Just as thieves are certain that everyone is a thief, lying, partisan hacks are certain that everyone is a lying, partisan hack. Careful there, Irked: Your persona is slipping!

Firing Comey just as the Grand Jury subpoenas come out is classic Saturday Night Massacre stuff. People who ignore history really are doomed to repeat it.
Eventually, Trump is going to get on that helicopter and fly off to San Clemente in shame.

Until Comey's firing, I didn't think Impeachment was a real possibility. Now I believe it is inevitable.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

if you’re keeping score, Trump has now fired Sally Yates, U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara and James Comey - all three of whom are potentially most likely definitely sitting on explosive criminal information on Trump. Probably just a coincidence!

Now I believe it is inevitable It must be a religious belief. The reality is I can not find a single Republican/conservative in the House who says they are entertaining the word impeachment. Inevitability is the result of increasing inertia. So far no mass has moved.

Oh, I don't think it will be soon, but the trend is in that direction.

Here is what I really think: Trump feels everything is a personal attack, and he lashes out. Realty is not good for him. He has direct conflicts of interest, a paranoid personality, and is publicly abusive. That act will wear thin. As he becomes a liability to the GOP, they will cut him off - especially if he starts a shooting war. This Russia issue is NOT going away.

Yes Mr Trump is a narcissist so everything is a personal attack unless one prefaces the statements with, you are the greatest Mr Trump. Yes as a narcissist he responds inappropriately. Yes he has financial conflicts of interest. Yes his publicly abusive behavior is a result of his narcissism.
These are all personality issues. Even his supporters don;t like him personally.
As long as the hard right conservative agenda is being implemented, he will not be a liability. Unless he has multiple personalities, he will continue to implement the advice he receives from Bannon and VP Pence i.e. the conservative agenda to reduce the federal government to rubble.
Shooting wars .... I do not know how to respond to that. Suppose he "nukes" NK nuclear facilities and neither China nor NK respond? Suppose he is photographed pointing from a tank turret entering Raqqa? and of course there is real blowback. They could always spin it as caused by Obama policies.
The Russia Issue is not going away. I am not sure any of these clowns involved would implicate Mr Trump if collusion could be proven. After all ... pardon. Of course there may be a thread worth investigating. Gen Flynn apparently told the Russians not to worry, the Trump administration had their back. Could he have said that on his own? or was he directed to say that? Gen Flynn is a loony tune so there is no telling.
Not including family, has anyone noticed the number of miscreants Mr Trump has advisors?

It was almost 10 months between the Saturday Night Massacre and Nixon's resignation. The obvious problem is that Trump is far less rational than Richard Nixon ever was, and he has a slew of Republicans in Congress that will turn a blind eye to anything he does, right up to the point it looks like they are going to lose reelection.
2018 elections are 18 months away, but of course their low poll numbers would be apparent well before that.
