Sessions basically says Flynn was Obama’s fault. When will this nightmare/embarrassment of a presidency be over?
Let’s promise him a YUGE pile of money to resign and get Mexico to pay for it.
And then afterwards, Mexico can say “Resignation was not as advertised. We will not pay for it now. Sad!”
How about we turn up the heat? He gets it if he leaves within a year. If he doesn’t, all the money goes to the Clinton Foundation.
This may be a little more difficult than I imagined. (Who knew it would be so hard?:D)
I went to the Gofund me site and there are like a billion Trump things.
Most seemed to be asking for money for marches and protests, though I have to admit I didn’t dig too deeply. I think we have to have a more thought out strategy.
We need publicity to get through all the noise. If people are going to donate, it has to be the first thing on the page. I can only think of one sure fire way to get the national (international) publicity needed. One of the millionaire dopers is gonna have to come through bigly. I think if we start off with a nice $1,000,000, that should start the ball rolling.
The answer is not to pay off Trump (which won’t work) but to humiliate him in the ways that he cannot stand, e.g. to impugn his wealth and hand size, diminish his “ratings”, and tarnish his brand. But the problem is larger than that; even if Trump goes, both the political machine and the “tear down the system” mentality of the base that elected him still exists and needs to be dealth with, preferable by fragmenting them and encouraging them to feed upon one another. Unfortunately, that is the field of behavior where the Democrats have traditionally had the lead.

Two things;
First, I have no reason to believe that paying off Trump won’t work.
After all isn’t that his recent business model? Selling out his name.
I think that if the guy you worship sells out completely, maybe you’ll rethink. It has occasionally worked with sports figures.
Second, I don’t know how Trump could get anymore bad publicity than he already does. The guy is a laughingstock. Yet his supporters dig their heels in. Something new has to be tried.
Also thirdly, :), I plan on you, Stranger On A Train, writing the blurb for the Gofundme.
If you mean that literally, I am totally on board with that.
Trump’s 100 Days accomplishments:
- Supreme Court Justice
- Saved Obamacare
- Kept government funded for 7 days
Did I miss anything?
You did.
- Supreme Court Justice*
*Stolen from President Barack Obama, nominated by Charles and David Koch.
Didn’t grab Angela Merkel’s herrmuffin.
Wouldn’t it be something if one day next week, they all just disappeared, hijacked Air Force One to Paraguay?
Note left on the desk in the Oval Office: “Hey, Mike, here are the keys to the nuclear codes. Check the refrigerator full of Cokes behind my desk. Don’t forget to feed Melania.”
He probably stands to profit way more from using his Presidential office to influence his business ventures than we could dream of raising on gofundme. He probably already has, in just a few months. And he’s got years left to keep raking in cash and stacking the deck in his favor. He’s running the biggest con game of all time.
- Hired a Russian agent as his National Security Advisor.
- Hired a Russian agent as his Secretary of State.
Proud wearer of Neo-nazi group medals, and likely not a doctor, national security aide Sebastian Gorka could be circling the drain.

And speaking of Neo-Nazis…
Remember how Trump came up supporting right winger Le Pen for the election in France?
As usual, Trump does have a blind spot regarding fascists.
God, I hope they kick Gorka and Bannon both to the curb with all speed. If Trump can just be an inept Republican kleptocrat, I would at least be able to sleep at night. It’s the white supremacy that really terrifies me.
Hiding a woody?
That was my first thought, and then I dismissed it for obvious reasons.
