Clapper and Tribe are warning the american people. Both of these guys are highly respected.

The impeachment process must begin now. We can't wait. Our country and our institutions are under attack by Trump.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. GOP are no longer patriots, this is an obvious fact.

We are on our own.

[PubliusEnigma]

2. Tin Soldiers and Trump is coming...

[caballojm]

7. They were never patriots.

They've been party over country for decades serving only their wealthy masters.

[Dustlawyer]

8. True! So when are we going to fight and demand to get the money out of the system

to end their selling us out?

[shockey80]

3. Tribe just said,

The house must start the impeachment process now. He also said a special prosecutor will be put in place. The acting attorney general has no choice under the law.

Clapper said today, trump is attacking our institution.

When these two guys warns us you know we are in danger.

5. We knew that would be the case when the Republicans

were put in power. Extremists have gotten control of the GOP. Forget the normalization from the media: Based on analyzing votes and attempts to bring bills, today's Republican congress as a whole is far more extreme than conservatives have ever been in this nation. Not just a little bit, but far more, and also far more extreme than the Republican voters of today whom they are betraying. The GOP Congress now represents ultraconservative billionaire nuts who view the American people as a bunch of leaches sponging on them through taxation and regulation.

Removing Rump won't change any of this. Instead, a more competent executive will join with the Republican congress to continue the destruction.

Perhaps Clapper and Tribe know something classified, perhaps military, that compels action even though they can't reveal it. But that the GOP is busily dismantling and corrupting our institutions as quickly as possible is not news. That's why Obama's group of lawyers was formed to monitor and identify illegal activities they can try to stop with lawsuits.

Btw, if this is an immediate emergency, where IS Obama on this? I haven't heard.

[Hortensis]

4. We've never been here before, so there's no saying how

this will proceed. Especially since we can be pretty sure important classified information is unknown to us.

But, based solely on current info "out" and patterns of past impeachment attempts, we are nowhere near impeachment time.

Rump has an 87% approval rate among Republicans: Big power congress would normally be very afraid to cross. We are only 3 months into this presidency and Republican voters are on his side. Any attempt to remove him will be seen as a conspiracy against the people.

It seems probable that a compelling case must be brought after Rump's popularity has dwindled farther. Perhaps info not yet released could turn them on Rump within days. But they ignored all his flirting with treason, swindling, and mental problems; and barring nuclear-grade ammo, they're probably not going to turn on him for some time--perhaps after the building up what they see as a combination of failures and betrayals of them.

Btw, that Russian woman who writes on living under authoritarian government said authoritarians hate thinking they supported a loser--they want a strong man. Ours elected a dud but don't know it yet.
