What really concerns me is that we have a huge part of the country that doesn’t recognize Trump as our President. They are still in complete shock that Hillary lost (especially to Trump).

I fear the next step is weaponizing impeachment proceedings. Because if they get a big enough majority in 2018, they’ll do it, and invent the reason later.

One we reach the point where you can impeach a President because you don’t like him, we will be just another banana republic.

What does this even mean? "Weaponizing impeachment"? Say what? Are you trying to say that they'll try to impeach him? Just what do you think is already going on?

I don't think that's true. There are a large number that are unhappy about it (just like we were with Obama), but they know dang well he is what they've got for the next 3.5-7.5 years.

"He's not my President" is just one step down from "I'm moving to Canada"

Not at all. A small extremely vocal minority that controls the media and entertainment industries is having a very public tantrum.

You can't impeach Trump because you hate him. The more false hope and resources wasted by the liberal dems the better.

When it came to impeachment, it was helpful to have a reason. Now, you don’t need one other than “we lost, and we don’t like it.” That's what I meant by weaponizing. Sorry for the hyperbole.

Donald Trump is the President of the United States, legally elected and affirmed. The Republicans control both the House and the Senate.

Whenver you guys feel like panicking, just remember the above, and let's leave the exaggerations to the Leftists.

Justice Kennedy Tells October 2018 Clerkship Applicants He’s Considering Retirement, Right Before 2018 Midterms

Posted on July 2, 2017 4:38 pm by Rick Hasen

Big news hiding in Nina Totenberg’s story on Justice Gorsuch voting 100% with Justice Thomas:

But it is unlikely that Kennedy will remain on the court for the full four years of the Trump presidency. While he long ago hired his law clerks for the coming term, he has not done so for the following term (beginning Oct. 2018), and has let applicants for those positions know he is considering retirement.

Kennedy’s position on the court is more than consequential. In the most hotly contested and closely divided cases, his vote often decides the outcome. With every passing day, it has become more clear that President Trump’s first Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, is probably even more conservative than the justice he replaced, Antonin Scalia.

This would put Justice Kennedy’s retirement right before the 2018 midterms, giving the Republican base reasons to turn out and keep the Senate with a Republican majority (already a strong possibility in 2018).

He’ll be able to go out on a high note, deciding the fate of partisan gerrymandering, gay rights, and who knows what else.

UPDATE: Republicans in the Senate would have a strategic decision to make: try to confirm a replacement before the elections, or use it as a tool to boost midterm turnout.

I'd take what they can get before the election. You never know what happens with a gamble like that. Of course, Senators are much more concerned about their own re-election or their Majority Leader status than the country, so who knows?

That's a home run with the bases loaded. If Trump gets to replace Kennedy and DarthBader his thumbprint will be on the court for decades.

He had best do it if possible before the Senate changes.

Remember what almost killed Obamacare? Ted Kennedy died, the 60th vote. His temporary replacement was a God Damned Commie, but his term was filled by a Republican. That forced some awkward tactical maneuvering.

EXACTLY. Panic all you want but President Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do. Think about the last time you had a President stay steadfast and deliver campaign promise after campaign promise.

Trump doubles down, and he has my support.

"Roughly 163 tweets sent out by President Trump in June, three quarters of them at least had to do with policy, bilateral meetings, legislation, tweets like the ones you just showed," Conway said on "Fox & Friends." "You know the stock market loves that this man is president. ISIS is on the run. Jobs are being produced. You don’t hear any of that. The networks gave zero coverage to the passage of Kate’s Law."

Don't worry, you didn't miss something. There is no problem.

From the link.

quote:

Trump still won about 28 percent of the Latino vote, similar to Mitt Romney in 2012, according to exit polls.
Roberto Izurieta, director of Latin American Projects at George Washington University, said that since Trump began his campaign, his rhetoric has been "very aggressive and very anti-Hispanic ."
"The president decided on Day One to stay with his electoral base. It means he will keep his divisive rhetoric and stay with his base, which is anti-immigrant," he said.

No you fucking idiot. He's not anti immigrant/Hispanic, he's pro American, and pro legal immigrant. Stop substituting immigrants for illegals, it is not the same thing. Not even close.

Have the best of both. Nominate before the election and confirm during the lame duck session.

We can't control the timing, but merely use the opportunities intelligently as they arise.

Gotta love the Congressman in this video. The FNN personality doesn't want to listen to the criticism.
