This entire week has been horrifying. At this rate the executive branch is going to collapse before the end of the year.

I agree. The last thing that we need is another Iraq.

That's exactly the right question, how deep does all of this go? There is no telling who was caught up in this and who was aware of what was happening. There is potential for the government to be thrown into flux and we are 21 months out from regularly scheduled elections. Anyone who is outraged about this mess needs to stay outraged for all those months, because that is the quickest opportunity that we have to create change.

Election tampering is very serious and that's what Russia is accused of. If Trump colluded with Russia to tamper with the results, then there could be a strong enough case in court to hold fresh elections in the event of a conviction. Congress is not going to do it, but a court could and if this goes deep enough, I could see that happening.

If the evidence is strong, impeachment will be unavoidable. There isn't precedent for new elections, but that power would definitely lie with Congress as well.

The interesting thing to ponder is who would talk if they were forced out. That might keep some people on the payroll if they wanted to stay. Too many people know too much at this point.

Trump pimps her out or at least attempts to. She attended a meeting that Trump had with Al Gore for no good reason. I'm sure her and Melania have been made to turn numerous tricks in order to secure business deals.

Trump needs to be impeached for compromising classified information.

Articles about that law seem to have come back up with the recent issues about immigration. It is good to discuss because it shows just how dependent agriculture is on undocumented workers.

That law passed way back in 2011 and was an almost instant failure. It was invalidated by courts.

Probably not, but qualifications no longer matter.

The legislature in California did a good thing when they passed the vaccination law. Anyone wants to enroll their children in public school has to vaccinate them and per doctor's guidelines. Interestingly enough, the anti-vaccine theories are more left-leaning in origin, but the right-wing has picked up on the theories as well due to their general paranoia.

More cronyism. Once again he is doing everything that he accused Clinton of doing or planning to do.

Remember, he picked up a whole lot of voters who are not Republicans and who really do not like him, but voted for him because he talked about bringing jobs back. There is already regret among some of those people and a lot of them don't care much about social issues.

He can't run as an outsider again and it should be evident by 2020 that electing someone with no political or government experience is not a good idea.

The woman is an actual moron, yet she got confirmed. Shows you how you can do anything as long as you have the right partisan affiliation.

Somebody should do a side by side picture of this one with a picture of Trump, because that would drive Trump up the wall.

There was at one time talk that Laura Ingraham was up for press secretary, but she wants to run for Senate in Virginia now. A talk radio show host will definitely be near the top of the list for any replacement, because Trump wants a character in that position.

He's doing something against the law if he doesn't want the Secret Service around.

Often it's more willful ignorance than a mistake. Having viewed that Twitter page it seems like he's trying to play clueless when he really is well aware of what he was saying.

If he was shrewd, that might happen, but he's anything but. The thing that works against him is his negative personality, which is on display every day and there is no sign he'll change. There were enough voters willing to ignore that last year based on him being an outsider, but in 2020 he will be no outsider. The term security moms was used during that campaign and those were the voters who sent Bush back to office. The terror warning scale was adjusted almost every week and suddenly was no longer mentioned after Bush was re-elected.

I believe that he will resign or be removed from office before the end of this year. This cannot go on.

Republicans stole a SCOTUS vacancy from Obama, so I see nothing wrong with filibustering Trump's pick. It's not like if Ginsburg's seat came open Trump would appoint someone just like her just because Democrats asked him to. Republicans set the precedent for vacancies and any vacancies should be held open until 2021 by their standards.

The tramp was probably underneath the desk in that picture. How dare she even suggest that Trump is a man of God.
