Let me ponder it before I respond more thoughtfully.

Initially, it's a frightening proposition. Trump is fundamentally a survivalist. He will do anything, say anything and spend anything to fight.

We could be in for a rough ride.

Unfortunately he got sick and we didn’t go to the party. But I was going to buy two large white shirts and fashion a strait jacket. Hopefully next year MF45 will be gone and my hubby won’t have to wear that costume.

What really matters if the Senate has enough votes to remove. Then we'll see what happens.

We will see the most apoplectic tantrum in the history of the presidency. He will call it "an illegal witch hunt, hoax" by evil radical socialist democrat libruls who want to destroy the country and the majestic greatness that is donald trump. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. He may need to be restrained before he harms Barron.

He's going to lash out. He will get in front of news cameras, probably physically attack a couple female reporters, call people nasty names, accuse everyone of plotting against him, and on and on.

It will be quite the spectacle.

He’ll call it a “fake impeachment” and claim it doesn’t really count because it’s a witch hunt.

That will need to be one of the penalties levied against him.

Remind him that Secret Service will be instructed to use whatever force is necessary to remove him.

31. Did you ever see "Revenge of the Nerds"?
Sun Nov 3, 2019, 09:23 PM
Nov 2019

Unfortunately, I couldn't find this scene on YouTube, but I'll describe it: The "outcast" houses, Lambda Lambda Lambda (Tri-Lamb) and Omega Mu, have won the Greek Games and taken control of the Greek Council. In response, the Trump-like football coach incites his players, all of whom are in the "Alpha Beta" frat, to destroy the Tri-Lamb house.

Trump might try that shit if he's kicked out of office. He doesn't have nearly as many followers as he wants you to believe he does, but they're permanently pissed off and they have guns.

And remember, at the end of the film the Alpha Betas were thrown out of their own house by the college president and forced to rebuild the Tri-Lamb house while the A-Bs lived in the gym.

My recommendation: we've got a perfectly good federal prison sitting in the middle of San Francisco Bay. It's got three levels of cells. With about 150 gallons of paint and a new plumbing system, a new kitchen, and a couple of freight elevators to bring food and medical supplies to the upper tiers, we can incarcerate the entire Trump Administration at Alcatraz on levels 2 and 3 and continue with the prison's educational mission on the ground floor. And with a little work, we can even make this pay: allow tourists to dine on whatever they're feeding the Trump Administration that day for a reasonable fee (say, $20 per diner) and use the profits to help pay for the Administration's life sentences.
