Impeach Trump Y/N

i hope that whoever reads the transcript in congress does so in an aussie accent

vol 2 of the mueller report is just one long list of things trump did and is doing that are clearly misdemeanors and high crimes. no one read the fucking report. even the people on the news will offhandedly say that this new ukraine scandal kicks ass because the primary document sources are so short, compared to the unreadable, war and peace on steroids, completely incomprehensible, impossible mueller report

Btw if anyone’s been seeing the latest messaging from the Federalist et al regarding supposed recent changes in whistleblower policy you will be shocked to learn it’s all bullshit https://www.thedailybeast.com/gop-shows-russian-trolls-how-its-done-with-trump-inspector-general-whistleblower-smear

Just to back up: So it looks like the President, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of State are all implicated in a criminal conspiracy?

been out of touch a bit , what's going on now ?

more of the usual or something new ?

oh Australian PM doesn't want to be left out i see

Barr should resign, but I wish he would recuse first, just to see Trump's reaction.

oh more cool stuff

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo took part in the Trump phone call with Ukraine's leader, a senior State Department official said https://t.co/twUmCMapOu

did we post this?

JUST IN: Mitch McConnell says Senate will put Trump on trial if House impeacheshttps://t.co/YL7H5T2TEP

Sounds like good ship Barr has sprung some leaks.

well then that is a complete and obvious inevitibility. (xp)

how many republican senators do we need to convince to remove, if we assume all Dems and the two independents will vote to convict? My count is 28.

McConnell implies he’d rush a vote through though—acquitting with little pain to the president

lol remember this

Unless Bill Barr -- a former Attorney General under George H. W. Bush and a widely esteemed member of the DC legal establishment -- is one of the most blatantly sociopathic liars on the face of Earth, the Trump/Russia conspiracy theory is officially dead

Where’s Greenwald’s take

OK, so if Rudy or any of these chumps ignore these subpoenas, like so many others have, what then?

then the Sergeant at Arms of the United States House of Representatives is immediately granted the right to use lethal force to obtain any information that is missing

real answer, i don't know. turns out the US Constitution didn't provide much guidance on how to deal with an administration of trolls

The WaPo pays Kathleen Parker to write a political opinion column, officially making her a political pundit with wide national exposure. Today my benighted local newspaper printed one of her columns in which she frets that, although Trump's actions in regard to extorting the Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son were "inherently corrupt" but that said actions "didn't break any campaign finance laws" and might not break any federal statute, thus making his corruption entirely legal and therefore not grounds for impeachment.

This is now officially the stupidest and most ignorant take on this that I have yet encountered. I can only dread whatever greater stupidity will inevitably supersede it.

HOW GOOD IS COLLUSION!!!?!

looks like Anthony Kenndy

I voted No because if we impeach Trump will get mad

if a video went up showing Trump eating poop, we would get millions of people eating poop to own the libs

Wasn't that the plot of Pink Flamingos?

exhuming mccarthy

disturbance at the orange house

Omg Moodles

if Rudy or any of these chumps ignore these subpoenas, like so many others have, what then?

This is that thing where we notice that Congress doesn't have an army at its disposal again. Pretty much all the people with guns work for the President.

Jesus fuck a pig, Joe Hockey (the second-dumbest man in the government, until he left for a massive government sinecure) promised in writing to assist in finding evidence of this non-existent crime, and threw Downer under the bus for good measure

that's a very encouraging trend, but those numbers aren't yet decisive enough to strike dread into the hearts of republican senators. still, good news.

What poll numbers would it take for 19 republican senators to fear their reelection enough to vote to convict? There are only 23 republican senators up in 2020. I don't think that necessarily means impeachment is a bad tactic, but everyone realizes it is nearly impossible that he will actually be removed from office this way, right?

Nah we never thought of that, good looking out

i thought of it but i really appreciate the reminder, good looking out

ii think it's pretty unlikely he'll get removed but it's nice to dream. no reason not to drag him through shit for the next six months nonstop anyway and taint the republican brand for the next 25 years.

It's a good point that he probably won't be removed, so Trump should probably stop freaking out, huh?

wondered for the first time today if the corruption of this administration will all spill out

I’ve been hoping the whole thing makes him so panicked and angry that he strokes out and spends the rest of his life mutely drooling down his cheap, cartoonishly long tie. His twitter feed is fueling that hope. Go, Nancy, go!

I remember someone joking that he will be the first president in history who will have less named after him after he leaves office than he did before.

I just want him to stroke out and die

I would much rather he be prosecuted, lose what of his wealth isn’t imaginary, have to make restitution for emoluments, and be imprisoned.

I mean that's my preference but given the unlikelihood of it happening i prefer the one thing he can't actually bounce back from

Until McConnell Weekend at Bernies him I guess

My opinion applies to Trump, too.

I mean that seems exceedingly unlikely too. And if it's over fast I also don't see it having much impact on 2020? Doesn't it need to be at the forefront of people's minds to actually impact his chances or the senate races?

um idle speculation but he will commit More Crimes after this episode

and therefore...

they can just add it to the impeachment tab

and then...

leave outside but away from direct sunlight for 2-3 weeks before seeds germinate

And then along came Jones
