DesetDrifter, in those two posts you painted a worst scenario very well and that understanding and concern should be front and foremost in everyone's mind.
On the firing Mueller point. Trump would also have to fire Rosenstein. The political backlash would be significant, and the investigation would continue, so i'm leaning that may not happen.
I'm with you on that Trump is such a reckless, power-driven fuck that he could do anything. In that case an attack on North Korea, an attack on Iran, or even a false flag in the U.S.A. Any or more of all three could be seen, i think, as roughly equally likely, or not.
These worries have been about since the day he was elected. Bannon is gone. Flynn is wrapped up. Those are pluses. And still the adults around Trump could save us all from the worst path.
