An impeachable offense per day...

No normal or rational person can keep up with them.

While you were sleeping, he was scheming. "How do I make more money today? What diversion can I use to monopolize the "fake news"? Who do I sue for damages? Who do I charge with crimes against me? What Democrat can I attack today? How can I manipulate the stock market? "

Every day is a new con job.

Every day our laws are broken. Bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, threats of violence, defamation, you name it.

Impeach for what? For insider trading? clearly a violation of his oath of office and the laws of our land.

For starting a war without notifying anyone in Congress? Clearly impeachable.

For wrecking our Justice system?

Unless one has a criminal mind, there is simply no way to keep up with all the criminal acts.

We are all imprisoned by the inaction of Republicans to even accept what is directly under their noses.

Even with all the freaking gerrymandering and attempts to make voting more arduous, if Democrats can't find a way to leverage everything that is WRONG with this criminal administration and hang it around the necks of the do-nothing GQP people in Congress and win a sweeping victory, something is very, very wrong with the party leadership (and of course the citizens of this country).

but as a Republican he's immune to such things....a president from our side would be LONG gone by now, but they love him and the corruption.

They revel in his corruption and his encouragement for them to be equally, if not more, corrupt.

9. It is not just Trump

although he has the greatest opportunities......It is his "personal CABAL, including all of his Spawn and Jared.

It is also the entire "Republican Party's CABAL" and the countless Politicians they have quite literally bought, all going for all the corrupt money that they can since Nov 24. No question that hey ABSOLUTELY have the best politicians that money can buy.
Follow the money that put the Republican Politicians in power...............it ends up being the U.S. Corporations thx to "Citizens United".......which should have truly been named........."Corporations United". The top 1% (who basically represent the Corporations) spent a fortune putting these Republian Politicians in office........the 2016 financing of the Republican Party, was also tremendously assisted by the Russian Oligarchs, funneling an un-fathomable amount of money through the NRA here in the USA......

I suspect in the future, the United States of America, will be renamed by them: THE UNITED CORPORATIONS OF AMERICA.

Since 1980's corrupt election guided by HWBush's CABAL, that installed a pawn named Reagan in office, they have been playing a long game to reach this point.......
The Repubs have been playing three dimensional Chess, for over 46+ years, while the Dems still haven't learned even the basic game of checkers.......

But Republicans won’t hear you. They’re too busy worshipping their “golden calf”.

12. What's really pathetic about all this...

Our Founders foresaw a maniacal leader...hell, they had just thrown off one. They made provisions in The Constitution for it. What they did not foresee was a gutless, compliant party willing to let said leader do whatever he wanted to tear down Democracy if they thought it would keep them in power. Trump is a problem...a damned serious one. But one that could have been handled and, for want of a better word, neutered by a functioning Congress. The reason Nixon resigned is because back then we had Republicans that took their oath to the Constitution seriously. Barry Goldwater told Nixon he simply didn't have the votes in the Senate to avoid impeachment, and the bastard resigned the next day. Even more pathetic is that we would need what? A total of around 10 between the House and the Senate to stand up to him. We just don't have Republicans today who have the morality to do the right thing...as far as they're concerned, their oath is to Trump. Every one of them needs to go.

13. Impeachment is not the way. He's going for the gold on impeachments and here we are.

I don't know what it will be, but if we make it in the mid terms, we have to come up with a better way.

Should they win it again, game over.
