Giuliani: If Trump were impeached 'the American people would revolt'

"An unhappy alternative is before you, Elizabeth. From this day you must be a stranger to one of your parents. -- Your mother will never see you again if you do not marry Mr. Collins, and I will never see you again if you do."

Jane Austen, as usual, provides the correct rebuttal - and it all sounds more elegant than anything Giuliani ever said.

I don't know, though. President Pence sounds revolting all on its own. Maybe we should just give up now and storm the castle regardless.

Pence was Manafort's suggestion. Therefore Pence has to be under investigation.

May you find informed hope in this fact.

President Pence would be even more awful because he has a coherent agenda and an attention span longer than 5 seconds, and manages to sound like a reasonable person most of the time.

Pence is complicit in this whole mess and has been so all along. The solution is to hang them both side by side, along with Ryan and McConnell.

Then get started with the rest of the traitors in the Repugnant Party.

I saw a list of the Presidential line of succession - VP, Speaker of the House, etc. - listing the number of people until it reached a Democrat.

The list was titled "US Government Speed Run."

You've revolted before and it seemed to work out pretty well for you guys for 250 years or so. Bring on the torches and pitchforks, I say.

Definitely storm the castle. Trump is ridiculous, but Pence is far more toxic long-term. In fact, most of the people down the line of succession are toxic assholes...

[adafrog]

I agree with storming the castle.

I don't know, though. President Pence sounds revolting all on its own.

I'm holding out hope that they'll go down together sort of similar to the Nixon Administration.

[conuly]

!!!!!

I'll definitely hope on that front.

[conuly]

The fact that he's capable of sounding like a grown-up is both a good and a bad thing, imo.

[conuly]

But not tiki torches, because that's both tainted and ridiculous.

[conuly]

Fingers crossed.

[conuly]

Have fun!

[dewline]

Unless they're wielded by Polynesians.

That would be cultural appropriation, and therefore unforgivable in all circumstances.

[gominokouhai]

Just felt the need to butt in here and observe that I got that reference.

[conuly]

Not sure that'll ever happen, though.

[conuly]

Hah!

[conuly]

I was thinking about last year.

[conuly]

Le sigh.

[gominokouhai]

Oh yes, that.

Still counts.

Robert Reich is suggesting that if we can show the election was tainted, we should annul it and remove everyone associated with the trump administration.

I don't think that's practical or even slightly likely, but it would solve a lot of problems.

[archangelbeth]

It's so true that I would like them paraded in front of a firing squad. Not necessarily shot, but to be paraded out there and stare down those guns while someone reads out the charges of betrayal of their nation...

[archangelbeth]

If we flip the seats enough, then Speaker of the House becomes a (D), and the speed run gets MUCH faster. >_>

[jessie_c]

Do you think it'll work?
