NYT Nicholas Kristof: How Can We Get Rid of Trump?
The New York Times ^ | FEBRUARY 18, 2017 | Nicholas Kristof

Posted on 02/18/2017 5:25:30 PM PST by AC Beach Patrol

We’re just a month into the Trump presidency, and already so many are wondering: How can we end it?

One poll from Public Policy Polling found that as many Americans — 46 percent — favor impeachment of President Trump as oppose it. Ladbrokes, the betting website, offers even odds that Trump will resign or leave office through impeachment before his term ends.

Sky Bet, another site, is taking wagers on whether Trump will be out of office by July.

There have been more than 1,000 references to “Watergate” in the news media in the last week, according to the Nexis archival site, with even some conservatives calling for Trump’s resignation or warning that he could be pushed out. Dan Rather, the former CBS News anchor who covered Watergate, says that Trump’s Russia scandal isn’t now at the level of Watergate but could become at least as big.

“...and probably part of a plan to lay the groundwork for impeachment or resignation of Trump.”

Not happening...simply because it requires REPUBLICANS to abandon Trump. And don’t get me wrong - Ryan would JUST LOVE to see Trump gone, so that he can move in on the White House.

But just one BIG PROBLEM - and that is WE, THE TRUMP BASE!!!

If Trump is driven out of the White House, we go with him...to wherever that may be - and so do our 40 to 50 million votes. The Republicans, as a national party, would be FINISHED.

And the GOPe understands that full-well - and that is the ONLY REASON Trump wasn’t taken out in the Convention. The GOPe, the Dems, and the Media have to first find a way to break OUR BOND with Trump - to make us wish Trump will simply go away.

...and that is simply not possible. The ONLY PERSON that can break our bond is Trump himself, if he double-crosses us on something important, like Amnesty - then all bets regarding Trump’s survival are off. But, so far, all signs point the other way...so the left is stuck with Trump and there is NOTHING they can do about it.

Don’t sweat it...if it’s published in the NY Times or any other major media outlet, there is NOTHING WRONG with posting it here. We need to track what the left is thinking and doing, or we won’t be able to fight them.

Keep up the good work!!!

I think we are going to have to live through their immature tantrum for years.

However, there is an element of evil among the liberals and we would do well to keep a close watch on them all. We probably have no conception of the depth of their vile treachery.

One great approach would be to investigate them all and tie up all their energies defending themselves. We could delve into their lives and publicize all their corruption.

W’s big mistake was that he wouldn’t defend himself and the whole GOP was too ladylike to get themselves dusty helping him.

Trump has shown us we have to fight back. It won’t be pretty. It will be distasteful. But we have to do it for our grandchildren. This is America’s last chance.

Those of you with the means to investigate and shine the spotlight on liberal hypocrisy and wrongdoing, please consider doing so.

This is the kind of thinking that drives traitors to sell out their nation to their enemies.

They think they are doing the right thing for their compatriots, but they end up condemning everyone.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

Parent companies include: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner. Don’t patronize those that piss in your shoes.

How can we get rid of the New York Times?


You cannot. But you can use it to line your bird cage.

How about GOOGLE? At one point GOOGLE NEWS had a news category of EXECUTIVE ORDERS, like SCIENCE, or SPORTS. Right now I don’t see it, but their news format is in a state of flux, they’ve got a bunch of stuff about “suggested for me”, which is kind of frightening.

... and good luck doing a Google search on “Google News executive orders” eh?

Well, here, this is just as outrageous, and I did a screen shot:
I love that "As Absurd as it Gets" ... "We're sorry if you got that impression".

I believe Trump was chosen by God Himself to lead this nation at this moment in time and have a calmness come about me when I realize this. They cannot and will not take this man down. He is protected by armies of angels.

Former Asst. U.S. Attorney in Manhattan district claims in a piece today that the FBI investigation of Flynn and interviewing him (they had the phone call transcript) is highly suspicious and probably part of a plan to lay the groundwork for impeachment or resignation of Trump.

What part of "they're going to have to impeach President Trump, and tens of millions of Americans who voted for him, too" don't they understand?

They'd better start praying to whatever gods they worship that NOTHING happens to President Trump.

He was an @asslamprey for the Clintons during the impeachment wars.

He needs a big ol' basket of fresh knuckle sandwiches.

I find it odd that no one has beaten that lying scumbag Danny Rather until he pukes blood.

There’s a huge problem with getting rid of Trump: you still have the Trump supporters who are even more devoted and growing in numbers.

A better question is how can we get rid of the propaganda arm of the dem party which includes the NYT, WaPo, CNN, and others? They are clearly not professional enough to be able to be a news outlet; this much they have proven time and time again.

Do these lyin scum not operate under a license granted by our FCC? Certainly OTA broadcasters do. Pull their damned license!
