And put Articles of Impeachment on the Floor for a vote. It's clear that both Trump and Pence would go (since Pence knew about Flynn's involvement with Russia as head of the transition team). This would make Ryan the POTUS, but he would be effectively lame-ducked for 3 years.

(40,190 posts)Ryan has mediocre intellect. He only cares about his policies not about what is good for the nation.

(32,596 posts)...but if he does it, he'll be impeached too.
As soon as the Dems get a majority (hopefully next year) do you think we'll take any sh*t from him?
Hell no! Ryan and McConnell are just as tainted as the people in the White House.

(13,081 posts)While we sit here and laugh and gloat and point out hypocrisy, the Republicans are winning. They've got most of the states, two branches of government wholesale, and are quickly filling the judiciary with extremist lunatics. Their bills are getting passed, their so-called "policies" are being put in place.
They've finally pulled off the coup we've been expecting since 2001. They know their days are numbered and are by God going to do as much damage as the Koch brothers can pay for.
