 It is a very long shot but it IS in play!






Freedom of the press is guaranteed by the Constitution. This is a breach of that Constitution. This is impeachable!


Unbelievable. You just couldn't imagine or make this stuff up. Definitely time to impeach.
 

Subversion of justice is an impeachable offense. Is it time to impeach now?


Be afraid. Be very very afraid. Our democracy is under attack from this President and his henchmen. Time to impeach.


Mid-term elections are in 2018. No matter how hard Republicans run away from their constituents those same constituents will still vote.


 
With an unethical EPA head what could possibly go wrong?

 
It's not just agriculture that the Immigration Crackdown will impact. It's a whole range of jobs most Americans will not do like cleaning, landscaping, and construction. Beyond that consider what will happen on the US southern border when hundreds of thousands are deported. That will certainly destabilize the border.

 
Closed event had no lines. In Delusional Don sees whatever his ego demands. Reality need not intrude.


Donnie attacks FBI again. Can you say demagogue?


Make America Great Again. Deport farm laborers make food cost more or less available and damage the trillion dollar tourist industry. Meanwhile keep out people from countries that have NEVER committed terrorist acts in the US. Yeah we're definitely going to be 'Great Again'. 



Trump inspires protesters everywhere. Obama, not so much.


Trump delusion in search of evidence. What could possibly go wrong when a delusional demagogue demands that reality obey his delusions?



Blatant corruption! Cabinet positions and government appointments for sale. Contribute now there are still many positions available. .... Time to impeach.

Real poll. Bogus headlines.



Never ending corruption in Trumplandia. Is it time to impeach yet?

Hypocrisy much?

Trumplandia, is it super incompetent or is it super illegal.  We are at a point with Trump where there are only two choices he is either completely incompetent or he is actively seeking to subvert the Constitution in a treasonous way. Either one requires his removal.

Is there any longer a question about Republican efforts to subvert elections through gerrymandering and other methods.


Time for Congress to act. We can investigate non-issues for months and years but not Trump.


Is it time to impeach now?

Is it time to impeach now?


Not my America. Not my President. Trump shouldn't be anyones.


Time to impeach now?


Time to impeach! These outrageous anti-American actions at the direction of an illegitimate president are cause enough.

Remember this and Trump's tax avoidance scheme when you pay your taxes. Then remember it again in 2018.

Trumplandia doesn't believe in Muslim bans. No it definitely doesn't. Really Donnie said so, so it must be true. Not my America.




Leading contender for dumbest Republican Congressman of the day.




Dumbest Delusional Donnie move of the day.




Now about email investigations, perhaps this is one worth actually doing. Just a thought.




This is what America should be.



Trump's big lie for the day. Russians, what Russians? Oh, those Russians.



Just out of curiosity, I wonder if Donnie knows about voter suppression in those states he won by "double, double, double digits"? I wonder if he understands that most voters voted for someone else?



What's interesting about this is that it might actually be true. We are unsure just how insecure our President is. We are unsure just how needy he is. We are unsure just how detached from reality he is. We are unsure just how bizarre his tweets might become. We are unsure just how much damage he might do to American interest over some deranged thought. Is it time to remove him now?



What should those who actually believe in American values do when Canadians are more American that Americans? Just wondering.




Donnie, about that "historic" election you won, there seems to be an issue with actual Americans.



Now about the whole fake news and polls thing, I've got a few questions for Trump.



Donnie, About that whole America first thing. Can you explain this to me? Just curious.

 
Ryan seems to be a bit confused about the way the calendar actually works. It turns out that no matter how much you avoid an issue it just doesn't go away and 2018 will happen no matter how hard you run. Just saying.

According to the latest CNN poll, 90% of Republicans approve of the way Trump has handled the presidency thus far. Often left out of the media narrative are the reasons why Republicans feel this way. GOP voters look to the President and see a litany of accomplishments: a soaring stock market, withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, elimination of job-killing regulations, expedited permit approval, a hiring freeze on nonessential federal workers and a task force for reducing violent crime, among others. All this in just three weeks.

Trump didn't do that. It is time, past time, that the President be compelled to behave ethically. Remember these Republicans in 2018.

A Lifelong Republican Ex-Judge Just Called For Trump’s ImpeachmentNow about impeachment. Is it still a Democrat thing or is it an American thing.


Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.
It is no longer arguable that the 2016 Presidential election is free or fair. It was not. Rather interference by Russia and the FBI likely had a significant impact on the result. This event is unprecedented in US history. There is no Constitutional provision or precedent for how to proceed. Nonetheless it is time to address it. Trump is clearly an illegitimate President (never mind his incompetence) and should be removed. A second election is one possibility as is reconvening the electoral college. Whatever the remedy, the current situation is intolerable.

It’s Official: The CIA and DOJ Believe Trump’s Team Is Under Russian Blackmail  Is it time to impeach yet?

Top Lawmakers Just DEMANDED A Full Investigation Into Flynn and Trump Team   Every House Democrat that is a member of the Committee for Oversight of Government Affairs just signed a letter addressed to Republican Chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz with a simple message: Lead an investigation of disgraced former Gen. Michael Flynn or get out of the way.  How about now? Is it time to impeach now? In less than a month there are now two Congressional investigations of what is likely the most overtly corrupt and dishonest Presidency in US history.

While the news business has been busy reporting about the White House 24/7, the question remains as to whether the new administration has actually done anything worthy.  The answer? According to POLITICO Trump has done a whole lot of nothing. There's this cautionary tale about emperors and clothes that seems relevant to Donnie and Friends.

Flynn’s Resignation Letter Just Implied Trump Was Aware Of His Treason

While Trump scandals mount, Chaffetz decides to investigate... a cartoon character  So it's OK in Chaffetz's view for Flynn to violate the law. It's OK for Conway to violate the law. It's OK for Trump to have ties to Russia. It's OK to waste million investigating Clinton. But, it's NOT OK for the CDC to actually do their job. Really! Not how about that 11% Congressional approval rating. Just wondering.

Rep. Chaffetz (R-Utah), the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman who praised the 28-month investigation into the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi that yielded zero evidence of wrongdoing by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, told reporters on Tuesday that he would not investigate allegations against Michael Flynn, saying the situation was “taking care of itself.” Instead, Chaffetz deflected to the Rep. Devin Nunes (R-California), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, saying the responsibility to investigate any wrongdoing fell on his shoulders. However, Rep. Nunes has only promised to investigate the leaks of details about General Flynn’s call with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador to the United States, rather than Flynn himself, according to CNN’s Jake Tapper.  This is your Congress at work. Perhaps it's time to change Congress to get one with an approval rating above 11%.
