In reply to the discussion: DONALD TRUMP IS BEING WARNED BY ADVISERS ABOUT IMPEACHMENT [View all]Cosmocat

Trump did ...
I get the differentiations you are making, but you disregard the incredibly tenuous state of our democracy right now.
Yes, Hitler bullied his way in.
I am not as confident it does not start to get bloody here, but we did something Germany did not do, we actually ELECTED 45, and our party in power is an absolute state of disassociation from reality, decency and democracy. And, 1/3 of our fellow citizens are full on board with that, and another 1/3 is wlling to sit back and let them have at it (see the fall election, where 1/3 voted 45, 1/3 voted the competent, capable and decent candidate and 1/3 voted for idiots or did not vote at all).
We are on VERY thin ice, and a lot closer to it breaking bad than turning around.

This seems more of an opinion/analysis piece and might be better in General rather than here in LBN.

I've noticed he's attempting to be more "presidential" since getting rid of Bannon.

Don't think this article is true. Why would they warn him about something Repubs won't do?

Exactly. At this point it would be political suicide for an R to move against Trump

They should warn him not to jump off the roof for all the mind he pays them. nt
