Just so you know...

The constitutional pardon power is limited, in that a president cannot pardon someone who’s been impeached.

If Trump is ordered to resign and actually resigns, I suspect Pence will be informed by the GOP Congress that pardoning Trump will cause them to immediately impeach Pence.

In short, Trump fucked up in ways he can’t bullshit his way out of.

If the whistleblower report is correct, I don't want impeachment

I want Trump, Pence, the whole Cabinet, and all the judges Trump appointed - especially Gorsuch and Kavanaugh - to resign on the same day, and in this order:

All lower-court judges at the same time
Gorsuch and Kavanaugh
All appointees below the rank of Cabinet Secretary
All Cabinet Secretaries
Mitch McConnell
Pence
Trump

All this over the span of five minutes.

This prevents any possibility of pardons being issued. We will then install Speaker Pelosi as president with Hillary Clinton as VP, and bring back Obama’s Cabinet.

At that point we have real investigations and prosecutions.

Floyd eats his peas with honey

He's done it all his life
It makes the peas taste funny
But it keeps them on his knife.

Well, it's official. Trump supporters don't care about America.

I saw a bumper sticker today, "Trump: Make Liberals Cry Again."

So, that clinches it: "We don't care what damage Trump does to America, just as long as we can troll liberals while he's doing it."

Today's "you do realize"

You do realize if Vice President Biden would have gone to Ireland for meetings in Dublin and stayed at the "Obama International Golf Links" on the other side of the island, the impeachment hearings for both men would have already started.
