Trump MAGAthread VI

[Improved werpland]

Apparently all you need to start the impeachment process is 22 republicans and every democrat in the house. There's bound to be 22 republicans that are pissed off by Trump and maybe after Comey testifies before congress a few more just might.

I'm skeptical there are enough Republicans willing to break with their party, and even if there were, you need more than 20 Republicans in the Senate to confirm the impeachment and actually get rid of Trump

Republicans are too opportunistic to make such a move yet. They have to wait for Trump's base to die away before they do such a thing.

But they are also more concerned about saving themselves than others. If they think that the democrats might be able to take back all of congress they wouldn't hesitate to cut the rope on the SS Trump

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Not good. Not good at all.

What is going on?

I don't think there's enough public push against him quite yet. Maybe soon, but right now his base is deluding themselves with this Rich conspiracy nonsense

Obstruction of justice

Obstruction of justice

Oh. Yay.

Thats always good.

[The Antichrist Trump]

Oh. Yay.

Thats always good.

Time to bust out the impeachment proceedings book *dusts off from circa 1999.*

Trump: "It depends on the meaning of the phrase, 'I hope you can let this go.'"

Not against Trump persay but against them. New polls show that Americans prefer a democrat controlled congress over a republican controlled one by a 16 point margin. That's what the republicans are looking at those numbers if they continue to rise they will decide that stay with Trump will cost them their jobs

[Camicon]

Congress couldn't do shit. Pence was elected VP. If congress can't impeach him then they can't do anything about him.

......so...President Pence is a real possibility right now.

I really wish that Kasich had taken Trump up on his offer to be VP. He was the only Republican that I was marginally OK with.

Kasich didn't want to leave the governor's office to play clean-up crew.

But a lot of the, would be afraid of a Trump supporter backlash winthin their districts, as much as anything else. I know his diehards probably won't give up for anything until they don't see results from him, but Congressmen might feel the need for rock-solid evidence before they cave and vote for impeachment

As a white gay man Pence would probably be substantially worse for me than Trumo, but I say with no hesitation I would take Pence in a heartbeat to get Trump out of office. At least I don't fear national security leaks from Pence

He'd be more useful as President after Trump gets impeached.

[Frenequesta]

If The House impeaches but the Senate doesn't remove, will Trump count that as a win?

I can just see him going "Nyah, Nyah Democrats! Let's see you sweep 2018 now!"

Honestly? I think the Dems retake the Senate in that scenario.

I'm not really tired of the protests. I think its good to keep up the resistance. Trump supporters want to show their side of things? They can get their asses out and counter protest.

We have already shown our side of things. You people can't seem to accept it as reality though. Trump isn't out to destroy all gays nor is he out to deport all immigrants, just illegal ones, who need to be deported, so they can come back in legally register, that way they can pay taxes like the rest of us.

[Vassenor]

Trump isn't out to destroy all gays

I take it you can point to where someone here actually said he wanted to do that then?

[Conserative Morality]

It would seem you don't understand how taxation works in relation to illegal immigrants nor the process of immigration.

So are we just reviving weeks old discussions now?

Oh boy, I go somewhere and what did I miss?

(Actually, I can read through the thread)

Trump resigned. Pence was about to be sworn in when someone told him he'd probably have to be in rooms with women without his wife present, so he resigned. Paul Ryan couldn't stop giggling long enough to get through the oath of office. Orrin Hatch was sworn in but he had a stroke when he was being briefed on stuff Trump did no one heard about, so Rex Tillerson is now the President of the United States.

If this was a 5:00 pm news update I really would believe it at this point

[Liriena]

Apparently, Comey just pulled a move worthy of Game of Thrones and revealed he had written evidence of obstruction of justice all along.

[Corrian]

Looks like I missed a whole lot of desperate defenses in the thread.
