There’s a ton of awful ideas out there. How about a gritty Gunsmoke remake? An ill conceived reboot of Happy Days without any self aware kitch? Just like a bald nostalgic look at the 50's, particularly the “real America” social politics of the day. Reboot Supernatural. Maybe while the original is still on the air.

Yeah it just boggles the mind that now, right this second is the time he chose to make it explicit.

Oh I know that! I mean why NOW? Like what in the current state of affairs says “yep, looks like a good time to make this official” instead of buying your head in the sand and hoping like hell no one looks at your voting record next time elections roll around.

Who takes a long, sober look at the state of the Republican party, and then, on the day a grand jury is impaneled by a special investigator looking into corruption, voter fraud, and obstruction of justice, says “I WANT IN”? What’s this guy’s plan? I assume it’s “steal everything not nailed down in West Virginia and

Self harm through negligence absolutely. Death through “natural causes”, very likely. (e.g. “his heart seized up due to being filled with fried chicken” or “his liver, full of self loathing and for the good of the world, finally managed to make it to the heart to do what was necessary”) I meant deliberate suicide is

Sadly I worry he’s too narcissistic for self harm. No Jonestown end game for us I’m afraid. That said, him dying in office would be a remarkably bad outcome for us. The investigation is going to take forever but our democracy will be far better served by that than simply shuffling him aside to the ash heap of history

Don’t forget all the money laundering for the Russia mob/government.

It’s everyone including the hard liners. They leak to embarrass their rivals.

You’d have to get past Bannon’s beast form but yeah that’s all it’ll take, just literally lie to him, tell him it’s ice cream for only the most handsome president and maybe throw in something about how Obama really doesn’t want him to sign it. Solved.

You’re absolutely right! What I meant to say was “some transphobic shithead can write it for him and tell him it’s an executive order for presidential ice cream and he’ll sign it”

True. And I agree it’s hard to think of him as a real president. He sure as hell doesn’t seem to think so, having no idea what he’s doing and not bothering to try and all. I agree. I just hope we take it as intended: it’s a sober reminder our country is jacked the fuck up and we need to pay more attention.

No no no it’s ok! If he’s hanging next to Obama it just makes the contrast all the easier to see. He already has the legacy as the most corrupt and incompetent president in history, but imagine all the future people who see Obama and Trump, imagine their reaction, the constant reminder of just how far and how fast

I just mean all Trump has to do is write it down with his big boy pen and sign it and call it an executive order. He is perfectly capable of not consulting anyone before doing that. Implementation is another matter but it would put the secretary in the position of resigning or implementing it or getting fired.

You say “allow” as if any of these fucking clowns can control Dumpo. He has the self control and insight needed to just summon people and say it without asking or alerting anyone including himself he had that plan. But God willing this emboldens other critics.

Fuck yes. That is what a principled stand looks like. Hey GOP I know you couldn’t find a principled stand if you thought it was Trump’s dick, maybe pay attention?

Look we all want to see him humiliated. Personally my dream humiliation would be him refusing to leave the White House after he is impeached and convicted, and to watch on live TV as he is dragged, literally crying and screaming like a toddler, from the oval office.

Looks like we found the GOP slogan for the 2018 midterm elections!

We need more of this. Good for you dude for barely doing the literal cowardly best of publishing a book while publicly voting party line. That said it’s pretty disingenuous to say the party is in denial. They know damn well what they’re getting and they revel in it. This isn’t denial this is clear eyed greed and

He knows what it is. He may not know what the phrase means but he’s intimately familiar with the concept and execution.

As the revered thinker and poet laureate Cletus Spuckler once said: oh dis gon’ be gooooood
