Yup, that pardon is just going to embolden Mueller to pursue as many state charges as possible.

I really feel congress should get started on an amendment to spell out the President's powers. (Remember, amendments do not require Presidential signatures)
- Can't pardon himself nor family
- Can't pardon crimes related to president
- Must cut off financial ties when becoming president
- Can't declare war without congressional approval.
etc etc etc

If pardoned they lose the 5th amendment protections against self incrimination. So they might have to talk.

Requires a mental health screening once per year to determine if fit for duty.
I'd also throw in "can't pardon for crimes not formally accused of yet"

(Trump junior if it's what you say I love it meeting got described for several hours to a mueller grand jury by the Russian lobbyist that attended. If he was dragged in to talk to a grand jury that means he had something worthwhile to say - maybe something that supports an indictment)

A number of laws over the decades have effectively given the president the power to throw soldiers around first and ask for permission later, or never.

Which is more likely, Manafort flipping or Manafort dying of """"""""""""natural causes""""""""""""?
The congress around Bush 43 threw out that law after 9/11. We did a lot of scary things in hindsight after 9/11...

Somewhat related but on Twitter, "Trump Raises" was trending. It's about an NYT opinion piece on the possibility that Trump is raising an army of crazies to have a coup once Mueller makes his move.
Bit hyperbolic.
But I keep seeing these NYT articles trend, and reading the tweets I realize now why. The crazies keep accusing the Times of paying to trend, but the reality is they're so busy spamming the idea that they're paying to trend, they inadvertently cause it to trend.
That's my guess anyway.

Well, 55-43 and 55-41. Those are pretty solid margins, and 2018 is probably going to be a good year for Democrats in general. Trump's approval in NY is likely sub-30 now. I can't predict where things will be in a year, but it's hard to imagine there will be any serious risk of Schneiderman losing. Money can only sway the results so much.

But he doesn't block it out, it's all he ever fucking talks about.
If Manafort turns up dead or missing then shit is going to hit the fan in a bigly way believe me folks.
I think a lot of Americans are probably blocking out Trump for these exact same reasons.
Should be used as evidence he's unfit for office.
We can't have a suicidal president because his feelings are hitting hurt.
This feels like it is pretty legit 25th amendment ammo
Guess it's heavy being a shithead racist. Oh well.

His kids continue to show that they are fucking stupid pieces of shit.
You know, if a guy is so weak that he can't take any criticism wanting to kill himself, then maybe he's not fit to run a fucking country?
Second, he's certainly depressed a whole lot of other people in the country (and the world!) with his endless bullshit. So why should he be the only person who can plug his ears to it?
They sound like good friends, I'm sure this is all fine.
Oh man.... I don't want to get excited but are we in store for a bombshell today?
Trump projecting again, I see

This is the (former GHCQ?) guy who was contacted by the GOP operative Peter Smith, and Ben Wittes has vouched for him knowing his stuff... unclear if he's just guessing or actually in the know on this one though.

Wonder if this is about the supposed WaPo story that they've had for some time that has concrete proof of Trump knowingly colliding with Russia.
Am I missing something here? What the fuck? Is there any reason to believe he's on drugs or is Trump just projecting again?

Old tweet.
If that's where his mind was at in 2014, imagine how fleetingly lucid he is today. Yikes.
