Personally I think elections are just anorher way democrats are trying to get the right people out of office and subvert democracy. Thecountry could fall if too many immoral people are allowed to vote.

It's only going to help Dems in November.
The desperation by the Republicans to cover up the treason committed by the Trump administration (and some of them as well) is getting to epic levels.
Make no mistake, we are witnessing an authoritarian Nationalist coup taking place. The complete subversion of law and order to obtain political goals.
It is astonishing that the GOP is seeking to repeat Nixon's Saturday Night Massacre.
Our country survived these attempts when Nixon tried this. Will it survive this time? I don't know. But get ready for an epic shit show, I called that the minute this was uncovered back in late 2016.

I hate to say it, but I think the Dems are going to stay home out of overconfidence and apathy (and maybe some fear) while the Trumpies will throng to the polls to save Dear Leader from the dire threat of accountability.While this is true the Republicans have just crossed another Rubicon and there are a lot of marginal voters who are going to be less inclined to think of Republicans as an alternative but a bunch of crazy bastards.

I have to BET there has been "Treason." I BET even heavier with my chips on the "Misprision of Treason" square. I BET even heavier than that -- to within a hair of a dead certainty -- there has been obstruction of justice, a transgression that has already been proven factually and inferentially in the news. From a scientific point of view, I cannot say I KNOW as a dead certainty that all of these crimes will prove out under the procedural bias of "reasonable doubt, " but people don't need to vote on a "beyond a reasonable doubt" basis, and a scientific understanding in the realm of "knowing" is never absolutely certain.
But that's the problem with the GOP and those still supporting the Trump White House. They assume that since Trump has not been convicted, then there is no basis for anything. This is an implicit logical contradiction, since one cannot declare "beyond a reasonable doubt" until there has been Impeachment, Indictment, Arraignment, Trial, and Conviction. Yet, the mounting quantity and frequency of evidence would lead any impartial investigator to investigate further -- with more resources and more energy. They merely want to take bigger and more foolish risks by keeping Impeachment "out of the question."
Given the few possible ways the Putin Summit will play out, Trump will be under withering fire from reasonable pundits and Democratic legislators. An absence of GOP legislators willing to move forward with impeachment, or to postpone the appointment of Kavanaugh given the shadow of criminal suspicion falling on Trump, can be falsely used to insinuate that this is "just a Democrat witch hunt."
And if the voters don't turn out to change the composition of the Congress in November, the crisis will grow -- it will not shrink.
The best we can hope for after that? That our assessment of Trump's limited intellect is accurate. He may be incapable of thinking ahead through any grandiose plans of consolidating his hold on power. He's not as literate as Hitler was: Hitler wrote his own book; Trump paid a ghost-writer.
I think the GOP is trying to avoid getting caught between a rock & a hard place. The way they're acting indicates they believe Trump to be guilty of impeachable acts, and they don't want to have to deal with it. If they're forced to impeach Trump & remove him from office, their base will go bonkers. If the evidence is there & they refuse to do so, they'll be hammered from the other direction.
Fuck 'em. I hope Trump drags 'em all down the shitter with him.
lol @ the democrats ...."we are going to get him now!!!"
Rosenstein had no authority to appoint Mueller and allow him to conduct a bogus investigation that has amounted to nothing. He had no mandate. There was no concrete proof of Trump colluding with Russia to win the election. And they have found nothing to that effect.
Fire Rosenstein's ass now~!
Rosenstein needs to get the boot and so does Mueller.
When Mueller was director of the FBI why didnt he investigate Russian interference back then? Russia has long tried to influence elections, it did not just start in 2016.
Mueller is a fraud who is only reason to exist now is some sort of October surprise in 2018 or 2020.
It wont work.
Indictments are not convictions.
Muellers office have only come up with ancillary crimes and process crimes.
THEY HAVE NOT FOUND SH related to collusion.
FIRE MUELLER, now!
Don't worry, collaborator. You'll be remembered.Indictments are not convictions.
Muellers office have only come up with ancillary crimes and process crimes.
THEY HAVE NOT FOUND SH related to collusion.
FIRE MUELLER, now!
Correct-How does impeachment of an appointment work? Same way as a president? Majority in house and then super majority in senate?
Treat this as basically a "I'm a treasonous shithead". Anyone that votes in favor ends up on a C130 to be jettisoned over Siberia.

Theater to keep the base rallied.. Come impeachment of Trump the same rules apply.. how to get it past the senate..As Jhhnn said, this is just more theater by House republicans. Ridiculous, disgusting, infuriatingly close to treason, but still theater.
I guess they feel the need to "keep the pressure on" as far as appeasing the base and people like Sean Hannity. That Strzok hearing certainly blew up in their faces, so the obstruction/face-saving efforts will continue.
The way we elect congress and even the presidency doesn't allow for real accountability. Also as soon as one fraction has manipulated the system to their benefit, there is no mechanism to fix the constitution.In a sane world voters would hold both executive and legislative branch accountable.
But we don't live in a sane and rational world.
Ah the poor SnowTrumpians, they assume an investigation into russian meddling is a conspiracy and an attack on Trump.lol @ the democrats ...."we are going to get him now!!!"

There is a difference between beginning impeachment and successful impeachment. The difference that is relevant to you is that at point A. beginning impeachment, you have a chance to march the streets and make your voice heard, at point B. successful impeachment its too late for anything.Looks like some click bait to me. I don't believe they are going to impeach Rosenstein and I think that Mueller's investigation will continue as it is until completed.
Just as it should.
I hate to say it, but I think the Dems are going to stay home out of overconfidence and apathy (and maybe some fear) while the Trumpies will throng to the polls to save Dear Leader from the dire threat of accountability.
A quick google showed me this:130 charges so far on 32 people.
This is very well worded.It should be noted that Trump has been concentrating on making good on all of those promises he made to his working class supporters that have absolutely nothing to do with improving their quality of life, their ability to climb the ladder of success, their ability to get better health care and quality education. He has however, exclusively hammered away on whatever makes his constituency feel good about themselves and whatever distracts them from his actual agenda: to enrich himself and by sheer coincidence, the elite class of the very wealthy he belongs to.
