Trump says he's not concerned about being impeached: 'The people would revolt'

[ToServe]

okay...
tulc(wonders if that was posted in the wrong thread)

Please explain.

The Trump card is in play and the same old same old Congress that was once a house is but a house of cards ready to implode on itself. The evidence to America's demise from within is in what it has become a boastful racially and socially decadent society that is no different to the decadent societies of past that have historically imploded by their own initiative. The optimism you show is one of almost naivety that borders on the credulous nature of what typifies an American society gone awry.

So...that would be "No, I don't have any actual evidence to support what I think beyond "I really really think it's true."?

I don't think President Trump quite understands how the whole "rule of law" thing works in America.
tulc(will be watching this in the coming year)

He perhaps might not be the only one to misunderstand that phrase?

Ok friend. Good luck with your elections. I hope that I am wrong.

 

[tulc]

Please explain.

I don't see what this post has to do with the OP. For instance: I don't see anywhere in the OP where President Obama is mentioned and quite frankly, it isn't helped by having a commercial for a movie at the end of it. But if the goal is to discuss odd scenarios and conspiracies there is actually a forum for those sorts of things.
Found here: Conspiracy Theories

tulc(hopes that clears up any confusion)

aaannndd...there's that video again, the one that apparently applies to pretty much any and all threads on CF.

me too!

no, they didn't.

Yes they did.
Have you been living under a rock?

and again, since the "deep state" is a myth I'm again going with that's not what happened.

So you have been living under a rock...

Impeachment doesn't necessarily mean removal from office, see Bill Clinton, but it can depending on the outcome of the trial, see Andrew Johnson. The key thing to note is that while the House can start the impeachment, the Senate is the court for any impeachment trial should they actually happen. The real question is of evidence, if there is none it's pointless and so far there hasn't been any that would warrant impeachment, just political hacks who want to reverse the vote of the people just because they didn't like the outcome.

 

[tulc]

No I live in the part of the world where if someone doesn't supply evidence in support of what they say, I don't have to believe it or try and disprove it.

So you have been living under a rock...

see above^^.

You just haven't bothered to look.

Voter fraud is also being investigated.

Or it's not.

Well...actually you haven't bothered to support your argument, if it's not important enough for you to prove why should I believe it's important enough for me to find out?

Which sort of destroys the whole "IvotedforPresidentTrumpbecausehe'snotapolitician!" riff some of President Trumps supporters like to say.
tulc(thinks of it as a kind of "two birds, one stone" thing)

He might be impeached. The Democrats will control the House, and impeachment is a majority vote.
But like Clinton he won't resign, the case will go to the Senate, which is Republican controlled, and you need a supermajority to remove the President. And like Clinton he won't be removed. And then, like in the Clinton case, the party that impeached him will get creamed in the next election. So, if the Democrats want to spend the next two years impeaching Trump, then failing to remove him, and lose the elections afterwards, they can go ahead and do that.

Trump is not going to resign. He'll pull a Samson in the Temple before he does that.

He'll serve out his four or eight years, and that will be that.

The Dems will impeach Trump to the same level of effectiveness that the Republicans impeached Obama.

We'll see.

...and there's where President Trumps problem may well lie. Because as things stand now? President Trump is becoming the albatross hung around the Republicans neck. He's long since lost any appeal he may have once had to the Republicans in congress but they can't actually do anything to get his stench off themselves....unless....they can do so and then put the blame on the Democrats. Two birds, one stone.
tulc(just a thought)

The Republicans problem is that they have resisted Trump. The People voted in Trump and the bulk of their electorate support him over them. They've been behaving like the British Tories over Brexit. The People spoke, but the party in power didn't like the answer, so they keep trying to avoid the result. All that will do in the end is result in Labour rule, in Britain, and Democrat rule in the USA.

If they support Trump, they can win back power. If they don't, they'll lose it for a generation.

Voter fraud is also being investigated.

not since it was discovered the Party that seemed to be committing the fraud was the Republicans. And it wasn't "voter fraud":
What happened in North Carolina wasn't voter fraud. Voters were the victims. - CNNPolitics

First, people allege that Dowless and those paid by him collected absentee ballots from voters. According to state law, only the voters themselves, near-immediate family members or guardians of the voters can submit absentee ballots. In other words, what Dowless and those connected to him are accused of doing is illegal.
Second, according to affidavits, some voters were told by the alleged ballot harvesters that it was OK to leave the ballots unfilled and unsealed. This would, in theory, allow people who weren't the voters to complete the ballot.
Third, there were statistical anomalies among absentee ballots. There were an unusually high number of unreturned absentee ballots in some parts of the 9th District. What happened to those ballots is unclear, though affidavits suggest that a number of ballots were given to McCrae. No one knows for sure what he did with them. There has also been a statistically improbable percentage of votes cast for candidates backed by McCrae throughout the years.
You'll note that in none of these points that the voters were accused of doing something. Additionally, as I previously noted, the fraud claims in North Carolina don't "rely on just one or two pieces of evidence. Rather, it's a slew of evidence." This is very much unlike voter fraud allegations that are usually pulled out of thin air with little to no proof.
