Does he get a sweet job, or does he talk to the NSA. Remember his boss likes torture.
Can confirm there is still a lot of proud Trump fans that are actually calling the resignation “draining the swamp.”

The die-hards are fully committed to tribal epistemology. Truth is words that win one for the team. Things like facts or evidence are only relevant/useful if they’re useful towards that goal. There’s no arguing with them, you’ll be just identified as an enemy to the tribe, they’ll fling some stupid pejorative like “libtard” or “snowflake,” meaninglessly gloat about “liberal tears,” and in their primate minds they’ll imagine they “won.”

Yes, I believe that such a thing is possible, and I honestly don’t know what it could be - but no one is completely untouchable/infallible, not even 45.
Something’s gotta give.

As the DeVos vote proves, it takes three (or two and Pence).

Well, that was last week, and because a (D) voted for her. We will see how it pans out. 50 to 51 is already unprecedented for a cabinet appointment, and again, that was last week. Lot happened this week.

false equivalence, McCarthyism = broad spook hunt vs now = total focus on Trump campaign & administration

Clearly it’s the people pointing out Trump’s Russian connections that are the McCarthyists, not the guy who was literally a protege of McCarthy’s right-hand man.

Like the vacuum salesperson who dumps a cup of dirt on the carpet in order to clean it up?
Drain the swamp. Sure thing.

Congress has a way of internal cherry-picking, both for elimination (very, very rarely) and protection (way too often). There would really have to be a substantial and embarrassingly obvious tie-in to Pence to have him go with Trump, and I don’t see the GOP casting a wide net when they might prefer keeping loose a few agreeable (to the GOP) fish free. Plus, political-logic might indicate that with Trump being the most hated, “enough” of the public might be satisfied with just he being shown the door. (Frankly, I’d like to see them all go, but I don’t see that happening based on what we’ve heard so far.)
And (on a similar tangent) now we find out 45 had conversations with the same Russian “diplomat” as Sessions ahead of the election, one private and one public. I can’t recall if it’s the same person Flynn was recorded speaking with or not, but all this cozying up with the Russians that we’re gradually finding out about sure makes me wonder about the conversations we haven’t found out about.

His tweets really put the red in red herring, comrade.
I wonder what he will say next, not about this?
