I'm not holding my breath on it actually happening but the very thought it could has already got some blue checks in a panic.

What are they going to impeach Biden for?  Being a terrible president?

What was Trump impeached for (twice)?  Writing mean tweets?

When Gingrich was Speaker, I read several comments as to how that position was even more powerful than the President's.

"Without a Twitter account."  LOL, Hawkmoon

Yeah, as President, that's a goodbye.  But he could pull a Hillary, as when she moved to New York to establish residency and ran for Senate in that g-d-forsaken  blue State.

He could establish residency in a firmly red state and run for the Senate or House from there.  'Cause we dearly need a couple of bulls in those china shops. Yowsa yowsa.

As in, the GOP hasn't won the mid-terms yet? It ain't chicken-counting. It's a campaign promise: vote for us, and we'll impeach Biden.

Yes, as in the GOP winning the mid-terms.  Lots of assumptions being made about how it's a sure thing.  It is not a sure thing, not by a long shot.

This is all politics is any more.  Vote for us and we'll hurt them.

And without a Twitter account.
I still think we should do the opposite.  Pass a law required every federally elected office to join a social media outlet and personally (no assistants) post something every day.  Might end up being nothing, but could be a lot of entertainment. 

I always liked seeing Trump's tweets versus hearing the media tell me what he said.  I think a lot of people have some odd ball idea that elected politicians are statesmen or something.  Requiring them all to post messages might help people leave behind that antiquated idea and move into reality.  Realize just what idiots a lot of them are if they don't already know.

. . .  Realize just what idiots a lot of them are if they don't already know.
I've seen at least one first-term congressman say words to the effect that now that he was in the legislature himself, he was shocked at how unimpressive a lot of his long-serving colleagues were when speaking to them face-to-face, away from the cameras.
Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

me too, I was really,REALLY, against Trump, I thought he was another Ross Perot - put there to hand the election to Hilary.

 I was so, so, so .... wrong.  I loved the 45 presidency more than any other in my lifetime, he was the most fun President in history.

 I wonder if he can make a comeback, but I suspect the D's would instigate genocidal civil war rather than allow a Trump 47

Like you I hated Trump at first... and he gobsmacked me by being a pretty great president for the first three years.  He kind of was terrible for the last year though.  I am ready for someone else now.

Right now I'd like to see him pull a Hillary and establish residency in a purely red state and get himself elected as a Representative or Senator.

I'd sure like to hear him on the floor of either house.  Yowsa !

And not that my legal knowledge of how censures work in the houses is any good, he'd probably be impregnable to Leftist attacks.

By "pull a Hillary," I mean when HRC moved to Noo Yawk, barely established residency in that purely blue state, and got to be a Senator, much to the orgasms of every woman in Noo Yawk.  I don't think that's slander. Is that slander?

Didn't JFK Jr. conveniently die in a private plane crash thus vacating the candidacy just in time for Hillary to pick it up?

If you're alleging what I think you're alleging, there's no proof of that. And with respect to "proof":


There is no proof without evidence.

There is no evidence without investigation.

There is no investigation without suspicion.

But suspicion without proof is paranoia, so shut up, you paranoid conservative.

If by some quirk of fate or body of prayer that Trump ever became Speaker of the House, I'd love to watch his choices in Committee assignments.

"Leftwards, are you?  No Committees for you!"

Except maybe an appointment to the Committee on Building Janitorial Services.

That might end up being a committee of 435 ÷ 2 = 217.5 Leftists.

The Clinton’s are evil, but they’re not THAT good at making murder seem like an accident.  JFK Jr fell victim to spatial disorientation due to being unqualified for IFR and not turning the *expletive deleted*ck around when he encountered IMC while on a VFR flight.  He didn’t look at, or didn’t believe, his instruments and wound up in a “dead man’s spiral” until he went CFIT (in this case the terrain was water).  It was a VERY classic case of a rich guy buying way more plane that he skilled to fly and being as arrogant as the stereotype in believing his money conferred skills not in evidence.  He darwinated himself.  While likely not an unwelcome result from HRCs perspective it didn’t require (or involve) any skullduggery on her part.
