So an oligarch has seized the presidency...


Who is working with foreign hostile entities, to gut the protections of our government and
institutions, and bring our resources under their control.

And our political/legal process, which has to follow the rule of law, is too slow and cumbersome to remove this criminal before irreparable damage is done to our national security and international reputation and interests.

I would say we are in a constitutional crisis, to put it mildly.

Every day another bad act of the Conman is exposed. NOW, the first fed. employee testified to Congress in spite of being told not to. I'm convinced HE'SA GONE! More & more Pubs are responding to polls with a positive for impeachment inquiry. When that # gets high enough, the Senators will abandon the Conman in favor of saving their own jobs!

It’s not about counting on them doing the right thing. It’s about knowing they’ll turn on him in a hot minute if they believe it’s in their best interest. If enough Repugs sense he’ll drag them down, he’s toast.

It seems career professionals from the various intelligence and other government agencies agree with you. I think they've finally had enough. Trump will have to be brought down by leaks, whistleblowers and rogue members of the press bucking corporate management. From the avalanche of recent bad news for Trump, almost on an hourly basis, the process is underway.
