Oh, how I wish politicians--on both sides of the aisle--had the courage to invalidate the

fraudulent, illegal election of 2016 & demand a do-over. Nothing short of this will fix the damage done to our democracy. Hell, Paul Manafort handpicked Mike Pence. Let THAT sink in. Paul. Manafort. Handpicked. Mike Pence. This entire "administration" is illegitimate.



This means Trump’s Presidency is not only illegitimate but criminal. It means a Presidential election was compromised by the most insidious criminal conspiracy in American History. It means Trump is a traitor and Putin determined the outcome. The impeachment bar has been reached

but this all has exposed the dire need for one. The problem would then be, however, worrying about Republicans using said mechanism to try to overturn elections where Democrats win the WH.

They should, however, impeach him, and then prosecute the shit out of him and everyone who helped him.

Some people need to die in prison over this.
