Go for it, Donnie - let's see if Democrats will do what is right, and yank your criminal ass.

Just a quick note to Donald & all his friends, supporters, and and marvelously malignant, twisted followers: if The Donald executes a "self-pardon,” that won't insulate or protect him from getting impeached. It would - or at least SHOULD — guarantee that he’s impeached.

And, ideally, that should open the doors for one of the most interesting impeachments in history.

Mike Pence should be disqualified/ineligible to ascend to the role of President due to his entanglements; Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan (and a large segment of the GOP “leadership”) have been actively protecting Trump’s criminality. While that alone may be chalked up to "party loyalty", it's the method and manner in which they’ve acted which suggests that they were aware of the actual criminal behavior and were therefore complicit accomplices nearly across the board, and not simply acting to “protect party interests" (which, while possibly providing some cover, still brings up the “party over country" question).

It’s up to all of us to push to ensure that the Democrats will follow through with impeachment and removal, and take out / take down all involved parties. This can’t be yet another “we must look forward, not backward" moment of history — that has only served to protect, preserve, and extend the capacity of those who escaped true punishment to try to refine their techniques and return to inflict ever-increasing amounts of damage to our nation.
