Don't forget the army of idiots known as "1/3 of the US population"
Some quick searches show me Mike Lee, a libertarian Tea Party Mormon who opposed the FCC trying to protect customer's privacy, doesn't believe in climate change (thanks to a quarter of a million dollar in donations from fossil fuel companies, natch), opposed Obamacare, and seems to want to have sex with the Constitution.
Lol, the republican motto of "IT'S OKAY IF WE DO IT!" Still, the urging to make a centrist choice is interesting. I doubt he'll listen to it though.
In the end, the democrats trying to play nice while the Republicans win by breaking all the rules is going to destroy this country.
The Dems should give Trump the wall in exchange for another Kennedy.
At this point I'm nervous just being America's neighbour
And I don't know that there's anywhere I could move that would be better, yet I still don't feel comfortable
Fuck
Trump's response (probably): "lol fuck you *picks far right justice within a week*"
Trump would have no qualms invading Canada over a trade war or if Trudeau didn't shake his hand the right way.
Fallout: retarded edition
Seriously, the dems should legitimately give Trump more wall money anytime he wants something because I'm totally convinced that the next Admin will be able to undo the dumbass wall shit as soon as they take office

That one dem is saying that, but the leader and at least a few others are saying to delay until after midterms.
We'd just make sure they bled for every inch of soil.
Honestly they should do everything that's prudent to ensure that they are. You can't play softball with the Republicans, they'll just kick your teeth in and piss all over your face. The time to man up and fight this fight is now. The next two years are going to be a turning point for this country and if the democrat establishment doesn't fight tooth and nail, they're going to end up going the way of the dodo.
A Supreme Court nomination is a hundred million times more crucial to Trump's objectives than this dumb fucking wall. Trump's fantasy is absolute authority and the power to wield the functions of law as a cudgel to destroy his enemies, reward his friends, and empower himself. You're dreaming if you think he would ever give up a chance to put a loyalist in the Supreme Court.
But he's also so stupid and petty it just might work.
I'm ready for a civil war. Just got to the point that I don't care now.
Maybe its needed
What do you mean? There is no coup, the military has not taken over the US government. Its Trump thats in power, not Mattis.
This is how the fucking window shifts.
Not all coups are military coups, bud.
Let's at least wait to see where the Mueller probe goes before panicking.
Places like Turkey fell to fascism thanks to the far right party controlling so much power, a fanatical base who will do anything for him and a monster to lead them.
Now, nothing really remains that can stop him. Trump has shown every trait of a dictator and he constantly attacks the free press and judges. He is going to try and seize as much power as possible.
The US was the last country on earth I'll ever expect to fall to fascism but here we go.
Yeah I actually sorta' like this plan, hahaha. Give him the wall, spend the next decade pointing out how it statistically does nothing, all the while enjoying that sweet, sweet new supreme court justice.
It'd be expensive tax-money wise but eh, I feel like the seat's worth more than that.
Woops just refreshed my memory of the definition
I still don't see how a revolution or violent action is possible though
Honestly not sure why this is a surprise for you. This was the way that the United States was always poised to go if shit hit the fan politically. Folks called it decades ago.

Pictured: Conservatives argue with a musician that he should be censored, that society has become 'too permissive'. Laugh at his counterpoint.
Why? The FBI has no authority to prosecute on its own. They can build the case, but its ultimately the courts that try those cases. This investigation is one that was destined to face the Supreme Court, as we both know with certainty the GOP is going to completely disregard the FBI's findings on Trump's crimes. This would have necessitated a Supreme Court case, and that would have seen justice done. With an unshakable majority of party loyalists in firm control of the court, that never happens.
Mueller is powerless without honest courts to enforce the rule of law.
Barring a shocking reversal of power in the both the House and Senate this November, within six months Mueller's investigative team will be disbanded, Congress will either be powerless of unwilling to do anything about it, the Supreme Court will refuse to hear the case, and the public will be so vastly misinformed on the back of state propaganda network Fox News that there will fail to be a critical mass of Republican voters demanding accountability from their representatives.
Our only chance here is seizing a strong majority in both the House and Senate, and the deck is as stacked as can be against that happening.
And if the investigation's final report is leaked somehow, or else released through a member of Democrat congress? Expect nationwide riots if the Republicans refuse to impeach.
Any speculation who he will nominate?
