Impeaching Donald Trump

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

1. When Democrats have to use focus groups just to figure out what to charge Trump with 

2. When everything else fails, they hope they’ll annoy him enough, so he’ll die from a heart attack before they lose another election

1. When Democrats have to use focus groups just to figure out what to charge Trump with 

Indeed, the luxury of being able to choose from several issues ...

2. When everything else fails, they hope they’ll annoy him enough, so he’ll die from a heart attack before they lose another election 

Health is no laughing matter, but it could provide an elegant escape route ...

Trump is the kind of guy who gives heart attacks; he doesn't get them.

But it could hurt Trump on another level. As recently reported, he underwent an unscheduled health exam on Saturday.

Fingers crossed for death to remove him now? 

[Alan Klein]

Then VP Pence would take over and become president and open up the Republican primary to other people as well.  That could be worse for the Democrats as would an impeachment that concluded with Trump being found guilty in the Senate, something Pelosi really doesn;t want.  What's the expression?  Watch what you pray for.

Want a wall-related laugh? Although the laugh is ultimately on the taxpayers.

1) Smugglers have shown that with a $100 reciprocating saw from Home Depot they can cut a hole in the wall fairly quickly.
2) It's been demonstrated that the wall can be scaled by someone as young as 8 in in 15 seconds.
3) Wall specs say it will be tunnel-resistant down to 6 feet. Six feet is nothing when these folks decide to dig a tunnel.

Good thing that three years in they haven't actually built any of it.

Another good reason to electrify the fence.

Well, if it cuts cross border crossing by 90%, than it's doing a good job.  Frankly, I don't think we need a wall.  All we have to do is arrest and jail a few employers.  Then the job market for illegals would dry up overnight and they'd stay home.  Cheaper and more efficient.  Then we could issue one year job visas for enough migrant workers to handle any jobs we need them to take.  Employers would have to sponsor and pick up health insurance for them so they don;t become a burden for the American taxpayer while they're here.   Who could complain about this?

Stephen Miller?

+ a water barrier + automatic shotguns within a 100m security zone... that will keep the Americans locked in for sure...

unless they use a plain, a tunnel or a boat to travel...

Americans, I have unbounded admiration for your doctors, who can undertake an examination lasting "approximately four hours" during a presidential visit which ended when "[a]fter a little more than two hours at Walter Reed, Trump returned to the White House". That's hard work at its best.

More seriously, it would be entirely unsurprising if detailed investigations showed some coronary artery disease in a 73-year-old American, particularly one with his reported fondness for burgers, even if asymptomatic.

Some of us have come to disbelieve anything coming out of the White House. Twelve thousand false or misleading statements and counting.

[Alan Klein]

Despite impeachment discussions the stock market is at its highest ever,  Trump pulled out of discussions with South Korea since they refused to contribute what we ask fir defense,  and trump threatened raising tariffs more if China doesn't make a deal.  Apparently his medical exam can't be that bad.   Or maybe it's worse than we think.

Okay, this may also be fake news, even thought I watched Pompeo mouth it on tv: the settlements on the Left Bank are now not illegal.

But hey, the only Pompeo I really appreciated was Pompeo Posar, late Playboy photographer. I once got a Christmad card from him... those guys were great photographers.

And throw a grounded cable over it to short it out, end of fence. Christ, how are these people so dumb?

It's been shown many, many times that immigrants add more to the economy than they take. This "burden on the taxpayer" crap is just that, crap.

Trump (right side of mouth): I did nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.

Trump (left side of mouth): To my aides: ignore your subpoenas because I don't want you to tell what I did.

All immigrants (including illegal aliens) or just legal immigrants?  Not trying to wise, just asking. 

I know with the latter, this is true, since legal immigrants tend to be more risk adverse.  But if you are implying the former as well, please site sources.

Americans pay $200 billion annually in illegal immigration costs
