Sleep well and easy. The above scenario is plausible and possible but only a risk as described by Senator Ratcliff.

The point is to understand what the Democrats are thinking.

These are not the Democrats of yesteryear. This is a new breed far removed from Democrats of FDR, Truman, Kennedy.

Today’s Democrats are exemplified by the Squad and led by Pelosi and others who know they are going to jail unless they try and invent nonsense to justify in their minds overthrowing the US Government.

Just be aware of what they are thinking. We’ll all be smarter knowing what they have in mind to do.

Boy i’m glad I’m not in the same room as you right now!!

One wrong word could mean a hospital stay

just kidding :)

I get that furious a lot.

But I took a xanax an hour ago so i’m mellow.

YES, I agree.

Are any of our shaky Rs from states that hillary won?

Shouldn’t matter.

They should stand behind Trump, ALL of them.

You’re right

What’s really frightening about it is that logical nature of the scenario seems to give it some actual likelihood to occur.

They have to get rid of him, or they are done for, and they are rapidly running out of time. This man may have found the thread that binds them all.

Depending on what action they take to achieve that necessity, and depending on potential reactions to said action...

God, dangerous times, night Hostage, take care, and I found your post to be very thought provoking.

I was for the first time ever so proud of our Congress critters they stuck together like glue AND they fought like crazy first time I have EVER seen this on our side!!! Far cry from when LYIN RYAN was in the house, yes we lost the house but it looks to me that the loss was an improvement we NOW have fighters backing Trump!! The Senate scares the hell out of me these RINOS need to be PURGED also!!! Graham is RUNNING from having a trial because he is up to his eyeballs in this Ukraine, Russia dossier BS, he and McCain were in on this entire mess!!! These SCUM in the senate better get in line ALL OF THEM!!!

If the Senate assists this attempted framing of an innocent President and votes to remove him, then I support President Trump in dissolving the gov and declaring martial law.

Hear, hear. If the treasonous weasels choose to overturn the 2016 election, the American citizens will overturn the government.

That's not a threat. It's a simple fact, as Congress will have de-legitimized itself.

Should this come to pass, expect widespread civil disorder and non-compliance, as We The People revoke our Consent.

“ Moronic article.”

Correct.

This is no longer just about President Trump. The Democrats have declared war on the entire Republican Party, politicians and voters alike.

The Republican Party won in 2016, and the Democrats seek to abuse the impeachment clause to reverse that decision, disenfranchising 63,000,000 voters in the process.

Republican Senators will be solid as a rock - they have no choice.

Drano for the swamp! It's so corrupt it's the only option that is remotely feasible.

Call in the Marines and arrest the lot of them!

All McConnell has to do is state that, “due to insufficient evidence, there will be no Senate trial.”

If there is a trial, it will be a fuster-cluck and further interfere with Trump’s presidency and reelection. Do we want this crap to drag out up to Election Day? You KNOW the dems will do that!

Let Trump’s legal team indict the traitors AFTER the election. We’ll have more time to stock up sufficient quantities on beer and popcorn. 😁

I file this article in the same file I placed the assurances Trump would never be President.

Of course, the entire House has not yet voted to impeach Trump on the articles announced this last week by the Judiciary committee. They've announced the House vote is scheduled for Friday, 12/20.

That's still a week in which things could still change, as rapidly as this thing is moving along the tracks. But the money is on them voting to impeach.

My guess, is that they are just doing this to appease their liberal base. Throwing them some red meat.

They know it's a long shot to convict Trump in the Senate but these democRATS are desperate right now to stop or slow Trump down. Maybe even damage him in the 2020 election.

Looks more likely that Trump is gaining momentum with this impeachment effort and their plan will backfire on them.

l don't see Trump being convicted but in politics, as in sporting events, one never knows the outcome until its over.

WTP are becoming more aggressive in confronting the thieving, lying elitists. After watching tapes of voting citizens disrupt Quid Pro Joe, Jerry the Wadler, and Bug Eye Schiff, (all members of ‘the other side’), to see what they might do to those supposedly on ‘our side’ is unthinkable.

MAGA!

With one word Trump could have ten million rifles in DC today.

If Trump is convicted in the Senate there will never be another election in the USA.

Wanna bet Trump hasn’t been the only candidate/pol surveilled by Deep State over the years.

Out of 535 members of the House and Senate, I don’t trust any of them.

There are no more rules confining citizens if President Donald John Trump is removed from office.

And PSSST: leftists taste like chicken.
