Paradoxish posted:Look one post above yours, or at the post that I was originally responding to on the last page. People really want there to be one weird trick that Democrats can pull, but as long as we have less than 67 seats in the Senate there's really no impeachment scenario that goes down with the consent of at least some Republicans. I know, I just find it insane. The most likely scenario is Trump finishing his term. The second most likely scenario is Pence finishing out the term. A distant third is a placeholder compromise republican like John Kasich. President Pelosi isn't anywhere on that list.

It stays vacant. In the event the president exits office, we skip straight to the house speaker. This, incidentally, will be the argument that republicans will use if a newly enSpeakered Pelosi blocks a VP choice.

I bet Trump would switch on Russia if a bunch of news stories came out saying he was scared of them.

Eeyo posted:This just really frustrates me. Why does calling someone who (allegedly) raped you mean you're not guilty? There's nothing wrong with calling him a couple times and asking what happened, what the gently caress, yelling at him, etc. He's obviously guilty as hell, but in this case she called him over 50 times and had long conversations. Thats a big problem for the prosecution.

empty whippet box posted:Yeah, and a rapist bigot russian puppet with no government experience who has had like 5 dozen businesses go bankrupt will never be president. That is a good point. If we accept that Donald Trump's ascent was unprecedented, why is it impossible that his decline, and the decline of those around him, will be just as unprecedented?

glowing-fish posted:And I don't know how to be more clear in what I am saying: Disagree, I guess? I mean, look, if you want to have this particular discussion then I think you need to lay out what it is exactly that you believe Pence will be accused of and what level of evidence you think will be available. A president facing a hostile Congress that's ready to impeach has no power, so I don't really see why the GOP would be hesitant to put Pence into that position for long enough to appoint a replacement. I'm not even talking about this being a result of the current hyper partisan state of US politics, because I honestly don't think Democrats would have a problem with it either.

He wants to focus on small, local projects, where he can watch people die in pain and fear personally, not just receive a report every day telling him how many people died in pain and fear under his care.

We're going to get a West Wing style scenario where something will come out that will force Pence to resign (like he touched a few too many choir boys at Church or something) before the investigation is over. And Trump will end up treating the VP seat like the hundreds of other appointee seats that he hasn't given a second thought to when the hammer will come down from the investigation forcing him out. You can't call it a coup if the President is too dumb and distracted to appoint a new VP.  The real question is who get's Pelosi's seat in the special election after she resigns to become President.

That wouldn't happen because the Senate wouldn't vote to impeach Trump. The choice the Senators in 2019 would be vote to impeach Trump and get primaried in their home state because they brought on
