So many times we thought this is it, Trump is going down. This is it has finally arrived.

If this does not take him down nothing will. What a strange time this has been. I grew up in the 60's and 70's, that was a crazy time, It was not a strange time, to me anyway. It was crazy and cool time. This time period has been nothing but strange.

When I say I truly miss the 60s and 70s,but I truly do. Nostalgia hits every generation , I guess. At least I can see the clothes I wore back then, coming back.

It was crazy and beautiful at the same time. I didn't have any money and it did not matter. There were lots of girls living the same life style. Man, that was fun.

I grew up in a country setting, I'll start with a couple things,as you gave 2 perfect examples. I'll add, skinny dipping openly and only having to walk across street for a Hefty zipper bag for 5 bucks.

It feels like forever that I've been waiting for "the other shoe" to drop. I don't just want it to be a mere shoe, but the whole damned shoe factory and every employee ever involved in the manufacturing of shoes and anything related to footwear.. . Thinking of which there's an ad on this very page "google ads" for shoes.. Maybe it's a sign from above...well, the top of the page anyway..

I was a kid during Tricky Dick's presidency, but at least he knew how to govern.

Here we have a bloated, old, stupid two-bit con artist who is colluding with foreign governments to save his ancient orange ass from prison. And a party that's been paid off by Russkies. And a percentage of the populace who hated that "uppity" Obama so much that they gleefully wallow in Dump's hatred.

Funny how RW nutjobs rail against east coast elitists, but how many people just happen to own a big ass building in mid town Manhattan with their name all over it? That in and of itself just screams east coast elitism.. Every Democrat should be screaming Trump IS an east coast elitist every day..

don't spike the ball in the end zone just yet. Trump fights dirty and there are no lines he won't cross.

or actual removal by the Senate. Victory laps are a little premature. (although perhaps understandable) I get the impression a lot of folk think that Trump is actually going to be GONE .. That isn't even in sight -- if indeed it actually happens.

he is badly wounded - the people around him are furious and no doubt sick of his incompetent ass; also, Trump will either have to shut up or be VERY careful of what he says, and we all know he is not capable of doing that, so it is only going to get worse

administration, but he just keeps careening from one explosive disclosure to the next. I'm still not convinced this will end this nightmare because chaos is the name of the game with this administration, and the chaos doesn't allow for focus on any one impeachable issue, and that works to his advantage.
