Maxine: Impeachment isn't enough.

Maxine Waters? @MaxineWaters 1h1 hour ago

Women are outraged and fed up with this President. Impeachment isn't enough. Should we explore exile?

Maxine Waters? @MaxineWaters 1h1 hour ago
When Trump goes to kiss Putin's ring at the G20 meeting, maybe he should just return to Russia w/ him & their favorite amb. Sergey Kislyak.

I'd prefer to see Trump, Pence, Ryan, McConnell, Sessions, and Gorsuch spend their remaining days rotting behind bars. Preferably in one of those for profit prisons they're always endorsing.

Even better if they're Muslims, too. Or, of some other religion, or lack thereof, that they hate.

Two are in the San Diego area and I will be there with bells on. There are many "sister" protests in other cities. We have good Indivisible and Dem groups here. They go to Issa's office every single Tuesday! There were two Die-Ins/candlelight vigils this week too.

Trump was living very well before he was elected and he will live very well even if he is impeached and removed from office.

He has enough palatial properties in foreign countries that he will live very well even if exiled. He certainly wasn't mingling with ordinary Americans before he was elected, so he won't miss them at all.

Unless we can figure out a way to give Trump a black skin and make him live in Mississippi, he's going to do better being punished than most of us do at our peak.

Load them up in ships and send them to the moon. They can build their own empire. One way trip so they can NEVER hurt the people of earth again.

This hideous man is an ignominious ignoramus who must be dragged out of the WH and locked up in an asylum. The top level GOPs who colluded with him need to be locked up behind bars for treason - all of them.

As despicable as he is, he's still a citizen, and I'm pretty sure we can't exile citizens. Nor should be do so. Or be able to.

but it might be a self imposed exile. Trump is destroying his brand here in the U.S. and most of the world. All except one place. Hmmm, where might that be? Hey, let's call Uncle Vlad, he might know!
