Would he have to wait for charges or could he ask Pence for an early pardon?

He'd do it before charges with pardon deal in place is my guess

I wonder if they'd pull out early dementia as an excuse

Quite possible. I've long speculated that.

Hard to imagine him belittling himself with dementia, but he might have to get back to his businesses - maybe his kids won't be capable.

Yeah, it's pretty clear early stage. His father had Alzheimer's, he doctor stated he'd refuse to test him in WH, like he knows the answer.

If true, will be interesting to see if he admits to it. Early stage is not always static, lucidity can come and go. IMO it's assholentia.

Do you believe he has the common sense or decency to do so?

If he knows a worse fait awaits

By resigning he can save face by saying the job is boring or some such drivel.

My guess is that he will blame the Republicans for not working with him.

Washington was more broken than he thought and he alone can not fix it.

Good one, send it to him to use. And add that his own party won't work with him. And Washington is more broken than he thought.

And what are the other options??

Fighting it?

Starting a war for a diversion. That's my biggest fear.

Mine too.

Mine as well. I'm worried he's going to go after N Korea. Massive military buildup, Tillersons recent words...scary stuff. Esp on W coast!

I live 15 minutes from MacDill AFB/Central Command. More jets flying maneuvers than ever. That's scary too.

I don't think he has enough clout to pull off any kind of false flag

Everyone said that about Dub-ya, too.
