You know you have Trump Derangement Syndrome if you're wearing a safety pin to show you're an ally. You know you're a sufferer of TDS if your basement is full of stolen Trurmp lawn signs. You know you've come down with TDS if you're already pushing the impeachment of Trump... before he even takes office.
And where better to find high grade TDS than at the Huffington Post where insane hatred of anyone to the right of Bernie Sanders is not just a hobby, it's a career..
There is only one constitutional way to remove a president, and that is via impeachment. What’s needed is a citizens’ impeachment inquiry, to begin on Trump’s first day in office.
Sure, why wait?
It's already pre-determined that Trump should be impeached. Waiting until he actually does anything would be redundant.
The inquiry should keep a running dossier, and forward updates at least weekly to the House Judiciary Committee. There will be no lack of evidence.
The materials should be made public via a website. The inquiry should be conducted by a distinguished panel whose high-mindedness and credentials are, well, unimpeachable.
This already exists. It's called the media.
Also it should include people shooting themselves in the face with glitter guns.
Trump has already committed grave misdeeds of the kind that the Constitutional founders described as high crimes and misdemeanors.
Who better to take Constitutional legal advice from than someone who doesn't understand that Trump has yet to take office.
John Shattuck, former Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights and former Washington legal director of the ACLU has pointed to the constitutional definition of treason: a crime committed by a person “owing allegiance to the United States who... adheres to their enemies, giving them aid or comfort.” By undermining further investigation or sanctions against the Russian manipulation of the 2016 election, Trump as president would be giving aid and comfort to Russian interference with American democracy.
Oh yes, please. Let's have a lecture on Russian treason from an organization co-founded by a Communist sympathizer working to overthrow the United States government.
For instance, Trump will very likely use agencies of government to punish political enemies. The Articles of Impeachment against Richard Nixon explicitly cited Nixon’s political misuse of the CIA, the FBI and the IRS.
Political misuse of the IRS? You mean like Obama.
