(2,895 posts)been trying to determine the best way to protect and defend our Constitution from this depraved, amoral, corrupt, fascist grifter. We HAVE to get rid of him, we HAVE to prevail... for the sake of our country and humanity... and that involves a political calculation regarding the most effective strategy for achieving that critical goal. Protecting and defending the Constitution is not at odds with a political choice.

(81,440 posts)That is ridiculously naive, when you consider how the Russians fucked with our election in 2016, and undoubtedly will try to do it again next year. AND that the Chinese might be looking at doing the same thing. AND that trump has already solicited help from Ukraine.
AND thats just the attempt we know about!
We also have to leave a mark on trumps name in the history books. For all time.
Shit - if we can impeach a president for lying about a freakin blow job with a consenting adult, how can we let this massively criminal asshole skate?

(2,895 posts)willing to impeach... because we have to both impeach AND vote him out. (Since they'll never convict in the Senate.) The log jam is breaking, and it seems we are finally there.

(63,220 posts)Everyone on the fucking planet has known that the accused rapist Trump has been shitting all over the Constitution and the republic since long before he took office. He's been doing it publicly and on the record, with an endless series of "must-impeach" offenses, all while Democrats are timidly keeping the driest powder in the history of powder.
I'll believe that Dems will impeach him when they formally declare it. Until then, this is just more of the same.
