I sense that TRUMP knows he's in big trouble and that the GOP will be turning on him too. He is getting more and more desperate.. look for him to try and cause some chaos and public disturbances. This will be short lived though.
We are nearer and nearer to watching him implode.
@pep
I feel this too. My readings of Trump is that he just goes quiet and I can't see him as President. I feel he won't be impeached, but the reason for resigning won't be corruption, but sickness. I think this will be the excuse for him to go. He's ill and won't be able to carry out his duties as President.
I currently live with a narcissist. I moved my elderly parents in with me, as they can no longer take care of themselves. Watching a narcissist devolve or decline is not pretty. They attack others without just cause, they threaten everyone who may see them as week or losing power. And when they don't get their way, they try to blame others, and cast themselves as the victim. They'll even become violent-taking aim at anyone nearby. This is why I can see IQ45 resign. He'll need someone to blame other than himself, so he'll vacate before he can be found guilty with an impeachment. He'll claim the unwarranted attacks on him from day one harmed his health, so he has to leave before they kill him, or some other such nonsense. He may actually have health issues, but they're of his own making. He isn't capable of taking any responsibility for his own actions. Never will be.
This is what we can expect from the White House as things go south. Have faith that we have long-term government and military employees who will be containing the messes they can. The imploding one will give orders, many in public, and the employees will be yes men to his face to try and limit his attempt at carnage (when you deny them, things escalate), but whether they act at all or slow walk everything to contain the impact of those orders, they'll try to negate his attempts at chaos.
The more he acts out, the more quickly things will move to have him removed from office. Judges know this administration is corrupt-just yesterday a judge ordered all calls/transcripts of dealings with foreign leaders to be preserved. This is unusual, as such preservation is covered by the Presidential Records Act. Obviously she doesn't trust the DOJ to see to it that the law is obeyed. I get that. Bush/Cheney didn't obey it either, using RNC email servers for official emails they wanted to keep secret, and then they wiped the servers.
With more whistleblowers showing up, I will not be surprised as we see more and more damaging information come out. It wouldn't even surprise me to find there are things that will make it so that the Republican Senate will feel the need for impeachment. It happened with Nixon, and he's a petty thief in comparison.
Well said, Cindy. As for your comment,"The more he acts out, the more quickly things will move to have him removed from office."
I think we all hope this will speed up the process for absolutely everyone's sake.
I open the news and all i see is everything speeding up like crazy. I almost feel sorry for his disintegration but i know in my heart that deep inside there is a soul whose volunteered ,if you will, to play this heinous part in the necessary disintegration of all that was corrupting our world, to bring greed, power, corruption, and evil into the light of our current dimension of understanding in order to catalyst enormous changes in all of us, and in our world in the eons ahead.
I hope and pray and believe that once all that does not serve a higher good will someday be re-created/manifested/re-born into something of a far higher energy and energetic vibration, all that is, all of us that are still left alive after climate changes etc.etc. and all of our world will evolve.
But for now, the caretakers and the caregivers of this earth and its current inhabitants, all of us who have given so much to others, cared fir them, sought to find some good in the work of caregiving/caretaking (like you, Cindy in this incredibly challenging role you have undertaken now with your father), with the loss of a beloved spirit-being of your daughter, the list goes on and on in all our lives, all our giving, sharing, forgiving and all our.physical and spiritual good-doings, will be part of some greater and better and higher good of loving that will rise up into the highest and only real power ..
Love to you, Cindy. May your challenges ease soon-- for your sake and his and your mom's and for everyone else who is hurting everywhere . Bless you for hanging on to your light and your love with all the power and strength and incredible courage this role has taken.
And just for entertainment purposes, here's your titled "IQ45"s latest self-fulfilling prophecy move:
"Trump amps up complaints, says Pelosi may be guilty of treason."
I can relate to your post about living with a narcissist.
I took care of my ailing father until he died at 90 yrs old last May. It was very tough, I knew how he really was my whole life. My brother moved away after law school, never to return so he could get away from my dad after we both lost our dear mother when she was only 42. My father treated her like crap and everyone around him when he didn't get his way. My husband helped me bath him, take him to his Dr. Appts even after we had to put him in assisted living right down the road we were always there to make sure he was ok. My dad was nasty to most of the nurses and helpers and racist against the black people and they almost kicked him out of the nursing facility for it. My dad was a more loving person too, not like Trump in many ways, but there is a part of Trumps behavior that reminds us both of my father. My dad was always trying to tell anyone who would listen how he was a "businessman". My father was not a well educated man but very handy and resourceful but he lost all his money in the stock market - a million dollars!
Sorry for the long story, that's why I agree with your summation on how he will resign and why. It fits to "T" how I see him acting and feeling after being raised by a narcissist myself.
Love and blessings to you. Sharing your story is a gift to all of us. I know that many, many here understand and can relate. We are all such kindred spirits here in so many, many ways.
So much power, strength and goodness among this tribe of ours ???
@pep and @celticwitch, interesting that many people on this site predicted T. going silent. If that literally happens, wouldn't that be a breath of fresh air? Not to hear that voice or see that face ... heaven. I once saw this Gary Larson cartoon that depicted hell as a man being stuck in a locked room with a dufus, whistling the same tune, nonstop. Kinda like what we have now.
During T's first year, I saw a doctored billboard of Bush Jr holding up a sign that read, "Miss me now?" I was not a fan of Dubya, but I found myself shouting "YES!"
If it weren't for all of you wonderful people, I'd be babbling to myself by now. Thank you! ❤️
More bad news for T
Judge rules Trump must turn over tax returns for hush money investigation President Donald Trump lost his bid Monday to shield his tax returns from the Manhattan District Attorney's office, which subpoenaed them as part of an investigation into "hush payments" to Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.
In a 75-page decision Judge Victor Marrero said he could not endorse "such a categorical and limitless assertion of presidential immunity from judicial process as being countenanced by the nation's constitutional plan."
Trump had argued he was immune from any criminal proceeding while in office. The judge said the president was entitled to no such "protective shield."
The notion of federal supremacy and presidential immunity from judicial process that the president here invokes, unqualified and boundless in its reach as described above, cuts across the grain of these constitutional precedents," Marrero wrote
Keep piling on bad news for him!!!
Home Run
NY Times:
Breaking News: President Trump must turn over eight years of his personal and corporate tax returns to Manhattan prosecutors, a federal judge ruled.
This is huge. Federal judge dismisses Trump’s effort to keep Manhattan DA from getting his taxes. Trump can appeal. The issue will be whether he has to comply during the appeal.
To Everybody;
I find that would be very hard to see that Trump will go silent? really? no way, he has too big of an ego to keep his mouth shut.
I am not confident he will just go quiet unless he falls ill.
most likely scenario, Trump will resign due to the overwhelming evidence stacked against him
he also wants to protect his children, especially Ivanka. Ivanka and Jared are under investigation as well.
I could be all wrong, and who knows how all of this will play out.
In the last two weeks, I closed my social media accounts Twitter, and Facebook. it was the best decision and I have gotten caught up with my projects, like art, mosaic, and of course my dogs.
I'm going to suggest a wild one here.
take a break...
