It seems everyone wants their 15 seconds of fame and what ever the equivalent of a couple column inches in the paper might be. To bad they can’t come up with well written paragraphs that add to the confusion. This article is way too long.

You’d be happy if we lose the Congress, wouldn’t you?

Ditto. There is no problem with President Trump.

That first sentence shows me this person has nothing to say.

Dr Adams is worried about people like you and rightly so, because it is obvious that you don’t get it.

When he leads with BS like this

“Because the Republicans have decided to nominate a misinformed, unqualified, and unstable candidate it is now virtually guaranteed that Hillary Clinton will be our next president”,

I see no reason to lend credence to anything that follows.

I am sick of hearing that Trump is unqualified! Article II, Section 1 of the U.S. Constitution imposes only three eligibility requirements on persons serving as president – based on the officeholder’s age, time of residency in the U.S., and citizenship status. Under the Twelfth Amendment, the same three qualifications apply to the Vice President of the United States.

Only “natural-born” U.S. citizens (or those born abroad, but only to parents at least one of whom was a U.S. citizen at the time) may serve president of the United States, though from time to time that requirement is called into question, recently in the case of potential 2016 presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R - Texas), who was born in Canada to Cuban-born father and a U.S-born mother.

One must also be at least 35 years of age to be president. John F. Kennedy was the youngest person to be elected president; he was 43 years old when he was inaugurated in 1961. There is no maximum age limit set forth in the Constitution. Ronald Reagan was the oldest president; at the end of his term in 1988, he was nearly 77.

Finally, one must have lived in the United States for at least 14 years to be president, in addition to being a natural-born citizen. The Constitution is vague on this point. For example, it does not make clear whether those 14 years need to be consecutive or what the precise definition of residency is. So far, however, this requirement has never been challenged.
These are the only explicit criteria in the Constitution.

No, the spineless RINO's we have in there now are probably still nominally better than the democrats completely unchecked...

It is total BS.

She will not be impeached for the same reason obummer has not been.

Two major reasons:

DC is totally corrupt. DOJ example #1.

VP will be Kaine, no more acceptable than Joe Biden.

Nigerian Gilbert Chagoury was convicted in Switzerland of money laundering and of “aiding a criminal organization in connection with billions of dollars stolen from Nigeria.” Since his conviction he has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation. In 2009, after Hillary became Secretary of State, he pledged a whopping billion dollars to the Clintons.

It doesn't take many brain cells to conclude that an individual connected to stolen money pledging a billion dollars to the "do-good Clinton Foundation" is in desperate need of money laundering.

Bill Clinton's inveterate globe-trotting....and his 27 trips offshore to Pedo Island.....means the Clintons have money stashed all over the place.

In fact, L/E looking into Pedo Island underage sex activities found Bill Clinton and Doug Band had over 20 phone nos and email addies. L/E recognizes that as evidence of money laundering and tax evasion.

================================================

REFERENCE --- When he went to jail, investigators found Ponzi King Bernie Madoff had stashed billions offshore---into a labyrinth of financial entities.

COLLUSION AND CONSPIRACIES GALORE Some $8.9 billion was funneled to Madoff through a dozen so-called feeder funds based in Europe, the Caribbean and Central America......a labyrinth of hedge funds, management companies and service providers that, to unsuspecting outsiders, seemed to compose a formidable system of checks and balances.

But the purpose of this complex architecture was just the opposite: the feeder funds provided different modes for directing money to Madoff in order to avoid scrutiny.

The reason is simple: We have a case for impeaching Hillary Clinton beginning in January of 2017.”

Uh Mike, There is just One Big Problem, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Speaker of the House Ryan will be the ones DEFENDING HER, Not Impeaching Her.

"Dr Adams is worried about people like you and rightly so, because it is obvious that you don’t get it."

The first Clinton impeachment was a failure.It only made him more popular. If he thinks McCain,Flake, Ayotte,Kirk,Collins,Hatch will vote to convict he is the one that doesn't get it.

Also if all those fantasyland things came to pass Kaine is still picking the Supreme Court Justices

Shady offshore activity in Central America.....rings a bell....here's why:

Recent news reports say the notoriously greedy Clintons used their tax-exempt Clinton Foundation charity to setup a Romney-like money-making private equity fund in the corrupt country of Colombia.

Why Colombia?

WIKI REFERENCE---In 2000, the Clinton administration committed $1.3 billion in foreign aid to the corrupt country of Colombia...... and up to five hundred military personnel to train local forces. An additional three hundred civilian personnel were allowed to assist in the eradication of coca.

The Clinton deal was an addition to $330 million of previously approved US aid to Colombia. $818 million was earmarked for 2000, with $256 million for 2001.

The Clinton-era appropriations for his Colombia Plan made Colombia the third largest recipient of foreign aid from the United States at the time.

--SNIP--

As of 2008, the U.S. has provided nearly $1.3 billion to Colombia through Clinton Plan Colombia nonmilitary aid programs:

<><> Alternative Development (2000-2008 cost: $500 million)

<><> Internally Displaced Persons (2000-2008 cost: $247 million)

<><> Demobilization and Reintegration (2000-2008 cost: $44 million)

<><> Democracy and Human Rights (2000-2008 cost: $158 million)

<><> Promote the Rule of Law (2000-2008 cost: $238 million)

LONG READ--REST AT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plan_Colombia

==============================

04/16/2008----Former President Bill Clinton has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars speaking on behalf of a Colombia-based group pushing the trade pact, and representatives of that organization tell The Huffington Post that the former president shared their sentiment.

In June 2005, Clinton was paid $800,000 by the Colombia-based Gold Service International to give four speeches throughout Latin America. The organization is, ostensibly, a development group tasked with bringing investment to the country and educating world leaders about the Colombia’s business opportunities.

The group’s chief operating officer, Andres Franco, said in an interview that the group supports the congressional ratification of the free trade agreement and that, when Clinton was on his speaking tour, he expressed similar opinions. “He was supportive of the trade agreement at the time that he came, but that was several years ago.

In the present context, I don’t know what his position would be. It is not only about union trade rights. It is about what benefit or damage it can do to the US economy,” said Franco. “Events with the Clinton campaign [concerning Mark Penn] are not good at all for the trade agreement... Right now it became a campaign issues and that is sad, because it needs to go through.”

The comments were supported by a June 23, 2005 article from the news portal Terra (uncovered by Ben Smith at Politico) in which Clinton offered unambiguous support for the free trade agreement with Colombia.

They appear to be the first public indication that Clinton has, at least in the past, supported the trade deal. But evidence that the former president has been sympathetic to Colombia’s position is widely known. In 2007, Clinton met personally with and accepted an award from Colombia’s controversial president, Alvaro Uribe, during a time when the country was attempting to improve its image within the United States.

Subsequently, Clinton urged Congress to view the country in a more favorable light.

Moreover, Clinton has helped Frank Giustra, one of the biggest donors to the Clinton Global Initiative, score meetings with high-ranking Colombian officials. Giustra has several business interests in the country, and both he and Clinton have collaborated on an effort to (cough) "fight poverty in developing world by partnering up with mining companies in Colombia and elsewhere." http://nypost.com/2008/12/19/bubba-sheik-ing-the-money-tree/

==============================================

Ut oh, Obama's asking for billions to eradicate coca in Central America (cue govt fraud machine).

Logically Mike should be in the “anybody but Cankles” camp, but he seems to prefer Cankles to Trump, he just wants to impeach her right away.

Strange.

The point of Dr Adams is that if Hillary Rotten Clinton is elected, which could be very likely that an impeachment is not possible if we lose Congress and especially the Senate. Hillary will not be impeached

This op-ed by Dr Adams requires careful reading and he is exactly right

DOCTOR Adams? Oh let's be sure to give him ALL possible due respect here, you think he's right about this?

" Because the Republicans have decided to nominate a misinformed, unqualified, and unstable candidate it is now virtually guaranteed that Hillary Clinton will be our next president."

The mod should pull down this anti-Trump thread by an anti-Trump 'RAT sympathizer, and YOU should figure out what resort Cincinnatus Wife is staying in for the duration, and join her for margaritas this afternoon.
