In a sane world, Trump would be dragged from the White House

Yeah, I know. He hasn't been convicted of a crime.

Actually, when most of his crimes are right out in the open, how long do you put up with a maniac holding the power of the presidency?

Has America gone totally mad? If the Founding Fathers had King George III in their position, they would have deported him at best, or hung him at worst.

Yet here we are, doing NOTHING, while the Republican Party does NOTHING.

Oh, yeah. The Constitution.

So I guess we wait until our Constitution has been totally neutered and all power has been taken away from us. Is that our plan of action? Evidently it is.

So now, I'll get posts asking: "What's the alternative?" And my answer is "I don't have a good one."

But I suspect that if we continue to travel down the current path, our democracy will vanish if/when that "blue wave" doesn't happen.

And if it doesn't happen, I suspect that millions will reach a conclusion as to what alternative is available to us.

Congress is currently "owned" by the Republican Party.

And that means we have no safeguards.

There should be laws that apply to the president and those laws should be enforced by non-partisan officials.

Drumph remains in office, as the gop does nothing to remove him and he can wreck the entire country bigly through spite.
