[quote] More American support impeaching President Donald Trump than oppose it, a new poll shows. The poll, conducting by Democratic polling company Public Policy Polling, found that 48 per cent supported such a move, while 41 per cent opposed it. The same poll found Americans were evenly divided on the issue just three months before. Researchers surveyed voters between 12 and 14 May – after Mr Trump's surprising dismissal of FBI director James Comey, but before revelations from the Washington Post that the president had reportedly shared classified information with Russian officials.

The bigger question is: when will they actually impeach this gutter trash of a human being? :thinking: The numbers are no surprise, considering the backlash over the Comey firing affair and subsequent fallout, though.
Take it with a grain of salt because PPP is a liberal pollster but they also have a B+ rating from 538 in terms of methodology.

Till then it's wishful thinking.
I think the most we can look forward to is that any Democratic candidate (because fuck the GOP) is going to have a lot of ammunition to use against Trump in the 2020 election. I would honestly be surprised if Trump was impeached. But then, a lot can happen in four years, and Trump is incapable of learning from his mistakes...
[QUOTE=Code3Response;52235677]That's not a bad reading for the amount of trash on the list[/QUOTE] Yeah, but beware of wishful thinking.
[URL="https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/"]on a related note his disapproval ratings have hit the highest they've ever been according to 538[/URL], though his approval ratings are still .2% off breaking his previous low
The fact that this question is being asked a bit more than 100 days into the administration is shocking on its own.

Republicunts in congress and senate aren't gonna impeach this guy. They're to spineless.
guys... read the whole thing [url]http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/2017/05/health-care-puts-house-in-play.html[/url] this is the worst poll for one person ever if this continues, he will get impeached right after Democrats wave into Congress
I was right, It had taken months for the general population to switch their stand of impeaching Trump.
The best thing people can do in lieu of him getting impeached is staying motivated to vote for another year and a half. Stay pissed off. Don't comfort yourself thinking that the Democrats are a shoe-in come midterms. A lot of people thought Hillary was a shoe-in and look where we are now.

Is congress even working on articles of impeachment? I remember the republicans tried several times to impeach President Obama
[QUOTE=Dr.C;52237176]Is congress even working on articles of impeachment? I remember the republicans tried several times to impeach President Obama[/QUOTE] The republican party will stand by Trump no matter what happens.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;52237188]The republican party will stand by Trump no matter what happens.[/QUOTE] I don't think so. If Trump gets so wildly unpopular that it starts to affect the reelectability of GOP congressmen, then you're gonna see them start to jump ship, and I think we already are starting to see it.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;52237188]The republican party will stand by Trump no matter what happens.[/QUOTE] No. When the "grab her by the pussy" video leaked, they dropped his ass hard and not even Pence stood with him. He was supposed to lose and the GOP was going to try to preserve their image and try to keep their seats in congress because this was going to be the end of them but nope. Americans were fine with a sidewalk booger of a human being over Clinton and her scandals
[QUOTE=Aide;52236751]Republicunts in congress and senate aren't gonna impeach this guy. They're to spineless.[/QUOTE] They are spineless, which is why they are going to keep him around until it does more harm than good for them. And at the current trajectory, that point will come.

Even taking the Chaffetz letter at face value, the President has committed no impeachable offense, and has in fact acted reasonably within the law.
[QUOTE=Chonch;52238923]This. Even taking the Chaffetz letter at face value, the President has committed no impeachable offense, and has in fact acted reasonably within the law.[/QUOTE] There should be an investigation to make sure he hasn't.

I wouldn't count on any sort of criminal investigation until there is a formal charge brought to the floor of the House, and as of yet there is no workable evidence to do so.

[QUOTE=Chonch;52239985]The President has full discretion over the scope of intelligence investigations within his administration. Added to that, the FBI director is a member of the administration, and serves at the pleasure of the President. He could have been fired for styling his hair wrong as far as the law is concerned. Is it worth looking into? Yes, and House Oversight is currently doing so under the auspices of Jason Chaffetz. Their probe resulting in a criminal charge seems to me highly unlikely.[/QUOTE] You are completely divorcing intent from Donald Trump's actions, it has been explicitly stated that Donald Trump fired him for looking too closely into the whole Russia thing.

However, charging a private citizen and charging the President (known as impeachment) are very different processes here in the US, hardly comparable. I don't see how Hillary's case is relevant.

[QUOTE=Alice3173;52239992]You sure he was referring to Hillary? Cause there kinda was a Clinton (hint: her husband) who was president and faced impeachment...[/QUOTE] Admittedly I wasn't around much to see Bill Clinton's whole debacle, and I haven't read up on it recently.
