By the end of this charade, a meteor strike probably will be less damaging to our society than Trump.

I wish I could use a time machine to jump ahead to the future where Trump is impeached and gone, and skip all the high-intensity derp.

Good. This schmoe will be an unmitigated disaster for workers.

Yup. It was limited to ten years a while back, but they restored it to lifetime not too long ago.
Good freakin’ Grief…
Trump Administration Will Not Insist on Two-State Solution in Middle East, White House Official Says
Breaking with decades of U.S. foreign policy, the Trump administration will not insist on a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when President Donald Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday.
Senior White House officials signaled the shift in a briefing to reporters late Tuesday in advance of the summit — the two leaders’ first in-person meeting since Trump took office.
“Maybe, maybe not,” one official said of the two-state solution. “It’s something the two sides have to agree to. It’s not for us to impose that vision. But I think we’ll find out more about that tomorrow.”
The official emphasized that Trump seeks to bring peace to the turbulent region, even as he has promised a far closer relationship with Netanyahu and Israel under his presidency. Netanyahu and former President Barack Obama repeatedly clashed, and in one of his final acts in office, Obama declined to veto a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israel’s expansion of settlements in West Bank areas claimed by Palestinians as part of a future state.
“A two-state solution that doesn’t bring peace is not a goal that anybody wants to achieve,” the official said. “Peace is the goal, whether it comes in the form of a two-state solution if that’s what the parties want or something else, if that’s what the parties want, we’re going to help them.”
Over the past week, Netanyahu’s been taking major flak from the right-wing parties calling on him to renounce recognition of a Palestinian State and to request no such recognition by the USA when meeting with the President Electoral tomorrow.
This is just what those nutjob fanatics have been hoping for…

Oh, I glossed over the word “impeached” there. I’m not 100% sure.

I wish to hell there was some way to verify the sincerity of what some of these guys are saying.
If they intended on following through on what they were saying it would be great. But given past performance I have to assume it’s empty theater at this point.

If not, that would make the mess of impeachment preferable to a resignation.
re: #5 Barefoot Grin
Yes, he’d be eligible for a secret service detail IMO. Whether that includes if he actually goes to prison has never been tested before. But impeachment would not interfere with his Secret Service detail (Bill was impeached, not convicted).

Hopefully this time the President won’t get a pardon. Trump, Flynn, and the whole bloody lot of these assholes deserve a trip to ADA Florence.

I didn’t get it at the time, but in retrospect, I understand the decision to pardon Nixon. Had he forced the nation to go through impeaching, convicting, and removing him from office, I think it would have been reasonable to then make him stand trial in criminal court and accept the jail time. But he ‘fell on his sword’ and spared us that, once it was clear he was completely fucked.
Trump? Who the fuck knows what he’ll do?

Yeah I don’t think Ford was wrong to pardon Nixon. Granted I probably would have been pissed at the time but Ford did make the right decision and that’s something Ted Kennedy agreed later on. You’re right. I just can’t see Trump doing that. Nixon for all the flaws he had and man he had a lot wasn’t Trump.

All of the people in line to inherit the White House if Trump is impeached SUCK. Massively. The only thing I’d feel better about if any of these right wing shitgoblins become president is that they probably wouldn’t launch a nuclear war because the prime minister of Fuckistan made fun of their tiny hands.

So true sigh.
Plus we’re so early in to this term too. We’re not even at the W.H Harrison point yet.
Sigh we knew this was a bad idea. We tried like hell to warn people but they didn’t want to listen. I’m angry at Trump, I’m at angry at Flynn but I’m just as angry at my fellow Americans who voted for this clownshow. Maybe you should put your hatred of the left for once and actually think rather than being a reactionary minded asshole who falls for blatant and stupid lies.

Who’d have thought we’d find ourselves in a situation where we might actually welcome a President Mike Pence? I mean, holy shit, folks. I knew Trump would be a lousy President, and that he would be so bad he’d make GWB look like Abraham Lincoln by comparison, but I honestly didn’t think he could possibly be THIS BAD.
re: #23 Charles Johnson
The problem is Trump’s whole team is tainted by the Russians, including the House Republicans who won because of them.
re: #23 Charles Johnson
In my impeachment fantasies today, the investigations drag down the administration so much that they are unable to enact any of their heinous, disruptive policies… Dems take the house in 2018 and impeach Trump and Pence and we get our first female president - PRESIDENT NANCY PELOSI!
I can see the republican heads exploding now.

Yeah if Pence is welcome, I don’t know where the fuck we are anymore. And honestly I worry like hell how Trump’s diehards are going to respond if their man goes down. I do worry about violence. I’ve never been more unsure about our country’s future than I am now.

If you are internet only, can you get ATT Uverse? I have cable TV with Spectrum former Time Warner. And I have high speed ATT Uverse through phone and I think it is as good as cable, at least for me. I am close to one of the hubs and with the higher speed package I have excellent speed. And the Wifi off of it works very well too. It is not cheap though.

They’re going to have to investigate this. Those whiny Republicans think those townhalls are tough now. Try doing events of any kind when this is frontpage news. Honestly, I say in 2018, we pounce on any Republican. Trump is the GOP and the GOP is Trump.

2018? Republicans care about getting through their extreme agenda. They’ll just look the other way and tolerate Trump’s messiness and misdeeds. Nothing will happen until Congress flips to Democrats.

We tried telling those damn idiots that Trump had bigger problems than that but they called us elites. You know what. Maybe I am a so called liberal elite but at least I’m not a right winger with my head in the fucking sand.
I think it’s funny that the GOP is already starting to fret that the flood of scandals will keep them from destroying the fabric of America on schedule. Fuck you guys. Deal with the shit-show you asked for and do the bare minimum of legislation - Emergency budget extensions and spending bills for four years? Why the fuck not? I can survive that.

re: #49 darthstar
That’s what the GOP did for the past several years - refusing to do budgets by the regular process. Continuing budget measures got us through the past few years. Critical measures, like the debt ceiling should be passed, and everything else should be kicked over to the next election cycle. /as if
No, this craven bunch of politicians will push full steam ahead and try to ram through their regressive agenda while they think they’ve got time, or no one is paying attention.

Yep. An example must be made of these guys, so it’s crystal clear to everyone that colluding with foreign agents is something that will get you prosecuted to the fullest extent.
They should have done it to the Bush Cabal, and Trump would never have happened.
