    Tradition in the US is to resign. Last time we had a lot like this, Nixon wound up resigning because he didn’t think he had the support in Congress to avoid conviction when impeached.

      oh boy do I have a tower in paris to sell you. people are going to have to learn how to say no if they want to get rid of trump lol.

      the whole point of these orders are to identify the people who have a back bone and get rid of them. following tradition is literally the worst stance to take in this situation.

      And this part, quite literally is how we got Fox news…

      Roger Ailes had said “if we had a friendly media then Nixon would never have had to resign.” Now they have their fox, the propaganda flows and keeps Republicans from ever having to face consequences. The lies cover their actions and they never face proper pressure. :(
