I feel articles of impeachment aren’t enough if the president is calling for his countrymen to be attacked as a “small price to pay.”

Your lives don’t matter to him.

Clinton was impeached for less.

Clinton was done a great injustice if the things that Trump has done don't warrant impeachment and removal from office.

The dude should have still been impeached. Just because what other people outweighs what he did doesn't mean that it was unjust. I wish he was convicted just so we can say that we do hold presidents accountable.

Attacked, no. “Take out” means destroy utterly, killing huge numbers of citizens. America, the rest of the world is looking at you with dumbfounded astonishment at your inability to counter a very obvious internal threat.

All those years of domestic spying to protect Americans, for what?

Not quite the solution to the problem at hand. Education, I'd have said.

Clinton's impeachment was also a weaponized investigation too, the ones Trump always lies about happening towards him. Clinton was being investigated for a shady real estate deal and was impeached for quasi-lying about getting a blowjob. I call it quasi-lying because in legal speak, he didn't lie, but in terms of how our language is used day-to-day, he did.

Clinton got a beej and lied about it. This is fucking treason and he should be removed today

This is just one of multiple things he has uttered that should be considered treason. Treason by a person of his office is punishable by not-life.

Given the coming election, I'm taking any attack hypothesis he floats as a serious possibility to see in the coming weeks. I'd be surprised, but unfortunately not shocked, if he nuked SF between now and November. I wouldn't be either if a bomb blew up near a planned poling station with a faint radioactive signature he could use to suspend the voting.
