The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

@colton

it’s been made clear that there was an offer with regard to your posting patterns and beliefs. I believe you can now fairly institute a 3-month time out. Just a couple of clicks away, my friend. Tia.

imagine if Hillary or obama had said this about evangelicals? I mean, I remember the outrage when she (accurately) labeled a segment of our population as “a basket of Deplorables.” That was without putting kids in cages or forced sterilizations. Trump has actions to support his hateful rhetoric.

Im shocked at how little attention this is getting. I guess we just don’t have any standards anymore for anything. Replace the term “refugees” with “Mormons, Jews, Tutsi, etc” and you see how depraved this speech is. This is hate speech. Few leaders in the world do this. Trump joins just a handful of world leaders (none of them are our allies) to speak like this. It would get anyone else in America fired from their jobs.

Instead, Trump retains 40 percent of the population and maintains a decent chance of winning the presidency because of the electoral college. Which, goes to show how we need to abolish it. The EC was supposed to prevent tyranny, instead, it’s preserving it.

Just think how different this election would be right now if all that mattered was the popular vote? Trump would have to at least pretend to be moderate or else face a complete blowout.

If there is anyone on earth that fits into a basket of deplorables it's Hillary 1A and Trump 1A. If an actual not disgusting human being would have said that the backlash might have been lessened a bit.

I cannot think of a better description of Trumpers. You might not like it, but Hillary’s description was dead on. Sorry if it wasn’t PC enough for you, snow flake.

I'm not saying it wasn't accurate but coming from one of the top deplorable's in the country in every sense of the word it rings a bit hollow. And yes, before your loose butt starts to pucker, Trump also fits that word to a T.

Only a very unserious very low information voter would think that. Back onto the block you go.

While not against abolishing the EC, it would have to be done several years prior to the election. Trump, and future Republican candidates, would obviously spend time campaigning in California, NY, Illinois.

NAOS had to explain his post to me, but apparently someone I've got on ignore doesn't think I have "any inkling of Republican Party ethos" in me. (NAOS's words, not sure if that was a direct quote of the ignored poster or not). So, to clarify, I'll run down a few things.
  • I'm against abortion, and think it should be made illegal (with very limited exceptions)
  • I'm generally in favor of smaller budgets, less government spending
  • I'm generally in favor of less taxes, especially for low-to-mid income individuals
  • I was very anti- gay marriage, although that ship has sailed so I no longer make a big deal about it.
  • I'm very pro-religion when it comes to cases which involve balancing rights of individual's religious freedoms and views vs. responsibility to provide a public service (e.g. forcing cake makers to supply cakes at gay weddings when that goes against their religious views)
  • I thought Neil Gorsuch was a great Supreme Court choice (still do, as far as I know; haven't really tracked his specific opinions)
In January I left the Republican party in disgust at their worship of all things Trump, where I had been a member since 1988. I am now a member of the United Utah party, and agree with essentially all of their platform points. See https://www.unitedutah.org/platform. Look it over and see if it seems liberal or conservative to you. Since the Republican party itself no longer has a platform except for basically "do anything Trump says, believe anything Trump says" (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...6c057c-e61c-11ea-970a-64c73a1c2392_story.html), I can't say to what degree they agree or disagree with me on these things.

To borrow a phrase from Ronald Reagan, "I didn't leave the Republican Party. The party left me." (He said it about the Democratic Party.)

Thanks for posting this. I have different views but I truly respect people who stand for what they believe and can tell themselves: these are my core values and this guy (Trump or any other questionable leader) or party does not represent me anymore. Can't stand cult type mentality and the lack of critical thinking (e.g. Political Jazz Fan)
