WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY GOING TO IMPEACH HIM ABOUT???????

President Trump's bold actions have shown up the establishment's fecklessness and ineffectiveness.

As Governor Lepetomane said in the movie Blazing Saddles, "We've gotta protect our phoney baloney jobs, gentlemen!"

even if the dums take over, they still have NOTHING to legally impeach

Of course not, but the media and the Dems only want to distract the sheeple to slow down his progress, like they are doing with this Mueller circus.

He is telling the truth and exposing the left. That is why they want to impeach him.

Exactly.

Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), who raised $6.7 million in the first quarter for a Senate bid against incumbent Ted Cruz (R), goosed his fundraising last month by pledging to vote for impeachment. And Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said over the weekend that 70 percent of Democrats want to impeach the president.

Democrats are using impeachment to fire-up their base and fundraising.

Hey! How can you say they’re not “doing their job?” - look at our esteemed Attorney General, for instance, he... oh, wait.

Never mind. You’re right. They DO absolutely suck.

“They don’t seem to grasp that impeaching Trump means they’ll need to get used to saying President Pence.”

The plan is to impeach him as well and install Pelosi. The need to get their affairs in order before they try this.

They don’t have the guns. They just think we’ll roll over. We aren’t our congresspeople.

They know WE DO have them . That’s why they’re trying to confiscate them

Repeating....dems can and will define "high crimes and misdemeanors" as whatever in hell they want and will proceed if they took the house.

They do know however, it is a specious charge which is why they don't want its possibility raised BEFORE the election because it will arouse the voters to rise up and stop this political coup. Our anger would equal and surpass dems motivation.

To your point about no grounds....1/2 of the populace knows that and will be pissed with pitchforks and maybe even guns. A key point maybe the realization from the indies that its wrong.

The pressure we put on our R congresspersons should suffice to keep every republican -- including Trump haters-- to beat back impeachment proceedings. IMHO, not many indies would go for it either, but Indies and the congress people they support could be important.

Given DjT's record I don't see Republicans losing the house. Economy, border, NoKorea....it could just as easily be a red wave....and predict it will.

Rubes walking back his support of the tax cuts today.

Once again, shows how right we all were in electing Trump.

So far, maybe with the exception of Cruz, NONE of the guys who stood on that stage have been consistent in their support of the US since the primaries in 2015.

Gist of article: The White House is gearing up to help it’s own party in the midterms, which is exactly what you’d EXPECT them to do.

The Hill somehow still manages to slip the “I” word into the headline though.

That would be unprecedented participating in an armed uprising. Seems very doubtful given living conditions in the United States at this time.

Their masks and pretense is over. The enemies of the American people are out in the open showing their true intentions. They’re self-serving, power-hungry, amoral slugs. Just look at their net worth when taking office and now. They’re on the take and it’s being exposed.

Not enough resignations yet. I believe the liars are getting out of Dodge because they know their corruption and truths are being investigated and will be exposed. Finally!!! Thank God for President Trump and The Deplorables who are officially wide awake.

From the movie Tora Tora Tora:

“I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

I posted an article over the weekend (from The Hill) that expressly said Democrats are going to focus on impeachment for the midterms to rally the troops.

Things may change before then but that's the basket they're putting their eggs in right now.

That's likely why the President spoke about it at the rally. To fire up his base.

It seems to be about theater and popularity and nothing more. If they can take his base away from him then they can impeach him and nullify his presidency.

He is making a reasonable effort to save Democrats from themselves because of the fury that will reign down upon them if their soft coup becomes a hot war. President Trump obviously prefers a peaceful resolution to the treasonous abuse of power that has been perpetrated against him and his supporters who elected him. Democrats don’t have enough sense to save themselves from themselves. Trump is not going to be removed from office, but his enemies are dropping like flies.
