1. Recommended.

Rep. Swalwell is a good man. I'd think he should be considered for VP in 2020.

[orangecrush]

3. Agree

All congressional democrats need to stand together with him to form a united front against this tyranny.

[oberliner]

6. Why do you say VP rather than P?

[karin_sj]

15. Yes!

I think he'd make a great president as well!

[DownriverDem]

16. We need

VPs too.

[Hekate]

2. KnR

[orangecrush]

4. I feel hopeful

when I see someone standing up to a bully.

[Delmette2.0]

5. Project much, Donnie?

Look who is the shit stain on my country.

Did you notice all the empty seats yesterday in Florida? Your base is shrinking as I write this.

[monmouth4]

17. There weren't too many empty seats. Many were on the floor but those seats were mostly filled...n/t

[Delmette2.0]

22. Crap. I only saw the one video rant directed at CNN.

Thanks for correcting me.

[Scurrilous]

7. K&R

[maxsolomon]

8. if you can.

lots of steps in-between, and Autocracy looms.

[ffr]

9. General strike until conservatives get off their dead asses and impeach already!!!

[dumbcat]

14. Absolutely!

All of our past general strikes about such issues have been so successful.

[orangecrush]

25. Labor is stil a powerful voice in this country

Despite the wage slave fantasies of republicans and tRump voting bootlickers.

[Fritz Walter]

24. Our resistance must be active and provacative

Mohandas Gandhi taught the world about achieving change non-violently.

Can you imagine a nationwide “day of prayer and fasting”?
In USA, 21st Century terms? Or even global terms?
No e-commerce. No travel. Everyone taking “personal time off” or otherwise not showing up for work.
Or play: cancel your trip to the gym. Or to the beach/lake/river.
Total shut down. (OK, police/fire/ems/hospitals excepted on humanitarian grounds).
Everyone else STAYS HOME.
Considering what’s at stake, we all need to make our voices heard.
Otherwise, we’re just pissing in the wind.

Beam me up, Scotty. There’s no intelligent life on this planet.

[calimary]

10. I'm in!

Hell, I’ve been wanting to fire him since two Januaries ago!

[marble falls]

11. Look! A squirell! (We're going to fire you either way.)

[Honeycombe8]

12. Unfortunately, the Dems can't fire Sessions. Or Trump. nt

[FreepFryer]

21. Lol. Watch us. (nt)

[sarisataka]

26. 2 questions

When?
How?

[FreepFryer]

29. Look around. (n/t)

[sarisataka]

30. That's about

What I figured...

[FreepFryer]

34. Hope is not a strategy. Nevertheless it is essential. Condolences on your lack thereof (n/t)

[orangecrush]

40. Perhaps you are unaware

of the preparations that have been made in the event of Mueller being fired.

They have been discussed here often.

Millions will take to the streets.

[FreepFryer]

42. I'm aware of the prognostications I have read here, and I am aware that no one can see the future.

Hope + Strategy = Possibilities

[fescuerescue]

13. Why not just fire Trump now?

Now that he mentions it. I think we have enough proof.

[marieo1]

19. Disgrace to USA

We all know who is the disgrace to the USA, DJT!!

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. Why wouldn't Democrats be "angry"?

Every decent American should be angry about now. And who are these 17 Democrats?

[orangecrush]

23. They aren't all "democrats"

In fact, I believe most of them are republicans.

Mueller is a republican appointed by a republican.

tRump is trying to influence public opinion of his moronic base to keep the reps from impeaching him.

[lapfog_1]

27. If you could "fire" Trump... you should do so no matter what Mueller finds

His constant provable lies and cooperation with Putin and other dictators around the world are sufficient to warrant removal from office.

[enid602]

28. Support

To be precise if tRump fires Mueller, he'll have abrogated the Contitution, and will continue as president if he has the support of the military and intelligence community. If he doesn't have their support, his service will be, er terminated.

[sarisataka]

31. You may not have noticed

But this country does not have a history of the military deciding who is or is not president. I would rather we not start such a history, even in our current situation.

[enid602]

32. Coup

When he does what he's considering doing, we'll no longer have a constitution in effect. He'll have attempted a coup.

[sarisataka]

33. I stand by my statement

and will, should it come to pass, seek Constitutional and electoral remedies.

We would not save the country by turning it into a military dicatatorship

[WinstonSmith4740]

46. I tend to agree.

But desperate times call for desperate measures. A hallmark of our society is that we are a CIVILIAN lead democracy, with a military that takes it's orders from a civilian leader. But when that leader is a traitorous bastard, being supported by feckless cowards that not only refuse to acknowledge reality, and who are refusing to even look at the evidence of his conspiracy, we have to think outside the box. If the Russians manage to throw the November election, and Dems don't take over the House, it will be time to take whatever action is necessary to keep him from declaring himself "President for Life" and giving the keys to The White House to his handler, Putin. I think it can be done without the military, but if that's what becomes necessary (remember, his followers are heavily armed and crazy), we have to keep our fingers crossed that we have a military that respects The Constitution. I think we do. I really can't see a military dictatorship developing. Also, remember that for all his bravado, he is NOT popular with the military. I think they'd do this in a heartbeat, and then give us the keys back.

[lpbk2713]

35. He's crying for help and not getting any.

Witch hunt ... every time I hear him say that I think what a poor dumb mofo.

[orangecrush]

36. he is incriminating himself

and he seems not to care.

I sincerely hope this means he is clueless.

[Golden Raisin]

37. Swalwell has been one of the voices keeping me

semi-sane during the ongoing Trump/complicit Republican nightmare. He's calm, intelligent, forthright, articulate, quietly strong and no bs. I wish Swalwell's exact words above had been spoken loudly today by Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer.

[mysteryowl]

38. I wish Trump being fired would happen now.

[bucolic_frolic]

39. Trump hasn't the b*lls to actually do it

He just wants to whine and agitate.

If Trump thinks elections will be tough, just try firing the Special Counsel

If we don't win this election, he could do it after the election which would effectively end the rule of law

[orangecrush]

41. AGREE 100%

And he is, of course, still doing nothing to prevent russian interference in our elections, which means we will have to turn out in numbers that can't be negated.

[GeorgeGist]

43. Great boast...

but how?

[WinstonSmith4740]

45. GOTV in November.

Flip the House blue, and start impeachment proceedings. Even the threat of impeachment would probably blow that asshole out of the Oval Office. The same rethugs who lit their hair on fire and impeached Clinton over a blow job will wring their hands and whine about the damage being done to the country. Nothing, NOTHING will do more damage to our country than this idiot. He'll either explode, or quit, all the time holding onto the mistaken idea that this will all end if he resigns.

I think most of us here have a fantasy of seeing him frog-marched out of the WH in cuffs, but I've gotten to the point where I don't care how it happens, as long as it happens.

[WinstonSmith4740]

44. Swalwell has been really impressive throughout this ordeal.

He's got a definite spine...I'd really like to see him on the ticket in 2020. I originally was thinking the #2 slot, but if he keeps going like he's been, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat.

[orangecrush]

47. As would I!
