Taking bets on Trump impeachment

[someoneyouknow]

No, not me, though it would be interesting, but some folks across the pond are taking bets Trump will be impeached or resign some time in the next four years. In one case the bet is for impeachment within the next six months.

The odds quoted in this article have changed due to the number of bets being placed so don't count your winnings yet. As always, read the fine print.

Those in control of the impeachment process have already shown that they will live with everything vile he has to hand out, so I wouldn't count on impeachment. And I'm sure he can just sit back and let Pence deal with any of the work he doesn't want to do (he's already doing that with the transition), so I don't see him quitting either.

I do see him regretting that he ran/won, which I'm happy to see him suffering. No matter what he says he can't not understand that coming out into the open like this has made obvious that he's hated by most just for who he is/says/does/represents, that most of his support comes from the dregs of the earth, and that everything he does is going have a spotlight shown on it and be publicized and put into the record to be seen forever.

Dreg's of the earth? Is that something akin to deplorables? I don't really know what your political ideology is or care but when you start labeling people as dregs of the earth or deplorable because they don't think or believe your particular brand of group think then what does that make you?

I'd tell him to kiss my deplorable ass, but he might enjoy it.

The guy has NO problem of any kind being a total hypocrite, as long as it's for (D) anything goes with him.

Because all the labels Republicans cast out over the last 8 years makes them angels.

 

[magicalmoments]

I'm picking he will not see out his first term and his departure will be related to conflict of interest issues in his business arrangements.

 

[Boxlicker101]

I don't believe he will resign, except maybe for poor health. I also don't believe he will be impeached but, if he does, he will not be convicted. Possibly Trump will not run for a second term.

I see non or less regressive (D)'s and everyone else taking the regressive (D)'s own labels and shoving them back up their ass far more often than (R)'s just casting out labels.

Socialist and commie are about it, (R)'s don't really have to go any further than that.

No, I label them as dregs of the earth because they sat there like everyone else and heard and watched Trump do and say one slimy thing after the other and were duped into thinking that this "it's all about me" crooked billionaire was a populist here to save "the little guy." It's because they sat there and let him fuck them over with a smile. It's because they are dumber than rocks. And then they went out and voted for him. That's why I call them the dregs of the earth.

Out of curiosity, whom has The Donald fucked over since becoming POTUS? That's not to say I trust him at all, but I do think he's less crooked than Hillary. I believe in Nov. we were faced with two od the most dishonest candidates in history. FWIW, I didn't vote for either of the bums.

First thing he did was increase the cost of mortgage insurance for people with FHA loans. With an unconstitutional executive order no less!

Then your opinion is along the ideological group thing you've embraced and you were already labeling other people. Truth be told it comes down to jealousy and resentment. Trump could have been defeated if the candidates running against him had broken away from party modes and shown some originality, compassion for the people funding the governmental train wreck and recognized that globalism and political correctness were feel good fallacies. Your more then welcome to call me dregs of the earth, I've my own opinion of you.

a losing bet.

If (R)'s don't go vote in 2018 to stave off the retaliation vote?

The (D)'s will impeach him any number of things they Cheered Obama for.

So it could happen, for real for real.....if (R)'s want to keep it they better get the fuck off their ass's and do a whole lot better than this past November because (D)'s are all in a fit and will be.

You need to meet articles of impeachment. not just have a majority in the house.

Response to the above?
Questioning crowd size and saying he never dissed CIA don't count for much.
Not sure what his other directive on Obama Care. does

LOL you don't think our law makers can't twist up some shit to impeach him for?

Wake up.

If (D)'s take control of congress, which is likely because (R)'s don't vote for shit, Trump is getting impeached.

No. it's a thorough legal process that even dems would oppose moves to "twist" or change laws just to impeach a US president and set that precedent.

Wake up.

I initially thought you were from other threads, but now I now you're in a coma still.

U'll end up an eternal activist; without a cause.

All it will take is for one of the ongoing investigations about Trump and his associate's contacts with the Russians to reveal some kind of collaboration or quid pro quo. At that point all bets would be off as to how long Trump would last.

The FBI already declared that the intercepted communication has no foul in them.

But such a scenario could cause it yes - if associates have proven faulty dealings -, only if it links directly to the president. Ex: Oliver North took the fall, not Reagan.

 

[Boxlicker101]

I don't know if it occurs to anybody but anything Trump did, and it still remains to be seen if he did anything wrong, was done BEFORE he became POTUS. Can someone be impeached for something he or she did before taking office? I really have my doubts.

Even if that comes to pass, which I don't expect, there is no chance of a conviction. The Dems would never be able to convince 2/3 of the senators to vote for it.

How much money do you think Silly Hilly collected from foreign governments during her campaign for POTUS?

Trump impeachment process set to begin

Democratic Representative Al Green of Texas is expected to submit articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump Wednesday in the first legislative step for any congressional bid to force a sitting president from office.

“Obstruction of justice by the president is the problem,” Green said Tuesday. “Impeachment by Congress is the solution.”

Green first officially called for Trump’s impeachment during a fiery speech on the House floor last month. He contends that the president deserves to be removed for allegedly engaging in obstruction of justice by firing former FBI Director James Comey during the agency’s investigation into Russia’s possible meddling in the 2016 election. His appeal came amid revelations of a Comey memo that claimed Trump had asked him to drop an investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

“This is not about the president and firing someone else. It’s about him firing the FBI director,” Green told NBC News after his speech. Since that congressional address, Green has said he has received racially charged death threats.

Hillary didn't win, so I don't know why you bring her up. But to answer your question, none. It isn't permitted under current election law to accept donations from foreign governments. If she had accepted any, the DOJ would come down hard on her, just as they did in 1996 with Torricelli.

Unless, you have the opinion that the current DOJ under Jeff Sessions is incompetent or lazy. I could agree with either of those, or both.

 

[Boxlicker101]

I think what you mean is that this one Congress critter is farting around and wasting his time and that of others. He may be joined by a few others, such as Maxine Waters, but not enough to amount to anything.
