Shit, Bob. I don't think you've got 2-3 months. Hustle your bustle.

He is going to MAL this weekend, so maybe that thought will keep him calm enough to not do anything rash. Wishful thinking?

So there is a deadline on DACA next Thursday, right? How can you possibly have a bipartisan agreement when you spend a week on retreat with your partisan coworkers?

The last few days haven’t been good for the people who want to release the memo. IMO it has been discredited. And of course the base won’t care but I don’t think they have gained any traction in the past few days. Thoughts?

Treasury released a report saying sanctioning Russia would be bad for the economy. I think they mean bad for Trump's economy. I hate the vague tweeting even though I get why they may need to limit what they say. I just wish one day the bombshells could be about something good and change things for the better.

Lol, Hatch's team says the "greatest President ever" comment was a bit of a stretch by POTUS. He is so desperate for praise. He is physically incapable of not lying. About anything.

Josh Dawsey has a buckle up tweet as well. *sigh* I feel sick. I mean, the release of the memo today is a forgone conclusion at this point. So anyone could say "buckle up" just based on listening to the news yesterday or this morning and be accurate. ETA: I do suspect Wray could quit today though, when the memo is released.

I honestly believe that this memo being released is going to blow up in Trump's stupid idiot face. People he picked to have at the DOJ and the FBI are telling him, do not do this. He is going against them. If he fires Rosenstein and then Mueller gets sacked, he is fucked sooner than I originally thought quite honestly.
I don't want those things to happen that way because the investigation needs to run its full natural course, but if he does this, he is putting his Presidency in real peril.

Like Trump thinks this is going to help him. It won't.
In the end, this will probably be the very thing to do him in. He's fucked.

ETA: I do suspect Wray could quit today though, when the memo is released. This morning it was supposed that Wray wont quit. That he isnt the type to take his toys and go home. Which means firing him, which is an even worse look for 45.

I don't think it's unheard of. Of course the final contract has to be provided to be read before a vote, but there have been instances where, let's say, school boards and teacher union reps work with confidentiality agreements during the negotiation process. I'm thinking in 2016 Verizon and the IBEW worked under a gag order during that negotiation. My friend's comment ofitbeingunheard of was wrt the SSA. Not collective bargaining generally. Also the part about scrapping the whole contractor has not happened to them before. Thanks - that makes way more sense to me. I do think it's unnerving, though.

Eh, I’m not convinced the GOP would even come after Trump for firing Mueller.
They’re doing everything they can to cover for him or shield their eyes.

ICE has detained a US Army vet who served two terms in Afghanistan and has 2 US citizen children. He’s lived in the US since he was 8 and is now on hunger strike.

Trump brags about passing cognitive test, says not a lot of people can do that.
I don’t know how to GIF on mobile but imagine the Miss Piggy headdesk gif here.

Like Trump thinks this is going to help him. It won't. In the end, this will probably be the very thing to do him in. He's fucked. His approval ratings are up though. I'm hoping that's just some SOTU bounce, but. So far all this shit isn't hurting him. I hear you but bigger picture wise it just won't matter, and I think it's just a natural bounce you mentioned. The majority of Americans believe that he should be investigated, and that he should be questioned by Mueller. Every poll I have seen recently shows that. The reality is that it is hurting him - people he nominated to put in these positions, who are also Republicans are telling him not to do this and he won't listen. This is going to bite him in the ass. This is going to suck for everyone, but in the end it will suck most for him and his people.
I also think some whistleblowers could come out of the woodwork as a result of this.

Yeesh. I cannot imagine. I've been thinking a lot about the parents of the victims. I read in one story that some of the gymnasts' parents were in the room while Nassar was "treating" (abusing) their daughters. I'm not sure I could go on living.
