not as a pathological liar

He believes the things he says, and twists/invents facts to support whatever fantasy he's engaged that day.

That's a pathological liar. A pathological liar is someone who compulsively tells lies or fabricates information, individual may be aware they are lying, or may believe they are telling the truth - may lie to gain sympathy, boredom, or insecurity.

But if they impeach him through the house and vote to remove him in the Senate - he's got no choice to but vacate or be arrested. Simple as that. He will go out in a huff, and but honestly, there's not going to be too much of a base to rile up, and violence in his name will be less prevalent than it is even now. His followers are not ever going to leave the internet and put that much energy into anything. Reddit might be hell for a few days but that's it.

My worry is what that they don't turn on him or do anything to hold him in check. There's nothing to worry about if they vote to throw him out, he can fuck around and find himself in prison if he wants. But there's a hell of a lot to worry about if they don't decide to do something about him.

I mostly agree with you. But keep in mind that not six months ago, a man shot up a Pizzeria to free the children from Hillary Clinton's secret sex ring.

These are not normal times (Duh...) and we do need to at least consider outside possibilities.

I think an impeachment might have a fairly brief but possibly explosive backlash. My worry is more if something happens to this orange moron. If he has a heart attack and dies for instance the majority of his base are insane conspiracy theorists. That would cause real harm and destabilize the country.

The general consensus amongst those I've spoken to in the States, including some Washington relics, is that Pence is seen as a stabilizer. He's a zealot and a cynic, but he is not a conspiracy theorist a la Bannon.

Basically, when the knives come out for Trump and Bannon, the leading conspirator will certainly be Pence.

That depends on whether or not Pence is swept up in this, too.

Landing you with the equally cynical and contemptible (But!!!) rational actor, Paul Ryan. There is no way in hell he is anywhere near this.

Fortunately, both Ryan and Pence would be lame ducks if they ever got into power.

At the end of the day, if there is any there there, every single Republican who has supported Trump is going down in flames. But again... we know nothing of real substance yet. We will see.

Paul Ryan mirthlessly opens his desk drawer and reaches in. He pauses for a moment to consider; inside sits a loaded pistol and a half-full bottle of Jack Daniels. The bottle wins out every time, but never before the pause...

That's an interesting post. I would say though, that I don't see this as a "doomsday scenario". This would not be a civil war, no nukes would fly. Instead, I would see it more as a "Rodney King Riots on Steroids".
