    He hasn't committed any crimes and has the majority party in both houses. Also it's a horrible precedent to set, that's why we've only done it twice and, in both cases, removed the law that caused it.

    It has only been over a month, but at this rate, most liberals will die in exhaustion before 2018 even comes. You need stop screaming like a little girl every single day. Take a deep breathe and chill.

    And most conservatives contracted dementia at the sight of a black President, voting in a Tea Party majority because they didn't want to share healthcare with poor people, then nominating and electing an inexperienced jackoff who they're now terrified will take away their insurance.

    Nope....this is far too entertaining.

    Also, I've always been a believer of give people exactly what they ask for.

    The media has not lost credibility to smart people only the stupid ones who don't know the difference between CNN, Wall Street Journal, NY Times, and Brietbart.

    Lets be honest here for a minute please.

    You mean Trump has campaigned enough to discredit the media that when something bad does come out (sourced or not), Trump supporters simply wont give a damn, and will just call it fake news.

    I think you are confusing "the public" with the Trump base & partisan politics. 60% of Americans would likely still believe a well sourced, and thoroughly vetted news claim especially if it has substantial evidence. While the News media has little trust, I do believe the vast majority of Americans will believe a thoroughly vetted story & not just write it off as "FakeNews" if it is negative towards Trump.

    However...As long as-

    -A. The Republicans control the House (only entity that can open an impeachment)
    -B. The Trump base is big enough to allow Republicans to not risk losing the House
    -C. Trump base eats up Trumps rhetoric enough to stay loyal

    Nothing will happen regardless of how bad the news is.

    Look... He's technically breaking the law now with the Emoluments clause. I know that Trump has stated his case against violating the clause but its pretty weak among many legal professionals who have spoke about this, and when he's taken to federal court for this its likely JUST going to result in him needing to divest himself in more areas of his business RATHER THAN IMPEACHMENT, but with a Democratic House, he would have already had to do that.

    The Russian situation is the big one here though. We still don't know if there is evidence that Flynn and Mannafort were acting as "Rogue" agents in their collusion with the Russian government or if Trump can be directly linked. I still think Trump fans are so far in that they will dive head over heals in support of Russia (sorry guys but many Trump fans will certainly put party over country)... hate to admit it, but I don't think there will be NO repercussions. If there is big news that Trump committed what could be considered as Treason, its the biggest scandal in modern day politics, and there will be hell to pay whether Trump fans want to admit it or not.

    However all we have now is Circumstantial evidence. Just have to wait and see, but make no mistake about it.... This is much more serious than Trump fans realize, and even they need to ask themselves, if Trump COULD clear his name by coming clean ASAP(assuming he did nothing wrong) then why doesn't he do it? Only person to blame for unnecessary Impeachment talk is Trump himself who-

    A. Refused to divest himself from his business and
    B. Hasn't fully come clean about his background with Russia

    The fact that we are even talking about it is his fault and his fault only. Sorry Trump fans. Thats the truth here.

    Agreed. Only problem is, there are way too many 'stupid ones' in the country.

    I'd be willing to bet an impeachment trial (not necessarily impeachment) will eventually happen, however there's no real substance at the moment. Congress attempted to impeach Bill Clinton over relations with an intern; the window of DJT's incompetence will be far greater in due time.

    If Trump supporters wanted people to stop complaining about every crazy thing Trump did or inaccurate or disingenuous thing he said, wouldn't it be better for Trump to stop doing crazy things or saying disingenuous things? Just wondering...

    True, but the calls for personal responsibility and accountability has always only been lip service from large portions of these folks.

    This is an impeachable offense by itself.

    “The President ordered a well-done steak. An aged New York strip. He ate it with catsup as he always does.”

    http://ijr.com/2017/02/810965-trump...w-the-president-acts-when-no-one-is-watching/

    Just another example of the axiom that "money can't buy good taste or class", as anyone who's seen photos of his gilded monstrosity of a penthouse can attest to. Also, don't know where I read it, but "Donald Trump is a poor person's idea of what a rich person should be like" is pretty damn spot on.

    What does it taste like? I have never seen anyone eat steak this way.

    And people gave Harden a hard time for using A1. LOL.

    Also that quote was from this article.

    http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/10/fran-lebowitz-trump-clinton-election

    Little do people not realize is Donald Trump is most likely one of the most Non-Liquid Billionaires we have on this planet. Follow his career in business (if you want to call it a true business). He's always been a master of loaning money from financiers, not paying back, going to court, and paying back 20 cents on a dollar. I'd be willing to bet he hasn't been in the black (accounting term for profitable) since his daddy gave him millions as a loan.

    When folks on the street were interviewed as to why they were Trump supporters and they said the old line of "well he's obviously very successful in business.... yada yada" I just cringed.

    What's more likely really.... his tax return shows that he is in debt to the power in Russia or that he's just simply not wanting Americans to know how little money he's actually worth when you consider how in debt he is??

    Maybe both, but probably more likely the latter.

    Shoe leather with a tomato-corn syrup glaze? I'm guessing.
