This is my feeling as well. It's textbook narcissism. What could the government or anyone else give him as incentive to resign from a platform that enables his narcissism on a global level?
They should never take that deal unless they can trap card him and prosecute as soon as he resigns.This was a tweet from a few days ago but it was a "legit" or rather, mainstream source. May have linked to BS wishful thinking but I am at least going to go find the link. Brb
Edit.
Worse.

Ironically the least believable part is the idea he'd resign to help his family.
But it came up in December twice and does make me wonder if there's a (literal) trial balloon - what's the public appetite for this exit strategy.
The military splintering comes from who's loyal to the Commander In Chief and who's loyal to the Constitution.
I agree and this share this sentiment as well thinking back to my time in the military. I was a green-side corpsman with the Marines, and you're not getting into the armory by force unless you're looking for a death wish.I can almost guarantee there would be no military splintering. Weapons/ammunition are so tightly controlled (I was a company armorer, and if I remember correctly I was the only person in the company that had keys to the arms room) that even if some tried to seize them and do their thing, they would be so vastly outnumbered/out-gunned. On top of that, most officers are not dumb, and they take their oaths very seriously. I remember my old CO giving me shit because I hadn't read the constitution.
edit: thinking back on my leadership, enlisted and commissioned, I am confident that even the most redneck, conservative of them would stand by the country before Trump.

All of that is just talk imo.Like police and service people trippinng over themselves to get an autographed maga hat?
these people would believe, and i mean believe, that they are protecting the country from the other side. It is a cult.
Mattis had some fucked up statements/beliefs. He stayed on with everything and just quit when the president went over his head. He didnt stay and defend america from this man. Knowing full well we wouldn't suddenly leave syria overnight, And it would continue to take years. Trump is a threat to democracy. Hes a 4 star general. And im sure he is not a one off.
I mean how does your personal experience, account for that? Honest question, not coming at you.
Lol ive watched those videos. Some vets do stolen valor hunting. Its amazing. Its like mass hysteria. Well thanks for the reply.All of that is just talk imo.
Also, you'd be surprised how many people claim to be veterans that are actually not. They're weekend warriors who couldn't get pass boot camp or MEPS or didn't even bother to go to a recruiter. They can't provide a copy of a DD-214 or even a screenshot of their ebenefits account as proof of their service. Shit, you even have people pretending to be veterans because they want access to VA healthcare. IMO, I wouldn't be worried about veterans; it's the wannabes that frighten me.
I have a cousin on my father's side who thinks he served his country, when in reality he couldn't hack boot camp and was kicked out for being physically unfit. At every family meeting (recently this past Thanksgiving) he always brings up his "veteran" staus, and I always have to shut that shit down.
My cousin plays Rambo on the weekends by going to the range and convinces himself that he's a badass because he knows how to field strip his AR-15.
It really is mass hysteria.Lol ive watched those videos. Some vets do stolen valor hunting. Its amazing. Its like mass hysteria. Well thanks for the reply.
"At my Executive instruction, I the President have been granted a modest suite in one of our country's great institutions for justice. I have chosen to live modestly, much like the Pope and many other great men before me! Very excited to share details about my next project as soon as my assistant Pedro (one of the Good Ones!) has "trained" his prison pocket to store a full paper-and-ink Presidential Communiqué. #LockHerUpFromTheInside"lol im going to wait to see when he's in prison and he tweets.
"not in prison. just working from home here"
So they whack off a bunch a guy to get to the top eh?Nah. Mob Bosses actually got to their spots by whacking their competition, being ruthless criminals, murderers etc. Trump is a coward. He wants to pretend he's Tony Soprano. He's anything but.

Cognitive dissonance. The mental gymnastics required to rationalize all of this must be getting intense..that he was working with the Russians was quite clear even before he got elected.. I don't understand why people are so blind

I was at an engagement party in early 2017. The groom to be was a childhood friend of mine, who is now an operative in British Intelligence but also a famous bullshitter. I made a beeline for him when I got there to ask about Trump, because he'd just been over there as part of the British Intelligence team sent over during the induction or whatever it is. He was absolutely double adamant that Trump was not being investigated for Russian collusion and we made a wager on it.
Long story short I'm about to text him and claim my £100.
An official statement from the President of the United States.
Fucking hell, man.
For great justice? In yo face moments? Dunkers all the way bro. They last longer and are recorded in the catalogs of history. Nobody remembers a 3 pointer.
How much of the investigation do you think they did in 3 days? When Mueller has taken YEARS.
The thing with Nixon tho is that he didnt have an entire fucking party and a Senate Majority Leader backing all his fucked up treasonous earth destroying shit.It isn't. We need to collectively remind ourselves of that from time to time.
After Nixon we made a bunch of rules to contain a criminal Executive. We will need to overwhelm the GOP or they'll come back with another Trump sooner or later.
Rumor that Trump might resign in exchange for a deal may end up being the next Nixon pardon.
I don't think the point of the article is that he is guilty, but rather that the FBI believed he could be based on the context of the Comey firing and their own intelligence and it was compelling enough to begin investigating immediately.Okay aaaaand...? Of course he has/is. Next?
That closed door, no microphone session with Putin should have been more than enough.
The counterintel was key and Trump took the bait.I don't think the point of the article is that he is guilty, but rather that the FBI believed he could be based on the context of the Comey firing and their own intelligence and it was compelling enough to begin investigating immediately.
Only way I accept that deal is if it includes removal of his entire administration, removal of all his judicial appointments including SCOTUS, removal of McConnell and all the GOP that actively protect him, and installing a dem controlled White House and senate.
Otherwise, hang the bitch for treason.
