No. Ousting Trump requires a 2/3 vote in the United States Senate. There isn't the political will. The election is only 10 months away. It's pointless.

Not going to happen. He will troll you to that end, though.

How do you figure Trump is worse than Samoza, Noriega, Pinochet, etc? He doesn't even kill his political adversaries like the Clintons have done.

Not a chance.

He'll be more like Reagan and avoid using US troops.

It was pointless. The TV ratings for this are half what the Kavanaugh hearings were. People are completely bored with it.

Exactly, and he's been currying favor with evangelicals, pro-lifers, pro gun groups, etc. They will ALL be voting for him with enthusiasm in 2020.
Drlee wrote:At the end of the day, Mitch McConnell is far more powerful than Trump. Indeed at this moment could, with a few phone calls, tell Mr. Trump, "you're fired".
Which he will never do since he and Trump are remaking the judiciary and with Trump's reelection, quite possibly another two SCOTUS picks.

That's what he's done to the US establishment just by winning. They were all set to give us Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton. They are trying desperately now to find a replacement for Biden. There is no strong neoconservative in the race. However, Trump upset free-riding NATO members, Mexico, China, etc. Like him or hate him, he's consequential.

The Democrats have made it pretty clear that impeachment is because they don't trust voters to "remove" Trump in 2020. In other words, they oppose the will of the electorate.

Both parties support human trafficking and illegally resident populaces to work without standing to sue for oppression. The Democrats even set up sanctuary cities and states to prevent the federal government from stopping the labor exploitation.
