I can't believe we are even discussing these scenarios. Iran is beginning to look more stable than the USA.

It's not just Trump but the GOP who have been attacking democracy for several decades. This is just the latest, and perhaps most brazen example.

Final paragraph:

Congress must restrain him and reassert the principles of American democracy by appointing an independent special prosecutor to take over the Russia investigation. If the legislature won’t act unprompted—and the initial signs are that most of the G.O.P. intends to yield to the President’s abuse of his power—it will be incumbent on the American people to register their protests forcefully, and to put pressure on their elected officials. Trump is a menace. He must be stopped.

I think that more and more people are realising that this is no ordinary President, but a positive menace. I always liked Andy Borowitz's comment in The New Yorker that, prior to the inauguration, George W. Bush was eagerly counting down the days until he was no longer the worst President in US history.
 
Just had a look at Fox News online. Wow, it comes as a surprise, but the articles sound like they're in favour of what Glorious Leader Trump has just done.

Well done, Mr. President.

In all honesty, I only have one beef with President Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey: he should've been given the heave-ho on Day One.

But there's no need to quibble. The deed has been done.

"You are hereby terminated and removed from office, effective immediately," the president wrote in his letter to Mr. Comey.

There was no need for literary panache. You're fired.

Democrats, meanwhile, are fuming over their Cocoa Puffs. They hate Mr. Comey, but they hate President Trump even more.

There's really nothing to see here, folks. There is no smoking gun. There is no Nixonian scandal.

In reality, we're dealing with a bunch of hysterical Democrats shedding crocodile tears and a Mainstream Media full of Ted Baxter journalists who wouldn't know the truth if it knocked them upside their heads with a cast iron skillet.

I would be remiss if I did not address the shameful behavior of Republicans in Name Only. Instead of standing with the president, they were more interested in tossing gasoline on this political dumpster fire.

I'm referring to the cheap shots taken by Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC) and the Uber driver from Nebraska, Sen. Ben Sasse.

But the most egregious betrayal came from Sen. John McCain (D-AZ)

• • • • •

The cold hard fact is Mr. Comey was just not very good at his job. He was more Barney Fife than he was a Columbo.

So Democrats and the Mainstream Media and Sen. McCain need to take a Xanax, retreat to their safe space and put all this in perspective.

President Trump is just draining the swamp, folks. And when it comes to draining the swamp -- sometimes you've gotta get rid of a few snakes.

A small problem--that's a bill that appoints a special prosecutor, and Trump can veto it. 'Independent commissions' face the same hurdle. The investigation will have to be whatever the FBI is still capable of doing, and the congressional committees, and the media.

Then impeachment after the 2018 elections. Assuming there are any....
 
Russian photographs of the meeting between Lavrov and Trump, US media not allowed to be there. https://twitter.com/jimsciutto/status/862330633569398784

I reckon Lavrov can barely contain his glee in this photo. Though even if Russiagate is true, I wonder when Lavrov twigged that Trump is an unstable lunatic.

Looks like the last half-sane, semi-decent Republicans are being targeted.

Plus this from Hannity http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017...ce-to-james-comey-national-embarrassment.html

"a national embarrassment" "unhinged and very erratic behaviour" " failed the American people on a spectacular level" "disrespected the Constitution and showed he does not care about the equal application of the rule of law".

He's talking about Comey. How can he keep a straight face? Shameless.

That's the thing with sociopaths like Trump, they are shameless. It gives him a huge advantage as nothing will stand in his way and he'll feel no remorse for anything he does.
 
I wonder if he was escorted straight off the premises, or was he given time to clear his desk (and perhaps download some evidence from his computer...).

I suspect the former, but let's hope he kept backup copies off site....

He was out of the office on the West coast. He found out when he saw a TV news report.
