what the fuck was so great about mike flynn that they had to have him.

This makes about as much sense as hiring an alcoholic to help run your new liquor store.

Maybe they viewed his ties to Russia as an asset?

Pence covered the evangelical vote. Trump was a pussy grabbing, thrice married, new yorker who likely never touched a Bible. So that didn't play with the god warriors.

They liked Trump before Pence came on board. They liked his racism.

 

[ErasureAcer]

I think anyone associated to Trumps transition team is likely compromised in some way.

So the head of the Senate intel committee. Pence in charge of transition just so happens to put Burr and Nunes, intel chairs, on transition. They are all guilty.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

You really think Ryan is gonna come out clean in all of this?

I dont think he will get dirty enough that he steps down or that anything substantive comes of it. Will be happy to be proven wrong.

Except it was always white evangelicals that LITERALLY were the only group to approve of Trump by a vast majority (like 70+%).

White Evangelicals are mostly just bigots that look for any excuse to justify their bigotry.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Was Pence ever under oath when he lied about Flynn?

 

[RDreamer]

Was Pence ever under oath when he lied about Flynn?

No I don't believe so, but he wouldn't really need to be. If this entire thing gets Flynn for treason and Trump ousted and Pence was the head of the transition team that knew about him the whole fucking time? Yeah, he ain't gonna make it either.

Maybe this is just political fanfic, but perhaps people on both sides could persuade reps to have Ryan resign before pence and trump do. That way, since anyone could theoretically be made speaker, why not urge them to install the most popular politician in America?

[Kevtones]

Honestly surprised this isn't moving as fast. I think this revelation may be what undoes this Admin finally.

any scenario where a democrat becomes president before the next presidential election is definitely fanfic

 

[SchrodingerC]

Too. many. revelation. bombs.

Just keep on stumbling.

 

[AdmiralSnackbar]

I can only imagine what Comey said on his way out the door. I wonder if he ever let Donald know exactly what it was he had just done?

 

[Ryck]

So what happens of they both go down? (Trump/Pence)

 

[GoldenEye 007]

So what happens of they both go down? (Trump/Pence)

President Ryan.

 

[KingV]

So it sounds like Flynn and Manafort are probably going to jail and Pence and Trump are going to be impeached. Pretty nice odds that Paul ryan gets booted as speaker. What a sweeeet day

 

[TheCochese]

Midterm elections could flip #3 and #4. President Pelosi or Leahy based on last D holders.

President Ryan.

FML!

Technically he's independent

Given all that's transpired so far, who knows, it just might be crazy enough to work. Or as Dolan would say:

 

[Bakercat]

So what happens of they both go down? (Trump/Pence)

In this case the line of succession move to house leader which is Paul Ryan.

Edit: speaker of the house I should say.

 

[ahoyhoy]

Nothing on Bannon yet

Bannon is probably the one leaking a lot of what's going on in the WH right now.

His white Nationalist agenda has been sidelined and he feels gilted.

 

[Davide]

Hopefully not before Trump.

True true, I slipped up there.

 

[yanipheonu]

Though this is all new territory, so God knows what might happen.

 

[TheCochese]

Ag Secretary is Perdue. The fat one.

 

[Ryck]

He's up shit creek as well right? Who's after him? This is a historic melt down for this country.

It would be a little sad if the first woman President was due to the line of succession/total failure and collapse of our political system, but I'll still gladly accept that, given the circumstances.

 

[ahoyhoy]

GOP might elect a new speaker if this all goes down before 2018 so they can get someone more palatable than Ryan in line of succession.

 

[Balphon]

Ag Secretary is Perdue. The fat one.

Puzder also isn't Labor Secretary, as long as we're correcting things.

 

[jayu26]

Though this is all new territory, so God knows what might happen.

Hmm...No Secretary of Education?

In real world it's for the best.

 

[takriel]

Sink that burning clown ship. Let everyone on it drown in the waters of Hell.

Time for mad dog to step up and crack some skulls.

Spoiler

I have less than 10% faith anyone will resign or will be forced out

I think we are getting President Hatch. I don't think Ryan survives this either

 

[Mahonay]

Yep. The length of this depends on how deep it goes. I'm worried it goes really deep.

 

[Vectorman]

Would have been nice if we could skip Hatch to Mattis...

 

[Sephzilla]

Fuck lol

 

[smokeymicpot]

I think we are getting President Hatch. I don't think Ryan survives this either

Hatch seems like the only option at this point.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Laura Roslin was hot she should be president mmmmmmm

 

[kris.]

why is secretary of agriculture blacked out? does Sonny Perdue not count?

 

[Davide]

.

Who is this?

 

[smokeymicpot]

why is secretary of agriculture blacked out? does Sonny Perdue not count?

Trump probably never picked one.

 

[TheCochese]

why is secretary of agriculture blacked out? does Sonny Perdue not count?

He was only confirmed a few days ago.

Feels like a decade.

 

[kris.]

Trump probably never picked one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonny_Perdue

he did tho

 

[EBreda]

Are you guys sure Trump isn't Brazilian?

Usually we have a pretty tight grip on the whole corrupt president making system.
