America is bombarded every day with more revelations, more "serious" accusations, etc.
Why the inaction in congress?
Dont mean to be rude, but surely you understand that the Dems bringing impeachment charges would be meaningless without the votes.

GOP has control of both houses, there is nothing the Democrats can do. The GOP are simply pretending none of this is real in order to keep TRump in position. Trump is the useful idiot of the Right. In a few Years they will blame everything on him and claim that the tax cuts, the all the problems were created by him. Trump is the fall guy , the bag holder, the putz.

If it looks like the cost it too high they will dump him in a nanosecond.

I guess one insanity deserves another. The way the web works we all knew it was only a matter of time before the levels of absurd would be pushed beyond reason. It's all about the shock factor and the click bait it generates. It got you there :P

I think there are several reasons why this will not happen overnight. First of all, the GOP has to figure out how to do it without losing the base Trump has. Even if there were videos of Trump talking to Putin about overthrowing America, as we can see by the hard headed Trumpees on here, his base would yell "FAKE VIDEO !". His base literally would stick with him if he shot someone on 5th Avenue.

Also, it takes time to build a case, which is what the investigations are doing right now. As much as we, on the other side, would love to see him gone today, we have to be patient. Lucky for us, Donald Trump is doing a lot to speed the process along, his lack of self control in actions and speech are helping us more than anything we could do.

It will happen, or he will be forced to resign, it just will take a little time to get all the ducks in a row.

Ummm....What?

Please tell me he didn't say that.

The guy really is flat out insane.

I, as a Democratic Liberal, do NOT want the Donald to be removed from office until his legitimate term expires and he is not reelected. I really want our government process to continue to work. That is far more important then early removal of this strange personality from the Presidency.


I believe our Republic can withstand his assaults on our Government, reality in general and the very concept of reason. WE are a resilient Nation. We will survive.

But again, these people have gotten some things right lately.....on with the show!

https://patribotics.blog/2017/06/29/...reasonweasels/

Highlights:
and the list continues, covering Nunes, Flynn, Manafort, Bannon, Priebus, and more.

Why the big release suddenly? Its claimed on their twitter feed that the intelligence agencies are about to act, and don't care about any of this being secret anymore.

And that is the left wing version of infowars, although with a lot more actually true stuff released prior to this. Even given that, I find it difficult to believe. Odds? 1 in 20. Which is still a better news source then infowars.
It would have been nice if any of these sources and/or cites used verbiage that the intelligence community actually uses...

Here's my assessment: Source and information are what we called Echo-5. For those who don't know what that means, it means the source has zero credibility and the information is almost certainly false.

We now return you to the media-created but otherwise uninformed conversation...

And in my entire career, I never, ever read an IR whose subject line started with the word "WOW!"

Just sayin'...

A lot of the infowars posts start with that. Thus when comparing the two I felt it was appropriate.
