Ha! That's what this thread is for.

I mean, only Congress can impeach a president, and I don't think the Republicans are going to impeach Trump anytime soon. So even if an impeachable offense is confirmed (which it hasn't been yet) it's unlikely Congress would do anything about it, unless the Republicans lose a ton of seats in the 2018 elections.

There is, maybe one sentence in the Constitution about what to do if the President is mentally or emotionally unfit to serve, but there's a reason we've never used that part of the Constitution before. It's never good to politicize mental health and while politicians are careless about the words they use around mental health they've always been sensitive to accusations against THEIR mental health. So I doubt anyone would seriously try to use that part to get rid of Trump. There's just no way to do that without it coming back to haunt you later...after all, our understanding of mental health changes all the time and what is a problem for one person isn't a problem for another...It's just a can of worms.

That's bull to me. They can't have it both ways and its sick that they do. And kinda sad that people would rather see in their own delusions that this country is a piece of crap going more down the toilet every day than actually fix it. They might see all rainbows in the delusions I mentioned, but they really need to be smacked upside the head to make them come back to reality.

Ugh I think whatever is making me sick again is affecting my opinions; like making them stronger >.> lol

I applaud strong opinions

Here we go! It's a busy day in Congress. There's a public hearing about Russia and Trump (Comey just confirmed that the FBI is actively investigating the Trump campaign team for collusion with Russia), and then later the Supreme Court hearings for Gorsuch are gonna get started.

My Senators have already committed to not voting for Gorsuch, but I'd ask them to vote no if they hadn't already committed to doing so. Not because of what the Republicans did to Garland, because I think petty partisanship is toxic to democracy, but because Gorsuch is anti-choice, advocates for torture and has a history of misogyny, like saying that maternity leave is a scam that women use to take advantage of corporations.

The choice thing is important to me when it comes to the Supreme Court. People have personal feelings about abortion and I completely understand that, but trying to impress those feelings on everyone else is where I draw the line. I believe that a fundamental value in any civilized society has to be the concept of bodily autonomy. That concept says that YOUR body is YOUR body and YOU get to decide what happens to it. We're supposed to have bodily autonomy in the United States. We even have laws recognizing that dead people have bodily autonomy. That's why you have to volunteer to be an organ donor, because the law recognizes that you are the ultimate authority when it comes to YOUR body and it is wrong to take your body parts against your wishes even if you aren't using them anymore. In a society that recognizes bodily autonomy, people have a right to choice especially when it comes to reproduction.

So if the Supreme Court doesn't even recognize bodily autonomy, I can't trust them to pursue justice in any other area as well. There's nothing more fundamental to justice than the sovereign (meaning, I am the ruler of my own body and my body truly belongs to me) connection between body and spirit. So that's why I don't have a problem with a Supreme Court Justice who personally objects to abortion, but I do have a problem with a Supreme Court Justice who professionally objects to abortion.

I agree with your last statements. I wished the government realized that our bodies are our own.

I wonder what's going to happen with the hearings. I read that Trump was being looked into. I forgot what it was, but it didn't mention his campagins dealings with Russia. Wished I remembered what it was though. I'm glad they are doing that. Even just saw that his rating hit a new low. Haha happy to hear that. I guess more and more people are realizing what they might of done wrong with voting for him. I just can't wait to hear what's going to happen after the investigations and hearings are done with.

You know the real blow to the orange one's ego is the Forbes report that came out today showing that his estimated fortune has dropped considerably since January 20th. He dropped more than 200 places on their "500 Most Wealthy" list since then.

Petty, yes, but I'll take my schadenfreude where I can get it.

200 places? Holy crap he really isn't liked anywhere. That must mean alot of his business dealings that his kids are 'handling' are not going too well because of the news coming out about that baby. Holy crap I didn't even think that would happen. I'm gonna go and laugh my ass off and try not to choke myself from not breathing while doing so. LOL

They've postponed voting on the Trumpcare bill. They don't have the votes to pass it so they're trying to buy for time. But new polling shows Americans oppose the bill 3 to 1, so it's definitely not popular among voters.

That's good to hear. Glad it's not supported. At least there is time before they vote the new stupid thing in. Weird that these people know that he's not supported by people and not liked by anyone.

The bill is dead!

The Affordable Care Act is staying in place. Now we have to convince Congress to actually try and fix it.
