Turkey: “We are going to cleanse the area of the Kurds.”
Trump, semi-cognizant: “You say you want to clean it?”
Turkey: “Cleanse.”
Trump: “That’s smart. All that sand. More than ever existed before. This could be a big win for us.”
Pompeo & Pence, SuperChristians, stepping over corpses on their way to the plane: “Why not who cares.”

The only way all of today makes sense is if you see it as Sondland, Mulvaney, and Barr all more or less worrying about their own personal danger, and either moving to frame the story in a way that reduces their own risk (DOJ’s statement, Sondland’s testimony) or signaling that they’ll squeal if anyone tries to Rudy them (Mick).

Sort of their last best option, I suppose.

Remember when Trump pitched his Doral resort hosting the next G7 summit? Well guess what was announced a little while ago?

Note that it was reported a while back that Perry would leave by year's end, but the timing seems relevant.

Many more dominoes fell today. Trump resigns by Thanksgiving.

I don't see him resigning. I think he's daring the Senate to toss him out of office. And even if he gets tossed, I think he can still run in 2020 and the electoral map, sadly, still favors his brand of politics.

I bet he just loves watching his twitter notifications number and assumes that the higher the number the more people like him.

They can actually vote on whether or not he can hold public office again as well as vote to remove him from office. One would think that if they saw him as unfit to continue to remain in office, they would consider him unfit to hold that office again. But...

And you're right. He will NEVER resign. He only wins, remember?
