NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW MUELLER FIRING RAPID RESPONSE

[turbinetree]

Donald Trump is publicly considering firing special counsel Robert Mueller, the person leading the Department of Justice investigation of possible illegal actions by Donald Trump and members of his presidential campaign, and the efforts to conceal those activities.

This would be a constitutional crisis for our country. It would demand an immediate and unequivocal response to show that we will not tolerate abuse of power from Donald Trump.

Our response in the minutes and hours following a power grab will dictate what happens next, and whether Congress—the only body with the constitutional power and obligation to rein Trump in from his rampage—will do anything to stand up to him.

That's why we're preparing to hold emergency "Nobody is Above the Law" rallies around the country in the event they are needed.

Use the map or search below by ZIP code to find an event near you, or create one if none exists.

Rallies will begin hours after news breaks of a Mueller firing:

If Mueller is fired BEFORE 2 P.M. local time —> events will begin @ 5 P.M. local time
If Mueller is fired AFTER 2 P.M. local time —> events will begin @ noon local time the following day
This is the general plan—please confirm details on your event page, as individual hosts may tailor their events to their local plan.
This is our moment to stand up to protect our democracy. Let's mobilize to show that we won't let Donald Trump become the authoritarian that he aspires to be. The law applies to all of us, and it's essential that it also applies to the most powerful people in our country.

1. I was under the impression that Trump cant fire Mueller?

[RKP5637]

3. Yep, Rod Rosenstein would have to do it, not tRump. n/t

[Buns_of_Fire]

6. Not directly. He'd order Rosenstein to do it.

If Rosenstein refused, he could fire HIM and keep on going down the chain until he found someone who WOULD. (Ref.: "Saturday Night Massacre".)

I don't think it would get that far, though. There are too many people who can't stand him already, and as for Bannon, seeing him swinging from a lamppole would be just fine with them.

[EL34x4]

7. Eventually, the chain would lead to whoever replaces Dana Boente (n/t)

[wryter2000]

12. Maybe Robert Bork is available. N/t

[uponit7771]

21. Yep

[paleotn]

34. Your last sentence...

would be just fine with me as well. Figuratively and literally.

[dem4decades]

35. Better hope Rachel Brand isn't a Trump protector.

[Drunken Irishman]

37. I think if he does that, it's over for Trump...

[mnmoderatedem]

51. I think you're 100% correct

way too messy both procedurally and politically and perception wise to be done. He'd be exposed as the wannabe dictator that he really is, even to the most hard headed in. Even Trump is not stupid enough to try this. Though he may indeed be CRAZY enough.

[RKP5637]

2. If tRump did this, his fate is likely sealed! There would be a huge rebellion against him. I don't

think he's that stupid, but then again, all the lights aren't on. Also, Rod Rosenstein would have to do it, not tRump.

[EL34x4]

8. Huge rebellion by who?

His voters? Those millions who are wondering why he didn't demand Mueller's firing months ago?

GOP Congress? Not of they have to run for re-election and try to raise money from a significant number of their own constituents who think Trump is getting shafted.

[RKP5637]

11. Rosenstein would have to do it. I've never heard of him inclined to dismiss Mueller. n/t

[oberliner]

9. He won't lose a single supporter

There will be no rebellion except from people who are already rebelling.

[RKP5637]

10. Those who are already plus additionally those on the sidelines IMO. n/t

[paleotn]

36. You forget about the sidelines....

Those of us who follow this stuff on an hourly basis are maybe 40% of the populace if that, both sides of the issues. We may go off on crazy tangents at times, but the rule of law is ingrained in the American psyche and firing investigators simply because you don't like what they're investigating and finding tends to instinctively set off alarms in American heads. That's one of the reasons why our democracy has lasted through some very terrible times. Nixon did the same and it destroyed his administration.

[oberliner]

40. You would think the sidelines would've woken up by now

Considering the things Trump has done and said already to this point.

[paleotn]

42. One would expect....

but public attention and opinion is fickle, though. Something this blatant would probably be a turning point.

[uponit7771]

22. His base literally gets another set of news coordinated with Russia

[RKP5637]

25. And with Rupert Murdoch! n/t

[riversedge]

4. I will be at one if needed.

[Not Ruth]

5. Nov 4 is already supposed to be a huge protest day by Antifa, this could really give it support

[angstlessk]

13. Every time I see your name I think 'Ruthless'..

[onlyadream]

26. And every time I see your post, I think there's a bug on my iPad!

[angstlessk]

29. True dat...spent endless hours trying to squash that sucker.

only to find it migrated into my computer!

[onlyadream]

53. So your computer has a bug ;)

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Most Times I See It With the Space In A Different Spot (nt)

[angstlessk]

30. That bug is ubiquitous!

I find several in the dregs of my beer glass!

They often try to get UNDER my glasses to embed themselves into my eyeballs, in fact I think several have, as I see black spots everywhere!

Be happy they are just on MY monitor!

[L. Coyote]

24. Nov 4 is a huge protest day IF YOU ARE A RUSSIAN and trolling American politics.

Beware who's unwitting agent you are! That is a useful idiots day to protest.

[certainot]

14. all rw talk radio stations and the universities that broadcast sports on them are

good places to protest. the RW will scream and media WILL notice. advertisers will flee rw radio and trump will lose his most important attack dog and buzz machine.

all those radio stations have been attacking mueller and trump's critics and attacking hillary and obama.

how many protestors are 300 pro trump assholes on 1500 radio stations attacking them worth?

to ignore those pro trump blowhorns is ridiculous.

Here is the list of universities with the number of Limbaugh stations for each school and the total for each state. The list is incomplete. There are many other schools, and even high schools, used this way by right wing Republican radio. It does not include stations that do not headline Limbaugh. For instance, the University of Wisconsin broadcasts on 5 Limbaugh stations but also on 2 stations that headline Sean Hannity. Some universities may have made changes recently.

28. Thanks for the link to that site - never knew about it.

That's something we can get to work on!

[LiberalLovinLug]

15. K & R

This OP should be pinned! Just in case.

I am very glad that someone, some group has organized this to this degree. I only hope it has more widespread publicity than a few liberal websites.

[ATL Ebony]

47. Follow the link and check out the map -- it's widespread (very heavy on east coast)

Signed up and shared.

[-Steph-]

16. Thank you for sharing!

[Persondem]

17. Nice to see this level of organization already K & R for visibility nt

[WinkyDink]

18. It's going to be heavy downpours in the East soon, until maybe Monday (I'm

rather worried for my house).

[donotpissoffacow]

19. I've just passed the word to everyone in my contacts.

It's crunch time folks. Who's side are you on. How much will you give your country? Have you passed the word outside the safe DU zone?

[barbtries]

39. absolutely.

fb and twitter.

[Mr. Evil]

20. It would be very nice and timely if Rod Rosenstein

was mysteriously unavailable for the next few days. Dolt45's head would explode.

[pangaia]

23. Done..

[Achilleaze]

31. No one is above the law

No one.

[ffr]

32. Fired up. Ready to go!

Let's do this!

[FreepFryer]

33. +1! Thanks for the great memory. (N/T)

[barbtries]

38. i signed up

for the action in Durham NC.

Please all do and share with your communities. If he's dumb enough to do it, the people need to check him. heaven knows the republicans won't do shit.

thank you for sharing!

[Wednesdays]

41. An axiom that dates back to 1215 and the Magna Carta

Who wouldn't support that?

[SCantiGOP]

43. I have my place reserved

Same place I stood on steps of SC Statehouse in May, 1970.

Difference is, I can afford to get arrested this time

[burrowowl]

44. K&R

[Sugarcoated]

45. Damn that fucking corrupt pig

Signed and shared!!!

[edbermac]

46. Monday Night Massacre?

[ancianita]

48. This should be done proactively -- BEFORE Trump fires Mueller -- not in reaction. Public action

beforehand is a better influence on dictatorial obstruction of justice than it is in reaction to such a move.

[PearliePoo2]

49. Sending link out to my e-mail contact list and posted on my Facebook! Thanks!

K&R!

52. "Nixon did the same and it destroyed his administration."

That was a different time in this country. Political discourse had not been so degraded by spit-slinging bloviators like Limbaugh, et al. And, of course, back then the U.S. rethugs hadn't been 100% bought and paid for by the likes of the Mercers and Koch brothers with a Leninist-Nationalist Bannon cheering them on from the sidelines. I fully expect if this happens (and it probably will imminently), the rethugs will remain as supine as they've been throughout this entire disaster. They're all obviously more comfortable with the country being co-opted by Vlad Putin than they are with the idea they may be primaried. We're well and truly fucked. Get used to it. Expect worse.
