PDPGuy: Per DOJ guidelines, Director Mueller, as special counsel, will only turn in his recommendation to the Justice Department and Congress. He can't issue an indictment against a sitting president because, in the OLC's opinion, the president is a unique office holder.
If Mueller's report finds that Trump was directly involved in a treasonous plot to influence the US election, or in some other crime, the House of Reps could commence impeachment proceedings against the president: it that is highly unlikely given the current composition of the House.
Wait..wait..wait....Trump now took it upon himself to influence what? OR You wanted to imply Trump-Russia collusion which a single evidence have not been presented since this noise making started. The truth, they say, will set one free. Let's wait for it.
It’s a Coup!: They have termed this coup "The Resistance" and with the aid of our activist judicial system, educational institutions, Hollywood, the press, and social media; they are leading a full blown war against President Trump!

Shameful and dangerous if true. We are not likely to see a deescalation of tensions or a return to the rule of law with such tactics. When conservatives react and react they will, what then? Anarchy!
fleebenjuicen • 1h Well, shit. We (patriotic Americans) know that we could easily squash a lefty uprising, but of course we would prefer not to. However, at some point we may have no choice but to use the last resort option.
Think about it this way: let's say you're carrying a concealed weapon for personal safety, and someone gets up in your face and starts yelling at you. You know you could solve the problem by shooting them, but that would be a major overreaction, not go well legally, and be immoral as it violates the NAP by suddenly amplifying the use of force. Well, that's the situation we've been in with the left for a long time now.
They have been screaming in our faces for years, getting louder and louder. And worse, a crowd has formed, picking our pockets and insulting us while we take this abuse. Yet, we still do not shoot. We still hope and pray that the situation can be solved peacefully. We hope that reason and civility will win out, and that by remembering our morals and standards we can weather the storm by maintaining our integrity.
At this point it appears that the left is attempting to totally undermine our system, and by extension, our way of life, and our kids' future. They are actively attempting to impose upon us an existential threat to our nation. This is equivalent, perhaps, to the person going from screaming at you to pulling out a knife.
For the love of God, I hope the left realizes that we are armed. They still have time to turn back. All they need to do is stop actively attempting to take over our country.
Wyomingchemo • 1h At this point I kinda want it to go that way.
I'm so tired of their shit
SementeriesRUS • 1h Same, and I won't think twice about it.
Slangin_paintCA • 52m I think were are past the point where it would be immoral to react
logicallyevil • 51m Civil war or balkanization. I give almost zero bleeps at this point.
Mklingo • 1h Before a civil war would explode the notion of "balkanizing" the nation and splitting it in two would be more ideal imo. I don't know why it isn't talked about more freely now to be honest. Let the left wing lunatics have their way, build a massive wall to shut them out and preserve western civilization while they burn their side to the ground.
Welfare would go back to being an emergency safety net instead of a standard of living and we'd be far more prosperous. The left wingers need us, we don't need them.
thesynodNJ • 56m I'm not going to surrender one square inch to these pieces of shit.
cebusaxonTX • 41m I'm with you! Splitting is a victory for them. Divide >> Conquer
DakrareVA • 31m This is our territory. Run them into the sea.
pbeagle1851 • 53m At the end of the day there is a lot more in common between most people who identify as a member of either of these political sets of ideas or 'parties' than they have differences. Why would we want to undergo such a massive change to just about everything in the country to see if it would smooth things over. It likely wouldn't and would cause further conflict later on. WE all need to realize that we are in this together and the loudest people on all sides are the crazy ones and listening to them, and believing for a second that they are representative of the whole is a mistake that will only further divide us and make us weak.
We gotta stick together, talk to each other and find common ground before we start entertaining the idea of tearing this country apart. Together, for over 200 years we have built the greatest nation on earth, and to let that dissolve because of some political differences would be the greatest slap in the face to all of those who have worked, and died for this amazing democracy and country.
Raging_BoaterMI • 25m It's not the people it's the elites and globalist and they are pointing a knife at our necks. Self defense now.
neonwaterfallPA • 3m It is some of the people as well, to be fair. But, you're right, the major push is coming from the various parts of the "establishment".
Owl02KEK • 46m Not one square inch. The Union forever!
Lens_of_HistoryUSA • 52m Our division is more ideological than geographical, in my view.
amicuscodexOR • 36m Doesn't work for the many conservatives who live in states where lefties have taken over their large cities but don't represent the majority of the state. Oregon, for instance, was and still is a very red state ruled by Portland and Eugene, which are stuffed to the gills with former Californians and New Yorkers.
xxYYZxxCA • 34m We're not splitting shit, freedom isn't free, are you really ready to pay the price or are you going to cuck out to the satanic pedophiles and their supporters?
Floof_Poof • 1h This is stupid to even entertain. It would lower America's international standing and likely lead to our downfall.
amicuscodexOR • 35m This analogy kind of works in that when you kill a giant it just suddenly melts into a pile of goo because it had no substance in the first place.
DuvalpedeFL • 22m They don't deserve their own nation. This is land is our land, and they can either leave to the socialist paradise of their choice or cease to be. Their choice.
SirWalterWallEye • 9m There's no way in hell the federal government will let California with its GDP and military bases become a separate nation. Much blood will be spilled before that occurs.
thesynodNJ • 57m They pulled out a knife already. I can't tell anyone to judge the entirety of the deranged commie cockholster left by the actions of a few, but Moldylocks had a shank in her hand, and that Harrison Brown was killed by one of these deluded bastards.
Kingofcheevos • 41m Bleep it, I don't want or desire a civil war but it is coming. The only way it won't happen is if we roll over. I ain't rolling over.
0000010000000101CO • 19m In the back of my mind is a prepper article imagining urban/suburban combat in post collapse US between those who can provide for themselves and have guns and mobs of roving urban refugees and government troops.
DuvalpedeFL • 16m They are the ones that have openly stated they intend to be "ungovernable". They only want to rule. They view us as subhuman. How do you coexist as a nation with people like that? You don't.
neonwaterfallPA • 1m It is the height of irony that they don't understand that THEY are the fascists.
neonwaterfallPA • 4m This is a perfect analogy. Our side has been observing the CCW principle of "deescalate if at all possible", even up to the loss of property.
They have completely lost their minds. I really hope for all our sakes they find them again.
If they succeed in removing the democratically-elected President from office, I genuinely worry about a sudden and massive uptick in civil unrest (i.e. our side will have had enough), probably leading to a "state of emergency" and eventual civil war.
It's totally true. Don't forget that Obama's team is the one who "unmasked" people close to Trump in order to create this whole "russia" thing, and now they've militarized the media to flood us all with fake stories to support it. As bad as it gets just remember how lucky we are that we've got a guy who can fight them off better than anyone else.
EnoughPoliticsUsual • 3h These institutions are a danger to our democracy. The people have spoken in electing Donald Trump, and anyone who advocates Donald Trump's removal is an enemy of our democracy and an enemy of the people.
willvary • 3h Lots of people still don't see the moves that the trump administration makes because they're firmly under the belief that trump is too stupid to make good moves. Give it time.
zachsandbergTX • 1h Drumpf is a slowpoke....who has somehow hidden his Russian collusion from critics, the deep state, and 33 letter agencies!
FarmerDerek • 3h LIBS want a reaction. However I believe they are underestimating us
KleeminLA • 1h Better to leave us deplorables in our basket and woe to the one that tips it over.
UrthswordNY • 1h Freedom and Jusitce will be unleashed unweaved.
Wyomingchemo • 1h Nutcases aside, if they got the reaction they wanted they would be exterminated. I'm talking box cars and pockmarked walls
undead_drop_bearUSAF • 1h i think it's cute they keep calling it a coup. pretty sure you have to have control of the military to overthrow the rest of the government.
Slangin_paintCA • 48m Not necessarily. But you do have to attempt to remove the leader, so by definition Trump can't conduct a coup. Not in America at least.
undead_drop_bearUSAF • 29m no i mean the left are calling their "revolution" a "coup". check out the anti-trump subs sometimes. it's pretty ridiculous.
Slangin_paintCA • 21m My bad. Why am i not surprised that they can't get that straight either. On Monday "Trump is attempting a coup!" On Tuesday "join the REEEEsistance and support the coup against Trump"
Slangin_paintCA • 49m When we do react we will over-react. There will be no measured response.
transmagafier • 57m MISUNDERESTIMATING !!
amicuscodexOR • 33m Reacting is what they are all about. They literally don't know what to do if they can't get a reaction.
RichandlerCA • 30m I believe they trying to provoke the President and his supporters.
HellionaireKEK • 3h 'Treason never prospers'
What's the reason?
For if it prospers,
None dare call it treason
retraderatKEK • 2h The Russian hacking narrative is so fucking stupid. Nate Silver, statistical god emperor for the left, said that if there was one event that led to the loss of Hillary Clinton -it was reopening her email case a few days before the election. That changed many people's minds to vote for Trump or stay home. So that fault lies on James Comey's shoulders, who's now all of a sudden a martyr for the left. Folks, we're not fighting hard enough. The media, nevertrumpers, lackey Republicans, Democrats, and the deep state are closing in quickly and we need to fight harder.
mastodoncrackbabyTN • 51m That's the truth. There will be leak after leak after leak. True or not, meaningful or not, it will snowball into a situation where the average person thinks that the administration is literally in shambles (even though they'd probably crap themselves if the same sort of leaks were releasing during Barry's admin). Even hardened supporters will be so inundated with it that they just can't keep up anymore. That's their plan. And it will work if it is carried out fully.
Slangin_paintCA • 43m Those fighting Trump now better hope that there is not an attempt on his life because they will all be treated as accomplices and street justice will be had.
Bump-4-Trump • 2h "The resistance". Teaming up with societies 1% and elites!
12crashbashCAN • 1h It's odd how the resistance loves the establishment so much
BecausIts2016 • 1h They take their marching orders from the MSM. Their "resistance" is heavily funded by the establishment.
Go to the streets and try talking to one of these clueless people. If you manage to get them on unmute, they barely know anything. Just fairy tales like 67 genders and fascist takeover of America.
Sniglet5000AL • 1h I'm going to use this opportunity to vent a bit as it seems to be on topic with how I've been feeling.
The night Trump won, I remember feeling this sense of relief. That we are safe. We have won and we are going to MAGA. Ever since then, I have not been able to enjoy that relief because the liberals have spent their every breath trying to remove President Trump and undermine everything he does. This may sound silly, but it hurts my heart for Trump. That they are doing all this to him when he is literally... working for us, the people. The media successfully painted him as this monster (which he isn't and we know this) but those mindless people only have the opinions of what they should be thinking. So they believe it because that's what they've been told to believe.
Can you imagine how much better we could already be if they would let him work? Can you imagine how much more prosperous and comfortable we could potentially be? Now can you imagine never being able to witness his full potential because the left won't let him work? That... is what bothers me the most. That we are on the brink of a new American era that, more than likely, will never be fulfilled because of the left. Its terrible.
You know, I've been considering things I've never considered before, I've thought of things I've never thought of before and I don't know what I can do. Shitposting on TD is fun but there is a greater calling for me somewhere. I want to DO something but I don't know what. I don't know what my part could be and I don't know if I could handle it because I'm on the verge of losing my temper most of the time with this stuff. I could keep going but I don't feel that this post is the place. All I can say is that I pray to God, literally, that President Trump will just be left alone to do his job that we the American people put him in office to do. Thanks
Donald Trump's campaign made contact with Russia at least 18 times during his presidential race, according to a new report.
The interactions had previously been kept secret by the campaign but are now being reviewed as part of the FBI and congressional investigation into Trump's relationship with Russia.
Conversations between members of Trump's team and high-ranking officials including setting up a special backchannel for communications between the President and Putin, Reuters reported. That would allow the two talk without involving US national security officials.
Such discussions accelerated after Donald Trump won the election, in November.
The 18 calls and electronic messages took place between April and November 2016 as hackers engaged in what US intelligence concluded in January was part of a Kremlin campaign to discredit the vote and influence the outcome of the election in favour of Trump over his Democratic challenger, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.
Those discussions focused on mending US-Russian economic relations strained by sanctions imposed on Moscow, cooperating in fighting Islamic State in Syria and containing a more assertive China, the sources said.
In January, the Trump White House initially denied any contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 campaign. The White House and advisers to the campaign have since confirmed four meetings between Kislyak and Trump advisers during that time.
The people who described the contacts to Reuters said they had seen no evidence of wrongdoing or collusion between the campaign and Russia in the communications reviewed so far. But the disclosure could increase the pressure on Trump and his aides to provide the FBI and Congress with a full account of interactions with Russian officials and others with links to the Kremlin during and immediately after the 2016 election.
The White House did not respond to requests for comment. Flynn's lawyer declined to comment. In Moscow, a Russian foreign ministry official declined to comment on the contacts and referred Reuters to the Trump administration.
In the conversations during the campaign, Russian officials emphasized a pragmatic, business-style approach and stressed to Trump associates that they could make deals by focusing on common economic and other interests and leaving contentious issues aside, the sources said.
Veterans of previous election campaigns said some contact with foreign officials during a campaign was not unusual, but the number of interactions between Trump aides and Russian officials and others with links to Putin was exceptional.
"It's rare to have that many phone calls to foreign officials, especially to a country we consider an adversary or a hostile power," Richard Armitage, a Republican and former deputy secretary of state, told Reuters.

Looney tunes. Their Jim jones NSA took money from a foreign power to influence national policy.
They are just like trump, ignorant, incompetent and blustery.

Politico just put it out that the VP Pence has started his own PAC ( Political Action Comittee ), in case of the clown resigning or being impeached. I hope he doesn't have a heart failure ala Roger Ailes with all the pressure Americans are mounting on him.
You supported him then but we were warning you the guy is worthless and a conman. Americans are being scammed by the clueless one but we are waking up to his two bit hustling.

Still better than Hilary, I like to know the Moves of my Enemy...Rather have an uncouth Brute with no Diplomacy than a slithering Snake wrecking Havoc behind the scenes,
Actually Fvck the System, we really shouldn't direct our beams on Trump, The 2 party system caused this For decades, the GOP has been manipulating their base, Fear mongering and giving them spinned tales of former glory has totally twisted a significant amount of the population.
The fault lies with the GOP, they created a radical brainless fan base only problem was they went too far and are now shocked but I'm Glad, I hope Trump Desttroys the GOP and the Democrats split up...The 2 party system is a Con and Trump only has a small role in it.

FLASH BACK: Comey Under Oath: ‘Have Not Experienced Any Requests to Stop FBI Investigations’
“So if the Attorney General or senior officials at the Department of Justice opposes a specific investigation, can they halt that FBI investigation?” Hirono asked.
“In theory yes,” Comey answered.
“Has it happened? Hirono asked.
“Not in my experience,” Comey responded. “Because it would be a big deal to tell the FBI to stop doing something that — without an appropriate purpose.”
“I mean where oftentimes they give us opinions that we don’t see a case there, and so you ought to stop investing resources in it,” Comey said. “But I’m talking about a situation where we were told to stop something for a political reason, that would be a very big deal.
Had conversations with people laughing at the idea of anyone voting for Trump, literally laughing at the idea of it. I thought, who would vote for the guy with a reality show? But in all honesty, I wasn't watching during the primaries, I watched Bill Maher and that was about it. I liked Bernie, and at first, so did Bill, he even had him on his show a bunch.
Then, slowly, Bill Maher started saying things like "I like Bernie but let's face it, the guy isn't going to win" and "if you can't have the chicken, order the fish. Don't go for the shit sandwich." and of course I'm yelling "What the Bleep Bill Maher! You turned on Bernie before he even lost! A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE VOTING FOR BERNIE YOU Bleep! HILLARY IS A CROOK! EMAILS!! GODDAMMIT BILL!!". But.. I knew where this was going, someone was getting played as a favorite, and Bernie wouldn't win. I needed a backup.
I then read up on all candidates policies and noticed Trump hated the TPP - ok, well that's good, I hate that too. While Clinton claimed to be against the TPP I very well knew she had called it the gold standard of trade bills and she was talking out of her ass. He also was against illegal immigration, which I am also against as a legal immigrant. Bleep illegal immigrants! Ok, so this guys policies aren't so bad. Around January 2016, I thought ok, worse comes to worse, I'll vote Trump.
Then the Orlando shooting happened. Mass censorship across Reddit which led me here. Then the Wikileaks hit. Then all shit went down and I KNEW I had made the right choice. 8 YEARS.
CNN’s Van Jones said that President Donald Trump is nothing like the tough-talking candidate he was on the campaign trail last year.
“When he ran he was this tough guy,” Jones said Thursday night on “Anderson Cooper 360.” “This guy who’s going to get things done, this great negotiator.”
He continued:
“He was Trumpzilla. He was going to make Washington bow down. He was going to drain the swamp. Now he’s President Snowflake. Everything he says, ‘Oh, they’re mean to me, and they don’t like me, and I just don’t understand it and it’s not fair.’”
Jones said that kind of talk might appeal to Trump’s base, but to everyone else, “he looks increasingly bizarre.”
“It turns out you don’t have Trumpzilla,” he concluded. “You’ve got President Snowflake.”
Trumpussy, the big blustering bully is not so tough now without threats of legal action against detractors. i don't expect those alt right wankers on reddit to be any tougher
dude is literally an internet/twitter tough guy. when the going gets tough the don gets whining
