Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

The aftermath simply can not be part of the decision to remove a corrupt President. That would be like saying we will always just look the other way on this level of corruption or any level of corruption. I remind Trumpers that if we look the other way on Trump, that paves the way for others to be this corrupt, and one day it will be a like corrupt Democrat pushing an agenda they don't like. I remind you that Republicans are the ones who claim to be Constitutionalists. Collusion (conspiracy and/or bribery) with a foreign power and obstruction of justice and money laundering to the extent it will be proven he did clearly falls under "high crimes"...we don't even have to deal with the "misdemeanors" part.

Abroad, his departure will be praised by our traditional allies...allies he has angered. Israel won't like it. Russia won't like it. China might not like it (unclear yet how much ball he is playing with them).

Here at home, there will be some civil unrest from the Trump supporters. Too bad for them. We are a rule of law nation, and the rule of law must be followed. Some days of tear gas and water cannons and rubber bullets and arrests will likely happen. The new President (Pence if he isn't taken down or whomever the Speaker is at that time) will have to be a calming force.

The fact of the matter is that the longer Mueller takes to get as clear a case as possible against Trump as he can, the less severe the civil unrest. I believe he is doing that to make as air tight a case as possible so that even SOME of the most ardent Trump supporters will not be able to deny the wrongdoing.

But bottom line is, justice must be served. For the good of the country. Trump ominously floated the idea at one of his stupid rallies of having his term extended to beyond 8 years. Um...no. No dictators here.

er... That his middle name is ‘Hussein’? Come on Trumpers help me out here.

George W. Bush was called "W." It's easier sometimes to call someone by their middle name for clarification.

What’s the aftermath IF Trump resigns like Nixon or is actually impeached? Financially and politically? Both here and abroad? What happens next? This is why I think nothing will happen while he’s in office. Nothing that sticks anyway.

If Trump resigns then Flagpole gets to issue the golden I Told You So to all of LetsRun.

I do not believe Trump will resign or be indicted in time and concur with The Fokus and kibitzer from a few pages ago. At this point, time is very quickly running out for an impeachment.

Assuming Trump is a 1 term president then you are correct that time is running out. Stranger things have happened. Fear is a great motivator when it comes to elections.

Trump has a skin issue - rosacea. He would look like Jeff Sessions without the vanity makeup.

Moran. He was a Junior and did not like being called Bush Jr, or George Jr.

Saves confusing him with all those other guys named "Barack"?

But why orange?

While it is beyond time Trumpers to admit you backed the wrong horse here,...

Exactly which horse should we have backed?

EXCELLENT question, and the simple answer is ANYONE ELSE who could have legally been elected. Trump is that corrupt, and his corruption at a high enough level to know not to vote for him was seen early enough to stay away...that's where the Never Trumpers came from. But TODAY, we understand just how severe his corruption is (well, those of us who can see the writing on the wall...it will take some of you longer to smell the coffee).

From the original big group of Republicans, Jeb Bush and John Kasich would have been reasonable choices. Lindsey Graham would have been a spectacular choice. None of the others would have been good choices, but still better than Trump.

For the General Election, if you really couldn't get yourself to vote for Hillary (as much as she's not likable and as much as she had some REAL scandals of her own (not any of that pedophile or murderous false crap that made the rounds), then a no vote or a third-party candidate would have been better...actually Hillary would have been better as I've already said ANYONE ELSE would have been a better choice.

But, getting past the election with all we know now about Trump and his criminal associates, you need to stop backing him. People say Pence is worse, but I disagree. Pence, as far as we know, hasn't been involved in criminal behavior, doesn't grab women by the pvssy, doesn't talk like a drunken sailor like Trump does, and he doesn't have the charisma to pull off any crazy ideas or policies. Plus, he doesn't admire dictators.

Trump is out to destroy the rule of law in this country, and that should not be acceptable in any way shape or form.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

That’s a fair point. It’s a lot easier to say or type ‘Hussein’ than ‘Obama’.

Hey idiot, George Herbert Walker Bush named his son George Walker Bush, therefore his son is not a “Junior.” Since the names are not identical, there is no “Senior” and “Junior.”

Well, that won't happen, but supposing we were in an alternate universe and that happened, I would admit to being wrong and send a letter of apology to the White House.

You had better start writing because of the way you keep gleefully taking their bait. The propaganda all over the Internet uses the term "collusion" for a reason. The reason is, there is no such thing as political collusion.

Did Trump launder money? Very, very, very likely. Did Trump attempt to profit from running a Presidential campaign and now as President? Very likely. Is there a long list of other offenses? Very likely.

Will any of it end up in impeachment? Nobody knows.

Will there be some kind of Constitutional crisis? Likely.

Will there be criminal charges for the clown? Very unlikely. Worst case scenario is he's pardoned. That the worst case.

I have accounted for "collusion" many times including an earlier post from today when I listed the crimes he will be charged with:

"Conspiracy with Russia. Might be in the form of Bribery, but it will be whatever they decide is the appropriate legal version of collusion. Could be Conspiracy against the United States of America."

1) Impeachment and conviction or resignation will happen.

2) Constitutional crisis? I agree likely but not for sure.

3) When you are pardoned, you have to admit that you are guilty of the charges. I have long said he likely will not spend time in prison, probably due to a combination of pardon and plea bargain. The CHARGES will be there though and some will be dropped due to his plea bargain which I have said several times. If he's pardoned though...to be crystal clear about this, that means he admits guilt. Doesn't matter what he says afterwards (and he will lie to the end of his days), to accept a pardon, admitting guilt is part of that.

GWB was called "W" to differentiate him from his father George H. W. Bush.

Barack Obama was called "Barack Hussein Obama" to instill fear and hatred in those who opposed him. If Obama's name was "John", it would next to never have been mentioned.

You know you've got Flagpole's blood pressure up with he calls you "brother." You got two of them. You must have really hit a nerve with him,............brother.

It doesn't work that way.

I understand the urge to be right all the time, though it doesn't make much sense. (We're all just varying degrees of dumb and constantly get things wrong.) I don't understand the urge to be an amoral sadist. Ann Coulter's career will not suffer one bit for saying we should gun down people trying to cross the border, specifically because a lot of conservatives find her opinions appealing. Fox News will probably have her on tomorrow and President TiVo will be all ears. If Republicans are tired of being called deplorables, you'd think they'd make an effort to disown her so that they can be "right" about not being racist. I'm still waiting for the day!

Speaking of endorsing today's slaughter in Gaza, Chuck Schumer needs to be excused from Democratic leadership. He is useless.

Do you not?

SEEKRIT MOOSLIM!

The reason they called Obama hussein is that they want to associate him with Saddam Hussein. A Mooslim dictator who is better of dead. Oh, and he is black, Worse, he is a Kenyan black from a sh!thole country. Obama must be erased from history to make the US a white haven.

Pure desperation to distract from the fallout of one of Trump's dumbest decisions. Trump has even asked his team to rummage through the lives of the people in Kerry's delegation to see if they can dig up anything negative. As expected, point and blame someone else.

Democrats favorite move, Hillary mastered it as she fake Trollminator out and got his vote for ignorance. As expected, she lost and he points and blames someone else, right out of the liberal dribble handbook. Poor baby sore loser:(

Impressive resume.

No, not you, Flagpole.
