I am new to this forum. I am neither democrat nor republican. I am x military, and for 20 years I would not vote, but last election I went to the polls and voted against both parties. I wrote in Mickey Mouse, Speedy Gonzales, Donald Duck, and the Three Stooges. I figured if my legislators were acting like cartoon characters, then I would vote for cartoon characters. So, I do not have a dog in this impeachment fight.

What disturbs me is that only hours after Trump was elected, some dems were crying for impeachment. Not even sworn in yet, and Trump was a target. I have witnessed first hand such hate in socialist/communist/dictatorships in the Philippines and other banana republics. I was in the Philippines when Ferdinand Marcus was kicked out in the 70’s. The people gathered by the hundreds of thousands in the streets of Manila with rakes, shovels, and pitch forks. (Marcus was evil and deserved removal, but it should have been a legal process first). Impeachment is certainly a legal process, but remember that it still legally overthrows an election.

I believe the American people should have the final say about Trumps removal, and I believe it will happen only one year from now. Trump will almost certainly be impeached by the House. Whose next? How about Pence? He is a right wing evangelical conservative. Should we just investigate, investigate, investigate, until we nail him on something? Investigate the Pope long and hard enough and we can have him removed too. Folks, this is what socialists/communists do, and they do it well. By the way, I was opposed to the impeachment of Bill Clinton for the same reasoning. Remove Trump by hate, and his base will be fired up for revenge. They will go to the polls in mass next election.
