    Isn't this really just spam at this point? Multiple threads about different approaches to the same shit.

    Spam doesn't need to come through a thread subscription notification or via email. If it repeats an identical message in several different ways, and clutters up a region of the internet that a large sum of people frequent, then yes - it's spam. My point was that even if there was no audience, what you're doing is spamming this forum (akin to a tree falling but no one being there to hear it, or garbage being thrown on the ground and no one being there to witness it).

    It would a waste of time and money. This nation has far more problems to worry about that any sort of impeachment. This IS PE Donald Trump we are speaking about so have some patience and his action/decisions will speak itself. He will either swim or sink with those decisions let's give him that opportunity.

    Nope, I had it right the first time. No other explanation for having 8 threads on the porch on the same subject.

    Of course the Constitution can be used to get rid of Trump. The problem is that what is being advocated now isn't use. It is abuse. It would be an abuse of the Constitution to undo in the Electoral College or in Congress what was legally done at the ballot box.

    I don't like the guy either...but he won.

    think about it. Why is there an electoral college? Why is there over a two month waiting period before inauguration?

    do really want your country torn apart into chaos? can you imagine what will happen if the existing government tries to get rid of trump before he is even sworn in? that's unthinkable. if the electoral college decides to go away from trump, that is their right. it was set up for a very good reason. but be very careful what you are wishing for here.

    you are, quite frankly, pushing for anarchy.

    It makes for an easier time frame from one administration to another and households.

    If you will see in several of my previous posts, I see Mike Pence as the great compromise that will keep us from civil war

    The gap used to last until March. It exists so the President Elect can assemble a team, fill their cabinet, be briefed on what is happening in the country and the world, and be ready to lead at 12:01pm on January 20th. It isn't just a new POTUS taking office. It is an entire branch of the government.

    The gap doesn't exist so that the losing party can get a do-over. Make no mistake, that is the precedent you are asking to be set.

    but that is precisely what will happen if you get what you are pushing for. honestly, I think even if a recount shows Hillary wins, which is extremely doubtful, but even if it's FAIR, the US will descend into chaos.
