There will be an impeachment; pay no attention to political posturing to get public onboard. The, impeachment process will destroy Trump -- make no mistake! Clinton, Nixon and Johnson never recovered from their impeachments, even though none actually impeached from office (Nixon was forced to resign). But there are many factors at play bearing consideration; this is not as simple as the media would have us believe, sometimes. For instance, the power of Pence to pardon Trump should he be impeached, the resistance and cover-up by Republicans required for impeachment.
In case it wasn't noticed, impeachment is ongoing, if not yet declared. The obvious inevitable "official" announcement timing is not nearly as concerning as the media selling Dems and their leadership short, neglecting their own duty to investigate and cover corrupt Congressional Republicans equally responsible for impeachment who are--contrastingly--derelict and openly defiant to their sworn oath by engaging in this cover-up in plain sight of the Mueller Report. No Pulitzer there. Media cowards fail big time! Media optics obsessive, misguided focus on Democrat strategy overly and overtly politicizes, is bad for impeachment, helpful to Trump and Republicans. Stupid.

You heard it here, folks...Trump hates himself! Publicly confesses his problems...that he's "a negative force, not a positive force." And, if you look at what he said, "he hurts the people of this great country." Furthermore, he acknowledges, "he should actually focus on his job, it would be a lot better if he did that he could straighten out some of the problems he has, and probably some of the problems he's caused." (Trump, answering questions, June 4. 2019)

Harris claims to be a progressive, but she was a law-and-order candidate whose policies as a DA and AG were, in fact, largely regressive. "As attorney general, Harris opposed a bill requiring her office to investigate shootings involving police officers and threatened to imprison the parents of truant children, who are disproportionately poor and non-white. Her office fought a proposed parole program that would release prisoners early if they served half their sentences, arguing that “prisons would lose an important labor pool.”
"Time after time, when progressives urged her to embrace criminal justice reforms as a district attorney and then the state’s attorney general, Ms. Harris opposed them or stayed silent. Most troubling, Ms. Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors."
"...a judge condemned Ms. Harris’s indifference to the systemic violation of the defendants’ constitutional rights." "Ms. Harris contested the ruling by arguing that the judge, whose husband was a defense attorney and had spoken publicly about the importance of disclosing evidence, had a conflict of interest. Ms. Harris lost. More than 600 cases handled by the corrupt technician were dismissed." [Disturbingly identical to Trump's attitude and behavior.]

MEDIA FAIL -- If you like your news "safe," than CBS will take all the hard edges off for you, leaving you with half of a muddled story that leaves one more confused than informed. CBS, trying much, much TOO hard to be non-partisan, constantly fails to make the distinction between good and bad, right and wrong, in a way that is unhelpful to viewers and harmful to this nation. CBS has a long way to go to catch up with competitors MSNBC and CNN when it comes to presenting the news, and would do well to learn from them how to cut through being manipulated by the Republican B.S.! Ironically, like this host on Face the Nation, who can be very competent at times, but other times one is left just scratching their head! Which is why the frequency of using CBS as a trusted source personally keeps decreasing. CBS needs to stop trying to please everyone--which only winds up pleasing no one, anyway--and start taking their journalistic responsibilities more seriously. One can be fair and objective sticking to the facts and logical inferences, even when one side is completely in the wrong! No need to search for something to make both sides appear in the wrong, lending false moral equivalencies while media pats themselves on the back for being unfair and calling it "fair."

FINAL SHOWDOWN ROUND INTER-GOVERNMENTAL MATCHUP: CBP/ICE versus Secret Service/U.S. Marshals
WHEN: High noon.
WHERE: OK Corral and Cage Them All Up, somewhere on the U.S. southern border.
THE STAKES: Rule of Law, sanity, America, future of humanity.
THE PRIZE: Justice, hopefully.
The long-awaited, much anticipated showdown is finally here, the nation anxiously perched at the edge of its seat! CBP/ICE team can be identified by their Confederate grey uniforms, swastikas, and white pointy hats. Secret Service/Marshals dressed in red, white, and blue. It's looking to be a short and very punishing affair for CBP/ICE, their opponents possessing all the advantages on their side. Expectations are CBP/ICE will attempt to compensate using child abuse, rape, torture, and other dirty tricks, sealing its own doom.

This reporter doesn't make the critical distinction that the version of the Mueller report referred to is being offered under very restricted conditions where they are not allowed to discuss with anyone, and that many of the redactions remain. It is not the fully unredacted version requested by the House. The reporter's interviewing question mischaracterizes and neglects to educate the public by omitting these important facts. This is a big fail on her part in glossing things over.
The question was why Congressional Republicans aren't more concerned about their sabotaging and setting bad precedent with House oversight, and Byron York evades the question to talk about Pelosi and Dems. Anyone that reads the Mueller report has to know that Trump needs to be impeached; this is the elephant in the room Republicans pretend not to see. This is implicit in what the question addresses, yet Byron York does not want to talk about any of that. Why? Because it shows Congressional Republicans to be highly hypocritical, hyper-partisan, cowardly, power-obsessed, and traitors to their sworn duty to faithfully defend our Constitution and country? But isn't that what we need to be talking about at this point?
Additionally, it is essential to address the growing rot in our society. The Republican cult is a sickness, a disease upon our nation. Molding their cult through right-wing propaganda, Trump is the fruit of the poisoned tree Republicans sowed. I'm not suggesting killing the Republican party, but the disease needs to be treated, and measures taken to prevent recurrence. Else Americans face demise at our own hands from extremists who would seek to substitute blind fealty for independent thought and critical reasoning, gathering citizens into their Orwellian realities for money and political power.

'IMMIGRATION FOR DUMMIES' -- by Activated Head of Fatherland Security, Kevin K. McAleenan
"So...What I did was I worked really hard with Trump administration to make draconian changes to immigration policies that creates bottlenecks, backlogs, and a HUGE increase in detention rates. So...We did this despite knowing that our lack of capabilities could only lead to greatly overcrowded facilities (concentration camps, if you prefer); poor conditions; human rights abuses against children, refugees, and migrants of color; lasting traumatic damage done to the children; vastly increased costs to the American taxpayer; the demoralization, desensitization, destabilization, depletion and destruction of our vital government workforce securing our borders and dealing with immigration. So...Just to be clear here, at the end of the day, the only goal was to extort money from Congress by torturing children and innocent people we hold hostage. Call it kidnapping if you want. So...Then we take the money and hand it over to our crony friends running the "detention centers" that they may profit from all this misery! So...You can see how our diabolical plan worked to perfection, we got our ransom money for CBP. So...That's why I'm working with my Republican cohorts in Congress to run the same scam again for ICE! So...Yes, we were experiencing difficulties achieving the profit margins anticipated with our wall street, but that open-ended venture continues to pay dividends for our money men and sycophants, as well!"

Very disappointing. What really bothered Harris wasn't Biden; it was his share of African-American voters to which she apparently feels entitled without yet having earned -- so, seeing how Castro had elevated himself, sought to manipulatively do the same with Biden by exploiting race issues disingenuously against a friend and veteran civil rights fighter, instead of directing a legitimate attack against Trump, a racist demagogue. Had Huge Hypocrite Harris #2, but also discovered her to be a political chameleon whose own civil rights record is rather abysmal. Oh, well, plenty of other well-qualified candidates from which to choose, who hopefully don't stab their friends in the back publicly to advance themselves. Harris could redeem herself with some sincere remorse and honesty about her stupid and unjust attack, but not seeing any evidence of that, yet.

MEDIA FAIL -- Why is it the CBS host and everyone on her panel know so surprising little about the Trump's G7/Doral scandal? According to the former ethics chief and a number of legal experts, Trump would have likely been violating several laws. Moreover, nobody goes to south Florida in June to get eaten alive by mosquitoes, suffocated by the heat and humidity, and subjected to the beginning of hurricane season, unless they just can't avoid it! Doral normally only gets about 38% occupancy in June, and business at Doral has particularly fallen off, because of Trump's own damage to his brand. Thus, Trump profits from the event by not losing money, even would he have donated all profits (which we all know good and well he was never going to do, anyway) to charity! Then, after they put the required helipads needed for G7 on his golf course, he gets the government to pay hundreds of millions for their removal he charges while remodeling the golf course to remove the helipads! Quite the potential scam, but CBS apparently wants to hide the truth from the American people just how corrupt the scheme is! Why? If you're going to cover the issue, don't we Americans deserve to know ALL the facts, not just the ones YOU select?

@accountclosed8569 ***NEW CDC UPDATE***
TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome)
Fortunately, the disease and contagion has confined itself solely to the two Trump supporter sects, Trumputin and Trumpturd. All others possess natural immunity. Expecting some casualties from this disease among the cult following Trump demise, but the general population is safe, the nation should survive, albeit with a stain upon it.
Any remaining Trumpezoids should be rendered mostly harmless, although the possibility exists of continued recurring cross-contamination. Treatment is simple and relatively painless. Trumpezoids must be kept from spoon-fed Russian government/Republican propaganda for an extended period, until returning back to normal.
Yes, Doc, it seems the ugly stain will remain upon the nation. But the cure was always there. Republicans are choking to death from their own propaganda, having copiously binge gorged until they became sick, and a sickness upon society. No Grecian legend foretold this tale (well, OK, maybe the lust for power, narcissism, abandonment of reason, obsession with wealth, vanity, and doomed ending parts), but a lesson shouldn't have been required. Only common sense.

You the one Sarge puts on the machine gun emplacement, and as soon as the first bullet is fired, start spraying wildly and indiscriminately in every direction, spinning 360 degrees, round and round, killing friend and foe alike! Not about age, doofus...or race, or religion, gender, or sexual orientation. It's about the Republican Party! Even then, there remains a few patriotic Republicans rejecting Trump, and some like Mueller working to bring him down. Let's please correctly identify the targets before opening fire!

Deny, denigrate, distract, degrade, deflect, divide, disparage, dissemble, diminish, deceive, dehumanize, devolve, destroy = deranged, debased, dishonest, depraved, dysfunctional, destructive, disgusting, dupliticious, deplorable, demented, derelict, degenerate, dumb! That's the dirty doggone deal about the Republican cult. Nothing's changed except the slimy slugs slithered forth from under their rock, in a sick symbiosis enabling their enabler, Racist and Rapist-in-Chief Trump. It's not rally around the flag; it's rally around their hate!

Trump has left Senate Republicans little choice but to impeach him, or they make a complete mockery out of themselves, the law, Congress, Constitution and country! Sure, the rats will scurry, and the worms slither, but at the end of the day, they must come up with twenty amongst them willing to fall on their swords. Volunteers likely to be rare with these cowards, so this is where the action is expected to really start heating up, with Senate Republicans vying viciously and vitriolically against each other for those coveted 'No' votes to avoid crossing their cult, while still getting Trump out of there and salvaging as many GOP seats in Congress as they can!

Very kind and extremely moving words for Elijah Cummings, Rep. Norton, spoken so true! As does ring so true that this was the worst time for this nation to lose one of its greatest public servants to ever grace its sacred chambers of Congress, when needed most! It is with deep respect and admiration, and great regret not to have known him personally, that the loss of Elijah Cummings is sorely felt. This nation suffers, already missing his unifying force, compassion, quiet patience and dignity, and honest, eloquent voice for justice. He is succeeded by some very capable Democrats in Congress, the very best and finest group of Democrats as a whole to ever represent and serve their constituents in the history of this nation, IMHO, and I'm extremely proud of all of them. May they keep his flame alive and burning bright for future generations! You will not be forgotten, Elijah!
Suspect the thing that really killed Elijah Cummings is the same thing slowly killing Robert Mueller and those rare few other sane conservatives like him, and all the rest of us fighting against a Republican cult hellbent on betrayal of everything for which America stands, that thing slowly but ever so surely killing America, too.
These are sad times in America, but for some inexplicable reason the passing away of Elijah Cummings strikes particularly hard upon the heart, in a way not thought possible. I am, however, grateful and enriched to have gained greater appreciation of him in these last months of his distinguished and accomplished life.
