Well Texas writes the schoolbooks, so it'll just say "Trump oversaw a large shrinking of the federal government" and then it will move on with no elaboration.

Trump: Disgraced Mueller & his group of angry Dem thugs "made up a phony crime called Collusion"
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
Here's some stuff on the applicable law in that case.

I can't see a lame duck House voting to throw out valid elections without strong evidence. I don't see any SOS (sans maybe Kobach in Kansas) refusing to certify the election of someone who clearly won the vote count, since that would show the SOS was incompetent. The Freedom caucus might try it but there's enough "moderates" left to stop a coup attempt.
Watergate break-in happened June 17th 1972 and Nixon resigned August 9th 1974. Much different crimes are going on in these situations so I expect a different timeline.
Not that this is what he was going to be impeached for, but Nixon colluded with the Vietnamese to sabotage peace talks and consequently prolonged the war, which resulted in who knows how many more American and Vietnamese deaths, because he knew peace would hurt his election chances/help Humphrey's. I don't know that Trump's crimes necessarily compare.
If you guys have a chance, listen to Todays NYTimes Daily podcast, it explains this whole thing in 15 minutes.
Essentially the white house lawyer suspected that Trump and his lawyers were gonna throw him under the bus so he went to Mueller before they can and is now cooperating lol.

I'm not worried about Trump or the Republicans in that scenario. I'm worried about the millions of morons who will believe anything he says and think their country has been taken over or some garbage. If we thought it was bad with people firing guns at politians before...
Is the media ever going to reach a point of exhaustion with his tweets? And instead of covering them in-depth , having panels discuss them, and trying to get the GOP leadership to comment?
Will we ever get to the point where journalists say something like "Trump tweeted some inflamitory rhetoric today. NOW MOVING ON HERE IS THE NEXT STORY."
he only does this shit to get attention and we all fall for it every damn time. It's boring and not newsworthy. There is a pattern followed every single time.

So collusion and obstruction just got made up because of Trump, huh?
Also, Bob Mueller is disgraced? REALLY, dude?

He will resign in disgrace in exchange for a pardon once the noose is tight. He's ultimately a loser and a coward. He will then cry about it to the end of his days.
It's unfortunate that the Republican party has essentially sold out to keep their reigns on power. In the end, if this ever turns out to be what we all think it is (Russian involvement in United States Politics) it will really do a number on the United States. We're in such a bad place.
What's going to happen is that he flips when Dems win the midterms, screaming that the votes were rigged and then the real dictatorship begins.
Man who has lived his privileged life outside of the law is baffled when his job requires him to follow it.
Ultimately Manafort being convicted has only a small impact on Trump.
He's far more concerned about Cohen and the others who might actually be telling all his secrets behind the scenes. THAT is what has him most worried.
Yes, as is the man in charge of the entire process, the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein.
You're not thinking enough like Trump. Trump resigning lets him keep a couple of outs
"I never lost an election! I was clearly a popular president"
"I was never impeached!"
"I could do more to combat the DEEP STATE out of office than within it"
Trump has the mentality of a 12 year old, he'll perform whatever mental gymnastics he can to justify resignation if he wants to go that route
Yes and apparently so are many of those working with him. They are "democrats" because they apparently donated to Democrats in the past.
Please ignore the fact that so did Trump.
OP

"I'm resigning because I have made America so great. You know, too much greatness can be a bad thing. People always tell me, Trump, they tell me all the time, Trump you have made America too great!"
But then he "loses" to Obama by not being a two term President. He'll never EVER do that.
But the WH tried to spin this and say Trump had him work with Mueller all along as a statement that he did nothing wrong?
I think I still want the media to cover this as significant communication from the POTUS, but let's not play the "all sides" card in coverage and just call it for what it is. I think it's important for the free press to keep reminding Americans that he says these things with absolutely no factual evidence to support his ravings and expose every single lie he tries to get away with.
republicans are hypocrites with double standards, who woulda thunk
Obama won a second term, Trump has to do the same to satisfy his ego
Maggie's framing of the story just seems like a tactical strawman for the administration to rage against and attack the media over.
I wonder what's the count down on Trump literally tweeting for his supporters to "rise up" and exercise their 2nd amendment rights, and stop the country from removing him from office?
All these damn chess moves make my brain hurt . Trump truely is the greatest chess player of our time.
Either that or the dumbest criminal in the world.

I agree except that what I said was pointless. Because there are a greater quantity of people in the country who could turn the tide, especially with international support. It's the world that has to push us toward the right conclusion now, as we can no longer push ourselves, IMO.
I'll be thankful when we can go a day without even hearing this motherfucker's name. This is exhausting.
My first thought, dude is setting up his followers for something that is going to be coming out
Have we reached peak levels of Trumpism?
Level 1. There was never any collusion.
Level 2. There may have been collusion, but her emails.
Level 3. Even if there were collusion, collusion isn't a crime.
Level 4. Collusion isn't even a real crime!
Can we go deeper? Is there a level 5?
Level 5. I may have colluded, but only because the Deep State turned all the FBI Investigators gay?

Can we end this fucking shit show already. Goddamn I'm tired of hearing about this baby every goddamn day. If someone has the dirt it's time to come forward with it.
