I guess Trump really is draining the swamp. However, he's the one who filled it.

(20,816 posts)roller skating to this on weekends at the rink back in high school in the early 80's! It was especially fun as it seemed to fit the natural rhythm of skating.
Someone much more technically savvy than me should out together clips of Drumpf's increasing craziness interspersed with repubs who've jumped the ship so far, using this as the background song.

(25,258 posts)Since it's planned for November and not immediate, my hunch is he's plain old resigning.
I can't recall reading that because our long national nightmare is too much to fully process.
The timing of this announcement though. That's notable.

He'll roll with what he knows. Politically he's already toast. All he has is a hope a future as a lobbyist.

(7,402 posts)Was pictured sitting next to the Ukrainian PM so he has some involvement in this too so this was somewhat expected - at least by me. He probably delivered the news that the military aid was put on hold.

(58,785 posts)advised by counsel to immediately STOP being a criminal threat, in Perry's case to leave office and go to ground at home, in the hope that prosecutors will pass them over to go after others.
(The things we've been learning from all these federal prosecutors over the past 3 years...)
Given the outing of "the three amigos," Perry, Ambassador Volker and EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland, embroiled in the middle of the Trump-Ukraine mess, I'm guessing that's what his resignation is.
