It is legally possible, for Congress. I’m just curious as to how Trump is going to try and do it. I was going to offer to make a bet once I understood what the parameters were. For example, one answer might be: He is going to petition the House to impeach him and then have him removed from office. But maybe she had something else in mind. Which is why I asked.
I didn’t have anything in mind as to the how of it. I didn’t say he would **do **it, but that he would **try **to do it. He probably thinks that since he picked Gorsuch (i.e., “hired” him), he can also fire him.
BTW, thanks for all those great responses. The Trump’s Magic Helmet might be this year’s Christmas sensation, in the tradition of the Singing Bass, and the Singing Santa. Be aware that Wal-Mart puts its Christmas stuff out right after Halloween, so get busy.
It would be amusing to come up with a list of the ways he might try. Euphohnius Polemic’s is my fave so far: “By whining and crying ‘no faaair!’ and pressing his tiny little orange fingers against his twitter device.”
:eek: :smack:

Nobody is that fucking stupid! Fake news! Ivanka would stop him! Jared! Jesus!

](Trump will live-tweet during testimony of former FBI Director James Comey: report - Raw Story)Oh yeah, I’m sure this is a genius-level idea and that it’s going to go well for him. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Awise stowm!
Spicew bwow!
Conway bwow!
Fake!
Cwooked!
Sad!
COVFEFE!!
The man exudes a quiet dignity that is noteworthy and honorable. The dipshit.
(Trump, of course, not talking about Steve MB there.)
I think I’ve figured out why he wears those enormous suits.
You callin’ the President of these United States a “nobody”?

This will actually work out well for him, with his loyalists. Comey will say that Trump was under investigation, Trump will tweet “Comey just said I wasn’t under investigation.” Comey will say that he was asked to drop the investigation, that he refused, and that he was fired. Trump will tweet “Comey just said I didn’t pressure him.” This is how he works, what he does. The people who voted for him will not be exposed to the actual testimony, because their news sources won’t show it. They will just get the tweets.
So the President of the United States is going to live-tweet a Senate hearing, like it’s the finale of The Bachelor. I don’t know if this is hilarious or horrifying. If I knew everything was going to come out all right in the end, I’d vote for hilarious.
I imagine ancient Romans thought it was hilarious when Caligula appointed his horse to the Senate.
Wait… Robert Costa from the Post said this? Any chance he’s making it happen, because now Trump HAS to live-tweet.
It’s like a double-dog dare (and Donald may not remember he didn’t promise to…).
Very well done. Bravo!
Wow! Trump went to the ME and told them they can’t fund radical ideology anymore, and look what happened! Why didn’t Obama think of that?!
The President of the United States will be sitting in his man cave in the middle of a work day watching television instead of doing his job.
I’m simultaneously horrified and entertained in anticipation.
It’s a confusing state of being.
