Well, lookee here....Article ii covers bribery... for all, not just Trump.

1. If we actually went by that quaint old document...

Trump would have been thrown out on his ass on Day One.

[MineralMan]

2. Hell, yes! Impeach and remove the lot of them.

Sadly, we need a majority in Congress for both houses to do that. GOTV!

[onenote]

4. We need more than simply a majority in the Senate

So unless a bunch of Republican senators develop a sense of morality and ethics, it ain't gonna happen.

[BigmanPigman]

7. I know...he will never be impeached.

Cohen was made the Deputy Finance Chair of the RNC and half of the GOP has been involved in criminal activities.

His ego is too big to resign, they can't indict a sitting president for some reason so the only hope left is that he has a massive stroke or heart attack. Mueller will nail Pence, Ryan and McConnell eventually.

[BumRushDaShow]

20. He could be impeached in the House (majority only) but not enough in the Senate to convict. nt

[BigmanPigman]

21. I know and that is what sucks...

what is the point of being impeached if you aren't convicted too. Clinton shouldn't have been impeached at all yet the fucking moron should be sent to prison. What I want to know is why a sitting president can't be indicted?!? What is the theory behind this?

[BumRushDaShow]

22. I think they assumed

that a President under such suspicion would resign after the public "shaming" of impeachment hearings. But regarding indictments, it's never happened before so really, I think there is just a lot of speculation and if it did happen, it would be up to the SCOTUS to decide, because we know something like that would head right to the courts.

[BigmanPigman]

23. If it goes to the Supreme Court

the odds are in his favor thanks to McConnell. Too bad that can't be reversed if it is proven that the GOP took money from Russians via Cohen as the Deputy Finance Chair of the RNC.

[BumRushDaShow]

26. Only thing we can do at this point is vote

to make sure we can at least take back the House and if we're lucky, maybe the Senate. At least at that point, we can hold some real hearings. Right now since the GOP is truly restricting how (and what) hearings go forward, then the public only has the (often RW-skewed) media to rely on to know how bad it is.

[bench scientist]

27. You really think Kennedy would vote with Alito and Gorsuch on this? I don't. Neither would Roberts

[BigmanPigman]

28. At this point I do not trust too many of them

to do what's right...hope I'm wrong.

[C_U_L8R]

3. Little wonder why they want to rewrite the Constitution

These wanna-be oligarchs can cram it.

[malaise]

5. Lock them all up

You may need to built new prisons - this kakistocracy practices pay to play on steroids

[lunatica]

6. Guantanamo is OK by me

There are a lot of empty cells there. Plenty of space! And if not then put 5 of them in each cell.

[Moostache]

16. I prefer the "let them eat cake" outcome for them...

[malaise]

18. I'm against the death penalty

but I'd let them rot in prison

[Moostache]

24. Ok...but can I at least poke them with a stick every day? (n/t)

[azureblue]

8. but how do we throw then out --

when they control Congress? The GOP took money from Russia. That is treason and bribery right there. So how do we throw out an entire political party?

[BBG]

9. Recall

At some point regular elections may not come soon enough. We should be mounting recall efforts against some of these criminals.

[onenote]

17. Senators and members of Congress are not subject to recall.

Only the Senate can remove a sitting Senator and only the House can remove a sitting member of the House.

[BBG]

30. dang, there goes that dream.

But thanks for clarifying my muddy thinking.

[malaise]

19. Six months to go

for the clean up

[DoctorJoJo]

10. Let's Give the Orange Buffoon Some Credit:

He touched ALL the bases, more bases than any POTUS ever! Deserves bigly credit!

[N_E_1 for Tennis]

11. Fuck impeached...

Firing squad.
EOM

[rainin]

12. When do we just start laughing at them for pretending to care about the constitution.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

13. Remove the orange weeping-sore from office under any circumstances...

and his batshit crazy base will take to the streets wanting blood.

[progressoid]

14. Not gonna happen.

Even if somebody inside this corruption decides to flip and shows the smoking gun to the world, you're still looking at another year or two of legal wrangling. I doubt Trump is going to resign.

Of course, don't expect anything to happen in the legislature unless we take back the House and the Senate.

There. Parade. Rain.

My work is done.

[duforsure]

15. Did he get paid

to blow up all these deals ? Pardon? Positions? Policies? by Putin?

[dixiegrrrrl]

29. Yeah, I'm wondering where the money got stashed.

So many counties with so many crooks, have no idea where to look.

[Mr. Ected]

25. When your voting base believes that Hillary poses a greater threat to our country

Than Vladimir Putin, this quaint old shard of paper isn't strong enough to help.

[Cha]

31. Kicking..
