(11,742 posts)If we had actual political leaders from the GOP and it was based on the evidence provided by the House I would say there was a good chance. The GOP is corrupt and their political futures depend on covering for the idiot in the White House so the chances of his removal are very low.

(4,268 posts)We will need a massive turn out to accomplish that. If a certain someone's ****** or Bust followers don't sit it out or vote third party if that person doesn't win the Dem nomination, it's very doable.

(22,976 posts)The disinformation machinery is already churning away at warp speed. The stench of corruption and lawlessness is enough to gag a maggot, but to a MAGAt, its a rare perfume to be inhaled deeply.

(51,615 posts)Maybe one of his many foes will finally say, "Enough" and pull an Epstein or Soleimani on him.
Then, the next day, the funeral will have a crowd even smaller than his inauguration. The following day will be declared a new national holiday (V-T Day ...Victory over tRump) as people party in the streets singing, "Ding Dong, the witch is dead" and "Free at last"...

I'm sorry, but it isn't, and wasn't ever going happen.
It's all up to us. All of we sane, present and truly patriotic Americans. The fantasy that he was going to be impeached wasn't real. I engaged in it too, but not seriously. Sometimes a person needs to play pretend every once in a while, just to stay sane. That's ok. We're all human.
Also, sadly, he could be re-elected if we let them manipulate us and we act stupid again this election cycle. Pretending away reality, doesn't make it any less real. It just makes them winners and we lose our democracy as we know it.
If we don't vote him out, he wins again. The fact is he's not as despised as we'd like to believe in the states it matters most. He's within the margin of 'disenfranchised voters, third party voters and other political cheats.' It's up to us to remove Trump from office... it always has been.

Seriously though, of course. It depends on part on how the republicans constituents put pressure on them over the next few days.
I was feeling like we had less of a chance before the three days of argument. Im half counting on trumps defense to repulse everyone to move the ball in our favor.

(54,422 posts)Remember those old commercials with its not nice to fool mother nature?
Trump has already been secreted away to have a stent put in (or so it would seem). That is neither a sign of imminent death nor something in itself life-threatening. However, he seems to think biology doesnt apply to him, and his diet has not been modified that the White House has seen fit to make public. Those white platelets are not Democrats of liberal. But they will nonetheless do what they always do when present in sufficient concentration: clog arteries to the point where they cause a life-threatening medical incident.

(3,165 posts)...well, nothing's impossible but this is pretty close...
...republican fascists are transforming our democracy into autocratic rule with all that entails...
...vested money interests, corrupt stooge politicians, along with foreign powers will guarantee fraudulent elections with fraudulent results, all under the mask of legitimacy...
...in short, as Representative Schiff put it, 'DESCENT FROM DEMOCRACY' into tyranny is our future...
...where are the Patriots when you need them?...
