An impeachment process against President Trump now seems inescapable.

The odor of personal corruption on the president’s part — perhaps affecting his foreign policy — grew stronger. Then the events of the past several days — the president’s precipitous decision to pull American troops out of Syria, Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis’s abrupt resignation, the swoon in the stock market, the pointless shutdown of parts of the government — instilled a new sense of alarm among many Republicans.

If they TRY to impeach him they will lose the 2020 election in such a landslide they won’t know what hit them!!! The American people ALWAYS back the underdog the MOST Americans are a touchy, feely bunch!!! I hate it that they are HOWEVER under the circumstances of impeachment they will feel sorry for Trump and rally around him!!! I DARE them to do it, it will be political suicide for ALL OF THEM!!!

“The Inevitability of Us Donning Yellow Vests And Making Paris Look Like A Kids Birthday Party If They Impeach Trump” :)
That’s right. And if treasonous senate RINOs provide the margin, there will be holy hell to pay. Politicians will be strung up. Seriously.
TIME FOR THE YELLOW VEST IN THE US!
