    DON'T let it pour. Trump will then have an excuse for no one showing up (which will happen).

    Early evening thunderstorms are very common in the region this time of year. I live at the top of the Chesapeake bay, about 100 miles north (I am in the District all the time), and we have had these storms pretty much every night for the last two weeks. They clear out the rising humidity, which has always been an isssue with the DC 4th celebration, even before TRump tried to hijack it and make into one of his rallies.

    If he gets up there and does the race baiting, fearmongering, schtick that he does at his rallies, even as he is defying the Supreme Court, it may be time.

    Trump is doing everything he can to get himself impeached. He thinks that will get him re elected because he can play the victim (which he is doing anyway).

    Fantastic. Your sour grapes are so delicious. Mixed with your tears they make a fine wine.

    More please! Give me more!

    If 'we' were to shed tears, they would be tears of joy should weather co-operate in cancelling what's sure to be an 'egofest' of all things Trump and nothing about what we should be really celebrating on the 4th.

    The want or not of impeachment is strictly along party lines. 69% of Democrats want impeachment and removal, 11% do not. Only 11% of Republicans want impeachment, 77% do not. Impeachments seem to be a political partisan issue. So let's break the tie, what do the non-affiliated, less to non-partisan independents think of impeachment? 27% favor impeachment, 42% do not, 31% of independents are not sure or just don't give a darn one way or the other. Question 11

    https://d25d2506sfb94s.cloudfront.net/cumulus_uploads/document/c4ndc02jx7/econTabReport.pdf

    If you're right and Trump wants impeachment, those numbers show why. With only Democrats favoring impeachment, Republicans and independents against it, impeachment could backfire on the Democrats letting Trump win the independent vote in 2020, ala 2016 and reelection. Impeachment at this point would look like a one party affair. More like a political vendetta by the democrats, sort of a partisan political revenge act over losing an election. At least to independents which was the group of voters that gave Trump the White House.

    Be sure and wear your brown shirt and raise your right arm when your fuhrer stands on front of the Lincoln Memorial and hijacks to flag for his pseudo racism!

    You asked for it! You got it!

    Dude. If you're looking for someone to salute the Chinese flag, as well the Indonesia, Turkey and Canada flags look no farther than your 'fake' patriot, Trump! You and the rest of your righties silence on the matter will be duly noted.

    Trump definitely wants to be impeached. He thinks that will be the key to his reelection. He keeps doing things to invite it. And he taunts the people most likely to have to undertake it.

    So does the entire right wing noise machine. They can’t wait to play to collective victim.

    Nixon resigned when the facts became clear, and it was obvious that he was going to be impeached. It had been over a century since the last impeachment, and it was a much more shocking possibility than it appears to be now.

    The Trump base has a very shallow understanding of how our government works, how law works, and regard the Constitution, not as a governing document and the foundation of democratic stability, but as a piece of paper that they can wrap themselves in like a flag when it suits them, and ignore when it doesn’t.

    Trump’s public behavior is entertainment for a low information audience, one which places great stock in their own generalizations, stereotypes, and prejudices, and tend to gravitate toward a media that questions being informed, promotes stereotypes and panders to a lowbrow audience.

    What better head to have than someone whose intellect is on the “reality” tv level. Trump’s administration is a running reality TV show, not a government.

    And Trump has no understanding or respect for the institutions or traditions he has sworn to uphold. He thinks they’re props.

    That Trump has committed openly impeachable offenses is now well beyond doubt.

    And he’s goading Americans into standing up for their traditions and way of life to do something about it.

    Nixon resigned because he understood that his duty required that he put the Constitution and the national interest above himself. After Trump, I expect Nixon’s star to rise, as people understand the value of his choice.

    Trump will not make that choice. His impeachment will be a long act of self immolation, one in which he will try and take as much of the country down with him. Everything Trump has touched has died. He has left behind a trail of failed real estate deals, jilted customers, unpaid bills, frittered away his inheritance, ruined the careers of everyone from Meghan Kelly to Jeff Sessions, done his level best to betray the legacy of Churchill and Roosevelt,

    Impeachment and conviction are essential to the survival of democracy in the United States.

    If the precidents that Trump has set, by buying Mitch McConnell and using him to insure that he could successfully usurp Congressional power, and now defying the Surpreme Court ,are allowed to stand, the next demagogue with a real plan and agenda will walk right in install themselves as dictators.

    Trumpism must not be allowed to survive. If it does, the United States is done as both a democracy and a world power.

    The only real questions are whether we have leaders with enough courage to take this man on, and what the short term political consequences will be. In short, a matter of will and timing.

    Trump is the master at stirring the lefties into a froth. This is just another brilliant stroke causing them to pound their keyboards and send them running to their fainting couch, pearls clutched tightly in their tightly balled up fists, screeching resist, resist impeach, impeach.
    I suspect before the day is over he will have figured out the next stunt he can pull to enhance the income of their therapists.

    The local dogs and horses get spooked around fireworks.

    But apparently lefties are spooked as well.

    I see this kind of sentiment often enough from Trumpsters , that it seems as though this low bar is all that many Trumpsters really expect out of a President of the United States.

    He pushes your buttons by inspiring a constant flow of new outrage.

    That is what Howard Stern does for a living. If all you want out of Trump is to be able to tune in to see what new outrage he’s going to pull next, you don’t appear to expect much.

    I would think any thoughtful patriot would have higher expectations for the President of the United States than that.

    I expect a booming economy- check.

    I expect courts stacked with conservative judges- check.

    My expectations have been met, the pain and anguish of the left is merely a sweet bonus.

    We need more "like" buttons for that.
    Hopefully, President Trump will climb up into the lap of Abraham Lincon to give his "Fireside Chat" to all Americans tonight.
    At that point in time, I will flip over to CNN or MSNBC just to see whose head explodes first.

    "climb up into the lap..." :roflol:

    If Trump (That Morbidly-OBESE, America-Hating, TREASONOUS, Wife-Raping, Tub of LARD) is able to "climb" more than 2 inches (it would be a shocker rivaling a Dead Man Climbing Mt. Everest).

    And, speaking of Rain (With Best Wishes to the ORANGE (Trump) Buffoon):
