NYT: Comey Memo Says Trump Asked Him to End Flynn Investigation

Based on number and location of open seats I didn't think dems had a chance at the senate in 2018. But if the GOP can't figure out how to stop him
 
Why the fuck would the donors of all people care?

If the GOP loses seats in 2018, and then more seats and the presidency in 2020, these donors won't be able to lobby for their interests and kickbacks from the government. Both of those things will happen if this toxic shithead remains in office dragging the GOP down with him. They want Pence in charge, and for things to settle the fuck down before the midterms.
 
Oh, boy, this political shitstorm is far from over right? I wonder if we will see a tipping point to the degree where his presidency ends.
 
Donors to Republicans:

That's what I don't understand, they are just making this worse for themselves. You'd think they can get more done with a traditional republican president. The fact that they are just letting so much slide is making it harder and harder for me to forgive them in their complacency.

I am really starting to believe some of the conspiracy theories are right. A lot of the GOP is complicit in the Russia scandal. It's the only thing that makes sense.
 
The GOP is scared as fuck. I'm already seeing attack ads against WI Senator Tammy Baldwin's re-election.

If they're going to do that, I think it's only fair that the Democratic party starts running attack ads on Paul Ryan (I'm still disgusted he's my rep)
 
Why the fuck would the donors of all people care?

AIPAC and likely law enforcement Unions, huge donor group to current GOP candidates and he completely pissed all over both of their agenda's this past week. When you add in the complacency of Republicans and how they aren't getting legislation passed they likely donated to them for because of the chaos they probably have a right to be upset.
 
Chaffetz is still a shit if you ask me... and would he be saying this kind of thing if he hadn't already announced he wasn't running for re-election.

But if Chaffetz is on the 'subpoena the memo' train... hold on to your butts people.
 
Why the fuck would the donors of all people care?

They put their money into the republican party in order to make the republicans win more control of government. Now trump is making the republicans look bad for his own sake/his friends/his own incompetency, take your pick of one or more reasons. This is effectively making the republicans require more money in the future and losing the control they already had and the donors spent money on.

It is the equivalent of your favorite sports team getting a new coach who screws everything up that may take years to recover. I know politics is more important than sports but it is the same mentality of becoming invested in something.
 
The pacing behind all this is giving me whiplash.

If something doesn't come out of this, at the very least Trump learning to shut up, stop tweeting and just LISTEN to his advisors, then i'd be very surprised.

I'm thinking he wants it to prove what it doesn't say rather than what it does, but maybe I'm cynical
 
I believe her and Spicer had a back and forth before. Also I don't think they call on her for questions during briefings anymore.

Listening to MSNBC radio feed today...she definitely asked a Q today. Saw her ask Sanders last week too.

Her Q today was about SS agent for top uniformed spot now used the N word during Clinton admin, and why is he up for the top spot knowing that.
 
This man's obstruction of justice couldn't be any clearer.

And as long as Trump is able to get away with his continuing string of abuses and idiocy, these stories need to be chained around the neck of every last Republican in office that takes no direct actions to hold Trump accountable.

We know Trump is dirty, but the Republicans themselves are responsible for keeping this unaccountable disaster in power. Every one of them. And they need to be reminded of it daily. And they need to answer for it, daily.
 
Wouldn't be suprised if AIPAC got the GoP all shook, seeing as cheeto hitler did just out isreali intel to the russians. That and obstruction of justice arent real good looks.
 
And makes the chances of Pence becoming embroiled by association or actions greater.

I've always wondered this. The only thing that I can come up with is that Pence might be harder to get re-elected in 2020 against the Dems. Although with how poorly Trump has been doing, I'm not so sure about that anymore..
 
Remember that time the GOP flipped the fuck out because Obama asked for grey poupon mustard?
Or they went apoplectic when he saluted an officer while holding a coffee walking off Air Force One?

Thank fuck that reign of terror is over now!
 
As far as we know no one in the press has seen the memo yet. So I doubt it'll leak any time soon. But we'll know if the memo is real and if it says what these reports claim.
CNN,WaPo,NBC,NYT etc etc have corroborated it. It would be one of the biggest media fuck ups if it doesn't.

Tan fucking suit.
 
Mitch McConnell was just asking for less drama.

Honestly, I'm surprised more republicans aren't open to the idea of getting rid of him, it seems like mike pence is exactly the kind of president they actually want.
The problem is that the GOP NEEDS Trump's fanbase to survive. Trump's fanbase is now the majority of the GOP and if Trump goes down, that will absolutely KILL energy among his fanbase.

Pence would be nothing except the Trump equivalent to Gerald Ford.
