It's the beginning of the end.
Hope he dies in prison.

The trouble is, would Pence really be any better? Vile man.

The story says otherwise; they can't even get enough support to impeach on obstruction of justice. There is nothing there to implicate Trump directly (yet). Trump Jr emails look like the only concrete, extant evidence of any sort of wrongdoing; their ambiguity is why they were voluntarily shared. Aside from that... nothing? Probably

Is there a way for both parties to lose from this situation, and lose fucking badly?

I don't even particularly care about Trump, I mean he's great to make fun of. I'd be more inclined to wish the actual right-wingers in the government would just collectively give up politics and become monks.

I guess the hope is by formally starting impeachment proceedings it flushes out yet more evidence. Emboldening witnesses and perhaps turning people in Trump's circle who don't fancy going down with him. I can see GOP reps eventually backing this out of self preservation.
After so many false starts I'm hoping this does feel a bit more concrete.

He wouldn't be but I'm kinda thinking that the investigation doesn't stop with Donny. Pence, Bannon and Trump can share a cell.

Trump has "God" on his side, he is untouchable.

Not even all the democrats support Trump's impeachment. It needs a majority in the house and a two-thirds majority in the Senate and has never successfully removed a President.

Can't see it happening tbh.

Impeachment is a congressional issue, and as long as the GOP control the House or Senate, it won't happen.

Which one?

Grand jury being put together for several federal charges.
Bit by bit it's getting there. Trump will die in prison.

He still can't be impeached unless congress act, so I wouldn't be so sure.

I'm eating a peach.

The Democrats really are fucking abysmal:

He’s taken a plea bargain. It’s on ( I hope)

 

[Abertawe]

nah. now he's a proven liar, he can't be considered a credible witness if they're to rely on testimony.

The Democrats really are fucking abysmal:

The response from the SenateDems account to the passing of the tax bill was to evoke Ronald Reagan in the spirit of bipartisanship. These people are fucking hopeless, and scarily will probably still be pulling the strings come 2020.
