Is it possible Senate Republicans might approach Trump about resigning or announcing he is not seeking reelection.?

There are some people out there that will tell you the sky is blue, and when you try to talk to them agreeing that the sky is blue, they'll take it to mean you are threatening their perceptions and insist the sky is red with no capacity in that moment to even recognize they had just said the sky was blue.

You're not leaving that conversation agreeing that the sky is blue. The opportunities are to accept that there is a difference and resist their demands you reconcile that difference or perpetually justify yourself while they never acknowledge their failure to do so -- or to agree that the sky is now red.

A wise man might suggest you never have suggested you talk about your agreement that the sky was blue. A wiser man would say that there are times where it might be important to discuss the color of the sky. Choosing to do so involves consequences. If you try to end amicably with a difference, there is plenty of likelihood the other person will attack in return, and not necessarily immediately.

I think it takes some exceptional emotional intelligence to recognize quickly enough that dynamic at play, and to tolerate the challenge to your own reality recognizing the futility of any attempt to get them to agree with you, and to conscientiously choose to resolve the conflict through aggression when indicated.

I also think becoming a career politician is not something someone with exceptional emotional intelligence is likely to choose.

I think the closer we come to confrontation the scarier things will get. I hope to hell things move extremely quickly and if Trump were removed some previously sealed indictment or new grand jury indictment comes swiftly to get him into custody.

Napolitano is going with facts instead of republican propaganda, so I suppose he'll be following Shep Smith out the door soon.

I don't think he cares. He'll be fine w/o this Fox gig if it comes down to it. He's not selling out.

Well the uplifting ruling by the DC court has at this time bitchslapped Graham and the GOP as this is officially a genuine impeachment in word and fact. Graham can can and may call out the Dems and get away with it, but even Mitch's screwed up appointments won't protect the GOP, Graham and Trump from impeachment now. Lindsey, get over it.
