The MSM Is Openly Talking About Impeachment

Sure, tomorrow, tRump might invade Hawaii or some other foreign country, and the media will revert to their "he just became president" sophistry. But in the meanwhile, I will take the fact that they are talking about the pathological lying of tRump and his sycophants, the Russia collusion and the fact that impeachment (obstruction of justice, etc) is being roundly discussed 112 days in.

Discussion of tRumps crimes is no longer confined to the offbeat media.

And how complicit they were in installing this clown and his demolition derby in the first place, I think I'll wait, if it's all the same. When the House Judiciary Committee starts openly talking impeachment, THEN my antennae will start to wiggle.

The GOP are the lying thieving enablers.

It's so sad to see an entire party purchased by the wealthy and corporations.

the repuglican party is so complicit they aren't concerned with the constitution or our laws. Trump lied when he said he would uphold the constitution. That is more than enough to impeach him - but the pigs supporting him won't do it.

And the only reason most of America doesn't see what we all do is because Fox News and conservative hate radio lie to them to advance the interests of the Koches and Murdochs.

When the entire Republican Party is potentially staring at a RICO indictment. The GOP is a criminal enterprise. Their stonewalling isn't just more of the same partisan game-playing; it's a concerted effort to protect the brand from criminal prosecution.

The FBI and the DOJ hold all the cards here. Indict Sessions and down they go.

For a guy who is such a despicable racist and has already tried to increase suffering of poor and non white people -- I'd feel no regret if he went down.

Indepedent of Sessions, putting the guy in prison for the rest of his natural life would set a salutary example for other racists and hatemongers.

Once the American public realizes we need to impeach this fool, it will be easier to pick off selfish Republican Senators to convict.

So much more is going on behind the wall of secrecy.

Because this is a secret FISA court jurisdiction, the Supreme Court is involved and Roberts is the lead jurist. As I hoped, it seems Gorsuch cannot be in the loop.
