The Senate is the real problem, as demonstrated here.

John Brennan has dirt on every politician, and took it with him when he was fired. It was his life’s mission. They are ALL being blackmailed.

Men? I didn’t know they were men. I thought they were eunuchs.

Fire Sessions, Rosenstein and Mueller in one day. Make Pruitt Acting AG. Dare them to try to impeach him. Campaign against any Republican who supports impeachment or even an investigation. Go on the offensive.

Didn’t this jerk take an oath to support the Constitution?

I’ve never seen a party sell out it’s rank and file like the Republican party today is

The democrats are monolithic and the republicans are diverse and diversity makes us stronger, right?

Make sure to call these “men” if you’re from their state and let them know what you think

I have called and written Sen. Burr's office many times. All I can tell you is it's a total waste of time. His form letters and "working for the American people" boilerplate is so much hogwash. These pols don't give a flying flip about what the people think.

They know the system is rigged heavily in favor of machine politicians and incumbents.

I'm done with it all. A s***storm is coming and i'm prepared to deal with it and/or meet my maker. Whichever comes first.

Impeachment is one thing. An actual trial for removal is an entirely different thing.

Unless it is a joke trial like the last one.

including at least 35% of the electorate that will support him no matter what.

Some of those people are not exactly "die hard Trumpbots", either. At this point, I view the Mueller/Rosenstein witch-hunt, along with any attempt at impeachment as treason; as an attack on our Constitution. It isn't about holding wrong-doers accountable. It's about destroying the duly elected President, and about destroying the office of the Presidency. Mueller, Rosenstein, and their cronies are "domestic enemies".

Trump would veto such a bill and they would not have the votes to override.

Sadly they probably would in the Senate. House may depend on what was offered. Congress is not made up of patriots.


If the president is innocent,
he should act like it.

Nothing screams ‘ball gargler’ like Trey Gowdy. Ok, maybe lindsay graham.

Right!

Just like how they couldn't block President Trump's sole right to decide what countries may send immigrants!

It seems to me that would be one reasoned description. It does seem to fairly well address what is taking place today in on line of thought.

I might address it more as our leadership being almost monolithic in their beliefs, and yet diversified in their choice of parties, however it baffles me why any of them register as Republicans. They all seem to be of a mind to back Leftist policy across the board.

Are there any clearly defined principle differences any longer?

Both look at our business climate and see very little difference between them.

Both look at abortion and see very little difference between them.

Both look at religion and seem to see very little difference.

Both see our universities and K-12th grade schools and find no fault with them worthy of fixing.

Both see it their mandate to open the flood gates with abortion.

I’m sure you can thing of examples too. It’s amazing to watch.

Both see groups like Soros and company, Black Lives Matter, and ANTIFA, and see no major problem there.

Both see our media and thing things are very healthy there.

For decades they both saw trade with China and saw no problems at all. No objection was voiced and no action was taken to remedy the major problems with it.

Both saw the provision of all our patents and business secrets to China as a good thing. Neither party found fault with this.

Just before elections some issues are clearly defined and after them the parties resolve their issues to do exactly what had been taking place before.

RINO’s in the house and senate are doing everything in their power to destroy Donald Trump.
They passed the Omnibus 1.3 trillion line democrat’s pocket bill and they refused to compromise on the wall, immigration, or Obamacare. They won’t even do anything about censorship of conservation speech in all the schools and IT monopolies Google, Facebook, and Amazon.

If i didn’t know better i would say their objective is the compete extermination of their own political base.

I hate to say it but theses people must be removed from office, they are actively working to destroying the party, and tier own supporters. Maybe they hired traitorous advisors maybe they just buy everything the deep-state leftist around them say. What they do and don’t do means there is no future for them, or freedom in this country.

Right--a law has to be signed by the President, and I don't think they can get a two-thirds vote in both houses to override a veto.

But the Republican leadership have probably promised Mueller that if Trump fires him, they will start impeachment proceedings. Which would explain why Mueller seems to be acting as outrageously as possible hoping that Trump will fire him.

The Republican senators had better be protecting The President, not Mueller. Those who fail to provide protection for Trump will face the wrath of the voter at election time.
