31. Not really.

He had one job to do, and that was tear this country apart. That was what Putin wants/wanted, and that is what the turd signed on to do.

He was as surprised as everyone else when he won. He thought his candidacy would just be money in the bank for him, since he had no intention whatsoever of divesting of his businesses. It was all about building the brand.

But, thanks to Putin's vote switching (and yes, I typed vote SWITCHING), he DID win. He was so surprised it took several days for him to really accept what had happened.

So he has already done what he was supposed to do, destroy our political infrastructure. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

He won't run again, he will step down late enough for Pence to be president for a few days, and pardon him and his scum family, and think that he got away with it. He won't attend the inauguration.

But the new democratic president and congress BETTER go after him with both barrels, taking every penny he has through RICO (NY money laundering), freezing his assets, and jailing his ass, along with his family (Trump Organization). We WILL NOT go along, to get along (do absolutely nothing "for the good of the country" ). There MUST be accountability. There was none in 2000, which is why we are here, now.

If he sees that coming, he will hop into his private plane and take off secretly for Saudi Arabia. Putin will be done with him and would kill him.

We need to make sure the tires of his plane remain flat until he is carted off to jail.

If that doesn't happen, and he digs in, not leaving, he will have his minions surround the white house, with their guns, and they will start the inevitable war we have been fearing.

I hate to say it, but we better be armed enough to take them on. They will NOT be the ones to decide what we as a nation become. Sitting back and not getting involved will not be one of the available options.

Since he's a pathological opportunist, if he loses, I could see him resigning in time for a pardon Siwsan Aug 2019 #1
He'll go full scorched earth. We must all understand this is the only path for him. Claritie Pixie Aug 2019 #13

So the Senate could convict but not even remove from office? It sure doesn't' look like that to me. Celerity Aug 2019 #36
the plain language says they could Hermit-The-Prog Aug 2019 #37
but that Congressional Research Service Report contradicts that, it says removal is mandatory Celerity Aug 2019 #38
