President Trump: The Coming Impeachment

Here's how it all will proceed:

 

WASHINGTON POST: The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun

It may not give one person all the power, but it certainly has given one party all the power.

[Petralicious]

This sounds as likely as the REPUBLICAN APOCALYPSE and the end of the REPUBLICAN PARTY you smugly predicted in November

[BroadwayConcierge]

These people do realize that if you're going to impeach Trump, you have to—at the very least—admit that he is indeed your President now, no? You can't say he's not President and try to get him impeached. That isn't how the world works.

Hee!

Jorge, Democrats had full House, Senate, and executive control from 2009 to 2011. Things change over time. I promise you that Democrats will have a happy day again at some point in the future; that's how America works. The sun comes up and the world still spins.

"You can make case that the DNC did that with their horrible strategies from local govenments, state governments,governors, senate, house, and soon unfortunately the supreme court that they gave away

No. He's the President of the United States, and what he presides over is the government. He does not preside over you and me. So all of this "my president" or "not my president" stuff is nonsense, regardless of who it's applied to.

The person most making impeachment a possibility is...GUESS WHO?

I agree.

The ACLU is already on the case.

That inaugural address was a vile, disgusting bit of venom.  Intellectualism and intelligence is officially dead in this country.  Sad! 

[PalJoey]

 

Bookies are currently giving 4:1 odds that Trump will be impeached within 6 months. Anyone want to go in on a $100 bet with me?

If he gets impeached, we win $400!

[Petralicious]

A good bet is to bet against PalJoey who assured us

Trumped was done,  

Hillary would be President,

Republican Party would suffer Apocalypse,

Brexit would be defeated

If you voted against him you be rich!

[PalJoey]

 

Wanna go in with me, Petra? Put your money where your big Putin-lovin' mouth is?

All it takes is a Franklin.

 

[South Florida]

Bet him Petra, Concierge, we're cold as ice, I couldn't pick my nose right now.

 

[PalJoey]

 

Take the bet, Petra:

If impeachment proceeding DON'T begin within 6 months, I owe you $100. An easy hundred for you, no?

If impeachment proceedings begin within 6 months, you owe me $400.

Four-to-one odds.

C'mon Petravicious  put up or  shut up!

(either way we win PJ)

I'm surprised there is no discussion on the always so influential Kellyanne Conway and her alternative facts. That's a good one. Or is that a discussion foe another thread? 

[PalJoey]

 

Come on, Petra. I'm offering to lay you four to one.

 

[South Florida]

PJ, your predictions are hurting.  Stop making them.  Let the trolls have their day.  The hate and outrage that will follow this guy every day from now until forever makes me laugh, especially since we know this little baby can't handle it.  Let's enjoy these moments as Chuck Todd was able to today with Conway.

 

[Jay Lerner-Z]

No. He's the President of the United States, and what he presides over is the government. He does not preside over you and me. So all of this "my president" or "not my president" stuff is nonsense, regardless of who it's applied to.

Hmm, kdogg.  I know you're coming from a libertarian point of view, but I'm not sure this is true. I've been thinking about it myself. A president acts as head of state, representing the US ceremonially, is commander-in-chief of the armed forces, upholds the law of the land etc. - unless you want to renounce your citizenship, stop paying federal taxes, and just live off the grid, I think we're stuck with him (at least until the coming impeachment) - as grotesque, unprecedented, bizarre and unbelievable as that may be.

[PalJoey]

PJ, your predictions are hurting

 

Not my prediction. The bookies are placing odds, as they do regularly on world events, and it follows the same logic as do the odds on horse races or sporting events.

As a matter of fact, in the past two days, the odds on Trump getting impeached have come down from 4:1 to 2:1, precisely because so many people worldwide are putting money on impeachment.
