The only way he gets impeached is if the Dems take back congress in 2018 and that is a long shot. The 25th Amendment is also a long shot. But, there is probably a greater likelihood of Trump scaring the cabinet so badly they have to act than there is of Paul Ryan/Mitch McConnell doing anything.

Not necessarily. Assuming Mueller's report includes what a lot of people suspect I think there are multiple republicans right now who would vote to impeach: Murkowski, McCain, Graham, Collins, Corker, and Flake. I'm sure there will be more because there will be more public support for impeachment after all the investigations are completed. Plus those repubs would prefer Pence because Pence would know how to implement their agenda. Trump keeps shooting them all in the feet.

Impeachment needs to start in the House. That means it needs to start with spineless empty suit Paul Ryan. I don't see it ever happening while the GOP controls the speakership.

Patience young Jimmy....they won't have much of a choice once all is revealed.

Don't get me wrong, I hope you are right. But Paul Ryan has thus far shown zero courage to stand up to this President or do the right thing. President Hillary would have been impeached for the same offenses months ago. No matter what agenda Ryan wants to push through, he could just as easily push it through with Pence. He just won't do it.

Paul Ryan is absolutely spineless.  The only ones with a spine is Ben Sasse (R-NE) and Jeff Flake (AZ).  They are younger and not retiring but they are challenging Trump every step.  I respect them even if I don't agree with them fully.

tweet from DJT on May 28/13:

"I commend Roger Ailes for publicly supporting Fox News' employees against the Obama administration's intimidation of its reporters". 

there really is a tweet for every occasion.

It's a reality though.

Some kids are being indoctrinated with moronicness as we speak. From the outside looking in... the level of moronicness seems to be perilously widespread. It's got to suck.

I'm in southern Illinois and my son's second grade class last year had a vote- only my son and one other kid voted for Hillary. The other kids were saying how Hillary would take their families guns from them. They're 8!

And that proves how ignorant their parents are

Thats because anyone with a half a brain knows your guns will be taken by President Obama and his U.N. troops

High degrees of moronicness.

Moronicness is tough to combat- especially when it is transcended through generations like a genetic trait.

so I follow this guy on Twitter, his name is Kyle Griffin. He reports on all stuff Trump. very insightful, all factual, and one of the most recent he posted about was the fact that Trump was speaking to a crowd about how he is going to get rid of the estate tax, AKA the "death tax", which he claims is crippling. This tax only applies to estates worth $5.9 million or something. 

He was speaking to a crowd of truckers, whose average yearly salary hovers around $40K. 

he is so stupid and out of touch it is astounding. 

Hear me out- it was probably dumb because that’s the wrong audience for that discussion certainly, but I think getting rid of the estate tax is a great thing.  Why should the children of a deceased person be taxed on their inheritance? Their parents earned it and already paid taxes (most likely anyway) on their estate over the years but the govt wants to tax the bereaved kids when the money comes their way? Screw that, give the kids what’s theirs.

I agree with that. My comment was only about who his audience was. This is obviously just lowering taxes on the rich. He claims he is for the common man. His "common men" are idiots.

Oh I'm way south of that man. I'm about an hour north of St. Louis. Where people (not me) think Chicago should be it's own state. Morons.

There is that north-south cultural divider line that runs across Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.

Trump's UK visit is downgraded to working trip instead of full state visit and won't be meeting the queen as a result. 1.8 million people signed a petition for the UK to withdraw its invitation. Jesus.

Agree.  Let’s remember though that government for the people is a joke and has been since being a politician became a career.  Never before or after now have the common people been represented by one of their own.  If voters believe they are and have believed the promises they’re told, they’ve already been gamed by the system.  Just saying it because whether you agree or disagree with a particular politician’s platform is irrelevant, they’re only there for themselves in the end.

Because it's just another piece of the progressive tax system that we've had in this country for many generations.  There's no fundamental argument for or against the estate tax that isn't intrinsically linked to one's belief in progressive taxation.  I generally support it because I support capitalism and I believe that there is a basic standard of living that any American should be entitled to.  In order to achieve both of these beliefs, you must have progressive taxation.

His handlers better run a Craigslist ad to hire a crowd of fake supporters or trump will come home upset.

well, not at the federal level, no, because you don't get to that level in the US unless you are filthy rich. BUT, the democrats have a much better track record of trying to help the less fortunate. Republican politicians only care about themselves and their rich friends, typically.
