I am saving my PTO for when all this blows up. Will be the most enjoyable week or two of my life. Wouldn't want to go to work with all the news coverage.
Trump/Russia/SDNY investigation
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
If/when Trump and his family go down, I'm going to buy an expensive bottle of liquor, like maybe a nice $200 bottle of something, and celebrate with some local friends. Money well spent.
President Pence will think it's all for him
Hopefully he'll get caught up in all of this.
I tried playing this game when Brazil's former President was looking like he'd be arrested any day. Bought a bottle of champagne to celebrate the occasion. That was 2 years ago now, and the bottle is still in my fridge. I'm not pre-planning anything based on Trump leaving or it'll never happen.
Alcohol sales certainly go up and I suspect gun sales too.

Lets hope this happens and restore that faith in humanity for all of us.
Would Trump still get a Secret Services detail as an ex-president if he was locked up?
All jokes aside, if he ever went to jail it would be a white collar correctional facility that would appear more like a country club than a prison.
Being the entrepreneur that he is, it will be a Trump-branded correctional facility.
In some ways I feel like financial ruin and political obscurity would be more fitting than jail. As @Raoul says he'd likely be in a cosy facility, and he'd no doubt big himself up as a martyr of sorts. Irrelevance would haunt him more than anything else, being a man who craves attention and all.
He isn't going to jail. We will be lucky if he is not in the WH in 2020.
Realistically, worst case for him will be resignation. Even if he's dead in the water, I don't think the GOP will want to move forward as quickly as possible and the Democrats won't turn them down.
If I were controlling the punishment, I'd force him to watch Barack Obama delete the @RealDonaldTrump Twitter account.
It really irritates me how matter of fact some people are when none of us really know what is going to happen. Webcam speculate, but we don't really know.
Narcissists don't resign.
They do, they just pretend it was a good move. See: Sarah Palin.
Makes perfect sense given Kushner's visits to Saudi. I wouldn't at all be surprised to learn that he attempted to tie Trump's policy towards Qatar as a loose quid pro quo for securing Saudi backed funding of his own personal real estate debt.
Haven't SA, backed by Trump, been very hostile to Qatar?
Yep. They have named them as the main backer of terrorism in the Middle East

It might not be as big as Iran but they have outed them for terrorism.
Do you really think the Saudi's are cutting ties because of terrorism? They are just as bad if not worse.
It's because they are close with Iran I reckon.
That's part of it but the main reason is Qatar's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
lol Kushner is getting played like a little bitch.
No I don't. That is the reason that they sited and Trump is supporting them in this. I believe that Saudi are a massive supporter of terrorism in the world.
Interesting piece on CNN right now about Muller. The guys is a relentless prospector. If Trump has anything to hide he should be very very worried.
Yep, which is why its a bit suspicious that the Qataris claim they have dirt on Kushner. What did he want in return ? That is the question.
Chris Hayes on MSNBC saying that Kushner asked for money from the Qataris a few weeks before the US joined Saudis and UAE in blockading them which is still ongoing.
If him not getting money for his building resulted in a blockade surely that's never happened before and it's extortion? That's fecking huge.

Its alright if she goes inside Trump will still visit her for conjugals.
He would probably be confined to Mar-a-lago and I'm not even kidding.
I saw that. As much of a honest, decent guy as you'll find in politics it seems. Disgusting that the GOP attacks him in favor of someone as repugnant as Trump
CNN had a program on last night that laid out pretty much all the verified info regarding the Russia stuff.
