Democrats talk of an 'impeachment clock' for Trump

Democratic leaders aren’t calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. But they’re getting closer.
To one Democratic congressman, the president’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey reminded him of the “doomsday clock,” a symbol that warns about the likelihood of nuclear war.
“We should maybe have an impeachment clock,” Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., said on Wednesday. “And if we did, I think yesterday moved us about an hour closer to having that need.”
Pocan said he had thought Democrats in the House of Representatives needed to use the threat of impeachment as a “tool” to make the administration follow the law.
“I would argue this has got to still be on the table as an option, especially if, indeed, there was obstruction of justice by the firing of the FBI director,” said Pocan, first vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.

where they may. Tiberius Trump will further bring down this country before he falls. What he has already done has caused the Founding Fathers to roll in their graves, disgrace the Constitution and honored traditions of this nation, and all that it stands for.
Enough already!

I'm getting sick of this shit! If even one shoe dropped if Hillary were the president, they would have fired, impeached and arrested by now. This is an egregious fuck up on all sides of the GOP, and the whole damn party is guilty of this. We need to get Trump and his whole gang out and we need to get them out now! 
before we reach the tipping point?? That moment when even the most ardent tRump supporter has to know in their gut that they were duped. We've heard the phrase "another shoe to drop" so many times since Jan. 20th and still his supporters remain steadfast....although some recent polling suggests his white, male base is slipping, thus taking his overall approval rating down some more. So hope remains that the steady drip, drip, drip is eroding their faith in him.
At some point (please be sooner rather than later!!) the tipping point will be reached when there are more who understand the extent of the crimes and lies foisted off on the people of the United States. And the rats will flee from that sinking ship, the tramp steamer, tRump, to join the rest of us who knew long ago what a fraud he was and is. 
Hasten the day that happens! 
I mean the GOP has fucked this country over so long that it's almost kind of like we have Stockholm Syndrome - we're in love with our kidnappers. If we had elected Hillary Clinton, the GOP would call everything she does a scandal - regardless of whether it's true or not. With Trump, literally everything he does is a scandal - and there's no one in the media who's willing to call him out! It is a sinking ship. I guess we just have to watch the train wreck!
