I’m wondering if these bimbo stories are true, and although there is nothing illegal there it sure could blow up a marriage. Is Trump maybe being compromised by a threat to turn up the heat? I hope not.

You might be right. I was wrong about the Senate vote. If I’m reading correctly, Jeff Flake also voted No.

Impeachment is a political process. They could impeach and remove Trump on a ‘russian collusion’ hoax. When the Dems take the house, they will.

No way Dems set up 2020 with attempting to impeach a duly elected President.

The Dems are NOT going to impeach a duly elected President. They have ZERO grounds to impeach. They are a JOKE.

The politicians calling for impeachment never site specifics on what they want to impeach him on. And those that are vocal about the absurdity represent uber liberal districts.

There will be no impeachment started against President Trump.

However, there will likely be indictments agains corrupt present and former FBI, CIA and DOJ employees.

The GOP is dead. Bereft of life. Is no more. Pinning for the fjords.

How many more examples do you need?

Levin was never a big supporter of Trump.

Indeed, Levin was close to being a never-Trumper in 2016 (which ticked me off!), and recently Levin's been critical of Trump on tariffs for example.

But that gives more credibility to Levin's recognition that Trump was the main force standing between us and the leftists taking over America.

Which makes Trump's signing the omnibus so much worse, than just what's in it.

Giddy Up – DOJ Admits They Have a Grand Jury Empaneled in FBI and DOJ Investigation…

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/03/22/giddy-up-doj-admits-they-have-a-grand-jury-empaneled-in-fbi-and-doj-investigation/

“... AG Jeff Sessions admitted he brought in a prosecutor from outside Washington DC to work with Inspector General Horowitz.

You can read the Goodlatte Subpoenas – HERE – along with the letter that accompanies his demand. However, more important is the response from the DOJ as communicated by Fox News journalist Chad Pergram (emphasis mine): “

Ain’t going to happen.

Russian collusion? What specifically? Wikileaks?

Julian Assange already advised Russia and no other state was involved in leaking the DNC and Pedestal emails?

They have got NOTHING. The only Russian collusion was with Clinton’s camp.

So ironic and Trump will continue to expose it as needed.

“Sorry but Trump is not terribly bright.”

He’s more than bright enough within his area of expertise. A genius, actually.

IMHO, his problem is that he has no fundamental political ideology or principles, conservative or otherwise. Not his fault; he’s just lived his life on a different plane. He remembers when the country was better. Those “better things” happen to be the result of conservative policies, although he probably didn’t make that political connection. We did make the connection, and that’s why he appealed to us during the campaign.

We can take just about any issue and see it in the light of the Constitution. I think that Trump, without a solid conservative foundation, easily can be swayed by feeelings.

It was nice while it lasted, though, wasn’t it — that last 18+ months?

CTH is full of sh!t. If there were Grand Juries or a legitimate investigation against demoncrats or the corrupt state, it would have leaked.

The Democrats, and their Fake Media allies, have indicated they have zero respect for the rule of law. Their brain dead voters will vote for them no matter what they do.

Assuming they “will not dare impeach” after Dems leaders specially have made it clear to their hysteric poltical base they WILL, is wishful thinking.

It will not matter if they have ground or not, they will simply make them up, and the GOP-E left in Congress will do nothing to stop them.

Good post. This all makes more sense when you step back and stop thinking about the national political scene in terms of the two major parties.

The reality is that we have three political movements shoehorned into a two-party system:

1. Globalists (the GOP establishment and the Clinton wing of the Democrat Party)

2. Marxists (the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democrat Party)

3. Nationalists (Trump supporters)

The Globalists are the dominant political force in Washington, and this disastrous spending bill was a perfect illustration of that.

The Nationalists have very little political power in Washington, and wouldn't even be part of the conversation except that one of their own mounted an outlandish campaign and won the 2016 presidential election.

That's where we stand, folks.

There's no reason to be disappointed when everything happens exactly as the political winds would have blown it under any circumstances.

What don’t you understand about the fact that impeachment is a political process?

The so called Bimbo issues are related to consensual interactions.

They are not accusing Trump of rape or groping. And these stories will not result in lessoned support for Trump. The opposite will happen. Trump will gain supporters.

Those on the left do not get it. Trump supporters are 1000%. Lots of posers ‘Acting’ like Trump supporters who are upset with him. But they are usually so over the top, they are easy to identify.

I read somewhere that the legislators had 1,000 minutes to read 2,200 pages.

How can it be legal to vote under those circumstances? It should be grounds for the equivalent of what would be a mis-trial in a courtroom. Turn it back. Give a week for reading the doc, and then vote.

I am so outraged. I feel betrayed. I don’t think I will vote for Trump’s re-election.

Disagree. They cannot sell a fake reason to impeach.

Too much social media. They will get ridiculled and mocked 24/7 for the insane idea of impeaching a sitting duly elected President on made up charges.

Not going to happen. Trump will persevere.

Democrats leak - we don’t . If there aren’t lying pieces of sh*t democrats involved there usually aren’t any leaks.

And if those ‘leaks’ would hurt democrats their butt boys in the press would NOT print the leaks.

When was the last time you saw the MSM print a leak or rumor that made democrats look bad? That would be NEVER. The press is the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party.

There’s a grand jury... we don’t have ‘leaks’ but we do have reality - read the whole piece.

There was enough time to know that it was a POS.
