He's only going to be impeached should Democrats win the respective majorities in house and senate, in the midterms in 2018 I guess.
I'd say that with the way the redrawing of districts has proceeded, it's unlikely they manage.

The Republican congress is obviously not going to impeach their president.

And the letter is so unbelievably badly written lmao

As partisan as the Republicans are, if there's cold hard evidence that comes out of these investigations that implicate Trump, they'll have no choice but to impeach. They don't even ALL need to vote to impeach. They just need a few extra Republicans to vote along with the Democrats to impeach.

If there's a criminal indictment of Trump and they choose to do nothing, it will forever damage their reputation as a party. Part of the reason the Republican party was able to recover from Richard Nixon is that they had the majorities at the time and they put party aside to impeach him. If they turn a blind eye this time, they'll get swept away in the mid terms and lose both majorities. Quinnipiac already has Dems +16 (pre Comey firing) in the House if mid term elections were to be held today.

So don't rule it out. It all depends on what comes out of the investigations. Which is probably why Trump saw the need to fire Comey. Couldn't have made this whole shit up, I tell you.

Even with gerrymandering, it is possible to win the House in a landslide public opinion but not the Senate. The Senate maybe in 2020! In 2018, most of the seats defended are by Dems & around 10 are in Trump states, some by big margins. Assuming they retain all & win NV (which Hillary won) & Arizona (which HRC lost by 4-5% & Dems haven't win AZ Senate in many years), that is still 50-50.

Pence breaks the tie. So, among the deep red states, they can try Nebraska which is Very very unlikely or Texas (which looks like their best bet, a historical strong GOP state which they always win in strong double digits but HRC lost by only 9%). Texas vs Ted freaking lunatic Cruz is a very Very uphill battle & is probably not even worth wasting money, but atleast can be tried!

And, I find hard to believe Manchin or Heitkamp in the Dems will vote to impeach him. It will take something serious which is so bad & damaging that some moderate Republicans like Susan Collins or war-hawks like McCain & Graham will go along !

This is a party of lunatics. Every of them don't believe in climate change apart from Susan Collins & Graham & McCain. Only Collins opposed Scott Pruitt who is kicking academic scientists & is putting coal & chemical industry representative in EPL Scientific review board - This is a banana republic if you go by what GOP is doing !

For 1 year, they didn't let Garland, a centrist with a conservative voting record in many issues, get even a hearing & stole a SC seat. There is no expectation of decency from this bunch of lunatics. Everyone of them voted for Trump's horrendous Cabinet picks. Maybe Murkowski can be counted too (she voted against Betsy Devos). So, you can see 4 people being moved by a big scandal (& hopefully some others but don't count on it).

Thing is, they will jump ship re: Trump once it becomes politically favorable to do so. If Trump's fav polling tanks further and it starts to affect their mid term races, you'll see them jump ship. As ridiculous as the GOP are, a lot of them are only siding with Trump for 2 reasons: a) The voting base that voted for Trump are also essential to their re-election and they don't want to anger those voters b) They'll turn a blind eye to almost anything Trump does as long as he approves their tax cuts and signs any bill they put in front of him.

But on the 2nd point, if Pence becomes President, he will also sign whatever is put in front of him. So it's really just the voting base.

Can't make this shit up. Trump>>>>>Aladeen

Spends all campaign complaining about Hillary potentially leaking secrets on her private email server, proceeds to just tell them to the Russian embassador

Blasts the CIA because they claimed the dnc hacks were of Russian origin, questioning the competence of the organization, brags to the Russians about how he has the best intelligence... While divulging state secrets

News sources: "Trump told Russia our secrets."
White House officials: "No he didn't"
Trump: "Yes I did"


Still can't believe he admitted it on f'ing Twitter

Nah their denial was lawyer speak for "Yeah he did". It was something like "the events did not transpire as they were reported".

Might be the 115th time I've said this since 2016 but....you really can't make this shit up. What a time to be alive!

today's latest story:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/16/us/politics/james-comey-trump-flynn-russia-investigation.html?hp

According to Comey's memos, Trump asked Comey to end the investigation of Mike Flynn...

A Republican Senator invited Comey to testify publicly, which was what he was waiting for so maybe it's about to go down?

I cant say I follow these storys because its all boring shit tbh but what secrets did trump tell to Russia.

Only problem is I'm scared of a Pence presidency if it became a potential reality...

That's why I find it hard to be too upbeat about it. Sure Trump gone sounds nice and all but getting *bleep* Pence as a replacement isn't anything to look forward to.

so does anyone know what secrets trump gave to Russia ?

Unique wrote:I cant say I follow these storys because its all boring shit tbh but what secrets did trump tell to Russia.

Apparently it was something about how ISIS planned to use laptop batteries as airplane bombs. Nothing earth shattering, but apparently it has strained the relationship between the intelligence source (a different country) and the US, and it also makes US intelligence allies less likely to share info if they think it will either be divulged by Trump's whims or massively leaked to wikileaks as these things have happened in the past.

Unique you're asking if people KNOW what SECRETS Trump gave Russia

You really think anyone knows if they are secrets in a meeting between two very powerful nations the media wasn't invited to? Where some of the info if not much of it shared is classified?

If you're asking more generally, it had something to do with terrorism intelligence. Otherwise we don't know anything, no.

Apologies unique I was unnecessarily aggressive with that response. BC's informative and calm response illustrates why he's a mod and I'm a pleb
