Tea Pain understands your Trump troubles better than anybody. That feeling we all get when Trump cranks out another evidence-free tweet yammerin’ about 5 million illegal voters for Hillary or the latest saga about how the Tax Marcher’s were all paid for by mysterious “Deep State” deep pockets. After bearin’ up under countless Benghazi hearings which yielded nothin’, you’re beyond frustrated how Congress is draggin’ its heels investigatin’ the greatest crime in American History: Trump’s collusion with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
When you feel like you’re gonna flip your lid, console yourself with these thoughts…
- It took 26 months to bring down Richard Nixon after the DNC break-in at the Watergate Hotel. This was a small, cut-and-dried burglary where the conspirators were caught red-handed, and they were all Americans. With #TrumpRussia, we are dealin’ with a virtual DNC break-in at the hands of slippery Russian hackers and the machinations of a foreign power’s massive intelligence apparatus.
- The case against Trump must be air-tight and self-evident. Even though Trump’s popularity has fallen and it can’t get up, there’s still millions of droolin’, knuckle-draggin’, Trump-lovin’ Neanderthals that would gladly take to the streets with their shootin’-irons to defend their plump Messiah. The case against Trump has to be so persuasive that Trumpers will hang their heads in shame and keep the blood outta the streets.
- There must be no doubt of Trump’s guilt. You are talkin’ about accusin’ the most powerful leader of the free world of bein’ a traitor and a crook. The evidence must be conclusive, pursuasive and complete, not only to all Americans, but to the nations around the world so as not to further damage America’s standing and respect.
- The process must have a plan for national healing. The investigations and pursuant trials must be bipartisan and not appear like one party is usin’ it to overthrow the other. Otherwise our nation will be more divided than ever. The Republicans need to be convinced their candidate is guilty as well.
- Truth always wins. You can take this to the bank, fellow patriots. As a whole, America is still a great moral country and the truth still fetches a premium in our hearts. Evil will not prevail, but we must do this right, by the numbers and accordin’ to Hoyle. And when it’s over, we will be a better nation and a stronger people.
“Plump messiah.” Heh.

Nun, you really need to educate yourself. Possibly the best place to start would be looking up exactly how the process of impeachment, trial and removal works. Then a lengthy stroll though the details of the grounds for impeachment. Quite frankly, there is not the slightest need to even use all the evidence against Trump in an impeachment because of the many other violations he has already committed. However, the whole treasonous mess does need to be fully dealt with, regarding not just Trump but also his family members, staffers, cronies, and any of the GOP leadership.

I’ve been smoke-free since 2000, same amount of time as you. Don’t even joke about smoking again! It was so hard for me to quit. But I get the frustration! I feel it too, and yes, today’s digital technology with video and computers etc should be enough to send these goons to the can, for good! It took a long time to nail Nixon largely because most of the scandal was hidden, they had to trace the crime back to the Nixon’s White House. In Trump’s case, he was damaged goods from the start! Plus every week that goes by seems like another Watergate level scandal! How much more do we all have to suffer with this non-sense before they finally bring down orange orangutan and his mob?

45 said he was thinking of firing Comey last week, to throw the investigation into turmoil. He knows he’s caught. It is my hope that because this was an act of war, NATO will apply, giving our military to UN and not the traitor-in-chief? Our next elections are tanked before they started and next is Germany – we must act globally to protect ourselves. After 45 & the circus act, Putin needs to go.

Yup…patience is a virtue here. Read your Watergate histories (Woodward/Bernstein, or better yet Hunter S. Thompson.) There were times in 1973/early ’74 when Nixon’s team was more or less BEGGING Congress to move, because a premature impeachment/acquittal would’ve been politically disastrous for the Democrats. There are also the separate FBI investigations that are bubbling along…and, who knows, maybe a DA somewhere gets a bug up his/her posterior and decides to convene a Grand Jury just for sh*ts and giggles. Point is, we need to SLOWLY turn up the heat on Page, Manafort, Stone, Flynn et al until one of them cracks and goes full-on John Dean. Then–and only then–will we be able to give this fascist regime the burial it deserves.

Great job, Tea.
It is also critical to remember that any leaked evidence of colluding with Russia that is considered classified cannot be used in court, so Comey and other agencies must be able to prove many facts via a secondary means.
We only get one shot at this. The case must be air tight.

Thank you so much for writing this. I know people are very concerned about the damage he is/will do while we’re waiting but we are kick ass Americans and we will recover from all that. The more important thing at stake right now is our democracy. We need to trust the strength of our Constitution and the systems put in place to enforce it and that will take time. In the meantime we need to exercise our rights of citizens under that same Constitution through peaceful protests, pressuring our congressmen (they will respond eventually believe me) and voting.
Also look into your heart and do on a personal level what you know is right for you: volunteer in causes you believe in, run for office yourself, be kind to your neighbors — even those Trump lovin’ Neanderthals!
And lastly, after you’ve read Mark 5:36, turn to Mark 13. The Son of Man is in all of us folks and we know him when we see him.
