Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

Or how little it took to impeach Clinton but even Trump's detractors fear the political consequence of impeaching Trump.

The Clinton situation is a blueprint for the Democrats as to how an impeachment could and probably would backfire.

To Flaggy's point however, there is a substantial difference between lying about a BJ and serious financial crimes and tax evasion to the order of 10s of millions if not 100s of millions of dollars.

We can accomplish all our goals without impeachment. This includes exposure of wrongdoing and removal from office. But we just have to wait until 2020 for removal.

If the Mueller report is so damning that removal through impeachment is likely to work then we go ahead. You need 67 senators. Good luck with that.

Without the support of 67 senators, impeachment is a monumentally stupid idea. It would lead to Tiny's acquittal and re-election.

The first question would be is tax evasion, no matter what the bill, an impeachable offense. In Nixon's case...the only reference available....the HJC determined that it was not and did not include the tax evasion charge which was part of the original case in the articles of impeachment.

I'm sure there would be legal argument would be that it is from some authority but, at best, it would be something running around the court system for quite a while.

Impeachment and the 2020 vote are not the only ways to get Tiny out of office.

A third way is to start with criminal indictment in the regular courts (possibly at the state level to avoid Whittaker). This would serve the same purpose as impeachment in so far as it would publicize his crimes and subject the evidence to high scrutiny. And it would be accepted by the public as a criminal matter rather than a political matter. Americans like the whole "nobody is above the law" ideal. So it might have a greater effect without the political risk.

Of course, the whole thing would be a bit of a long shot with the president fighting it the whole way. But if found guilty, then the congress would surely agree that the president can't serve from prison. At that point, impeachment would work and you would easily get 67 votes.

QFT. Far better a drip drip drip pounding of the POTUS rather than impeachment which will rile up his base and Republicans as more of a political ploy. Drag everyone the Dems can in front of as many investigative committee's as they can.

Major difference being Nixon on tape. That likely doesn't exist with Trump and, even if it did, would not sway his constituents.

E Europeans were the ones who cooperated with Germany to send the Jews to the GAS CHAMBERS. Trump is E European and hates Jews like Michael Cohen. Trump is going to let the FBI fry Cohen in the oven.

I detest Trump more than anyone, but your facts here are wrong. It was not only the East Europeans who collaborated with the Nazis in killing Jews. The French, for example, were willing collaborators. They sent French Jews to the camps without the Germans having to ask. There were also collaborators in Belgium, The Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Italy. I suggest you do some reading.

Incorrect. Republicans impeaching Clinton lead to republican voters getting all riled up and voting in a republican as president.

... and it's simple... the dems and the "liberal" media (whatever that means) just need to ignore Trump --- ignore everything .... his rants, tweets and whatever else... just pretend he doesn't exist and to just go about the business of moving the democratic programs forward... The less Trump is in the news and headlines the madder and more outrageous he'll get... he'll do & say dumber and dumber things until the public (except his hard core base) will have had enough... then just find a normal candidate to run against him in 2020 and Trump is history...

it's so simple... just ignore his BS...

Anyone who tries to deny the fact that Trump has created an comfotable environment for racists like those dumb white boys throwing up the Nazi salute.....is a fool. White Supremacists are emboldened by 45 and everyone knows it. Why do you think the rednecks, Nazis and Klansman LOVE Trump sooooooo much?

Trump has Jewish grandchildren. Why does Israel love Trump so much?

I notice the photo of an entire class of young, American men gleefully performing the Nazi salute didn't even register with you.

Just because Trump is not a Nazi does not mean he isn't a racist creating a hospitable environment for other brands of racists to thrive. "Israel" does not love Trump. The Likud Party loves Trump because it is also racist. They would LOVE to exterminate the Palestinian people.

Awesome trumpet logic there Rigged. Even if ALL Israelis love trump, what does have anything to do with his redial biases? Also, trump seems to hate the Germans, wasn’t his grandfather German? You are bringing some real low IQ rationalizations to the table. Next you’ll post Trump smiling next to famous black people as “proof” he loves them.

I wonder if any act like that ever happened before Trump.
