Cumstain Carl's anti-NN views are pretty well-documented though. He's written some decent articles even if I don't agree with his opinion on the subject.

He's 'Freaking Out': Distraught Sarah Palin Was the One Who Called the Police on Her Son Track

Sarah Palin called local police at around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday night to report that her son Track, 28, was freaking out and was on some type of medication, the Anchorage Daily News reported Monday, citing a sworn affidavit filed in court by Wasilla officer Adam LaPointe.

The affidavit said that Track came to the house to confront his father over a disagreement involving a truck. Todd Palin told his son not to come because he knew that Track had been drinking and taking pain medication.

Poor Sarah and Todd!

I'm confused. If trump can't fire Mueller, then how can he fire Mueller? Like if Donald Trump says "you're fired!" to him, what actually happens?

Why wouldn't he just keep doing his job since Trump doesn't actually have the power to fire him?

Rosenstein has the power to fire Mueller. Trump has the power to fire Rosenstein. So he can order Rosenstein to do it, and if he refuses, Trump can fire him and the next guy in line takes Rosenstein's job. Then Trump orders that guy to do it, and if he won't, then Trump fires him too, on down the line until he finds someone who's willing to do it.

From the twitter feed:

Or, he could select the most dangerous optionone Nixon himself executed once Cox was gone. That would be declaring himself able to fire Mueller and then sending federal law enforcement officers to remove Bob Mueller and his agents from their office and lock down the premises.


If you're concerned about this as a possibility, btw, check this out:

Well...if trump does something that drastic, that's as good as an admission of guilt. Hopefully at that point we follow the same trajectory we did with Nixon and get a legitimate impeachment together.

So hey, this could be a great short term victory. It probably means trump and his crew don't end up facing much in the way of long term legal ramifications, but at least we would be rid of him.

Given that pence seems pretty uninvolved in this, im not sure it would oust him too? And I'm not at all crazy about a president pence. But...it has to be at least marginally better. Right?

The only thing we know of so far that looks bad for Pence was ignoring the initial warning letters about Flynn for months. But I don't think that by itself really does anything to him.

tl;dr rumor has it Trump plans to fire Mueller on Friday, thus provoking a delightful year-end constitutional crisis.

This has been debunked and was a rumor from last week. In fact, it is reported Trump has been very "unconcerned" with the Mueller probe according to those in the white house.

We are not living in ordinary times, and it is not enough for us to admire our nations core values from afar. Our countrys history is littered with individuals and factions who have tried to exploit our imperfections, but it is more powerfully marked by those whose vigilance toward a more perfect union has prevailed.

I mean, regardless of whether or not Trump is planning on firing Mueller, the smart thing is to say that he's not planning on firing Mueller. So...in theory he says the same thing either way.

That said, it depends a little bit how much you expect Trump to do the smart thing compared to putting his foot in his mouth. Like...when he fired Comey, he said his reasons where "you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia". The smart thing would have been to stick to the script they had at the time, that he was really angry about how Comey handled Hillary's emails. Trump sometimes just says exactly what he's thinking, even when doing so is dumb.

So...Trump saying he has no plans of firing Muller does mean something. Doesn't guarantee that he's not lying, but he does have loose lips, so it means he's less likely to be firing Muller.

According to Wikipedia he is a Poet, editor, attorney, freelance journalist, professor.

Freelance journalist a.k.a. guy who rushes to make proclamations on Twitter without thoroughly researching his sources. There is a reason he is jumping up and down about this while legitimate news sources like WaPo, MSNBC, etc are relatively silent.

Hes done stuff like this in the past.

Im not saying its impossible but I would be thoroughly shocked if Trump fires him. Its tantamount to admitting guilt at this point.

Under #TaxCutsandJobsAct a married couple earning $100,000 per year ($60,000 from wages, $25,000 from their non-corporate business, and $15,000 in business income) will receive a tax cut of $2,603.50, a reduction of nearly 24 percent.
