    There are a few pressure points that would push me personally towards revolt (in no particular order).

    1. Taking away our guns.

    2. Regulating the flow of information on the internet.

    3. Instituting any kind of religious regime.

    4. Any kind of dictatorship, similar to what is happening in Turkey.

    5. The Blazers moving to Seattle.

    You know, I am truly amused. This dream of impeachment that CNN bangs on is flat out silly. Never going to happen.

    Never before have we investigated a candidate for President with out a crime committed.
    Never before have we investigated the President without a crime having been committed.
    Never before have we investigated the President in search of reason to impeach.

    Hmm, I may let the Blazers move, but I am in total agreement with you on the others.

    I welcome it. Unlike some of the people you think would be so easy to suppress, I have a tac vest, 10 mags, a primary and a secondary ready to go. Let's see what they've got.

    But that's the whole basis for this thread. That if Congress removes Trump via impeachment...armed revolution!

    Yes, no one is suggesting impeaching Trump right now. It depends on what the Mueller investigation reveals. If it reveals high crimes and/or misdemeanors, that's when impeachment will gain steam. Or if Trump clearly obstructs justice, like firing Mueller/Sessions or preemptively pardons himself.

    This is a little silly. The point of an investigation is to discover if a crime was committed. It's like saying, "Why are you investigating me for murder? You have no proof I even committed a murder!"

    The investigation is to find out if a crime has been committed.

    What is the point of an investigation if it is proven that a crime has been committed? Seriously - this does not make sense.

    If there is no issue, there should be no worries about the investigation, all it would do is prove that nothing happened and the issue will be resolved. If this is the case, one would think the administration would be happy for this investigation to go on, that's all there is to it. The amount of energy put into blocking this investigation sure does not make it seem like the administration is 100% sure everything is as clean as a whistle.

    This especially is absurd coming from an administration run by a man that went on a long-form birth certificate witch hunt that resolved to nothing.

    Obviously Paul Revere and one lantern if they're coming by land and 2 if by sea.

    Also, could last year's Clemson football team have beaten last year's New York Jets?

    It is simply failure to recognize the loss of the election. Elections choose the President. It last for four years, not retried by endless investigation.
    If you can not abide by law, then matter are normally settled by force of arms. Reasonable men normally stick with law.

    If there is a possibility of a crime, investigations should happen, no?

    And if there was election fraud or collusion, when would you suggest we investigate?

    It boggles my mind that people who grew up during the Cold War aren't having conniptions about possible Russian tampering in our Presidential election. Have you people forgotten that they were the enemy not even 30 years ago?

    Unless that President commits high crimes or misdemeanors, right?
