    The Atlantic: IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP
    Starting the process will rein in a president who is undermining American ideals—and bring the debate about his fitness for office into Congress, where it belongs.

    [​IMG]


    On january 20, 2017, Donald Trump stood on the steps of the Capitol, raised his right hand, and solemnly swore to faithfully execute the office of president of the United States and, to the best of his ability, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. He has not kept that promise.

    Instead, he has mounted a concerted challenge to the separation of powers, to the rule of law, and to the civil liberties enshrined in our founding documents. He has purposefully inflamed America’s divisions. He has set himself against the American idea, the principle that all of us—of every race, gender, and creed—are created equal.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have become convinced, that time is of the essence, so I would concur. Given the danger, starting the process will save valuable time.

    And, the crimes will have already been committed, so starting Impeachment proceedings, will HOPEFULLY cause him to reconsider any scorched earth designs he has for an ungrateful population.

    Folks, we are suffering that curse of ancient China. For we indeed, live in interesting times.
    It seems we had a President that used any means, to foist himself upon us. With the help of an adversary.

    I am proud of our capacity to ferret out the truth. We should all be proud.

    Cohen: I Paid For Online Poll-Rigging At The Direction Of Trump

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/michael-cohen-poll-rigging-donald-trump-redfinch-solutions

    "Michael Cohen in a tweet Thursday morning more or less confirmed a Wall Street Journal report that he paid an IT specialist in early 2015 for rigging two online polls in favor of President Trump.

    The tweet said that what Cohen did was “at the direction of and for the sole benefit” of Trump. Cohen was reimbursed for the payment — purportedly some $12,000 handed to the specialist in cash, though Cohen claims it was a check — with $50,000 from Trump and his company, according to the Journal."

    I'll skip to the chase. There has been so much baloney thrown around that no one knows what to believe. The house might impeach Trump, but it will go nowhere in the senate. And even if it did, I like Pence better.

    "Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie reportedly delivers a savage critique of President Donald Trump’s inner circle in his upcoming book, Let Me Finish.

    In an exclusive excerpt of the tell-all memoir that was obtained by Axios, Christie wrote that Trump has a “revolving door of deeply flawed individuals” working for him in the White House.

    They are “amateurs, grifters, weaklings, convicted and unconvicted felons” who “were hustled into jobs they were never suited for, sometimes seemingly without so much as a background check via Google or Wikipedia,” he added in the tome, which is due out Jan. 29."

    The fat man is spot on.

    Pense was chosen by MANAFORT, to pay off a loan. Pense is dirty and a liar. He goes too.

    He will pick a VP and then, if he got impeached, we would still have a republican president. Play the game as long as you want and neither Hilary or Pelosi will still become president.

    In the meantime, the general population will get tired of democratic silliness.

    The left wing media's call for impeachment is a response to a fantasy reality of its own creation. If they really want to help our country, they'd impeach themselves or stop making up stuff, not fill our House with the dregs of society which they have done. Our country is better and stronger than before Trump took office. And leftists are sicker by their own willfulness.

    The left will hang onto every word of a proven liar Cohen that is under a lot of trouble for his own actions.

    It's a curious thing how you folks take every observation of Don's incompetence and ask if he should be impeached over it. Does hiring a bunch of hacks to staff his admin qualify as an impeachable offense? I don't think so. I doubt anyone does. So why ask?
    Are there other matters which Mueller may prove beyond what we already know that will make the case for impeachment stronger? Yes, I believe he will. Until he issues his findings.......we wait..........and bear witness to the most corrupt, incompetent prez in a century.

    That you find it necessary to characterize, without substantiation, a magazine expressing a defensible position with which you disagree a "sewer magazine" is very..............well............very Trumpian. He has taught you well.

    The subtitle to the article reads........."Starting the process will rein in a president who is undermining American ideals—and bring the debate about his fitness for office into Congress, where it belongs."

    The events that have transpired make the debate about his lack of fitness for office manifestly clear. The only thing that remains is whether crimes can be proven.
