We all knew 45 would be the worst president in history.
The deluge of multiple daily controversies (lost count), total ineptitude, willful disregard for the basic respect of others, and lying to extreme has created a huge dumpster fire which can't be put out. Add investigations which may prove collusion with Russia, corporate money laundering, conspiracy against the United States, and other crimes we have yet to hear about.
Is there ANYTHING this fascist malignant narcissistic idiot can do which would actually move republicans to acknowledge how fucked up and crazy he is? Not to mention a national and worldly threat?
There are a few outliers on the right --- like Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace. I will give them kudos for acknowledging reality, but the rest of the GOP are in total denial or cowards or both.
Sarcasm aside, do you think there is any crime 45 could commit which would get the GOP to finally say - impeach him (and the rest of his corrupt cabal)?!

(6,376 posts)But republicans who are strongly supportive of Trump have painted themselves between a rock and a hard place. Continuing to embrace Trump will cause a big backlash of voters against them, but turning on Trump will cause them to lose their base. It's a no-win situation.
It's the exact problem that Rick Saccone ran into. He couldn't push Trump away because then he'd lose his base. So instead he hugged Trump tight...and allowed Conor Lamb to rally the Democratic base and independents enough to beat Saccone.

(1,796 posts)the only thing that might get him impeached is if he started to promote liberal ideas.
-Amnesty
-Semi-auto gun ban
-More money for food stamps or medicare

Of course, we know he will never give a shit about anyone more than himself.

(2,541 posts)Republicans are fully invested in trump now. Had they acted when trump fired Comey they could have saved some self-respect...maybe, but they have sat quietly and let too much happen, aided and abetted trump far too much for them to be able separate themselves from him now and retain any self-respect. Trump / Republicans become synonymous with each other and there is no going back for them.

I can't think of anything else, including a revelation of murder or assault or money laundering. They'd probably excuse that as 'justifiable" or "good business."

(15,642 posts)but based on purposeful actions many or them individually and as whole -- all for one, one for all -- took. They are fighting to save their necks. That's what is really going on. Nothing else makes any possible sense. Apparently, even Jim Baker said today regarding collusion: if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it's more than likely a duck. They are desperate to save their lives or at least their well-being. And we need to do everything we possibly can to hold them accountable regardless of how devastating it is to each and every one of them personally. Hang em all if it comes to that. Sorry - but that's how I feel. No compassion, no forgiveness.
