(GAH, Judy, I just mistakenly put my comment over at Live & Learn blog!) Anyway, here it is:
Well, Trump and cronies has managed to come between family and between friends — every day since before he got in. Now, people in this Administration feel free to insult the retarded, the grieving, and even a restaurant who didn’t want to serve Sarah Sanders and her cronies, in the midst of this migrant children abduction outrage that’s going on. As I see it, it’s already civil war. the violence will soon follow, I fear. May as well impeach him come what may from within our own borders, rather than leave him there and risk even worse.
Why do we move so slowly in a homeland crisis? This is outrageous. At this point, I would almost hope it’s all been an elaborate ruse to get Pence into office. At this point, I’d take Keith Richards.
That the Christian right supports him is nothing short of farce. The skinheads and neo-Nazis I can understand, but nice little born-again Christian ladies are expounding on their blogs about how he is saving our country by keeping out the murderers and rapists. Totally overlooking his infidelities, crude behavior toward women and the fact that he once said if he ever ran for president it would be as a Republican because they were so dumb they’d believe anything he told them. Do they really believe that what 99 percent of the news organizations on earth report is fiction whereas Fox News is the only one reporting the truth? It boggles the mind. And I think the intent is to keep on dumbing-down the country. The Education Sec. being an example of how.
It looks to me like neither Republicans or Dems are willing to put their jobs or their future Prez runs on the line. What a horrible 4th of July it’ll be. Bizarro World.
I think all of us are starting to see what he considers to be great. Anything that serves himself and his rich cronies. Make America Elite Again is more like it.
I think you’re right, as was the comment on Marilyn’s site about white supremacy! An elite, white country is not what the Constitution says or any of the other founding documents.
Always keep in mind that this man has single handedly given the country over to the Klan, the White Supremacists, the skin heads, the bigots, the Neo Nazis. And his coterie cheer him, as his hand now and then rises every so slightly in the time honored Nazi salute.
I know.. sickening. But they are all just a means to getting elected. In reality he has sold the country out to his rich buddies.. with a little something in it for himself. He would profess to believe anything that would get him what he wants.
As the country begins to talk more seriously about impeaching the President, it is important to remember that impeachment does NOT, in itself, remove him from office. Impeachment is simply an indictment, a charge of serious crimes. The power of impeachment rests in the House of Representatives and requires a majority vote. The impeachment would then have to be tried in the Senate, with a 2/3 vote. Given the current makeup of the Congress, this would be very difficult to accomplish. Another option is the 25th amendment, through which the President can be declared incompetent and removed by 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress — this seems equally difficult to accomplish. Thus, I would suggest that impeachment cannot happen until after the midterm elections, and then only if the Democrats gain control or near control of the House of Representatives.
Too little too late, I’m afraid.

Better late than never. Democrats need to read the writing on the wall. And ACT.

Republicans need to join them in this or it will never happen. Some say impeachment would cause civil war. Who knows?

I feel the same way. To let him continue is an insult to liberty and all our founding fathers intended. It is CRAZY!!!!
