In short Trump and the GOP ARE going to pull the War card in hopes of keeping their heads.

Explain your last sentence please?

Tillerson had been super anti war. He's replacing Tillerson with a deeply pro war yes man

You’re right. Clinton had a much better chance to get the wall built.

You know she actually did though right?

Let the fun begin, courtesy of Mueller and Flynn.

For once Im finding impeachment a possibility, even if I don't really trust the integrity of Congress to follow through with the.

If the Republicans weren't on board with the eventual consequences of the Russia investigation (impeachment), wouldn't they have tried to derail it harder? Why did Trump have to go to half a dozen people as reported yesterday to try to squash it, and get jack shit in return? McConnell and Ryan have both been pretty fierce "supporters" of letting the investigation continue unimpeded. You think there just wasn't anything in their power they could have reasonably done to throw it off course and still save face?
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

They clearly have no intention of going down with the ship. They didn't exactly choose Trump, they were stuck with him when he somehow won against the electable Hillary Clinton and the even more electable Jeb Bush & co.

Pence was the leader of the transition team Flynn says he worked with to setup Russia stuff.

Because stopping the investigation, aside from bad optics, also ties you to any 'obstruction of justice' charges down the line.
No one sane wants to touch any possible connection with a 10 foot pole.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

yea the idea that all the republican congressmen, or even just the ones in power, would jump on the (wild speculation incoming) ‘conspiracy’ train in the spirit of team playing is crazy. i would run, not walk, from any appearance of doing so. investigations are good things. everyone wants the truth (except for the guilty) and i imagine Ryan, McConnell et al are totally on board for letting it take its course.

i mean hell, trump isn’t good for gop congressmen to begin with. i’m betting all of them with any integrity (so you can see here why Sessions is so pleased) would’ve preferred any of the other candidates.
