um.. what exactly could anyone do to Trump even if he defies the Supreme Court???

who could arrest the President? US MArshals?
What if the Pres orders his Secret Service to prevent his arrest by US MArshals?
After January 20, 2021 he wont be president if he loses the election, which looks mere and more likely if he isn't impeached first. I don't think the SS would prevent his removal on or after that date after the next president is sworn in.

Let me see if I understand your logic here: so asking a foreign government to investigate a political opponent doesn’t warrant an impeachment but investigating the president for violating the law, a duty set forth by the constitution, constitutes election meddling?

You people are fucked in the head.
probably not allowed access to the US constitution from moscow, it might blow their minds if allowed to read it.

Wouldn't it be awesome if trumps impeachment also meant people like Mitch, graham, pompeo, Barr, Nunez, and all the other sycophants that have attached themselves to trump, also get removed? Talk about draining the swamp!
at this point it's not a swamp but a cesspool
cesspool
noun

cess·pool | \ ˈses-ˌpül \

Definition of cesspool



1 : an underground reservoir for liquid waste (such as household sewage)



2 : a filthy, evil, or corrupt place or state

Doesn't have to be about something other than Ukraine. Just as long as it's a new finding that is big enough to stick out and simple enough to understand in just a few words. I truly hope they are not waiting for public opinion to change. To be in that spot greatly underestimates their power to dictate what their lot thinks they believe by simply supplying the narrative. Any resistance to accepting the abandonment of Trump would fade readily after his removal, at which point I expect the average Trump defender to not even believe they ever really supported him that much in the first place and to use rationalizations to justify what little support they admit to ever providing.
Pelosi has come out saying the the election is secondary, if they lose the house after the impeachment so be it.

I wonder if it's possible for the next president to issue a blanket EO rescinding all of trump's on their first day in office. Can you just imagine the reaction from the right?

I asked the same question and apparently the next President could simply say all executive orders signed between x day to y date are no longer to be followed. Would likely cause some temporary chaos with processes.

Well, he's just trolling the kids for the lulz, it's you whose delicate sensibilities were offended. And it's fake news anyways, and a conspiracy....and if it was true who cares anyways, he's the president....and we have it on good authority that the president can't commit crimes.
I'm beginning to believe that his parents should be charged for having him. :p

Or they could both live in the White House and make a reality show. Real World: The White House.

They'll roll him out strapped to a gurney & heavily sedated if necessary.

What if he disappears the night before inauguration day and 150 years from now while doing renovations they uncover his bones buried in the basement or the rose garden

Should I "Like" all of the posts or just one? I feel it's unfair to all the other members if I "Like" all of them.

Anyone listening/watching the President meltdown on live TV? I heard it’s really, really bad. Apparently Finland’s leader has an “oh, the horror” expression as well standing next to him.

Supposedly Pompeo was on Trump''s call with the Ukrainian president. If true, Trump might be toast.
Jeeeebus ... I thought that maybe there was a small chance that Pompeo was one of the grownups ... is he knee deep in all the criming too?

I was holding out hope that Pompeo *might* have been one of the whistleblower’s sources for the phone call, hence why he wouldn’t want to draw attention to his involvement.

Let’s see what the SD IG says about the “urgent concern”.

If you can't imagine a scenario wherein he calls off the elections or postpones them indefinitely "while we figure out this interference business" (or something similar), then start getting ready for it.

It will turn into a coup with him at the lead, and will end, hopefully quickly, with an insurrection.

Kind of like how we need an immigration ban to figure out what the hell is happening? Have we figured out what the hell is happening yet?
