So how bad will it be?

[thegoose]

Dump is going to be acquitted. The Pukes have already said so. When he's unleashed, what will he do?

[underpants]

1. He'll still have been impeached

That's historical and on the record that can't be erased.

[OnDoutside]

2. Yup, and when he's impeached, have a major ad campaign about

how he's the worst criminal to be President. It's feck all use if you don't rub it in.

[thegoose]

5. Good point

While he shrieks about exoneration, we need to make sure to flood all means of communication with his scarlet letter.

He tweeted 123 times in one day? That's total proof that the fat asshole doesn't do shit.

[OnDoutside]

11. Yes, what disgrace he has brought to the United States etc.

6. He'll be notorious in history as the worst president ever. n/t

[lunatica]

3. For one, he's gonna have to make friends with the asterisk after his name

It’ll eat at him like a mosquito buzzing around his ear all night. In his case though, it will be buzzing for the rest of his life.

The * will stick to him no matter what. Forever.

[RKP5637]

4. Send him more KFC and burgers to load up on! n/t

[MineralMan]

7. Just watch. Nobody can predict what is going to happen, really.

Yes, he'll not be removed from office. But, what happens between now and then should be pretty darned interesting, I think.

It's history being made. Don't miss it. You'll probably never see anything like it again.

[thegoose]

8. I like your optimism

Hopefully we can take back the senate and the Oval Office next year.

9. I wrote a recent post about this.

If Trump is acquitted the Republicans will be unleashing a textbook narcissist with deadly obsessions upon us. He will no longer be bound by the constitution, the rule of law. I assume the Republicans believe they can keep him under control. That is not possible because a narcissist cannot control themselves.

If Trump is acquitted we will all get an education. A education you may not enjoy.

[intrepidity]

10. He can only be acquitted if Pelosi sends it to Senate

We need to convince her to hold off.

[safeinOhio]

12. Acquittal only means

more rope for him the hang from.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

13. He's been unleashed all along. Look at the turmoil his cabinet's been through.

In a positive sense, the impeachment process has brought his failures, weaknesses and criminality into the sunlight. So, I think more of the public will be watching and criticizing not just Trump, but the entire GOP much more this year. Dozens of court cases they're fighting will keep them exposed to sunshine.

Republicans making a shit-show out of this solemn process must be pounded up their asses at every opportunity. On our side, we need to make a shit-show out of the GOP's constant flood of lies.

I'm not yet personally resigned to acquittal but if he is, let's hope the Rethugs get the big head to the point of becoming complacent, making it easier for us to win.

KY........

14. Is it in the sunlight? I just heard how on the nightly news the impeachment vote was not even in

top three stories. What the actual FUCK??!?!??!?!

[malaise]

17. What nightly news

Isn't that at 6.00pm starting in the East

[UniteFightBack]

20. The 6:30 time slot. Lester Holt, the guy on ABC that's kinda cute I can't remember his name now.

What a drag it is getting old.

[malaise]

21. But it's only 5.22pm?

I'm trying to understand

[UniteFightBack]

22. Yesterday's broadcast....LOL. nt

[malaise]

23. OK

Get it

[Jedi Guy]

18. Probably because it was the Judiciary Committee vote.

For what it's worth, CNN had it as a huge-font banner headline for quite some time. I've no idea what the TV news folks did, since I don't watch TV.

I expect that when the full House votes next week, it'll probably receive more coverage.

Do also bear in mind that for a lot of people, politics just isn't a thing they focus on with the intensity that we here on DU do. We're all newshounds and political junkies. Your Average Joe and Jane, not so much.

[UniteFightBack]

19. Yeah you're right...of course..next week it will be prime time. nt

[CanonRay]

15. I think it will depend on the outcome of the SCOTUS case on his tax returns

If they keep them hidden we're screwed. If they become public, he might quit. I'm not very hopeful.

[StarryNite]

16. He'll do whatever he wants...

just like he's been doing all along.

[coti]

24. Then impeach him again. nt
