he needs to *resign*. that needs to be our catchphrase. he needs to *resign*.

when they ask about impeachment, we need to remind them that he should *resign*.

we shouldn't *have* to impeach a president that everyone knows is a criminal.
we shouldn't *have* to impeach a president who openly solicits foreign espionage on political opponense.

we shouldn't *have* to figure out an impeachment "plan b" because the senate is in on the corruption.

we shouldn't *have* to worry about the timing of the investigations for maximum political effect.

because anyone who cares about the country should be demanding his resignation.


and then the only question the media would ever ask him is *why haven't you resigned yet?*

Why haven't Democrats been demanding Trump resign. It doesn't hurt to say it. There is no downside.

Do we really want Trump to be pardoned? Trump is way worse than Nixon ever was and I absolutely believe that Pence would pardon him in 2 seconds

If a Democrat wins in November, Donald fraud will let pence be president for one hour on January 20, 2021, for the sole purpose of pardoning him and his family.

The latest headline on the topic is our impeachment-averse Speaker saying we’re not even close on impeachment. Now he's supposed to somehow resign?

And I have no illusions about Donald fraud simply doing it because we ask.

That's not at all the point

Not as long as there’s a ray of hope that he can become the premier fascist / autocrat of the planet.

I just want the media to maintain the norm that someone who brings that much shame to the office should resign.

I just want to embarrass republicans who insist on covering for him

An important post

I've asked myself this before...why the FUCK aren't people calling on him to resign? Anyone else would have been shamed and humiliated into doing it by now. Congress is essentially telling us elected officials are nothing but a joke

And they wonder why only half the eligible people in this county vote

Any democratic president who did a fraction of this crap would be hounded from office. They wouldn't need to impeach him. And many democrats would be ashamed to support such a president.

But republicans? Not only does Donald fraud get a free pass on all his sleeze, but no Republican is held to account for supporting him. Why don't they hound his supporters in the washington, asking them if it's getting hard to stand by him when he keeps saying crap like this?

But they get a free pass too! And yet these same people will be held out as moral authorities, I'm sure, when the next democratic president uses the wrong fork for salad or something....
