They arent plotting to overthrow him. Good golly you people.

Congress is talking about the very simple impeachment for violation of the emolument clause, or via the unfit for job section. Both are legal.

That is not treason, thats part of their job

Seriously, how many times does that have to be explained to you?

When Nixon was impeached, was that treason too? Sheesh.

He is an establishment guy unlike Trump.

Either way not happening.



The big prize in 2016 was the Supreme Court.


Ginsberg is 84 and with her on the way out, talk is a couple others may considering retirement this spring.


Even if Trump were removed from office, Pence would continue to appoint conservative originalists to the court.


And here's the kicker...if Pence took over today, he would be eligible to run for two more full terms.


By the end of Pence's hypothetical second full term in 2028, Sotomayor would be 74 and Kagan would be 69.


Pence is only 57 and politically palatable to most of the country.


Democrats should be careful what they wish for.


They might just get it for the next 11+ years.

I wonder what you will do when Trump wins a second term in 2020?

The alternative is to be more like Venezuela.

Come on, be serious about it because it looks like Trump will be running against Maxine Waters and your favorite Fauxihontas. Actually I will donate to the Maxine Waters for President campaign and proudly display her bumper sticker.

LOL according to that article/blog-
“It’s somewhere in the big middle ground between a 1 per cent [chance] and 50”, he said. “It’s some per cent. It’s not nothing."
"William Kristol, who worked as chief of staff to Vice President Dan Quayle under the presidency of George H W Bush, told the magazine there was a reasonable change of Mr Trump being removed."
What a joke, a poorly written article/blog based on something that even the proponents say could be only 1% probability

He's not going to be impeached. He's not very effective but Congress can work around him. Meanwhile he's funny to watch.

They have no reason to remove Trump from office, and the only means would be impeachment, and the bar for removal is very high. Ain't gonna happen, pal.

And if they didn't remove Obama, when there actually was cause for impeachment, there is zero chance that Trump will be impeached, because there is zero cause.

Dream on, dude. Suck it up, buttercup. We put up with Obama for eight long and painful years. You can certainly endure the prosperity and freedom that the Trump presidency is bringing you.

But if you really hate Liberty and Freedom ...there's always Russia. Or maybe you'd like Venezuela?

What is it you have against our Constitution and our Republic?

"Members of US Congress" = Maxine Waters and other idiots like her (Nancy Pelosi); i.e., Democrats, the anti-American Party.
