President Trump is finally on the verge of being impeached — a fate he has richly deserved since he fired James B. Comey as FBI director on May 9, 2017, to stop the investigation of his campaign’s ties to Russia. So why am I so depressed and worried?
In part because there is no chance of Trump being convicted. Tim Alberta of Politico calculates that, at best, only five Senate Republicans might vote to remove him despite ironclad evidence of guilt. Having survived impeachment, Trump could win reelection. He is almost certain to lose the popular vote, probably by a bigger margin than in 2016, but he could squeeze out another electoral college victory.

However, the Republic just might.
Boot needs the boot.
The thing that the American Republic can’t survive is the dictatorial commie/media/Deep State coup against the elected president.
In fact, I’m not sure the American Republic can survive with such a large cohort of traitors within its permanent bureaucracy and amongst the voting public.
Max Boot should get a max boot up his a$$, bouncing him all the way back to his hometown of Moscow.
Oh no, America is turning into a Republic under Trump!

So Boot learned “history” at Berzerkly? That would be some interesting reading.
The Compost only believes in democracy when elections go their way.
My take is that our democracy as we know it will effectively end when he is out of office, be it 2021 or 2025. I see western civilization in general as being on its last legs and, economically, successfully kicking the can down the road for far longer than they should have been able to.
But once he’s out, I think western civilization’s days will be severely numbered. I see it as almost a global “russian/french style” revolution.
SO yes, we can survive another term. What we can’t survive is the globalists winning.
I think you’d be sadly amazed how many people don’t get the distinction...
Probably meant “How much more awesomer will the US be after a Trump 2nd term”. As far as dumb-ocracy, we ain’t. Take a civics lesson dumbass. Until then max-——FAH-Q!
I don’t give a rats ass about democracy! We have a Constitutional Republic and it is thriving at leaps and bounds with a President Trump and will continue to do so despite the Democrats and the Washington Post trying to drag it down!
America will be just fine under it’s last republican President.
If you notice that his degrees are “Arts” not science.
They are the Equivalent of basket weaving
It will end with a whimper, not a bang.
Sometime between 2025 and 2035 socialists will become an operating electoral majority, and will simply vote in all of the stuff we abhor.
By then they’ll be too few of us, who will be too old, to stop it.
Looks like Boot doesn’t appreciate being moved out of the USSR by his parents, since he wants to recreate that old entity in the USA. The USSR’s totalitarian regime was based on what Lenin called “democratic centralism”.
No, but the constitutional Republic will do just fine!
Translation: Will the Deep State’s gravy train survive a second Trump term?
The colonists who came through danger to these shores in the 17th Century understood what lack of religious freedom meant; they understood what it was like for themselves and their kin to labor and have the fruits of their labors confiscated; they had understood the denigration associated with not being able to express deeply-held convictions and religious beliefs; and they longed to be free from the burdens of oppressive government.
At any rate, they came to America, and without any government in that vast wilderness to command them, to advise them, to restrict them, they played out their role in what has been called "the making of America," or, by others, "the miracle of America."
Just think of it: from 1620 or so until 1775, individual colonists who survived the harsh conditions in their new land had established an economy that was feeding the Old World.
If any do not believe that, they have not read Edmund Burke's Speech of Conciliation . . . delivered before the British Parliament in 1775.
Every Democrat and Republic leader today needs to read Burke's summary of the unheard-of economic achievements of that British Colony known as "the Americans."
What does all this have to do with Trump and the reluctant Republicans and the resistant Democrats?
Well, if they understood how and what the Years 1775 and 1776 meant, and how that band of strangers in a relatively new society dealt with the situation they found themselves in, and how they responded to courageous and outspoken fellow citizens who appealed to their love and desire for individual freedom and prosperity, then perhaps we could break this cultish and stupid ideology which self-identifies as being "Progressive," when, in fact, it is the most oppressive ideology to take root in the minds of American citizens! It is so oppressive that if allowed to continue, such authoritarian and group-think control will destroy the Constitutional Republic the men and women of 1776 and 1787 left to us and all of humanity.
