Republican Believe the United States Is So Weak That It Couldn't Handle Removing Trump from Office
There are so many arguments that Republicans make regarding the impeachment of Donald Trump that range from blatant bullshit to explosive diarrhea. The laughably hypocritical cries of "Democrats hate this president" are lost every time Trump himself calls Democrats "traitors" who "hate the United States" and are "radical left" "socialists." And, yes, we all remember how Republicans acted like a lynch mob when it came to Barack Obama. So, you know, go fuck each other with your "hate" accusation.
The one that pisses me off more than any other is that "Democrats want to overturn the 2016 election." On the most basic level, this is utterly and completely false. We don't rewind to November 2016 and declare Hillary Clinton the winner. Goddamn Mike Pence becomes president. Every judge fisted through Mitch McConnell's Senate sphincter still has their job, including odious cuntfleas Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. Shit, everyone Trump appointed would probably be safer in their jobs than if Trump remains president. And, frankly, Republicans are more obsessed with 2016 now than Democrats are because they know, they fucking know, that Trump's victory is illegitimate and they have to do everything in their power to not let that fact become viral.
But even beyond, you know, facts, there is an insult to the American people in the assertion that somehow Trump's impeachment and removal from office would so upset Americans that they couldn't take it. It's like they want us to think that, for some reason, Donald fuckin' Trump, who is an overloaded garbage barge in an ill-fitting suit, is so intrinsic to the existence of the United States that the republic would crumble without him. And, surely, some of his most loyal chuds would have to learn to live without the center of their universe, but they can hock all that MAGA gear for cash for more oxy to ease the pain.
You know what would happen if Trump were removed? We'd all fucking breathe a sigh of relief, even a whole lot of Republicans. It'd be like the guards at the end of the film The Wizard of Oz after the Wicked Witch is melted, when the previously cruel men bow down and thank Dorothy for ridding them of her. Jesus, we'd all treat Adam Schiff like a god for freeing us.

(5,184 posts)if this President is removed, every single rethug who wishes to stand with him should be investigated for the same reasons. Abuses of power and a decided position that says they do not care about their country, they only care about holding onto wealth and power at the cost of their own country. Not to to mention, as I have also said before, every single person who paraded around with MAGA hats and strutted their ridiculously armed asses at trump rallies. We have the digital imagery to identify them so let them explain their blind worship of a party that will be shown as anti-American, either by the proceedings or by history, to the Feds. Because that is what will eventually happen, even if we are not around to see it.
Used to despise Russia and now they seem to have embraced them. R. Regan is turning in his grave as is Bush Sr. It is so disgusting!

Republicans are underestimating the American people.

(2,600 posts)which these kGOP-backed quislings obviously view the American public. They way they sat there in the well of the senate, spinning their toddler toys, doodling in the margins, checking their twitter feeds and the Dow, all but pulling out a stogie and putting their feet up on their collective desktops, was so blatantly, brazenly a two-handed middle finger to every single person viewing their Harry & Harriet High School theatrics.
God damn every fucking one of the miserable traitors and their *benefactors*: the Putin NRA and his useful idiot bobblehead *pResident*. God fucking damn them all to the bottom of hell.

90s, impeach Bill Clinton over lying about a blow job cause that was the greatest threat to democracy in our history.
W lied the country into Iraq, a horrible foreign policy disaster for our country, cost us a shit ton of money, the lives of thousands of our troops and physically and mentally scared tens of thousands more ... But, you could not impeach W because it would tear the country apart SAME SHIT they are saying now.
The only reason they did not impeach BHO was because he was SO disciplined and buttoned up. BUT, they seditious as hell - wrote a letter to Iran to NOT sign the treaty, other shit AND did nothing other than use congress to investigate Benghazi - when there were about a dozen out similar incidents under W.
NOW, starting up with the you can't impeach Trump because it will tear the country apart shit.
Point being ... They may be ginning themselves up to believe this, but what they are doing is what they ALWAYS go, make shit up as they go along, be hysterical and psyche themselves into it.
D POTUS make up whatever shit they can to destroy them.
R POTUS fucks up or does horrible shit and lose their minds trying to keep him from being dealt with.

(43,393 posts)due to fear, embarrassment, rigidity, or infallibility. Trump delivered for them. Their 60-year agenda of hatred is enacted. So no, they're not going to admit it. They are ecstatic. Bleeding the libs is the icing on the cake for them. They fear no consequences because they are either too old (most of them are), they know Trump will pardon all of them, and they know Democrats will only slap a few wrists because politics is politics and the country must move on to other priorities.
Trump exit is on us in 2020. Is it Truxit? I prefer Flush Trump!

(81,656 posts)So, no, dicks, we're not overturning the 2016 election. We're honoring the results of the 2018 one. You got a problem with that shit? Take it up with Alexander Hamilton. Amend the Constitution. Otherwise, suck on Article 1.
One other thing: Republicans keep saying that Trump may have fucked up, but it doesn't rise to "high crimes and misdemeanors." And I keep coming back to the word "misdemeanors" because, well, it seems like the people who wrote that were thinking, "There might be some little shit that's not worth putting someone in prison for, but it certainly indicates that a motherfucker shouldn't be president. Yeah, we should include that." We've all done a misdemeanor or two, like public drunkenness or trespassing or disorderly conduct or a little Molly. Maybe violated an oath.
Either way, though, the presentations over the last two days by Democrats have proven that Trump is plainly, extravagantly guilty of a bunch of shit, large and small, so the point's a bit moot. Tonight, in particular, Schiff has been brilliant in starkly presenting Trump as a feckless, narcissistic dupe for anyone who will glorify him and give him power. His final speech tonight was the closest I've seen to someone finally just burning the whole thing down.
Either way, though, Republicans will be unmoved, but they will keep slinging this bullshit rhetoric all the way through 2020. Sling it back at them.
