The Impeachment process is about wether or not the President is a no good lying , corrupt, law breaking, fucking asshole. If the answer is yes, you impeach him.
Trump is all of the above. The Democrats will impeach in the House and the Republicans in the Senate will have to decide wether or not to protect all of the above. If they protect all of the above it would destroy them politically.
Eliot Rosewater
(31,097 posts)he would have been impeached the day after inauguration given the MOUNTAIN of emoluments clause violations he was guilty of.
And if it is NOT emoluments, technically, making money off of businesses you own because your actions AS PRESIDENT caused them to profit, what is it called?
Whatever it is called you can bet every dime you have ANY democrat owning what this criminal owns becoming prez is impeached.
WAIT, we wouldnt need to impeach a Democrat doing the same thing. NO WAY in hell does a democrat in that situation get nominated, our party are not traitorous fools.

We don't expect the Senate to actually impeach since it is dominated by the NRA/russian-funded repuglicons. History will judge them also. As well as the real American people during the next rounds of Senate votes. (Forget those steaming idiots on fux/etc. who get all the press.)
