Just waiting for the "APRIL FOOLS!" Tweet
I don't think Trump failing or being impeached is going to effect the GOP that much in the long-term. Most of them (including the base) it seems never wanted Trump and his main supporters certainly don't come across as traditional conservatives.
It's looking like if he's impeached he'll be far from the only one. If Paul Ryan gets swept up in it, then that's a real body blow to the modern GOP.
Signing the "TRUMP SMASH EPA" executive order right now.
Some reactions re: Nunes:
Spicer insisted....
*Two weeks passes*
"When I said we weren't aware of him, I meant that while we did sign him in and did spend an hour in a private room, the investigation was never discussed and that is all we have to say on the matter".
It'll be a huge blow. I just can't imagine it will ruin the party that significantly in the long-term. Certainly not anymore than their batshit idealistic policies.
Ita funny to me as i always thought that Trump getting the boot was good for republicans as they would get conservative robot Pence. He would be a republicans wet dream of a president
I was wondering about the Senate's investigation yesterday which appears to be a lot more impartial.
Oh well, March 28th seems to have let me down, the Sergio Ramos affair of politics...
Hope it doesn't turn into a Gaitan.
Heh
Highly unlikely that anything nuclear is going to happen. But let's say that Trump gets impeached. Kicked out in his bum.
Why does Pence inherit the earth? People throw. That around but surely they'd have the country vote again?

Nope, goes to VP until the next scheduled election.
- Vice President Mike Pence
- Speaker of the House Paul Ryan
- President pro tempore of the Senate Orrin Hatch
- Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
- Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin
- Secretary of Defense James Mattis
- Attorney General Jeff Sessions
- Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke
- Secretary of Agriculture (yet to be decided)
- Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross
- Secretary of Labor Andy Puzder
- Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price
- Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson
- Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao
- Secretary of Energy Rick Perry
- Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos
- Secretary of Veterans Affairs (yet to be decided)
- Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly
That's the order. Pretty scary that Ryan, Tillerson and Sessions are in line.
There is absolutely no mechanism for a new election. Every US election has run on a 4 year cycle, even in the middle of wartimes.
The crazy thing is that the only non-bad option in that list is called 'the mad dog'.
Mnuchin?
So in your opinion, what does act of war mean?
He actually prefers "Chaos".
I'm just saying that the logic that it's only an act of war if the victim retaliates is twisted logic.
I'm surprised at how much of Central California leans red.
What we are seeing is kamikaze politics. Nunes is determined to take the investigation down, even if it means going down with it.
US administration delivering a masterclass in corruption.

Glad to see the Senate investigations appear to not mess around if they want Kushner to testify under oath.
Most comical list in history. What have we come to.
"What could possibly go wrong with Trump as President?!"
Well, him as president, and those in the line for the presidency...
At least he didn't pick Hulk Hogan, like I expected.
Millionaire Man Ted DiBiase failed his Senate interview, unfortunately
A bit of a crazy question considering we're talking Trump, but is he actually the most liberal out of the first few on that list?
It's also a bit mental that you have a succession policy rather than having the ruling party or all parties vote for it's best leader.
Someone needs to make a deck of cards with these names.
Is not hard to set precedent. No mechanism? You could vote inside two weeks. It's not difficult in any way, shape or form.
The idea that Trump could be found guilty of participating in something BEFORE he took office, that renders him unfit to hold that office... but someone else takes over is ridiculous.
Plenty of Americans voted Trump vs Hillary. A huge number of swing voters. They didn't vote Republican vs Democrat.
I fully accept that a president is merely the head of a party. Had he committed a crime whilst in office, I understand a line of succession.
But to have been guilty of things whilst he campaigned, lying to people for votes... the same circumstances shouldn't apply.
Not going to happen on any front though. I'm just thinking. Aloud for the most part.
He probably would of been less of a liability to the world
Spicey used to dress up as the easter bunny during Dubya's time in the white house. He's been a long running joke in the Republican circles, which is why they gave him the job of embarrassing himself on national TV everyday while covering for Trump.
