Taking bets on how long before impeachment proceedings begin for Trump.

Also, bets on what he will be impeached for.

He will be impeached on the 12th.

The 12th of Never.

What does concern me is that he is a threat to the ruling class.

The last President who was a threat to the ruling class was JFK, and we all know what happened to him.

Hey Barbara,
Interesting question. I thought there would be more discussion on him facing RICO and racketeering charges. Impeachment won't happen as long as he play ball with the republicans. But, I do suspect he may not play ball (at least not nicely) with anyone. I am hoping the GOP will keep him tethered.

As TJ above referenced JFK and assassination, I would consider this to be as likely as impeachment. Especially with how discontent our country seems to be at this time.

To answer your question, I think mid-February will be the soonest we will see anything start. Maybe as late as end of April. It would not surprise me to see him out by the end of 2017. Either this or never, as most presidents have a pretty slippery layer of oil protecting them.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

I think he will commit impeachable offenses within the first nine months of his presidency.

But, I don't think any serious action will be taken until after the mid term elections when/if the congress is more balanced.

As much as I don't like the guy, I don't wish an assassination for him for two reasons. I wouldn't wish that for anyone and, as bad as Trump is as a leader, Pence would be worse.

I afraid as long as the GOP gets their agenda implemented, once the system is totally rigged for any future elections. Along with the court, then the takeover will be complete.
The propaganda news of Bannon will insure the faithful followers and drown out the truth.

The proof is in just how quickly the GOP have lined up to kiss the ring.

I hope you are wrong and fear you might be right.

Again, agree.
The 'phony university' fraud settlement takes a large problem off this table and pushes this example of his self serving petty avariciousness back into yesterdayland forgetting.

He was shot by an American with close ties to the USSR. Oswald was not protecting the upper elite. I don't know if you are being ironic or just ignorant.
I suspect the latter.

You can't fake the Presidency. Trump can't change. When I see the first signs of his political demise I will start a thread entitled with a provocative title.

Trump has to do a blind trust.
Get his adult kids out of the government and White House.
Dump alt right Bannon.

Be competent.


Otherwise he is heading for a swift demise.
