Trump roadmap to stay in the WH

@Horace said in Trump roadmap to stay in the WH:
I suppose it comes down to whether personal responsibility, in terms of social ideas, is something you think about. I trust that every non sociopath takes personal responsibility for their local situation.
By and large I think the people who are responsible for the rioting are the people doing the rioting. Politicians who fail to condemn them or egg them on should take responsibility, but just because I think that greater gun control and a universal health care system would be a good idea, doesn't mean I have anything whatsoever in common with people who set fire to shops, attack people they disagree with, and steal widescreen TV's.

But then you choose to voice outrage one way or another. It's just an indicator, I'm not saying you said one thing or another. But we choose what we say.

You’re “nothing to see here” schtick falls flat. The damage he’s doing is too manifest to ignore.
My guess is this is the way you deal with the cognitive dissonance after twice pulling a (silent) lever for him.

You mean, after the absolute Schiff Show inspired by turning the FISA Court and the FBI on its head and using KGB disinformation tactics on American citizens, you're worried because Trump is using his legal rights in court?

We can laugh at this but it’s far riskier than the legal challenge route.
He doesn’t need the law on his side for much of this, just corrupt legislators and bureaucrats that will subvert democracy for him. I’m afraid those won’t be hard to find.
No @Jolly , quite the opposite. I’m pretty confident our legal institutions can prevent any autogolpe. My concern is when it comes down to a handful of legislators or bureaucrats as they are much more corruptible. See my first post in the thread:
