This thread is ridiculous. Trump won't be impeached. Not gonna happen, no matter how much many of you want it to. He's done nothing impeachable! The whole thing is a political tactic, because the dems have no answer to the great job Trump is doing. If the dem controlled house wants to impeach him simply because they don't agree with him, it won't work. If he were impeached, and Pence became president, Pence would name a vice president. So then if Pence were impeached, Nancy Pelosi would not become president. Pence's VP would. The only way Nancy becomes President, is if the president and vice president both die in a plane crash or something like that. It's why you never see the president and vice president ride together. Nancy would be a horrible president, and I'm glad that will never happen. The whole impeachment thing is nothing but scam and blather. It's a tactic Nancy herself describes how it's done. It's a tactic built on lies.

Let's do as I did with OJ Simpson even before he was actually arrested - let's get down to the irreducible minimum:


If Trump is actually innocent, why is he acting so damned guilty?


The rest of the show is going to be another parallel with the OJ Simpson case, too - probably right down to the acquittal.

Of course, I would remind everyone that OJ DID eventually wind up wearing a jump suit and getting visits from the chaplain, too.

My prediction and recall I predicted impeachment before he was elected. He will be impeached that is certain at this point but barring any additional revelations he will make it through the Senate trial without being removed. He will lose 2020 and be prosecuted by the State of NY for financial crimes and the Feds for Obstruction and Election laws, he will not get a pardon from the new Democrat President

I hope that this plays out exactly as you have written. IMO, it would better for all of our country and both parities if he loses in the general election.

I fear what Trump may do before the election if it becomes obvious he is going to lose. Or what he may do after he has lost. He reacts so much like Hitler that it makes me very nervous. I’m probably overreacting but the sooner he’s removed from office the better IMO.

Based on his cruel nature and lawless behavior to date, combined with what appears to be psychological instability, you fears are well founded.

I do worry he is planning his own Reichstag Fire but I take solace in the fact that his crew of idiots can't seem do much right

Something similar to the fire = national emergency = consolidate power = call off elections.
I use to think this was the stuff of conspiracy theorists, but unfortunately it seems entirely plausible.

I had to go back and scrounge around to find out what the hell they were talking about with 2016 and Ukraine. Found out he and Rudy had picked it up off harebrained far right sites. He at least semi-believes this crap...
