@hippyjoe1955 Evolutionary theory is just as real as gravitational theory or the theory of the earth revolving around the sun.
Trump clearly has something to hide, and even Congress is coming to this conclusion as evidenced by the overwhelming bipartisan vote on the Russian sanctions. Clearly Congress distrusts Trump to not cater to Russian interests instead of US interests. The proof is in Mueller's hands. And possibly in the Grand Jury's hands. We'll have proof soon.
Will he be impeached with a republican majority in both houses and hyper partisanship embedded within the culture?
He deserves it by any measure of traditional civility but we live in different times. I'm a Brit leftist who hates everything Trump represents but I am not sure he will be removed. Even if he was, it would mean President Mike Pence. That could be even worse.
@Burnley123 Every week, I think things can't get any worse for Trump, but then they do. His approval rating is continually going down--37% right now with 57.4% disapproval--and it gets worse almost daily. He is starting to lose some of his core support. I think eventually even the Republicans in Congress will come to the conclusion that their agenda will be advanced further with President Pence than Trump. The House of Representatives must draw up Articles of Impeachment, and the vote requires a simple majority. That would require a little over 20 Republicans to vote in favor of impeachment.
Once the president is impeached, his case goes before the Senate, with Chief Justice Roberts presiding. This is a more dicey proposition, because removal would require a 2/3 majority of the Senators present. That would be 67 Senators voting yes, assuming 100 vote. Since there are 48 Democrats who would presumably vote to remove, 19 Republicans would have to vote in the affirmative. This would be impossible to obtain at the moment, but who knows what the situation will be like in a few months or a year? Hell, with Trump, who knows what the situation will be like next week?
@windinhishair A key point of what you say is that the Republicans think they could get their agenda done better with Pence. The drama and incompetence are holding them back.
@Burnley123 A reasonable person would eventually come to the realization that Pence will be better than Trump for getting their agenda through. And if and when that happens, look for a shift in Republican actions.
@Celine I don't have to clutch anything. I have the facts on my side. All you have are stupid fantasies that you weren't even smart enough to create, you're just stupid enough to believe them cause you want to.
I don't really think he will be impeached by a Congress controlled by conservatives, even if they see reason to impeach him.
Let's wait until the investigation is over, but insist that the special prosecutor take it wherever it leads.
It's not that he follows the same set of rules. His entire campaign is based on accusations. In his own mind, and in his supporters minds, they convicted Hillary,even though she was not even charged, indicted or arrested.
The "lock her up" chants, at his W. Virginia rally, yesterday, were disturbing. Another distraction.
@Northwest A thorough investigation of Clinton found that there was nothing she could be charged with. But that doesn't stop Trump's supporters from continuing to demand that she be indicted. I will not be surprised that, as things continue to get worse for Trump, he orders Sessions to indict Hillary. That would be very sad, and dangerous for our democracy.
Do you even know the Laws and rules of evidence and what the Supposed evidence of breaking said laws is? All of it? Or just the pieces you listened to.
Or do you just listen to Pundits who really are just Opinionated Opposition or do you in-depth articles from multiple sources written by real journalist ???
Are you letting your young liberal hatred of anything Trump interfere with you thought possesses or keeping an open mind?
I really don't care what your answers to this are, but just suggest you and anyone else try to be unbiased until all the facts are before you!
I'm NOT a great Trump fan, he irks me too!
But he does like everyone else, deserve fair unbiased unopinionated consideration of all of the facts.
@Celine No dear, he listened to the forgotten people and had a platform that resonated with them. No one had to tell anyone what a lying, corrupt, scandal ridden bitch she is, we already knew it.
@katielass i'm going to see if I can retatain my position back as committee person,,,,,,i just messeged a good friend of mine,so I hope get's back with me,
Also every time you insult me I take it as a great compliment because it's a good indication you have no argument and have to resort to name calling like a child to prove you're best.
@katielass Also, let's be clear. The 'unite the right rally' today at Charlottesville with the neo-nazis. These are your fucking people. This is the world you are deliberately building. Own this.
