POTUS 45.12: Dan, does it take courage when encountering the covfefe?

Re: POTUS 45.12: Dan, does it take courage when encountering the covfefe?

If you're in The Biz this is one of the early signs that things have gotten serious.

Aides and volunteers on Donald Trump’s presidential transition were instructed Thursday to save any records related to “several pending investigations into potential attempts by Russia interests to influence the 2016 election,” according to a memo obtained by POLITICO.

In the memo from a transition lawyer, campaign officials were told to preserve all documents related to the Russian Federation, Ukraine and a number of campaign advisers and officials, including former campaign manager Paul Manafort, advisers Carter Page, Rick Gates and Roger Stone, and former national security adviser Gen. Michael Flynn.

This is, for example, what everybody in the DIA and CIA got when torture was being investigated. And then -- oopsie! -- they just darn-it accidentally destroyed the tapes. Imagine that! (Have I mentioned Dick Cheney should be serving life for crimes against humanity because, um, yeah.)

Trump will of course backchannel that he wants the evidence to go poof. But the problem here is that everybody who actually does anything in DC -- as opposed to the eejits you see on the teevee -- believes in process and law, not to mention that if they were ever going to go out on a limb it wouldn't be for drip slime like Dump.

The best thing that can happen here is when Dump's henchmen lean on their underlings to commit crimes said underlings immediately ship everything back to Mueller's team. They better ship it to the press though, too, because eventually Dump will order whoever he replaces Mueller with to destroy the investigation's records. And that will be something new and different, even by the criminal standards of the righty Gestapo.

It's kinda cool to actually watch a slow-motion coup happening up close, especially when you really don't know what will happen in the last reel. Just look around at the apologists in their caucus and their media. Fully one-quarter of this nation would destroy 241 years of democracy in this country out of pure dull-witted spite.

The actual engine underneath is fine. The people are smart and dedicated. The political forces above them cause the problems, partly because certain personality types are drawn to elected office, but quite honestly party because that's the nature of a democracy -- we don't all think the same way and we have sincere clashes over policies and ends.

90% of what's "wrong" with politics is that somebody out there disagrees with you. :) We blame our elected officials, and sometimes it's warranted, but far more often it truly is democracy just playing out the hand. As painful and slow and mendacious as it is, it beats either violence or dictatorship, and those are the only other systems the ape brain has so far come up with for conflict resolution.

Someone will be Trumps Dean there is no doubt about it. The leaks alone pretty much show no one outside the very conspirators are loyal.

When the heat gets hotter, and Trumpy throws Spicey, Priebus, Bannon or Rosenstein under the bus to save his doughy azz, then the fireworks begin.

don may not do anything about that, but Governors do have the power of the national guard usage. As good as these guys think they are, they are still significantly less so than even the National Guard.

Who ever they source from.

All this worry about ISIS and Muslims, our local crazies may be the ones we really need to worry about.

Can we concentrate the two to fight it out to the death? The winner can then face the cops.

What Trump lied and is screwing everyone? Who does he think he is Reagan? ;)

Heard today that the planned tax cut is the largest in history and has nothing to do with the middle class.

Suckers.

CNN wants to know if Trump should be investigated. Poll.

If I had to guess what it really is, any household between 75,000 and 250,000?
