Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
I know I'm a naif about this stuff, but I still don't understand why Trump can even consider firing Mueller. If it was determined that I, for example, was suspected of embezzling from the store I manage, I would never be allowed to fire the person hired to investigate me. So why is this even a possibility?

He wants to fire Mueller because he wants to avoid getting impeached and/or arrested.
Spoiler: He can't avoid getting impeached and/or arrested.

Also, does anyone old enough during Watergate remember if there was the same kind of rats leaving a sinking ship mass exodus at the White House that we're seeing now?

There was the Saturday Night Massacre, but I think that was only like 3 or 4 people one time?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I know I'm a naif about this stuff, but I still don't understand why Trump can even consider firing Mueller.
The only reason he can consider it is, he thinks he was elected dictator king and can do anything he wants. Probably he still thinks that firing Mueller will end the investigation, just like he thought firing Comey would end the investigation.

I understand *why* he wants to fire Mueller, I'm just not clear on how it can be allowed that he gets to do that. From all the "take to the streets" I've read, if he does fire him, people seem to think this is an actual possibility. But is it?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I want insulation. And reliable plumbing and central heat/air, and fast Internet, and an electrical system that wasn't pieced together by gentlemen of varying competency.
I do not have those things now! And I can't have a goat or bees. It's the worst.

Speaking of things I want in my house, we were all set to have our driveway expanded and discovered that the gas line coming into our house, rather than being 3' deep as it should be, is only buried about 6" below the surface! So now we have a beautiful expanded unpaved driveway while we wait for ConEd to come lay a new gas line at the correct depth so we won't cause a gas leak by parking on top of it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going to say that not exploding is the right idea, Jess.

Feeling pretty good about having most of those things, since our electric is good now, after a $$$$ total re-wire last year (thanks, mom). And I don't think I need central air.
