Trump to be Impeached

[Zkribbler]

"How?" you ask. "The Republicans control the House."
Exactly.
Republicans hate Trump because they can't control him. They love Pence.
The Senate is the same way.

Trump will give Congress plenty of reasons:
(1) His fraud trial over Trump University begins in next month.
(2) His Trump Foundation is still not registered, and Trump's been embezzling money from it to pay off court judgments, to buy things for himself, to make illegal political contributions, and to bribe the Florida AG not to prosecute him for Trump University.
(3) His tax audit must end sometime, and the truth will out. Yeah, that billion dollar loss he wrote off? Much of the loss wasn't his. He worked out a deal with this creditors whereby he "paid" them with valueless partnerships. They deducted the partnerships from their taxes, saying they were valueless. Trump wrote off the face value to the partnerships...which is tax fraud.
(4) Trump has promised to end ISIS quickly. If he chooses to use force, he'll probably neglect to get permission from Congress, which is a violation of the War Powers Act.

Expect his working class supporters to turn on him. After promising to protect Social Security, two of the four members of his SS transition team are advocates of privatization. After promising to "repeal and replace" Obamacare, he has nothing to replace it with, and so tens of millions of working class Americans will lose their health care insurance.

Well, that was fast. Wrap it up by Christmas... and then what happens?

 

[CavLancer]

Gifts for the kids!

It'd be political suicide. That'd be like saying "yes, we would like to turn our favourable numbers in 2018 into a big Dem win"

Impeach him right after he wins an elections and then they will have to face riots from both the leftists who support Clinton and the Trump supporters who will believe that the establishment conspired against Trump. Not only that, but Pence is not that well liked. So, go ahead GOP and impeach Trump. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[CavLancer]

Lets just call for a do over and have more fun with elections!

 

[CavLancer]

Hillary might win another election then we could impeach her! This could be funner than anything!

How long do you think the Trump supporters will wait for their pies in the sky before they can be convinced that Trump betrayed them?

 

[CavLancer]

Dunno, the rust belt has been rusting a long time Tims, they are used to waiting.

 

[KMRblue1027]

You'd be putting Pence in charge you do realize that right?

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Dunno, the rust belt has been rusting a long time Tims, they are used to waiting.

True, but they are also used to having their anger directed at ever changing targets. How long can that really be kept off Trump?

 

[Kyriakos]

Not seeing this happen. This isn't yet C&C Red Alert2

 

[CavLancer]

What happens if Obama pardons every American who is guilty of anything?

Four years. Same as everyone else.

They are used to apple pie with the coffee their diner serves. If Trump gives them free pie, they'll be good for another 40 years.

With impeachment they can have the hate without the wait. Trump is already backtracking on repeal and replace. It is likely that the only way he has any chance to pacify the country is making his massive infrastructure spending program his first action, and the GOP establishment is going to go berserk portraying him as a traitorous Democrat in disguise. I give it a year before his followers are calling for his head on a spike.

 

[Kyriakos]

^Sounds like wishful thinking. Much like that he would lose to Hillary in a landslide, or lose more than reps lost in 2008, or at least more than in 2012, or at least lose by a small margin.
Lack of touch with why this person won is... why he did win. You can't divide your own voters (and i always am of the view the dem voters are far more logical by and large -- but obviously not all -- than republican ones) with stupid games between groups and cater to your 0.01% pals, and then think Hill lost because of #RACISM. She lost cause she is a fake. Racism would be equal a factor if she wasn't the nominee, and the dems very probably would have won.

Republicans may believe in stupid things, but they're not stupid - they got where they are through skilled (obnoxious, unethical, but skilled) political maneuvering. If they impeached and removed Trump right when he got into office, they would be facing riots and lose everything in 2018. They will wait and give Trump a chance. If he does stupid things they don't like and if his approval rating falls to W. Bush 2008 levels, with his supporters deserting him - then they might take the chance to remove him and replace him with Pence. But before it even gets to that point, they will use that as an implicit threat to get policies they want. He has done and will do many flagrantly illegal things, so they can use any crime they want to remove him if his support evaporates. I'm certain he knows that.

The sort of magical thinking that keeps Trump from getting into office or removes him immediately needs to stop now. He will be the 45th president. People will be referring to him as Mr. President. He will probably even live in the White House, although everyone knows he won't live on $400k/year.

Honestly, despite the fact that I still hate the Orangutan-in-chief, I think he might turn out to be somewhat balanced as an actual president. Or he's just acting that way while the heat is on, time will tell.

Nothing would thrill me more than to watch him snip a little around the corners of Obamacare, rename it Trumpcare, and then every Republican is suddenly in lurrrrve with it. Imagine if the Republicans end up not being able to control him at all and he accidentally does good

 

[CavLancer]

Anyone know where and when Trump was born? Any chance he's a Confederate?
