(7,006 posts)The reveal behind the 2017 Meeting with the Russians in the White House, The Server Hiding of the Call with the Saudi's AFTER the murder of an American/Arab Journalist. Ukraine is horrible but these two above being published TONIGHT is like the House is on Fire.
Trump is going down....

(7,006 posts)Starting tomorrow, the Republicans behind closed walls in Washington, D.C. are going to be looking to make a deal. The deal will be to let the Democrats Eat Trump and his Family Alive. Install Mike Pence as POTUS. Pence meanwhile -- while the rightful eating of the Trump's are going on - will offer Trump a lifeline: A Pardon (vis a vie - Nixon with Ford).
The problem is for the GOP -- the Democrats need to let Pence if necessary be installed....then quickly in a flash, take Traitor Pence down too. The behind closed walls deal of the GOP will be burnt toast and the Republican Party will be NO MORE for the next 40 years.
And these TRAITORS DESERVE NOTHING LESS!

(5,376 posts)If the Republicans try this, Trump will reveal everything that Pence is involved in. His ego won't accept Pence taking his place, even with a promised pardon. If Trump goes down, I expect a scorched Earth, where he demolishes everyone else in his administration.

(59,503 posts)If Trump is impeached, I assume that if it becomes clear that Pence also committed high crimes, they would follow the Agnew example. The tough question is who could be Ford in this very polarized country. Also, this is all happening going into an election year or in an election year.

(6,110 posts)He even fights every lawsuit to the bitter end even when sure to lose the case.
He is a stubborn, arrogant bitch. My guess is he will have to be impeached and convicted in senate before he leaves the white house.

(12,377 posts)It has a different feel to that, add in the social media thing now, with people sharing the news
in a second, and its been happening really really fast. This is no slow burn.
Trumps days are numbered.
brettdale
(12,377 posts)I say it will be sooner.
The dems cant lead it to chance, as Mike said on Breaking Bad, "No half measures"
If they have the evidence that he needs to be impeached, he has to be impeached.

(706 posts)Some republican senators may threaten him but he will not resign and they will not convict. They all lose their jobs if they do and they know it.

I think a lot of people are cautiously hopeful.
