It is time to present articles of impeachment.

They may fail?

But it's time to take a stand.

Everyone should see by now that Donald Trump is a national security risk to our nation and that it will be very difficult to repair the damages, even if he is removed today.

It's time to look at this crisis in the most pragmatic way we possibly can.

Just my opinion.

I would wait until there is more conclusive evidence put out by the investigation.

It was immediately the subject of a motion to table, which passed by a vote of 355 - 66.

4. Articles of Impeachment will go nowhere. Ordinances of Secession might be a better choice

I also now understand the need for the second amendment. I we want to be wrong, but I see things getting infinitely worse before they get better.

The GOP is too cowardly to admit they were wrong. The country would probably have to look like this before they finally wake the fuck up and consider it

And that he'd benefit from going quietly before his entire family is ruined by a long and nasty trial.

And when trump refuses to go quietly, a swift impeachment without evidence should happen within a week, including removal.

Yrs, we need to get rid of Trump, but he must be replaced with a Democratic president.
