Is our government setup in such a way that we have to allow this to take place? We all know dems won’t be able to remove Trump but they’re trying their damnedest. This will help Trump in the election but it’s just crazy how it’s just happening and we have to sit back and watch while we all know damn well what’s going on.

This is what happens when you elect Dems to control of the House.

Yes. Impeachment is the house’s responsibility and is in the constitution. Calling it a coup is fricking stupid

This is what happens when the dems were not stopped with the Mueller Report and that lie that that they used to win the house in the midterms.

The Mueller investigation lie talking point won them control of the house.

It’s a coup under the guise of impeachment. What’s the specific crime? Not even the dems in congress can name it. Do you know something they don’t?

where is the Democrats evidence? Why all the back room secret one sided interviews?!?


If they had the goods, they put em on the table and take an official vote. But they don’t, so they’re trying to unofficially impeach the president in the court of public opinion with the help from the corrupt fake news media.

One of my favorite of the Federalist Papers is where they really pore over the rationale, underlying philosophy, and implementation of the special 'Orange Man Bad/It was HER Turn Dammit!' Clause.

The prescient wisdom of our forefathers was really something, wasn't it?

The "coup" you are referencing is being conducted by the House of Representatives which has essentially plenary power over impeachment. There is no other body, elected or otherwise, that can tell the House whether to impeach. Fortunately, James Madison was a smart little fellow so there are significant checks on the House, especially the 2/3 Senate vote required to convict. The only things "we" can do is express our displeasure by petitioning for the redress of our grievances and voting our representatives out of office. So, if you think about it, it's not a "coup" at all, so much as it is a misguided but constitutional exercise of raw political power.

So it says in the Constitution that you should just impeach the President, just because?

It is a coup. They are just trying to weaponize the Constitution because they don't have the fighters, backers or guns to do it with force

Seriously what’s the chance someone saying above is a paid troll? How does that work? How do they sign up to do such and how do they get paid?
