy. The wall we need is between DOJ and the White House. The foundation of our democracy- the rule of law- depends on it.' Sally Q. Yates.

Much will depend on what happens to Bibi.

Remember Nixon and Ford,lion.

I didn't realise that Giuliani and Biden had a long- standing grudge match - 35 years all told.

I am trying to deny the possibility of Pence.

I was wondering about his polling numbers and also whether his desire to be such a blank space might count against him.

He's always been waiting. But there must be others too.

If Trump goes, Pence is president by default, unless he can be impeached as well. That worries me.

(I remember a bar I was in when Reagan was shot. There was a whole lot of jubilation, until someone said, "Have you noticed who becomes president if he dies?" and there was a sudden silence. And Bush senior was comparatively stable.)

Not going to happen with this lot of lily-livered arse-lickers.

‘Out on a limb’: Inside the Republican reckoning over Trump’s possible impeachment

“Nobody wants to be the zebra that strays from the pack and gets gobbled up by the lion,” a former senior administration official said in assessing the current consensus among Senate Republicans. “They have to hold hands and jump simultaneously … Then Trump is immediately no longer president and the power he can exert over them and the punishment he can inflict is, in the snap of a finger, almost completely erased.”



A stampede?

Trump and Giuliani allies driving the attempt to change the senior management at Ukraine's Naftogaz appear to have had inside knowledge of the U.S. government’s plans in Ukraine. They told people that Amb. Yovanovitch would be recalled 3 months in advance.
