I do NOT believe this; it is wishful thinking and a propaganda piece to influence the lilly-livered poltroons in the GOP.

I don’t think that even Bitch McConnell would dare try this.

The Cheap Labor Express owns enough Senators to get this done.

Impeachment occurs in the House of Representatives. Ask Bill Clinton.

"...there would blood in the streets and the end of the republic.

This is sedition.

We will be ticked off but will go to work. Conservatives never fight back, even when attacked.
