    They’ve now redefined what they meant by saying “ NO COLLUSION” constantly: the President didn’t hack the DNC.

    This is getting comical.

    Rudy has proven himself to be a clown. Allowing him to fit well in the clown car with the rest of the nitwits.

    Atlantic is a LW magazine as a matter of fact, don't like me calling them and sources you cite to like thinkprogress and Vox a sewer? Then talk to them about publishing in context stories and reasonable opinions, not raw, partisan Fake News feces. If it floats like a turd and smells like a turd...

    Well that is what this thread is about and what you posted................

    And as I posted in two other threads ABC's Chief White House reporter on on Stephanopolus's Sunday show reporter those with contacts in the Mueller probe telling him the report will be anti-climatic and people shouldn't get their hopes up. Sounds like the preliminary leaks to soften the blow.

    Mueller report to be 'almost certain to be anti-climactic,' sources tell ABC's Karl

    "There have been expectations that have been building, of course, for over a year," Karl told Stephanopoulos. "But people who are closest to what Mueller has been doing, interacting with the special counsel, caution me that this report is almost certain to be anti-climactic."

    He should have paid more, almost all the polls showed him losing. Though in a way he was trying to pay for the truth, that he was going to win.

    I did not vote for trump. I have no dogs in this hunt. He may be corrupt but hardly incompetent. And it began with him beating hillary, the unbeatable!

    He has kept some campaign promises, and probably more than any recent president. An incompetent president wouldn't be able to do that.

    And that is the way an objective mind with no emotional attachments to trump sees it.

    He very well may be a businessman who played dirty, walked fine lines, even crossing some at times. I think you see this kind of business behavior more often than not in the world of business and billions.

    And he brought that with him to the white house. If he does what his voters want, better jobs, secure borders, getting us out of the middle east wars, he was competent, even if he was a dirty rat. As long as he doesn't break any consequential laws.

    This statement cannot be more moronic:

    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 American People, through the electoral college, make this judgement, not Congress.

    The President is not a prime minister, he does not serve at the pleasure of Congress and does not answer to Congress for his actions -- The Constitution does not give Congress the power to take a meaningful vote of no confidence.

    Whoever wrote this article - and anyone who supports it - cannot be more ignorant of the American system of government.

    You mean:

    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.

    This isn't a list of crimes against the constitution, it's a mindless, bigoted, hyper-partisan rant.

    His Muslim ban alone was unconstitutional. As was his targeting Muslims in the US for enhanced scrutiny based solely on their religion. His threats against the media (for example pulling NBC's license) are also contrary to protections in the Constitution on freedom of speech.

    It's almost like the right only knows about the 2nd Amendment. The rest are a mystery.

    The supreme court said otherwise.

    NBC does not have the right to an FCC license; criticizing the news media does not violate the 1st Amendment.

    Fact remains:
    This isn't a list of crimes against the constitution, it's a mindless, bigoted, hyper-partisan rant.

    Looking for something unconstitutional.

    Not divesting his financial interests? Not in the constitution. Neither did president Washington.

    Lying about the inaugual size? Boasting in error is not a crime or unconstitutional.

    Firing Comey? That is his plenary perogative as Comey said, "He can fire me for a reason or no reason at all."

    Impeding the Mueller investigation? Hardly, the WH imediately turned over thousands of documents and sorry to let you down, even the President has freedom of speech and civil rights.

    Trampling liberties? Of non citizens? Really? Determing immigration is a plenary power of the President. Don't like it? Talk to Congress.

    There are a couple more claims that they do not back up with any facts.

    Opinion by a writer is hardly grounds to impeach. In fact, I hope the House goes forward with it. It won't end well for them. The experienced democrats know this.

    As far as judges go. It is unimaginable that a judge overruled Trumps executive order overturning Obama's DACA, which Obama said for one and a half years he could not constitutionally do, then did it in spite of the constitution. Unfortunately they democrat judge shop and find an activist judge that will take the case even though it might not even be in their district. After that a district judge decides what is right for the whole country and not just their district. If you don't see the problem with this then you are just championing a radical judiciary.

    The article is just another hair on fire Trump hater spewing the usual hysterical 'Orange man Bad' nonsense.

    The Atlantic: IMPEACH DONALD TRUMP

    Pay attention now folks. Donald Trump may be the last U.S. President to win the presidency by honest, Democratic vote. Y'all complaining about him but if Hitlery Clinton had her druthers you'd probably be welcoming your boys home from the Ukraine in a casket and blaming it on Putin instead of your own darn Whine House in War-shington.

    It's not TRUMP'S fault that most all terrorist-spewing nations happen to be of one particular religion! There's a REASON it's not an Amish Ban! Get it?

    What % of Muslim-majority nations were NOT on the "Muslim Ban"?

    The "Muslim ban" -as dishonestly labelled by the left - was ruled constitutional, and thus -not- an example of Trump acting against the constitution.

    IG report rips gov't for punting on possible Trump emoluments violation tied to his DC hotel

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/do...g-possible-trump-emoluments-violation-n959531

    WASHINGTON — The inspector general of the General Services Administration, the government agency that controls federal property, said Wednesday that the agency had failed to consider whether President Donald Trump's lease on the Washington building that houses the Trump Hotel violated either the Constitution or the terms of the lease.
