We need to admit that Trump won't resign.
He will impeached, and he's stubborn enough to reject it.
Again, like I said.
The US Marines will be needed.
He will impeached, and he's stubborn enough to reject it.
Again, like I said.

Trump is about to ignite a war between India and Pakistan.
My god.

Eh, I partially agree and partially don't. I agree that he won't resign...he's too egotistical.
But I'm not necessarily sure he WILL be impeached. As long as the GOP controls Congress he probably won't be impeached no matter what, so him ever actually being impeached is probably entirely dependent on whether the Dems can get back Congress in the midterms. That might happen but it's far from certain.
Peep what gets deleted
FINALLY!
Washington Post calls out NYTimes over that bullsh!t article from October 2016 about Trump and Russia:

Opinion | New NYT scoop on Russia raises questions about old NYT story on Russia

It was a week before the 2016 presidential election that the New York Times wrote this headline: “Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia.” The story’s lead cited the curiosity of federal law enforcement on this front: “For much of the summer, the F.B.I. pursued a widening investigation into a Russian role in the American presidential campaign,” read the story by Eric Lichtblau and Steven Lee Myers. “Agents scrutinized advisers close to Donald J. Trump, looked for financial connections with Russian financial figures, searched for those involved in hacking the computers of Democrats, and even chased a lead — which they ultimately came to doubt — about a possible secret channel of email communication from the Trump Organization to a Russian bank.”
Topical stuff. Major media outlets had been following strands of the Trump-Russia story for months. Just before the Lichtblau-Myers collaboration hit the Internet, for example, Slate ran a detailed story asking whether a server of the Trump Organization was communicating with Moscow’s Alfa Bank. Perhaps, concluded the story.
The New York Times piece pooh-poohed the possibility, reporting that agents “ultimately concluded that there could be an innocuous explanation, like a marketing email or spam, for the computer contacts.” Furthermore, the story gave this summary of the investigations: “Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.”
More than a year later, we now know much more about the FBI’s pre-election Russia-Trump activities, courtesy of the New York Times. On Saturday, a three-byline story— Sharon LaFraniere, Mark Mazzetti and Matt Apuzzo — reported that Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, addled by the offerings of a London pub, told an Australian official in May 2016 that “Moscow had thousands of emails that would embarrass [Democratic presidential candidate Hillary] Clinton, apparently stolen in an effort to try to damage her campaign.” A couple of months later, hacked Democratic emails surfaced — prompting the Australians to tell U.S. officials what Papadopoulos had said.
Who is George Papadopoulos?
The combination of the hacking and Papadopoulos’s disclosures, reported the New York Times, helped launch the FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation. The newspaper notes that FBI officials proceeded on a particularly hush-hush basis: “Senior agents did not discuss it at the daily morning briefing, a classified setting where officials normally speak freely about highly sensitive operations.” Another key detail relates to Papadopoulos’s own disclosures — the story reaches no conclusion on whether he told campaign colleagues about his information-gathering. “Whether Mr. Papadopoulos shared that information with anyone else in the campaign is one of many unanswered questions. He was mostly in contact with the campaign over emails,” reads the story.
It is difficult to believe that Papadopoulos told an Australian diplomat that Russia had dirt on Clinton but didn’t mention anything to the campaign he was part of.
Very difficult.
Virtually impossible.

The Papadopoulos revelations demand another look at that October 2016 piece. Did the New York Times overreach? The Erik Wemple Blog asked New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet, who responded in an email: “It is fair to say we know a lot more now about what the government knew about Russian meddling than we did before the election. We would have cast that story differently but it was never meant to give the Trump campaign a clean bill of health. It reflected the FBI’s skepticism, which was made public after the campaign. And which was all we could report at that moment. By the way, the question of whether there was collusion remains the subject of the investigation.”
Indeed, The Washington Post reported more than a month after the election that in a House briefing, a “senior FBI counterintelligence” official had offered a more guarded view of Russia’s intentions in the 2016 presidential election than a CIA official. The two agencies, however, were in agreement that Russia had intervened to assist Trump.
New York Times Deputy Managing Editor Matthew Purdy tells the Erik Wemple Blog that “the heart of that story … pretty much stands up.” Here’s the paragraph to which he refers:
F.B.I. officials declined to comment on Monday. Intelligence officials have said in interviews over the last six weeks that apparent connections between some of Mr. Trump’s aides and Moscow originally compelled them to open a broad investigation into possible links between the Russian government and the Republican presidential candidate. Still, they have said that Mr. Trump himself has not become a target. And no evidence has emerged that would link him or anyone else in his business or political circle directly to Russia’s election operations.
More from Purdy: “The investigation was touched off by evidence of those connections between Russians and the people around Trump and no evidence has yet emerged establishing a direct link between the campaign and Russia’s election meddling. But the story is unfolding.”
That, it is. And the fact that it continues to unfold exposes a problem in that October 2016 story on the FBI, starting with the headline, “Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia.” That formulation sounds pretty definitive and sends a reader into the story with the notion that there’s not much in the way of smoke in this investigation — even though the piece itself acknowledges that the investigation is ongoing. Consider that the initial headline read, “After Lengthy Inquiries, Officials Doubt Trump Has Direct Link to Russia.”
Again, those words may be technically accurate — while at the same time being terribly incomplete. As we learned over the weekend, the FBI kept the Papadopoulos thing very secret. Extremely secret, as the Papadopoulos story makes clear:
With so many strands coming in — about Mr. Papadopoulos, Mr. [Carter] Page, the hackers and more — F.B.I. agents debated how aggressively to investigate the campaign’s Russia ties, according to current and former officials familiar with the debate. Issuing subpoenas or questioning people, for example, could cause the investigation to burst into public view in the final months of a presidential campaign.
It could also tip off the Russian government, which might try to cover its tracks. Some officials argued against taking such disruptive steps, especially since the F.B.I. would not be able to unravel the case before the election.
The point here is that that October 2016 story purported to draw relatively sweeping conclusions about inquiries that were carefully shrouded within the FBI itself. This could well be a case of a news organization not appreciating what it didn’t — or couldn’t — know.
As a postscript, this isn’t the first time that the New York Times has been presented with gripes regarding the October 2016 story. Twitter has been afire with complaints about the story. And back when the New York Times had a public editor, the issue surfaced to great contention. Liz Spayd, who has since been relieved of her duties monitoring the newspaper from the inside, wrote in January 2017 that the New York Times was too timid in reporting what it knew about the goings-on. She cited the Slate story about the server communications and a Mother Jones story previewing the much-talked-about opposition research on Trump-Russia ties — later to be known as the “dossier” — as possible models for how the New York Times could have approached the story. At the time, this blog dissented from Spayd’s conclusion, perhaps prematurely: In March, CNN reported that the FBI had continued looking into the server contacts.

It contradicts because it's fake news and convoluted
Thanks for admitting Papadopoulos engaged in a conspiracy to commit treason.
