The Inevitability of Impeachment
Even Republicans may be deciding that the president has become too great a burden to their party or too great a danger to the country.

An impeachment process against President Trump now seems inescapable. Unless the president resigns, the pressure by the public on the Democratic leaders to begin an impeachment process next year will only increase. Too many people think in terms of stasis: How things are is how they will remain. They don’t take into account that opinion moves with events.
Whether or not there’s already enough evidence to impeach Mr. Trump — I think there is — we will learn what the special counsel, Robert Mueller, has found, even if his investigation is cut short. A significant number of Republican candidates didn’t want to run with Mr. Trump in the midterms, and the results of those elections didn’t exactly strengthen his standing within his party. His political status, weak for some time, is now hurtling downhill.
The midterms were followed by new revelations in criminal investigations of once-close advisers as well as new scandals involving Mr. Trump himself. 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.

There is now a fourth branch of government, a very dangerous one.
Obama weaponized government agencies to oppose us.
Not good.
We need to let our Reps know exactly what we are thinking in very clear terms.
We are at a tipping point.
These leftist idiots should be damn' careful of what they wish for, they may just get it.
Another trip to the ammo store for me tomorrow ....
Try it and feel the world burn. It will. Promise.
Better yet. Go make somebody a sammich.
Impeachment would be a lame attempt to distract from the military tribunals, executions.
We gave been on a “war footing” since 911. Military justice can be meeted out to the traitors and accomplices in the fake media.
These people are truly insane driven by their seething hatred... It consumes mibd, body and soul... I know many liberals in the tristate that have truly gone off the deep end...
Impeachment? Maybe.
Conviction and removal (which is what most people mean when they say impeach him)? No. I’m sure many Senate Republicans, maybe more than enough to make 67, would like to. But they won’t, cause they’re scared of us (the base).
People foolishly think that it can't happen here.
Not only are they going to impeach Trump but the demonrats are testing the waters on running Mooseshell for president. Listen to them and they’ll tell you shes now the most popular woman in the US. They’ll also tell you that Mooseshelland Obummer are the most admired couple in the US. Fancy that
The demonrats must be really desperate for likely candidates in 2020 if the are trying to force that bullpuckey down peoples throats
Evidence? We don’t need no stinkin’ evidence!
She has a bad case of TDS.

I predict that if the left doesn’t give up their coup attempt there will be a change of government and they will not like it.
Sorry Lizzie, we do not need to impeach Zero to put him in jail.
No kidding. You'd think that they actually believe this crap as much as the spew it. But when you listen to the propagandistic MSM as some level of truth, it's not surprising.
Not to mention the economic well-being of racial minorities has improved greatly under Trump’s administration. Let the lefties condemn THAT and see what their future holds.
The left would welcome it. They would much rather be ruled by Putin or Xi, they would be much better than the "orange man". I could see them when confronted by their real enemy a foreign nation attacking, they would act like Sadam Hussiens troops when confronted by Americas military, they just laid down and gave up their arms.
Indeed we are at the point of no return and our own worst enemy is us. It is our failure to motivate our own neighbors in agreement and to urge them to support America before we lose it forever.
Meanwhile we have allowed an entire generation of government controlled school teachers build a curriculum and hammer a political rhetoric of "America Bad". Now, each one of those hateful political tools are working on their captive classrooms five days a week. One teacher = 30+ kids; how many can they sway?
I'd bet that a poll of 16 year olds would prove that a strong majority thinks America is evil and needs to be done away with.
They will be voting in 2020.
