Oh it'll be worse for Trump than for Nixon. I almost just want him to do it, get impeached, and then we can get back to some normalcy with President Pence.

Walked through downtown Montreal today. There is a whole street full of country flags, all of 'em really. Except for the American flag.

So I go into a coffee shop and ask the guy working there why they removed the American flag. He said, "As Long as Trump is President, Montreal has every flag but the American one."

They really hate Trump.

There's the issue that Pence was at the very least aware of the Flynn problem and lied about it, so I don't think Pence would be off the hook if he succeeded Trump.

Wouldn't it be funny if someone on the chain of command put Clinton as their VP and resigned immediately after, in an act of good faith?

Leaving us with Paul Ryan. Fortunately for him, allegations against him in this mess are still very tinfoil-ish at this point.

In all fairness, this is French Canada. Significantly less polite than the rest of Canada. It's refreshing, I don't have to make small talk and smile at everyone. :p

Which might not happen if Trump blows up. Trump might decide that if he's going down everyone else is going down with him.

Nah, the coolest plot twist would be if both Pence and Trump feĺl right after a Dem victory in 2018, making Pelosi the speaker and next in the line of succession. GOP leadership would have such a mental breakdown... :P

Dude, it fucking has to be. God bless the French and all, but damn, whether I'm in Lyon or Montréal, there's always some snippy, rude fucking Frenchmen. Even in the countryside. It's an inherent trait, it goes against basic genetics, but it's there. :p

Let's put it this way: Spicer was okay with everyone else Trump appointed.

Apparently, he's the largest scumbag on the planet.
