Impeachment
Republicans tell us that Democrats have wanted to impeach Trump since the day he was elected
On the other hand, here's Vanity Fair's political reporter a couple of days before the 2016 presidential election:
With the latest polls showing Hillary Clinton remains likely to win the election on Tuesday, Republicans are preparing for the possibility of a second Clinton White House by promising to make the next four years a living hell. Some lawmakers are talking openly about refusing to approve any Supreme Court nominees until a Republican is elected president, the F.B.I. is investigating both the Clinton Foundation and the former secretary of state’s use of a private e-mail server, and House Republicans have vowed to launch additional investigations of their own. Now, a growing number of conservatives are warning that there could be a “constitutional crisis” if Clinton is elected, and threatening her with impeachment.
It's all part of the Democrat's Master Plan
From CNN reporter, Brian Karem:
Not from the Onion but from a WH source - "Hillary Clinton purposely lost the election with the aid of Russian hacking so the Democrats could then impeach Trump"

Finally, something to seriously ponder
On the occasion of his birthday, I want to say that I’m increasingly worried about what kind of world we’re going to leave to Keith Richards.
