These Trumplets just see and get addicted to their respective confidence -- just look at Newt.Went on his Facebook. The comments on his book post are hilarious.
"You're the smartest guy in Washington"
"You're an amazing historian"
"You're writing style is amazing"
Granted... these people voted Trump. Their bar ain't too high

Its true. There is a select section of society that thinks very highly of him. The term professor was used a lot -- even though for the life of me, I cant think of the school he used to teach. Maybe some community college.Did they all use the correct you're? or did you auto-correct them?
I don't doubt it. Sadly. It's just mind boggling though because he's an imbecile, and a nasty one at that. Just look how he treated his wife, abhorrent behaviour.Its true.

Americans and patriotism.Rachel Brand was confirmed in the senate more or less along party lines (52–46) which suggests she's partisan and the Democrats wouldn't be happy with her as the person in charge for Russia related stuff.
Compare that to Rosenstein who was confirmed in the Senate 94-6.
But on the other hand, Comey's friend Wittes vouches for her.

Yes, of course. Thank you for that mate. (In my defence, it was 6:30am)Correction.

All three wives have been blessed and honoured to be wedded to Newt.Yes, of course. Thank you for that mate. (In my defence, it was 6:30am)
Nice way to cover up for Russiagate.It's pretty clear what he is doing. Give him positive coverage and he'll give you recognition yielding clicks or viewership. Great way to divide.
In one word...what happened?Was drunk now I must catch up on all this
Don't hold your breath waiting for that, the Presidential pardon is the dark shadow hanging over all of this. It's never been tested whether a President can actually pardon himself (and the wording is far from clear on the matter).Just caught up with all that reading. Cheers @langster and co. He's toast, there is just so many prongs of attack now. I can't wait to read the articles in two or three years time about how Trump and Sessions are struggling with life in jail and can not believe the living standards they are having to deal with.
Short of a video emerging of Trump literally talking in Russian on the phone to his handlers in Moscow, there's no chance the Republicans let him go to jail. Even then I wouldn't be sure.Don't hold your breath waiting for that, the Presidential pardon is the dark shadow hanging over all of this.

"shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment"
Even if he tried to pardon himself and the Supreme Court ruled against it, he can and almost certainly would be pardoned by Pence anyway. The chance of the Republicans letting a Republican president go to jail is vanishingly small.
I'm expecting some small fry to end up in jail, and the major players get pardoned.

I disagree for a few reasons.Short of a video emerging of Trump literally talking in Russian on the phone to his handlers in Moscow, there's no chance the Republicans let him go to jail. Even then I wouldn't be sure.
Knowing the current GOP house/Senate, if he is booted they'd actually start calling him a Democrat president they never sided with.I disagree for a few reasons.
1. Trump could be found guilty of treason amongst many other serious crimes. This is way bigger and way more serious than Nixon. There is so much suspicion and paranoia at the minute that pardoning Trump would probably be viewed as a similar sort of act to Trump attempting to protect Flynn from justice. If Trump is found guilty and they are to cleanse the government of all Russian suspicions, they are going to have to bite the bullet and let Trump fall on his own sword.
2. Trump is still viewed by some of the GOP as a democrat taking advantage of the Republican party and in turn they are taking advantage of him by using him as a fall guy for their fascist agendas. They will have no trouble flipping the narrative and letting him take the heat to clear the Republican party of links to the whole Russian scenario.
3. This is the biggest reason for me... They will want to shut him the hell up. A pardoned Trump is going to go on a world tour, screaming conspiracy theories and inciting rage and riots. He's going to do his best to flip his support away from a Republican party that he will feel no loyalty to and will feel turned on him. He will create a frenzy. It'll be in everyone's best interests that he is in a prison cell with very limited access to the media.

Congress can overturn a pardon apparently, but it requires 2/3 I believe. Unlikely for individual pardons, but easy for something insane.What's to stop a President on the verge of being impeached pardoning everyone in the US for all crimes they've ever been convicted of, in one last FU? Imagine the chaos as the jail doors open!
Sniiiiiiiitch!
Trump won't fall on his sword though. They basically have a choice (if the impeachment becomes inevitable) between him resigning with the promise of a pardon, or the optics of a Republican president (and god knows how many other senior Republicans) being dragged through congress and the courts in a process that would go on for many months, with all their secrets laid bare. Possibly just in time for the 2018 midterms. That's the horror scenario for the Republicans, they could face annihilation at the polls despite their gerrymandering.I disagree for a few reasons.

Don't think that's true.Congress can overturn a pardon apparently, but it requires 2/3 I believe. Unlikely for individual pardons, but easy for something insane.
I just checked, you're quite right. It was apparently Mondale who tried to introduce a constitutional amendment that would have allowed 2/3 of both houses of congress to overturn a pardon, but it never passed. So yeah, if he wanted to mass pardon everyone convicted of federal crimes, there seems to be no way to stop him.Don't think that's true.
It's not. Neither Congress nor SCOTUS can stop a presidential pardon.Don't think that's true.
Would make a good plot for a horror movie. Or as it's now known, real life.I just checked, you're quite right.

Oh my, you dirty grass! There was so much breaking news last night and I didn't want to keep spamming messages so tried to keep it all in a few as it looked more tidy and so I wouldn't be accused of spamming.Max of 3 transfer tweets per post langs . @Raoul will be after you
Thanks mateSniiiiiiiitch!
http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/16/media/pro-trump-media-broken-immigration-promise/index.htmlThe Department of Homeland Security announced Thursday night that the Trump administration would maintain an Obama-era programproviding protection to undocumented immigrants brought to the US illegally as children by their parents -- but it's unlikely those who consume the news through conservative media outlets have a clue.
