Yeah it’s literally what impeachment is for

This ranks right up there with “overturning an election result” as dumb anti-impeachment propaganda

Yes, please hang you hopes on the lamest impeachment ever. The US Senate will acquit, it just a matter of how and when. Trump will get elected again, it's just a matter of by how much. You have 5 years before Donald Trump Jr wins and does what the Bush family did. Father and son Presidents.
Or maybe Ivanka and Jerrod take over. Whatever.
Seriously, take a good look at that Democratic field and ask yourself who in that 2020 special ed class can beat Trump. Nobody.

Good Fellas Hilarious Meme | THE LIBTARDS DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE SARCASM. THIS WAS A LIBERAL POSTING AND THEY ARGUE WITH THEM BECAUSE IT WENT OVER THEIR HEAD. | image tagged in memes,good fellas hilarious | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

That is hilarious! What I think is more funny, however, is...if I'm not mistaken...the saying, "grasping at straws" has been misinterpreted and is generally misunderstood by these children. The saying isn't referring to plastic drinking straws in any way. The origin of the saying comes from the idea of a person who is drowning trying desperately to grasp something on shore, only to grasp handfuls of straw or dry grasses, which aren't able to offer enough support to pull themselves out by.

So, to the person who spent the time to actually create that piece of art, I hope it was in jest. And to those contemplating using the template, think twice.

Straw Man | THIS KIND OF STRAW INDEED. | image tagged in straw man | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
Just like I heard some one say what does that do to the price of eggs. When it used to be what does that HAVE to do with the price of eggs which as a kid confused me because I had no idea what anything had to do with the price of eggs. Lol.

If it isn't, then the Constitution is a piece of used toilet paper.

More presidents, of both parties, should be impeached and removed.

Then why vote at all if we are just going to pick sides and remove things we do not like. Just take all the rights, establish a king and go back to being ruled over and lorded over. Is that the way?

You seem to have jumped to a nearly exact opposite conclusion from my comment then I would have, and I don't see how you got there.

Removal of corrupt and power abusing heads of states should be commonplace. That's the opposite of an unremovable king.

I'll take that as an admission of error, since it has nothing to do with anything I wrote.
