Removing Trump from office is a matter of life and death.

[shockey80]

Trump has been and is a major national security threat. He has been subject to blackmail from day one from Russia, Saudi Aradia and probably other countries. If Russia does something like invading another country, Trump may not respond in a normal way.

Trump is extremely mentally ill. He is the worst type of Narcissist. He could do unimaginable things trying to protect himself. He could do unimaginable things just out of revenge.

The level of corruption Trump brought to the office is a major economic threat and could wreck all our lives. The level of deregulation he has done will get people killed. It probably already has.

Trump and his administration are completely corrupt and incompetent. They may not be able to protect us if something terrible happened.

We are all in grave danger. If we play politics with this situation will all could pay a heavy price. Trump must be removed as soon as possible. Our lives depend it.

1. Not without individual-1's protectors, McConnell and Ryan.

Ryan's self-removing himself, but McConnell is dirty with a pool of Russian money too. He'll protect Individual-1 politically with whatever deeds necessary, legal or not. But if you're talking Inividual-1's removal, you first have to get at his accomplices.

2. Good luck getting 20 Republican senators to vote for removal.

I don't like it either, but those are the facts.

5. exactly

plus - removal is not enough. It's not just trump - there are probably a dozen (mitch, ryan, etc) that are dirty too.
I don't think anyone ever thought of a scenario where you basically have a takeover of the gov by a corrupt party.

8. Comey is right (I know some here hate seeing that claim).

Impeachment lets Americans off the hook for that pig. We have to trash him like an old sandwich in the 2020 election, and gut his party in every other office, state and federal.

9. americans do that by dumping trump's enforcer. as long as limbaugh hannity can police

1500 radio stations and the russian trolls back them up, the cons will be afraid.

talk radio is the only thing keeping republicans in check - they know how important those stations are in their states and they see evidence in the primaries when dittoheads and parrots get the nod and those who challenge the trump limbaugh alternate reality are named as traitors.

when republicans see protests at radio stations and the 88 + universities that endorse them with sports broadcasts their advertisers will head for the hills and the monopoly will collapse

trump's most important ally will be done and so will trump

10. YES!

11. This is HUGE and vastly underreported. I just sent letters (again) to the Athletic Director and

Board of Regents of my state university. This Republican state-funded nonsense needs to be dismantled!

[certainot]

12. some of the regents have probably been elected with help from those stations

i've heard local interjection - local blowhards favoring or weeding out when it comes to regent elections and chancellor selections (so and so is way too liberal, bordering on socialist/communist) etc

one thing that might help is to get the uni debate team to make it a topic but it's dereliction of duty for progressive and dem orgs to keep ignoring this absurdity

3. I agree with everything you said.

However, Russia has already invaded our country. They have infiltrated us via our computers and other electronic devices, have affected the outcomes of elections, have sowed discord and unrest in the general population, have corrupted our political system and compromised one of our two political parties.
Trump was a willing vessel, waiting to be filled to the brim by Putin and other nefarious government officials.

4. The worst of it all . . .

. . . Climate change denial.

6. War and the economy

Trump being President, a job he is completely unfit for, could result in a catastrophic war. Or he could crash the economy so badly that it will take years to recover. Either way, Trump is a huge danger. We have been lucky so far. Can our luck hold out for another two years? I don't know. I have begun to think Trump can only be driven from office by voting him out. And even then if he refused to leave I don't know what happens. We can only hope that in two years he is exhausted and wants to go back to screwing off at mar-a-lago. And leaves peacefully or does not run in 2020 to begin with. Whatever the case, Trump is the worst ass cancer this country has ever experienced.

7. Check with the Constitution because it provides the only legal method to remove a sitting president.

And unless you are talking about a coup, that method is not going to happen anytime as soon as possible no matter how much we cry that the sky is falling.

13. the only way for 45 to be removed

is if enough GOPers insist on it. For the past couple of years, they have played along just happily and we're all F*ed because of it. Unless and until those GOP cowards sing, we're stuck with this mess. 45 can only do so much harm. The rest of those GOP F*ers have played along and they need to stop him and then will go down with him. This is not in the Dems "hands or cards."
