They're celebrating the Comey firing over at Fox news. Honestly, Comey sucked and made a mockery of the FBI. So while I cant blame 45 for firing Comey, I can question the timing and reason.
Recent polls show unwavering support for 45 amongst Christian right and 85% of all Republicans. What differs from the Nixon era is that there wasn't too much policy separating Dems and Reps in the House and Senate and most of the country was against Nixon by then.
Unfortunately, unless he does something so egregious as "shoot a man in the street", impeachment wont happen for awhile now.
For the moment he could probably get away with that as well. This isn't a question of his political resilience or any miscalculation made by the democrats or the news media. The simple fact of the matter is that the pressure just isn't there yet.
I know it seems odd, especially after everything from "alternative facts" to an FBI Director being sacked during the middle of an investigation. But as your figures show, what's not going to happen is Trumps voters suddenly waking up to their collective colossal mistake and seeking to remove him from office. That's a much longer process, and even then you're going to have the diehards who will never hold Trump responsible for his own Presidency.
It took years for voters to accept the truth about the disastrous choice Bush made to start the Iraq War. And even that realization only happened once they understood that there was no other way to see the war other than what it was. Only when Americans could clearly see just how much it destabilized the Middle East (to this very day), and the trillions of dollars that was wasted trying to build a democracy there did it finally click.
Even if some of Trump's less devoted supporters are already experiencing buyer's remorse they aren't going to necessarily come out and admit it. Sure they see the ridiculous spectacle playing out in front of them everyday the same way we do. But acknowledging that would mean accepting that their votes contributed to something terribly wrong. They can't fully appreciate that now. Who would if you think about? Your vote went to some narcissistic neo-fascist who threatens the long-term stability of world?
As for Trump's most passionate followers, well these people don't actually think that they're stupid or xenophobic etc. In fact they're the most self-righteous of his supporters, likely to see anything that's negatively reported about him as a conspiracy.
So for the time being, many of these people are prepared to ride out the Trump Presidency.
The Iraq war? That was Senator Hillary's fault! That's the cognitive dissonance we're dealing with.
There's a great quote from the Expanse sci-fi books:
"I thought if you told people facts, they'd draw their conclusions, and because the facts were true, the conclusions mostly would be too. But we don't run on facts. We run on stories about things. About people." James S.A. Corey

Most house and senate GOP are so hell bent to get O'care repealed(read: rewrite the tax code) that they are willing to let the circus continue.

Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador

I can't even say anything at this point. What has my country become that a guy like this can be elected president? Can they revoke a presidents security clearance? And Hillary haters were worried about an email server.
Now we know why the US media wasn't allowed to be in the room when the meeting was taking place. He did this while there were photographers from the Soviet Union in the room.
On the surface, it looks like it isn't a big deal because it was about laptop bombs. But what is the big deal is it looks like he told them how they gathered all of the Intel. That's what's dangerous. Impeach the baboon. All of this while the Soviet Union media was in the room, but not the US media.

Calling it now, dumbass gave them the codes to the nuclear football lmao.
jk.
What a clusterf***. Dude is a dumbf*** narcissist. Of course he is going to brag about top secret intel to anybody that wouldn't have it.

Ironically it would have been the US media that would have backed up his story IF they had been allowed in the room with him. It's not bad enough that you had the optics of Trump all smiles, laughing and big handshakes in the Oval Office with the Russian Foreign Minister and Ambassador, But you now have General McMaster NOT ACTUALLY denying that Trump gave the Russians classified intel OR stating anything specific about the WaPo story that's false. Instead he makes a big stink about sharing sources, something the article never claims Trump did at all.
If you're the average American Joe who is considering all of the news that you keep hearing and are just trying to make sense of the optics of a President who invited Russians into the White House just after admitting that he fired the FBI Director who was investigating the possibility of collusion between Russians and his campaign................... you're probably scratching your head and wondering why the current congress isn't stepping in and bringing this Administration to task.
Anyone else getting that same feeling that we had during the Republican primary? You know the way the GOP ignored Trump, acting like they had everything under control and that he was never going to win the nomination? Well now he's running things and we have practically the same attitudes, as if leaving Trump alone while he engages in major screw up after major screw up isn't going to come back to haunt them or have any dire political consequences for them.
Message to Republicans: Yeah, that person he's shooting in public in front of everyone? IT'S YOU!
Its scary that if an ally has information they don't want in the hands of Russia they absolutely can not share it with the POTUS.
The issue is, the average american joe thinks fox news is the most legitimate/truthful news network.
The average american joe does not think trump has done anything wrong and tend to be the biggest hypocrites.
on
Only need to look at todays' Seth Rich death conspiracy swirl to see that Fox will stoop to anything to try and divert the attention of joe the out of work plumber from the WH s***show.
Pretty sad reading comments online that either this doesn't matter at all or that it didn't even happen.
