Right on, Rob Reiner!

[kpete]

Each day this mentally unstable man takes a step closer to destroying 242 yrs. of self rule. And though Democrats want to be restrained, impeachment is inevitable. Then GOP Senators will have to make a choice. Either protect Democracy or continue to enable an ignorant criminal.

1. K&R for visibility. nt

[PhrankT]

2. Thanks Mr Reiner

[Ernesto]

6. Me too!

[riversedge]

3. I have no illusion-the Repugs will not vote to protect Democracy. NOPE!

[pecosbob]

5. I'm beginning to think they might

when their donor class calls for it. The market may be the straw.

[DENVERPOPS]

9. How do you know

How do you know that crashing the market, (once again), and blaming it on Trump isn't part of their great plan.
The big money sells short, makes money all the way down, (once again), buy back in at the bottom and then wait for all the masses to build it up again.........that exact scenario seems to have happened every 5-10 years in the past thirty years. It would fit in perfectly as desert for their massive tax cut entree Trump and the Republicans in Congress recently bestowed upon all of them!

[erronis]

13. Yes, this. Doesn't matter about the blame game. Just crash the markets, steal from the normal

investors, profit.

Baine Capital (RMoney) modus-operandi. Along with Goldman-Sachs, etc. They don't get hurt by massive swings.

Who's going to regulate this?
The US gov't? Not their job.
The Federal Reserve? Made up of the wealthy.
The SEC? Foxes guarding the hen house.

Suckers.

[Progressive Jones]

19. Like you said, every 5-10 years. It's a continuous scam. It was planned that way.

The only way left for the big players to make money is to steal it from us. They don't produce any consumer products, and they only sell tickets to the game to the other big players. We are fucked if we don't put the clamps on things quickly.

[mcar]

4. Not just Dotard

The Republican party is completely corrupted. They care nothing for this country or the people in it.

[BHDem53]

7. Mr Reiner played Meathead

on television and spanky plays a meathead in real life. Sad. Bigly. Smocking. Covfefe.

[watoos]

8. When Mueller gives his report,

35-40 Republican Senators will vote for impeachment.

[Wounded Bear]

10. K & R...nt

[warmfeet]

11. Rob Reiner is a treasure.

I love him.

[grantcart]

17. Yes and he had a rough week with Penny Marshall's passing.

[rurallib]

12. The Republican Party and their predecessors have never voted for democracy

Why would anyone think they would if it came to an either/or situation? They don't care. They will be in the ruling class or so they think.

[Susan Calvin]

14. I have been married nearly 1/5 of the time quoted.

And alive for more.

This travesty must end.

[Shoonra]

15. Let the Republicans initiate the impeachment ....

It's far too facile for the Democrats to propose impeaching the Prez of the opposite party ... and also for the opposite party to resist the proposal (with their Senate majority) when the Democrats make it. Rather, let the Republicans reach the point where they cannot pretend or defend any more, and where they want to redeem themselves and their party in the voters' eyes - and then it will be very easy.

[Honeycombe8]

16. True. Those GOP Senators had better do the right thing for the country. nt

[Scarsdale]

18. At the rate Putin has

tRump moving, it will be too late. We are doomed, with the gop "hoping for the best". All of them are mired in Russian money, and are terrified they will be exposed and lose their cushy positions.

[Progressive Jones]

20. So be it. It's time for some house cleaning. Any corruption, regardless of which side of the

Any corruption, regardless of which side of the aisle, needs to go now more than ever. It's time to start drawing hard lines.

[Scarsdale]

21. As long as $$$$ are front and center

in politics, things will never change. When a person like Corker can enter the government plagued by debt then retire as the richest man in the group, there will be no change. We only get the "best reps. that money can buy" Then they take care of themselves, ignoring ordinary people. The lobbyists are the people who get what their employers want. The rest of us are just the fools who are taken in by false promises. This perfectly explains WHY tRump is so revered by the gop. He conned his way into the WH, with plenty of cash from Russia. They took their share, too. They knew he was a dunce, EVERYONE knew his character yet they defended him and protected him. Now look at the mess they have caused by this orange mistake.

[Honeycombe8]

28. I know. How the hell did this happen. It didn't happen overnight.

To quote the old R&B song: How long has this been going on?

[oldlibdem]

22. they're are too afraid of the deplorable base to vote for conviction in the senate.

If lindsy Grahm voted to convict he'd be primaried so fast he would'nt know what hit him!

[Major Nikon]

23. At some point it becomes a Sophie's choice

They will have to decide between destroying Trump or destroying what's left of the GOP. Trump is gone in 2020 anyway so the best option for the country seems to be the latter.

[Honeycombe8]

29. In a sinking ship, it's every man for himself.

They don't care about the GOP. They care about themselves. If they can get rid of Trump and make their base happy with Pence, they just might do it.

But I don't know how Rush Limpballs and Ann Coulter feel about Pence.

[Major Nikon]

32. Trump's removal would be a tactical win, but arguably a strategic loss

Trump finishing out his term helps insure the rats go down with the ship.

[INdemo]

26. My God there are only about 34% that actually support Trump

Thrump will resign because of business reasons as part of a plea??? wishful thinking Merry Christmas everyone.

[Honeycombe8]

30. Trump is like a mob boss. They don't resign unless the alternative is worse.

I think Trump would have to be indicted, or the Republicans would have to convince him that they WILL impeach him, if he doesn't resign. Or a deal to let his children go without indictment, if he resigns. He won't give up power on his own. He thrives on it. He needs it. He'd consider it weak and shameful to resign.

[Nitram]

24. An impetuous, mentally ill, ignorant, criminal.

Did I leave something out? How about vindictive, sloppy, careless, childish, vain, incompetent, egotist.

[edhopper]

25. Yes!

I don't give a shit what the GOP Senators do. If a crime is committed, we must prosecute that crime.

[Honeycombe8]

31. It's unclear a sitting President can be indicted.

Heard by an expert pundit that there have been 3 cases that was decided...2 said no, one said yes.

They could file a secret indictment to take effect when he's out of office, but he might run in 2020...and win! The county would be finished off in the ensuing 4 years. And laws changed so he can never be indicted...or whatever a dictator would and could do.

[edhopper]

33. I meant

if the House discovers High Crimes by the POTUS, they must impeach.

[red dog 1]

27. Kick for exposure

Right on, Rob Reiner indeed!
