Your preference for Trump? IMPEACHMENT or the proverbial DEATH BY 1000 CUTS?

I prefer the long, slow, delicious twisting in the wind of the orange anal wart, as he watches his taxes exposed, his fraudulent businesses brought down, his children indicted, Melania's true back story plastered all over the internet, his kids that no one knows about brought to light, all of his cronies, henchmen and co-conspirators doing the perp walk...
He wanted a parade, he should get it!
The PENITENTIARY PARADE marching through Washington EVERY SINGLE DAY for the next 2 years.
Impeachment? No thanks. That's like getting stuffed at Thanksgiving then starving the rest of the year. DEATH BY A THOUSAND CUTS would be like the never ending buffets on a really good cruise ship.

Look, we all know what you mean, the colloquialism involved, but ... I'd bet $$$ to donuts this site is combed over by the Secret Service on a very regular basis ... and as such, I'd recommend against saying ANYthing that could even remotely be interpreted as 'physically threatening' towards POTUS.

Maybe I'm being paranoid, but personally, I studiously avoid doing so.

Just a thought

no need to unintentionally invite a visit from the secret service. Besides we don't EVER suggest violence in any form in any way on any one. We are better than that.

He and his minions will cry foul if there's an impeachment, and the process will take about as long as it would to wait for Nov 2020.

I'm enjoying his world unraveling and I'd love for the guy to lose his job from the will of the people.......er electorate.

Like Eddie Murphy's character in "Trading Places", Billy Valentine said, the best way to hurt rich people is to make them poor. I would love to see the Trumps and all of their associates be on the receiving end of the very kind of shit they've dished out to othes for decades.

I'm afraid impeachment will turn him into a martyr. I want his name smeared for all eternity. I want the name "trump" to become synonymous with corruption and ineptitude. I want there to be no doubt of his traitorous, incompetent administration, and I want all those who enabled him -- especially his party -- to be tarnished with the stench of his name for generations to come.

So that even the most strident supporter can't argue it was the democrats that did him in. All his shity deeds need to be brought into the open for all to see and understand. Impeach? No, that is pointless without the senate. But exposing him as a fraud? Priceless.

Once everything is out in the open, THEN if it appears we have the votes in the Senate to remove him, impeach. In the meantime, make his every day worse than the one before it for month after month.

Then once we're through with him, let NY state go after him.

Mostly because I don't think anything -- including irrefutable evidence of murder or treason -- would get enough Senate GOPers to actually vote for removal to make it a reality.

And so in that case impeachment is mostly symbolic, and I think the exposure and destruction of his businesses is a better symbol and better schadenfreude-wise.

At this point in time we cannot get an conviction in the Senate. The GOP Senators are part of the collusion problem. It would be silly to waste the time and the political capital with impeachment.

It would tire out the voters and there would be no clean resolution. I do not see it as a winning solution. I actually see it as a big losing proposition.

If Mueller reports direct conversations of Trump and Putin agreeing to illegal acts they'll still say it's all made up and not true.

impeachment without a slam dunk removal is dangerous. Even with removal you have Pence.

So we are off to the hearings! Publicize every lawsuit against him over and over.

I have lost count myself. If he resigns good. Make sure this disaster reflects poorly on the GOP.

bankrupt and unable to live in Trump tower or anywhere except a regular house. Oweing so much money in settlements that it takes up most of the money he gets as a ex pres.

I want to see something happen so his base turns on him and won’t buy his books and he gets blacklisted in Hollywood and from even Fox.

I don’t think any judge will send him to prison but would love to see him get house arrest for at least ten years in a regular house. Just that alone without his fancy digs and no golf would kill him slowly.

Tue Nov 13, 2018, 04:58 PM
Nov 2018

1. Impeachment a certainty, a conviction not so much.
2. State criminal trials with all that drama on Court TV is more of a guarantee.
3. He's so earned a slow painful loss of life and wealth.
4. Impeachment without Pence included leaves . . . . Pence. No thank you.
5. I want Trump to watch his children, esp. Ivanka get convicted with him.
6. I hate him so much that this could come close to soothing my nerves since November, 2016.

Congressional investigations that cause thousands of cuts, so many that he has no chance at the 2020 nomination, and then articles of impeachment and hearings because ITS THE RIGHT THING TO DO to defend the Constitution.

Indictments and convictions once he out of office, of course.

But I have a feeling that it will be seen as a partisan issue (hell we can impeach a president over a BJ).

I'd rather see death by 1000 cuts. This administration needs to die a slow and painful death, not peacefully in its sleep.
