That's why we need to organize and massively vote for Democrats in the Midterms. Trump will only face justice when Democrats investigate his criminal organization.


    Agreed...the spineless Repubs will not budge until they politically are forced to. With what more will come out beforehand, I see enough of a blue wave in Nov to have him impeached in the House. By the time it gets to the Senate, my guess is there will be more than enough crime & wrongdoing clearly shown that even most repubs will be forced to vote to remove. That is if he doesn't resign first...a distinct possibility. A wild ride ahead.

    Amateur hour again on the politics forum.  The MAGA folks are skewering McCain.  At least they're taking a break from shooting the Hillary and Obama arrows from the MAGA quiver.

    She's finished... I believe she speaks for herself. Pretty funny how everyone accuses Trump of everything they can think of on the left, from media people to elected officials yet you use this person that has no position as a bellwether to speak for the Republican Party... Come on November...

    Just thought this phrasing was funny.  That would seem to be the opposite of spineless.

    You are right about the first part of your statement, maybe. As for the second part we need to understand Impeachment is a political process. Senate Republicans will only vote for Impeachment if the Trumpards give up on their Dear Leader. They will never do so. So this whole talk is a moot point. The Republican Party sold out this country long before Trump ever entered the picture, decades ago. To expect them to have a conscience now or ever again would be to expect Jesus Christ to return. Never gonna happen.
