He may be duly elected, but he is not above the law.
If he is guilty of (for example) treason, tax evasion, money laundering or fraud Pence could step in, not a big deal. He works for the people of the United States, he is accountable and the constitution has the procedure.
So far there is no sound reason to believe Trump is guilty of any of those thing, blatant, baseless lies by his enemies to the contrary, notwithstanding. You cannot even credibly describe a specific instance when it clearly appears that he has broken the law.
Also, shouldn't those laws apply to Hillary Clinton, too? She should also be held accountable for her crimes to the fullest extent of the law, agreed? And also DOJ and FBI leaders who have engaged in leaking classified information and corrupting the justice process. Agreed?
Thanks so much for the info. re. Hamilton68 - I was not familiar with it previously. It will take a little studying to put it to best use, but it appears to be very helpful in ferreting out these inhabitants of that infamous troll factory in St. Petersburg.
Hamilton68 is bogus. It's a neocon propaganda operation.
We have British people who post here, and Swedes and people from many nations. Why not Russians? Is it unfair for them to post because they're just so darned convincing that the rest of us will just blindly follow whatever they tell us to?
I always wondered about some of the "posters" on various forum who have 30,000 or 50,000 posts. All hours of every day and every night on the same forums. Russian bots have been detected and exposed as going on threads and demanding proof, sources, & evidence on anything factual, to muddy the waters of reality. It's one of their most effective tactics and putin/Moscow couldn't be more pleased.
If they post a lot and don’t agree with you they must be a bot. Gotcha.

I'm more concerned about the paid Leftists here that push their #fakenews consistently all day by creating threads that have extremely misleading or downright false titles then comment on the subject matter as if they didn't even read their own source.
That happens from both sides of the argument, not just one side.

It sure helps validate an argument, though. I'm more inclined to give weight to a position if it's backed up by a credible source - even better if it's two. That was the baseline employed by Woodward and Bernstein during the Watergate investigation - and yes, I know CD isn't a journalistic website, but anyone who wants their position to be taken seriously should consider presenting credible sources of information to back up that position.

Yes, indeed.

You're confusing fact and opinion.

That is even true when when people's opinions do not conform to the Democrat left's extremely vile and anti-social "Political correctness" thought and speech codes.
Another helpful hint in having your position taken seriously is to avoid loaded words and phrases that detract from the argument.

Also, it is disturbing that some people are so dependent on others to think for them that they cannot even conceive of someone thinking for themselves, apart from third party sources to direct them. Just saying.
What's disturbing is that you're still confusing fact and opinion.
