McCain has never, ever done anything that has not benefited McCain. What benefit would McCain get out of actually standing up to Trump. He’d lose all that lobbying money, he’d lose standing in the Senate, he’d lose support at home. If all he does is talk without actually doing anything, he gets to keep his…

Watergate would not even be a ripple in the pond these days.

The Russian stuff is already bigger than Watergate. What it needs is a smoking gun.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the Russia stuff is bigger than Watergate.

What is happening now puts Watergate to shame.

I don’t know if it’s because Trump is exhausting me or if Pence is doing/saying things we want to hear, but I now actively look forward to him taking over. Just for now. Just to get us out of this immediate mess. I get that he’s a Christian whack job who wants to repeal Roe v Wade and that when he was governor his…

I think we need to stop telling ourselves that he’ll be impeached.

Unless the GOP grows a brain and a backbone, thry won’t. As Samantha Bee pointed out, Congress and the Senate are going unchecked right now. Everyone is so focused on what a moron the disgusting rotted pumpkin is, they’re getting down to business dismantling everything

Came here to say this. He’s 80. This is the end of the road for him. He could go down as a hero, as the Republican who broke ranks and joined the resistance. Or he could keep waffling so his octogenarian constituents will keep voting for him.

I was a reporter in Washington during the Clinton Administration, and ran…

Of course 45 doesn’t want to be a dictator. He just wants to strong arm and insult all his enemies and pander to his base.

New thread!

There are a number of “moderate” repubs, almost all of whom manage to overcome their distaste of oligarchy to vote in lockstep with the rest. He’s just one of them. None of them are worth a damn, because they’ve done nothing to stop their crazier brethren.

I literally can’t think of what else Trump would have to do to get McCain to genuinely stand up to him, in deeds not just words.

Yea, my money is on him never actually growing a spine and standing up to Trump.

Perhaps we should mount a rescue mission for this man’s mind. He seems to have left it somewhere.

John McCain is a gutless partisan hack. He will not stand up to Drumpf until it’s politically expedient. By then, it might just be too late.

There is no try, only do.

Ugh. John McCain seriously needs to shut his trick mouth up. He is ALL TALK, and will never be a man of action in regards to Trump.

I forget who it was, Chaffetz maybe, who said “We’re going to start writing the impeachment papers as soon as she lifts her hand off the bible.”

It’s only illegal if someone is willing to prosecute it. What Flynn did was obviously illegal on multiple grounds, both the breach of the Logan Act AND lying to the FBI about it... but the senate and house committees that could further investigate him, the director of the FBI who could charge him and the attorney…
