So we have a GOPer who wants to ignore the will of the people? Someone needs to make sure his constituents know about this.

That's right and we need to get rid of McConJob as the GOPe Senate Leader. What a joke he really is and he has been a Never Trumper from day one.

McConJob does not want to be a Majority Leader of the Senate since he did not even step in when the Pubbie Idiots came up with 7 tax rates? These guys in the Senate are not serious about giving us tax cuts.

I believe the rumors here in IL was that he’s a homo.

I’m beyond disgusted at this sh** show the mc Connell frauds cooked up. If people in Alabama forget what the turtle did in Mississippi, we need a new plan.

And to think this pr*** was standing there with our President trying to sound like he finally bought a clue. Damn him, and take mc Cain and Romney with him.

> Like Ted Kennedy was expelled? Like Robert Menendez has been expelled? <

Well, to be fair, they did expel KKK Exalted Cyclops Robert Byrd.

Oh, wait a minute. Byrd wasn’t expelled, even though letters exist where he praised the Klan, and insulted blacks. No expulsion. To the contrary, the Senate made Byrd President pro tempore.

Wow, this sure is confusing. What could Kennedy, Menendez, and Byrd all have in common that would make them immune from expulsion?

GOP says guilty until proven innocent.

This whole thing is a trial balloon.

If it works, then it will have been demonstrated as an easier way than impeachment to go for the much fatter prize: Having Trump removed from office, and having Madame President put in his place.

You’re post made me think a really disturbing thought. What if these jerks had this planned, which clearly they did, and knew the Weinstein story was coming from lil Ronan and damn, the conga line keeps growing and it’s pretty much been taken at face value with all the accusations flying around Hollywood.

Makes it look more palatable that dummies just forget the innocent until proven guilty aspect of our government.

I don’t know what’s happening but forces are really trying to burn this country down. We are a hot mess.

Put the crack pipe down. Your hysterical scenario is 100% impossible...

I’m not the one hitting the pipe. The people screaming at the sky, and willing to try ANYTHING, no matter how ludicrous, are the ones, who need to put it down.

As bizarre and far-fetched as it is, I still, nevertheless, wouldn’t put it past those folks to try it.

You know, I was raised in Vermont. I think it was Bernie Sanders that grabbed my butt in an elevator one time when I was 15. Yeah, no.

Please explain the Constitutional process whereby an impeached President Trump is replaced by Hillary Clinton as President.

Get a grip. How exactly would "those folks try it" given GOP control of both Houses, and given the refusal of Deplorables to tolerate such a coup?

For your scenario to occur, not only would the entire Federal Legislature and Judiciary have to be complicit, but every Deplorable would have to lay down for it. Would you allow such a thing to occur? If not, then multiply your response by about 60 million.

C'mon, man! There's no other word but hysterical for what you're suggesting. It's absolutely absurd on its face, and only if most Deplorables were cowards could it occur. Thus, it won't occur, because there simply aren't enough cowards in the Basket of Deplorables.

Let's restrict ourselves to planning for scenarios which are actually plausible...

I said TRY.

I didn’t say SUCCEED. :P

A perfect example of why the Republicans are universally referred to as THE STUPID PARTY.

There is no way they’d expel someone over allegations with no charges, much less a conviction. They’d never get two-thirds to vote for that.

I hope they do because then there would be a mass uprising against the GOP. That’s the only way the swamp will get emptied.
