The GOP is on a tear to destroy Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid before 2018. So if they lose power in November they will obstruct until 2020 any moves to save them. That means the are like a Doctor who gives a patient a heart attack then stops anyone from intervening.
The GOP is so crass they are willing to murder and disable millions of Americans. It is a form of eugenics so the takers will not survive. That slaughter will mean that they can give even more tax cuts to the rich.

(50,557 posts)The Framers couldn't think of everything, and one of the biggest things they didn't think of was a mechanism to remove a congressman. We can get rid of a president or judge through impeachment, but congressmen and senators have to be removed by Congress. Only seven Representatives and 15 Senators have ever been expelled...and of the 15 Senators, 14 were expelled for supporting the Confederacy.

Surely someone will come up with a solution to this mess. Trump isn't the only one who wanted to clean the swamp. I don't know which swamp he was referring to, but Congress sure has their share of critters who have been stepping very close, if not over, the line of decency.
How about treason?
