Current Events > Rep on Capital Hill states rumor mill that Mueller to be fired next Friday.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Congresswoman Jackie Speier claims that on December 22nd as DC clears out for the Holiday, Rumors have been circulating that Trump will be firing Robert Mueller. If this happens, this proves our democracy and freedom has proven to become fabrication. The Republican-run Senate and House are not protecting Mueller anymore and in turn, are not protecting the people. Despite having a Constitution, Trump is single-handedly loopholing around everything to turn our country into a monarchy and we cannot stand for this. If this occurs before Mueller completes the investigation, the biggest march on Capital Hill has got to happen. Justice has NEVER been so fucking blind.

I really hope this is false. You know even if people protest that fuck all will happen anyway. Nobody wants to risk going to jail because things arent bad enough.

Things will get increasingly super shitty for a while then therell be a revolt eventually. Thats the nature of government.

This is pretty much means Trump's time is over in the White House.

The video is valid enough. The Congresswoman stated it there in her own words.

Trump's been kissing up to Congress. He just went golfing with Lindsey Graham and had Graham's position changed.

He's a fucking manipulator.

Yeah, she said she believes. I mean, everyone knows that Trump would give his toupee to see that investigation shut down. But, her belief is not a credible source.

Adam Schiff is saying it too. Trump's been unpunished for all the bullshit he should have been charged with and removed for office over. Comey's firing should have lead to greater things. I feel he's invincible at this point, which threatens everything in democracy.

The problem is that nobody noticed until Trump. The last president who gave a shit about the people was Jimmy Carter.

All gave up their business ties. Trump did not. Trump is passing a tax bill that will send the economy into a great depression. He is withdrawing scientific words from the CDC. He's spoken at hate group rallies and voiced greatness from the white supremacy side. He's made us a national joke. Word just got out he's pushing torture at Guantanamo Bay. They are holding a citizen in custody refusing to give them a lawyer. His EPA is rolling back protections for the environment and protections for endangered animals. His education secretary is only focused on religious institutions. He put a man who believes in conversion therapy up as his VP.

Unlike other presidents, he's a tyrant and we all know it.

You know. I wouldn't mind a few nutcases having a little fun right about now.

I honestly hope Trump does do this, because I am 100% confident it won't do Trump any good and will just basically be him committing suicide.

Trump doesn't appear to have really done anything all this time to gain any supporters, and he's surely slowly been losing them here and there, and he won the election by losing the popular vote already. Complacency and hope are all that is within the public that allows him to continue to think he's the god emperor of this country, but I'm pretty sure both have their limits.

Worst case scenario I'd see coming out of it, is an almost-civil war breaking out due to his most rabid nazi supporters, but they'd be well outnumbered and vastly out-gunned. He'll lose the support of the Republican party wholesale as well the moment it becomes apparent they can no longer dance around the issue to try and keep the general masses pacified while winking and nodding to fringe extremists and nazis; there's less of the latter, so if it came down to it where they HAVE to choose, for self preservation, they'd choose the former. Otherwise Trump would become an effigy for the whole party and irreparably destroy it.

That's what I anticipate happening, hypothetically, anyway. I really doubt the country would just collectively shrug its shoulders, shake its fist and go along with anything Trump does, just "Oh well, what a shitty president!"

There's way too much crazed extremism, militant people and deep anger boiling in the populace. A lot of people want to fight.

Except he's been going progressively worse every day and we're all getting conditioned to it, we're like a frog in boiling water.

Is that so? Seems like people as a whole are slowly getting more and more sick of him.

Like I said, he's not GAINING any supporters, is he? Like since election, has he done anything, to win any new citizens over?

But surely, he's lost supporters since then. I mean that's kind of natural for any president...so I mean, I think he's kinda on a clock, and it's not on his side.

Even if Trump was removed from office, Paul Ryan or Mike Pence would only be worse choices. They aren't idiots, just underhanded evil bastards.

If he fires Mueller then I feel like the House will need to move to impeach if they want any chance at re-election. Although rumor is Paul Ryan is retiring after 2018 anyway, who knows what kind of monkey wrench that throws into this whole mess.

My bet is Paul expects trump and pence gone by then so he'd move up to potus.

Idk what'e worse, Trump firing Mueller or listening to people walk about pretend riots in the streets if he does. ugh.

The people who push for and think there will be violence. They servery underestimate how little fucks the average American cares about obvious corruption we're all too busy not trying to starve to death, digging our noses in our phones, debating things like Marvel movies, Star Wars franchise, wither Big Bang Theory, Supernatural, South Park and Game of Thrones have gone on too long and whose going to be killed next on the corpse that is The Walking Dead franchise.

The most you'll get are online rants about how shit Trump is and no actions, corporations have pacified the american people in ways dictatorships and third world countries wish they could, only Russia,China and North Korea have us beat in weak minded citizens..

I completely agree. Too many people have this fantasy about being being apart of some historic event such as a riot or overthrow of government without understanding how these scenarios play out in the real world. If they think a riot willl remove Trump from office through representative pressure they're delusional and have no idea how American politics works. Let alone what the revolt they salivate about entail.

There is no guarantee that will happen. And if Trump fires Mueller absolutely nothing will happen. Party before country.

I know. No branch of government is protecting us. We seriously are becoming a monarchy and no one is doing shit about it. We can't until we kick the Republic***s out of office. They still have a year. This is going to be painful.

So one rumor from one congressperson? It must be true.

Honestly, I get the impression that people who dislike Trump will believe anything in order for him to be impeached and in most instances, its something that's not grounds for impeachment.

First off, what bases for impeachment is there for firing Mueller?

At least two. Adam Schiff showing concern isn't "just one congress person."

Given his position, I would be inclined to believe there's reason to worry.

Are you intentionally leaving out the current President?

There's only 2 ways Trump could fire Mueller IIRC. He either would need to order a repeal of the regulations set in 99, which would be met with heavy legal pushback. Or he would need to order Rosenstein to do so, who spoke a few days ago about how there's no just cause to do so and gave no inclination he would push for that. Which would force Trump on the Nixon path of dismissing people till he finds someone to do his bidding

He'll probably do that or Rosenstein will save his job and do what Trump demands of him

I don't see a problem with Mueller being let go. His investigation is an embarrassment and a waste of taxpayer money. Besides, this ordeal is just ruining the reputation of the FBI.

Hilarious, as a passive outside observer to the U.S. it's pretty clear that Trump has damaged the Republican reputation so badly that they possibly won't get back into office for 2 or more terms. How someone can imagine a Trump 2020 victory as an encumbent who lost the popular vote whilst the republicans lose Alabama is insane to me, you are living in a false reality.
