He made that suit look good, too!! If only that was all we had to worry about now.
Impeach Donald Trump.
A list of advantages taken from this must-read article:
(https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/03/impeachment-trump/580468/)
“Starting the process will rein in a president who is undermining American ideals…With a newly seated Democratic majority, the House of Representatives can no longer dodge its constitutional duty. It must immediately open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Trump, and bring the debate out of the court of public opinion and into Congress, where it belongs.”
1) “The first is that once an impeachment inquiry begins, the president loses control of the public conversation….Day after day, newspapers splashed the proceedings across their front pages….His ability to sidestep scandal by changing the subject—perhaps his greatest political skill—will diminish.”
2) “As Trump fights for his political survival, that struggle will overwhelm other concerns. This is the second benefit of impeachment: It paralyzes a wayward president’s ability to advance the undemocratic elements of his agenda.”
“It is, rather, the extraordinary elements of Trump’s presidency that merit the use of impeachment to forestall their success: his subversion of the rule of law, attacks on constitutional liberties, and advancement of his own interests at the public’s expense…Impeachment puts his own job on the line, and demands every hour of his day…There may be no more effective way to run out the clock on an administration than to tie it up with impeachment hearings.”
3) “The third benefit is its utility as a tool of discovery and discernment…The process of impeachment can also surface evidence”…((Fake news ends up being substantiated + Trump’s audience shifts to Senators in Congress.))
4) “Hosting that debate in Congress yields a fourth benefit: defusing the potential for an explosion of political violence. This is a rationale for impeachment first offered at the Constitutional Convention, in 1787.”
5) “And what if the Senate does not convict Trump? The fifth benefit of impeachment is that, even when it fails to remove a president, it severely damages his political prospects.”
“Many, including Al Gore, think that the impeachment cost Gore the election.” (Paul Rosenzweig)
Impeachment is “a process that should be triggered only when a president’s betrayal of his basic duties requires it. But Trump’s conduct clearly meets that threshold.” If not now, when.
Ah! Remember when Lindsey had a thought about liars … that weren’t in HIS party that fueled is self interest? For a blow job, mind you! Not an attack on our democracy and accepting help from a foreign govt to help win an election. ITMFA

Damn 😳
great question….what are the folks in the diary…answer
Mr. Mueller laid out a detailed roadmap = heavy lifting done!
-Dems in Congress can walk, talk and chew gum.
Advantages regardless of outcome: (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2019/03/impeachment-trump/580468/)
Mueller report = The “mother of all kitchen table issues.”
“And let’s remember Manafort finagled himself into the role of running Trump’s campaign, doing the work for free.
And for whose benefit?
Certainly, the Mueller report indicates without equivocation that the Russians believed Trump presidency would benefit them.
And are we foolish enough to believe Putin and the Russians care about the healthy and secure futures of American workers?
Of America’s children?
Americans are smarter than that.
But to figure all this out, Americans must be sitting at their kitchen tables talking about the Mueller report and our ability to pick our own president, one who will support Americans having access to healthcare, education, good jobs, clean drinking water, and overall viable futures.
This is why the Mueller report is the mother of all kitchen table issues.”
(Tim Libretti)

“the Mueller report tells us a lot about how our president is being chosen for us—and not so much by us.”
(eh can’t wait to get these mitts on a copy of the M. Report!)
thanks and super-hugs to you Bobfr !!!!!!
Thank you SOOOO much!!!!
You’re most welcome bridgeriverpass & df!!
You know I have said this before, Trump is not totally the blame for this. The Republican Party who know what Trump is, but yet they remain silent and look the other way. They are just as bad as Trump.
Works for me
I want to know why 37% STILL support this traitor and pathological liar!
Well wishes and positive thoughts
Sorry to hear that about Singleton, he directed Remember the Time for Michael Jackson
I like them both but (is it me or) does one of ’em look like a cardboard cut-out? (Take your pick which one!)
THIS looks interesting!
Good
THANK GOD.
Traitor. The Play.

❤️💙😍💜🧡💛💚😍. Miss him so! 😥
Sharing a quick funny story from my friend in Florida (she’s my age, 72, and very sweet and non-confrontational). She was shopping today and, on her way back to her car, walked by some outdoor tables at a cafe. Two gentlemen she did not know – one black, one white – were talking at one of the tables. The black gentleman said something positive about President Obama, which she overheard, but the white guy responded with something disgustingly pro-trump (I’m doing the editing here 🙂 ). My friend said she all of a sudden stopped in front of their table, looked at the white guy and said, “I LOVE PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!” He said something like oh no you’re wrong, smiling, but she turned on her heels and went to leave. The black gentleman laughed and said, “Come back, I need you to say more!” They were obviously buddies, having a calm conversation until she came along, and were both smiling at her even after her outburst, but she was really, really disgusted – and let’s just say it was uncharacteristic for her to blurt that out. Lots of trump people around her, where she lives, which she normally ignores big time … but not today. I toasted her from afar!
“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” 🙂
🙂 Good for her!
Next time I see her, we’ll drink to President Obama!
Great idea, Booms! Have one for me!
Proud of your friend. It shouldn’t be a risk to speak the truth but nowadays it appears anything can happen.
Yes, unfortunately. My friend wasn’t going to let something like a risk stop her – she’s audacious! – plus there were lots of people around, not that she took the time to think of that, sounds like. Go, Obama!
Reading the redacted report now….amazing in its detail
As if the stories couldn’t get any worse. Glad they got one of these effers. This guy looks like trump’s evil twin.
pasty white guy with no brains. Another one off the streets. Good news. Good grief.
Ugh.
Thread
An impressive summary. Thank you for sharing, df!!
Very welcome, Bobfr! Thanks for posting the searchable version of the report. Reading now
Look who else liked it:)
Really worthwhile ….
Good morning, df……..and everyone else. Happy and Blessed Easter to all. He is not here. He Is Risen!
Morning sweetness!
Awfulness:

i will hold not my breath …because i do not believe those same newspapers will call for the impeachment of Donald Trump…i’m not sure if those newspapers are still around
Come the hell on!
Why would ANYONE believe ANYTHING that comes out of Sanders’s mouth?
If I was a member of the the press, I wouldn’t show up to listen to Sarah’s lies. Let her come out to an empty room. Stay at the office and dig for the truth to share with the public. Not gonna find truth in THIS White House!!!
I think exactly the same DF.
I really wish they would
If I was a member of the the press, I wouldn’t show up to listen to Sarah’s lies. Let her come out to an empty room. Stay at the office and dig for the truth to share with the public. Not gonna find truth in THIS White House!!!
Rudy Giuliani is on Jake Tapper’s SOTU. His face and head is covered in perspiration which is quite noticeable on tv. I suppose this would happen especially when one’s mouth is capable of only lying (I have the tv muted, I have no idea what he is saying but … whatever it is, I doubt it’s the truth).
Happy Easter. We hope for renewal and the coming of spring and new growth.
Dropping this here
Wow. This is what they’ve allowed themselves to believe. Given themselves permission to take help from foreign adversary to ‘win’ election . That’s fucked up
Interesting thread
Bottom line
Our Forever President
Contrast. Millions were killed in Sri Lanka?
I guess the idiot thought he deleted this tweet. Surprise!
Exactly! An absolute non starter. They need to do the right thing. It’s not that hard
Is everyone at church? Sleeping in? Eating Easter candy in a sugar trance? Am I all alone?!🐇🐇🐇
You will never be alone, sunshine.
Thank you, sweet man! I was afraid everyone was gone off doing something and it was left here talking to myself again. So glad that that’s not the case:) Morning, Mister!
You are not alone. 😊

Thank you, JER!! 😘
The Guardian 10 mins ago reported 207 dead and seven arrested. Social media blackout to prevent fake news.
Hospital reporting that the victims are from USA, Denmark, China, Japan, Pakistan, Morocco, India, Bangladesh, Turkey.
Muslim, Buddhist, Hindi, Christian communities donating their blood. Police may have been killed while seeking the killers.
Q. How did fake president come up with “138 million people”? Is he going to correct that?
Because he’s a flaming idiot that doesn’t care about facts. He disrespects the people that really DID die in this horrific attack
No. He corrects nothing. Ever. Because he always thinks he’s right.
Humans are not separate…we are not separate…so much delusion by Trump and his blind followers who act as though separate and apart.
Trump is a danger to society and must be removed.
Hummmm
I was just wondering the same. Turned on AM Joy hoping to see him there, but nothing.
Something happened. No sure what. He’s always on… now, nothing. He’s been saying everything that’s in the report for some time now… why wouldn’t he be on now?
I will try and check on Twitter…(only thing on Twitter I check is Devin Nunes Cow 😂.).
Maybe he has been posting stuff there.
Correct, Sir
Pleasant diversion:) Dance like no one is watching:)
So much law to rely on
This guy nails it every time.
Required reading. I’m crying. This should be sent to all Dems as they proceed forward. This is where we are and we shouldn’t fool ourselves. We must do the right thing to hold all these criminals accountable. There is no time to waste. None!
Thank you for posting this,meta. Really needs to go viral
It really is the unvarnished truth and deeply heartbreaking. We are on the brink.Everyone needs to face the TRUTH and then take ACTION.
HOW did this become the meme…the drumbeat that is beating ever louder….as Jill WineBanks has said…the House needs to conduct hearings to show and educate the American People about the criminality of Trump and his people….
the pundits seem to not care that the Republican controlled Senate will never remove Trump from office….so then what….
and because Pelosi has another way of handling this…she is beng called weak…ineffective…scared….when just a few months ago she was called a genius…powerful…etc…
tired of the gateway pundits who seem to think that they know what is best…keep in mind …they were instrumental in helping Trump getting elected in the first place….they have never been held account for that
Then you have Warren coming out throwing her weight around calling for impeachment …when she will never get a vote to impeach….do you think that she spoke to Pelosi…….Warren.implied that she has more of a moral compass than Pelosi…
reminds me when she implied that Pres Obama was corrupt when it came to TPP…
can’t watch any of the cable news shows
Happy Bunny Day, Nerdy darlin’!!!
Think about this. Washington, Lincoln, FDR, Kennedy, Obama……all the majestic and important to people that went before. And there’s this jerk. He’s an asset alright
JHC, this moron does nothing but sit in front of garbage TV day in and day out. UGH.
Bingo
Another very important thread

Sorry. Here
Who could negotiate with Hitler?
Or his cohorts.
The fake holier-than-thou must realize that Mafia Don wants to lock up anyone/everyone he decides is against him.
Impeachment will put the pressure where it should be. Tie him up. And surface more evidence publicly.
-GOAL is to make doublezilliontriple sure we get him out.
-Requires an all-out attack from every conceivable angle on his seasoned criminal arse.
New post.
