DONALD TRUMP IS BEING WARNED BY ADVISERS ABOUT IMPEACHMENT

32. He never had any interest in doing the job
He wanted to spite Obama for the Correspondents' Club Dinner; he wanted to get rid of all sorts of rules and regulations because he doesn't like them and wants to cut corners; he wanted to get the Russians off his back by paying Putin with political favors; and most of all, he wanted the spotlight. Governing? B0-RING.
I think the light turnout and early departure of the crowd that did show up in Phoenix has shaken him to his malignant narcissist soul, er, open sore. That's the only reason he's not firing anybody who's trying to tell him to shape up.
Just give him a few days, though, he'll be back on his phone in the wee hours.

3. This seems more of an opinion/analysis piece and might be better in General rather than here in LBN.

5. Don't think this article is true. Why would they warn him about something Repubs won't do?
I think Newsweek created a clickbait headline.
It is at least as true as the Russian story...

44. They are not going to impeach him
they fear one thing more than anything else - their rabid base.
There is a reason 45 is poking the shit holes, it pits the "base" against them, he does that to highlight the repercussions if they were to act against him.
The greatest fear Rs have now are primaries - they can game the general election with gerrymandering, voter suppression, use of propoganda in general elections, but not in primaries because these things all target Ds and independents.
In primaries it is all about the sainted "base" and any move by any one of these scumbags to impeach 45 will very likely get them outsed in a primary.
You have never heard of our congressman, he is a typical asshole R and our district is hopelessly R. He will be our congressmen until he decides not be our congressman. BUT, if he were to vote to impeach 45 he would get pummeled in the primary.
Why on earth would Ryan or McConnell (who in their bones hate the evil liberal and that is all they know, anyways) try to make a move on 45 when they would have no one within their own party to back that play?
what the [R]s (establishment) fear is that the normal people in the USA are realizing that they (the [R](e)) aren't any better for the country than the [D]s.

48. Exactly. At this point it would be political suicide for an R to move against Trump
I've said it multiple times the base is with Trump. Trump is way more popular with the base than the Republican party is as crazy as that sounds.
With that said, I think we might get some movement in early 2019 after the midterms once they are safe under the hope that Republican voters will forgot or make peace with it come 2020.

53. We will lose both mid-terms 2018, and 2020's
Unless we unite to stop vote blocking.
Trump won because of 7 million blocked votes
See Twitter @Greg_Palast
I thought is was the Russians and the FBI...

9. Dude is asking for it. I think he wants it.
He knows what he's done. He knows all sorts of things about himself that we're not sure of, but he has to 'live' with. Cheater, liar, molester, rapist, probably a murder or two in there for all we know. Russia has him over a barrel, and he's tired, and it's getting tougher every day.
"**** you!" he'll probably say on mike near the end. "****ing impeach me already! Throw me in prison! I don't care!"
Aaaaaand we will.
And maybe we'll learn something. Who knows.

13. The thing is...
like Hitler and Germany, Trump will take the entire country down with him because we weren't worthy enough for his greatness.

30. Based on today's Maddow reports, Trump is not POTUS. He is a Russian
agent and enemy combatant of the US and must be arrested NOW and indicted under the Espionage Act

34. His no 1 goal is to kill the investigation, no 2 is to avoid jail
Impeachment is lower down his list.

39. If it happens quickly...
...he will be cleared by the Republican Congress... then, what?
The DUmpmonkiez aren't the sharpest tacks in the drawer...

63. "Trump has been receiving words a president typically never wants to hear"
Typically? This is anything but typical.
Trump might want out before he faces the possibility of prison.
Let's let Russia pardon him. He can leave America and never return in exchange for his leaving America and never returning. Win/win.
Trump's reelection in 2020 will be awesome.
