Kinda sorta opposed to impeachment

Yeah, yeah. He needs to be out of office.

And, sure some Republicans are making impeachment noises. But, really, do you trust Republicans?

So, let's say he's impeached. And let's say he beats it. Republicans rally to his defense. Talk about emboldening him! Sympathy. Poor, poor Donnie. Victim of fake news. Or he's out, and replaced by an equally vile and corrupt VP, but one who puts on a nice face and actually knows how stuff is done.

Resignation? I can't see him resigning. But if he does, same problem with Pence, cabinet, etc.

In the end, I think all energy should be directed to a special prosecutor, followed by subpoenas, public testimony, maybe whistleblowers, and maybe indictments, or the equivalent. The filth, corruption, treason, etc. exposed from the buffoon on down. Every single last one of them shamed, out, and maybe on their way to jail. I think it's the only way.

Trump needs to be removed from office by the same voters who voted for him, electing a Democrat president in 2020.

that T admin is actively destroying will be standing in 2020? That real democratic voting will even be possible? You are either dangerously naive or you are trolling.

Thats why it should have been / should be part of a coordinated effort that begins with the public
'Exercising' of GJ indictment based warrants
for a few KGOP House/Senate/Cabinet members....

To be immediately followed by an official DoJ rep giving house/senate notice of a GJ indictment for 45 ....

That would virtually eliminate any impeachment opposition by non-compromised Repugs.
