Trump could hand over all our nation's secrets to Russia and Congress would not even censure him

He can do whatever he wants, including having the Russian mob co-sign his loans, and he has absolutely nothing to worry about.

Sure we might see a little cable news drama as they pretend to care, but there is zero chance of Congress doing anything about it.

... right now.

Congress can drive Red Don's numbers into the 20s, Hitler and Nixon area of approval, then WHEN Red Don cheats to win in 2020 congress doesn't have to certify his election results until investigation is complete.

Screw Red Don

Congressional leadership is working hard to get the facts out, and the country doesn't want him impeached. The election is next year anyway. We can beat him without impeaching.

against all enemies, foreign and domestic;



Just yesterday Trump fabricated a story about China calling him to negotiate a trade deal, for the sole purpose of illegally influencing the stock market before trading began. ... Which is both a criminal and impeachable offense, and this isn't an isolated incident he does these criminal activities on a regular basis, with no threat whatsoever of any repercussions

And not a single word about it from anyone in Congress because Trump can do whatever he wants without anyone in Congress even lifting a finger to stop him.

But not a word about him being a filthy criminal who belongs in a fucking prison cell along with his criminal children and his criminal son-in-law.

He's stupid. He has elementary school level knowledge of most things because he doesn't read.

to the Russians?

Russians engineered Trump's election. Has he fully paid them back for that service? If they really have the cosigner loan docs to hold over Trump's head to blackmail him, they expect him to do lots of nice things for them.

Trump has systematically disabled our government so that it barely functions. There's no checks and balances, no dedicated staff to make sure procols and regs are followed. The watchdog agencies the investigators and intelligence offices have been crippled and thrown aside. No one is watching what Trump is doing.
