What will it take to impeach this asshole? Something is wrong in America that this idiot is the resident in the White House!
It is apalling that Mrs. Clinton did not win, but the election was rigged in favour of this clown!

Alice11111
(5,730 posts)but, I hear you. Elijah Cummings, Cory Booker, Maxine Waters, E Warren and more. Much of the problem is the Dems have no power. They aren't the commitee heads. Moderates have been expelled from the executive branch, and the Justice Dept. They wouldn't approve Obama's fed jusges, now all of those spaces are going to get filled w extreme RWers

(5,704 posts)something was wrong with the results. How the fuck the elections in the most powerful counrry on earth could be hacked and it did. Same shit like Gore and Clinton. How the fuck could an asshole like trump get elected? Comey and the Russians got the orange idiot elected and the media. MSNBC and CNN are 80% responsible for this jackass to be elected and now the jackass calling them the opposition, not sorry for them. They helped him to win!

(6,994 posts)Ever Since the New Deal, Social Security and all other Democratic social programs that were enacted Republicans have been trying to destroy them and now is their chance. If Trump would appoint Putin as Secretary of Defense Republicans would say Putin had a change of heart because they will not Impeach him. They need their Puppet to destroy these programs and will Destroy our Democracy to get their way.
Republicans are not the GOP and haven't been for many years.

Every one in America need repreentation but unfortunately, their eleted representatives do not represent them! When you elect someoe one, tht person should represent you, unfrotuately, that is not what is happenening right now!
Dan
(3,551 posts)Select the people that will vote for you - you should not and can not use the term 'representative'.
We have a majority of the republic dictated too by an illegitimate minority.
akbacchus_BC
(5,704 posts)do they get to tell us to go fuck ourselves? We elect them and if they do not represent us, we should get to de-select them! Is that not how it works?
Dan
(3,551 posts)... where the redistricting has so corrupted the electoral process.
Your issue seems to refer to a process by which you vote for a candidate and once elected the representative pursues their own agenda. If memory serves me correctly, the Courts have decided that it is legal for the political creatures to lie to get elected. So, to your answer, we the public get to de-select (or vote out) House of Representatives every two years, President every four years, and Senators every six years. Yes, you can vote them out or de-select and that is the right that we have voters have at our disposal. Sadly, once elected the positions become almost lifetime appointments, and that is not their fault - it is our fault as voters that we have created and promoted a political class citizens. Where over time, what they represent is the right to ensure their re-election and their agenda is one that supports that primary goal. We, the voters, helped create this - because somewhere we forgot that representatives are citizens or our peers, not career politicians who have no localty but self interest.
INdemo
(6,994 posts)by Republicans ever since..FDR gave us Social Security and other social programs, unemployment insurance. JFK gave us Medicare (LBJ pushed it through) of course Obama gave us ACA. Republicans would like nothing more than to get rid of all of these programs and now have their best chance to do that with control of the White House, and Congress.
Republicans could care less about the poor.

(5,704 posts)This asshole in the white house is an abomination, have no clue how he got elected. But in hindsight, the elections was manipulated against Mrs. Clinton. She would have been elected without interference from the Russians and Clolmey! I wonder how he sleeps at night knowing that he interfered with Mrs. Clinton getting elected. These fuckers have no princilple!
Doreen
(11,686 posts)I will hold him in my heart. I promise you they are sleeping just fine because they made a very huge step to what they want. I think it is the people of this country that are not sleeping well.

Doreen
(11,686 posts)that I do not have children to worry about. I am sorry that you have to live with that fear. If you do not mind me asking what is your daughters situation that would qualify her for a boxcar ride? My qualification is that I am disabled.....and Buddhist.
Mountain Mule
(1,002 posts)I'm disabled and a buddhist, as well! Our days are most certainly numbered if all this madness continues. I feel very hopeless at times, too. My heart breaks for the 20 million Americans who are to be deprived of health insurance under Trump care.
That creature is NOT my president. America has no president. Instead, America is being ruled by a gang of wealthy Oligarchs who illegally seized power by turning traitor with the Russians. The rabble who support them are out for blood and nothing else.
These are desperate times for our country to say the least.
Doreen
(11,686 posts)and usually have good phrases to guide us through everything in life but I will be damned if I could find anything that would have a phrase to coincide with this screwed up situation. I mean yeah we have teachings about patience and understanding and acceptance and working for peacefulness among our fellow man. How do we explain this one though? I am still working on that and I will until I come to understanding it but that may be a very long time ( maybe a life or two more ) but all we can do is keep asking and stand by our fellow man.

Solly Mack
(90,762 posts)I agree. There is something wrong in my country that Trump is in the WH.
Our checks and balances are effectively non-existent. The GOP Congress does not care about what America represents but instead wants to turn it into something else entirely alien to our Constitution and our democracy.
Trump Inc. will go after the courts more.
He wants to be head of it all and not three separate but equal branches.

(5,704 posts)elected President. Are people so fucking dumb in America that this retard got elected against a saner person like Mrs. Clinton.
Just goes to show how many Americans are against change and want to support a racist.

There bias was so blatantly obvious they should have just said vote for hitler
akbacchus_BC
(5,704 posts)You know, you are so right! From day one when the MSNBC and CNN were giving coverage to that liar non stop, I said to myself, this is not good. They should have cut him off but no, they kept portraying him like a five year old kid with a tantrum. Not a word about Mrs. Clinton and her policies. The fucking media especially CNN and MSNBC is responsible for trump to get fucking elected. And now they are trying to be responsible, fuck that shit, the train has left tthe station and trump and his racists will change America for good. My only hope is that if he does not build that fucking wall, one of his cocksucker might peg him off.
One of my friends asked, Americans what have you done to elect Trump? Hilary Clinton as opposed to trump and fuckers elected a piece a shit. I am pissed!

(17,235 posts)republiCONs were born evil and as long as they can get away with their dastardly deeds like repealing the ACA, destruction of the EPA, destruction of the State Department and the dismantling of our Democracy, they will try to keep drumpf in the oval office. I am still hopeful that drumpf and his entire administration will be impeached by the end of this year.

(5,704 posts)and another group is totally lacking of empathy. How is that possibhle? We are all humans, we see someone begging and you know a dollar wont help but you give it. Why are republicans so nasty?

Blue_Roses
(12,894 posts)For the last eight years, we've had a president who genuinely cared about the "little people" and did his best to try and make America an even playing field for all Americans. We knew he would take care and protect us. And we got complacent. If there is one thing we should all learn from this nightmare going on now, is that democracy has to be weeded, fed, and nurtured in order to survive.
There will always be someone or something preying on the weak and vunerable. While I still believe (actually more so now), we as Americans are going to get through this, albeit a little bruised and scarred, it has shaken us to the core. I suspect that's how the WWII generation felt. They took nothing for granted after that war. Neither will we.

McCamy Taylor
(19,240 posts)in this country will realize that they have been fucked over and they will quietly work behind the scenes to undo the mess without tipping their hand. The U.S. military and the FBI were "Deep Throat." They used the WaPo as their medium. At first glance, "Deep Throat II" appears to be just the NSA and the CIA, but I am pretty sure that the U.S. military is also involved just as I am sure Putin has told Trump to offer the military the sun and moon in order to keep them on his side. However, the U.S. military takes a very dim view of treason. Also, they do not want to get involved in a proxy ground war in Syria (designed to strengthen Russian control by allowing Russia's puppet to solidify power under the banner of "Drive out the Yanks!" And they really, truly do not want to get involved in the same kind of war with Iran (for the same purpose). So, I am at least 85% sure that the U.S. military is already working behind the scenes feeding info to its own news outlets GE's MSNBC and Newsweek as well as the NYT and WaPo.
In other words, you are already witnessing a coup, American style. Trump is on his way out.

(5,730 posts)Of powers, and most, not all, Republicans had principles, many more so than now. This is not our grandfather's Repub party. We have a totally different recipe now. I'm not saying it won't happen eventually, but the US situation is radically different now. It is important to learn from history though.

(1,917 posts)I don't think there is anything he can do that would get him impeached. Anything.
truebluegreen
(9,033 posts)It will take a House of Representatives not controlled by members of his own party who are more interested in power than justice, and who are willing to indict (impeach) him for whatever they decide qualifies as "high crimes and misdemeanors." And then it will take 2/3 of 100 Senators who are willing to convict him of the charges the House sends up.
Short of that: nothing.*
* well, they could, along with his hand-picked Cabinet, declare him incompetent. While true, how likely do you think that is?

This is not over the American people will not bend over, they will have to loose healthcare and other comforts then we will not be stopped. It may turn ugly, but we have to get back our country a confrontation will eventually happen. Again, the majority of people did not vote for this SOB or his cabal.
truebluegreen
(9,033 posts)My point is that there are no constitutional remedies that will allow us to rid ourselves of this moronic cretin. The best we can hope for is to delay and obstruct and put the fear of god in the pukes in the hopes of minimizing their depredations for two years, and then throwing them out in 2018.

(63,837 posts)voting measures will have to be in place then they won't steal it again. This crap of making it harder to vote has to end, and everyone will have to vote...........2018 seems to be a long time away.
