There’s no magic legal spell to remove Donald Trump from office. Americans are just going to have to stand up and fight his abuses of power. The pattern is so familiar that it almost starts to feel rational. Nearly every day, for the six-month slog that has been the Donald Trump presidency, it’s gone like this: The president or someone in his administration does something previously unthinkable, then legal pundits take to Twitter and the airwaves to ponder whether it was legal or constitutional or criminally prosecutable. Can the president truly continue to enrich himself and his family by leveraging his office to benefit from foreigners? Can the president really fire the FBI director and admit he was thinking about the Russia probe while doing it? Can the president leak classified information to the Russians in the Oval Office? Can the president’s son take a meeting with Russians who are promising dirt on Hillary Clinton? Can he do that with multiple campaign advisers in the room? Can the president’s son-in-law attend such a meeting and still retain his security clearance? Today, we have a new set of questions to toss on the pile: Can the president really pardon himself and all his friends, family, neighbors, and pets, plus fire Robert Mueller, plus threaten his attorney general? More often than not, the answer, as it has been since the Merrick Garland blockade in the Senate, is: “norms, not laws.” http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2017/07/lawyers_and_the_constitution_alone_won_t_save_us_from_donald_trump.html |

Totally agreed. It's up to the American people to stand up to this affront on our laws. However it has to be done, it has to be done if we are going to survive this guy and his gang. |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Actually quite a few support Trumps policies. ![]() You and Wilmy are an outlier - hence the desperation. |
