The first instance of a sitting Republican in Congress calling for Trump's impeachment.
"Contrary to Barr's portrayal, Mueller's report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment," Justin Amash, Third District of Michigan, said in a string of messages on Twitter.

Justin Amash @justinamash tweeted the following on 12:30 PM - 18 May 2019 . . .
Here are my principal conclusions:
1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
4. Few members of Congress have read the report.
I offer these conclusions only after having read Mueller’s redacted report carefully and completely, having read or watched pertinent statements and testimony, and having discussed this matter with my staff, who thoroughly reviewed materials and provided me with further analysis.
In comparing Barr’s principal conclusions, congressional testimony, and other statements to Mueller’s report, it is clear that Barr intended to mislead the public about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s analysis and findings.
Barr’s misrepresentations are significant but often subtle, frequently taking the form of sleight-of-hand qualifications or logical fallacies, which he hopes people will not notice.
Contrary to Barr’s portrayal, Mueller’s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment.
In fact, Mueller’s report identifies multiple examples of conduct satisfying all the elements of obstruction of justice, and undoubtedly any person who is not the president of the United States would be indicted based on such evidence.
Impeachment, which is a special form of indictment, does not even require probable cause that a crime (e.g., obstruction of justice) has been committed; it simply requires a finding that an official has engaged in careless, abusive, corrupt, or otherwise dishonorable conduct.
While impeachment should be undertaken only in extraordinary circumstances, the risk we face in an environment of extreme partisanship is not that Congress will employ it as a remedy too often but rather that Congress will employ it so rarely that it cannot deter misconduct.
Our system of checks and balances relies on each branch’s jealously guarding its powers and upholding its duties under our Constitution. When loyalty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the Constitution, the Rule of Law — the foundation of liberty — crumbles.
We’ve witnessed members of Congress from both parties shift their views 180 degrees — on the importance of character, on the principles of obstruction of justice — depending on whether they’re discussing Bill Clinton or Donald Trump.
Few members of Congress even read Mueller’s report; their minds were made up based on partisan affiliation — and it showed, with representatives and senators from both parties issuing definitive statements on the 448-page report’s conclusions within just hours of its release.
America’s institutions depend on officials to uphold both the rules and spirit of our constitutional system even when to do so is personally inconvenient or yields a politically unfavorable outcome. Our Constitution is brilliant and awesome; it deserves a government to match it.

Go ahead and impeach. I've been all but begging for impeachment for months now.
Please. Impeach. I implore you.

Trump's final words would be a tweet during his heart attack: "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Arrrgggghhh . . . " (Yes, that was an actual tweet from Trump at 4:01 AM - 17 May 2019)

You haven't seen/heard real emotion yet. Just wait! "S""G""G"
Son, if your unhinged rants haven't convinced me of anything yet, why do you suppose that more of the same will change my mind?
BTW, you, REAVERBOT, and SECONDRATE don't even recognize that I'm actually farther to the left than you are. But I'm not the gushy-touchy-weepy-angrydrunk-unhinged kind like you; I really do believe in tracking down problems to their ultimate origins, and holding EVERYONE accountable for their contributions to the clusterfuck - NOT JUST REPUBLICANS, and NOT JUST TRUMP.
Jeez, more facts and logic on your side would do wonders for you. Care to join me in an actual conversation where you respond to what is posted, and not just your overwhelming glandular secretions and booze?

I'm not at all going to argue that our current President is a poster child for the Presidential Physical Fitness Awards. I'm also not going to argue that under that suit the 72 year old has a lot of muscle either.
I will point out that the BMI scale used widely today is problematic.
Here's a list of our heaviest presidents before Trump (factored with BMI):
Quote:
Naturally, this is a question spawned by the possibility of a Chris Christie run for the presidency. It turns out, not too many presidents have been rotund. In fact, only five presidents have been “obese” according to the antiquated BMI. Taft (42.3 on the BMI), Cleveland (34.6), McKinley (31.1), Taylor (30.2), and Teddy Roosevelt (30.2). Bill Clinton was overweight with a BMI of 28.3.
And here's a Newsweek article from February about Trump's recent climb into "Obese" territory:
https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-obesity-bmi-overweight-1332943
Here, is CDC page with charts on Obesity:
https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/adult/defining.html
Now... personally speaking, I don't have too many doubts that during the height of my drinking before I sobered up and got back in shape, that I was legitimately Obese when I had peaked out around 225lbs.
But back in my early to mid 20's when I spent anywhere from 35 to 50 hours per week at the gym and was a brick shithouse weighing 209lbs at only around 5'7", I was technically obese by the very fallible BMI metrics. At a 32.73 BMI, I was higher in the prime of my life after years of power lifting than McKinley, Taylor, Teddy Roosevelt and Bill Clinton. And also Trump, who recently hit 30.4.
Hell... even right now, at 165lbs and a six pack showing, I'm at 25.8, which is well within the "Overweight" category.
But my recent blood work back in Janurary came back all within the acceptable levels on all counts except for Glucose, which was 3 pts higher than the high number. After discussing my very small list of foods regularly consumed with my gluten free diet and limited source of income, I was told to just swap out my Honey Nut Cheerios with regular Cheerios and I'd be fine, which is what I've been doing for 4 months now.
Trump's doctor says he's fine. I don't necessarily believe that is true. Without even the need to delve into conspiracy theories, I'm sure one could come up with a myriad of reasons why someone would lie about this.
He's a big guy, sure, but he is 72.
Quote:
At 30.4, Trump’s BMI is just above the average for U.S. men over the age of 60 (29.2), according to a recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report using a 2015-16 survey data.
I'll just say that I've seen and I personally know people who are far fatter than he is.
None of the other things you've pinned your hopes and dreams on regarding Trump have born any fruit up to this point. I'm going to suggest you don't waste any time wishing on a star that Trump has a heart attack unless you get some sort of pleasure out of it.
In that case, maybe it is good for your health to dream.
Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:Maybe Trump could do America a favor by dying like another GOP glutton, Justice Antonin Scalia, who choked on a late night snack. The fake news said he died in bed. The news was dignifying his death. He died in front of an open refrigerator, while chowing down on leftover fried chicken.

Keep dreaming bud.
At least you're getting warmer. At 72, the chances that any of your dark fantasies regarding Trump and his eating habits coming true are much more likely than impeachment or ever seeing his tax returns.
