I think the country is quite sick of the entire Trump / Russia / Collusion / Obstruction / Election controversy. Now that we have FBI vetted proof, would resignation not be the best thing for the country? Impeachment is ugly and would guarantee a couple more years of this crap and I don't think anyone really wants it, especially if it will be blocked by Republicans.

Should Trump resign?
 
Resign what?
 
Well, I think Trump should resign because he is a bad president. But if someone didn’t think he should resign before the Mueller report I don’t see much reason they should change their mind now.
 
No he should not resign because of some loony lib-tard Trump/Russia conspiracy theory. Everyone who accused Trump of being a Russian spy/asset or accused him of colluding with Russia should apologize to the American people for wasting their time with this partisan crap.
 
Resign over what? The guy was cleared of the collusion lie. If anyone should resign it should be those on the left that have spread this lie over the last two years.

But, as the Mueller report shows (and Barr lied about) obstruction is as plain as day.

I know that's too painful for some people to be able to face, but it won't change the reality of it.

Yes...we are all tired of the leftists pushing conspiracy theories. Y'all need to resign from all social media, regular media, or making any public statements in general.
 
Trump should resign but he wont...yet. Now that the report is out congress will gain access to the redactions and he will face criminality. Then he will resign just like Nixon, the difference being Pence cannot pardon from SDNY.

Wrong.

I know that's too painful for you and others to be able to face, but it won't change the reality of it.

I think his haters should resign from office, the media and social media.

Trump should raise his head proudly, saying to them, GAME OVER.

Question is, does the House majority have the cajones to impeach ??

Seeing as you're laughably ignorant of what it actually says, you simply wouldn't know.

It paints a picture of MASSIVE corruption on the part of your god.

Corruption that you apparently relish and celebrate.

Proof? You've got nothing.

IMO the House Majority, in conjunction with the Senate minority, will investigate and investigate and run the clock out in hopes this is a big enough bludgeon to keep the House, win the Senate and the WH. They won't impeach.

Actually, according to the report, obstruction was NOT plain as day. Mueller went to great lengths to note that 1512(c)(2) covered damned near anything a person might do but also noted (though nowhere near as thoroughly) that to charge, one would also need to prove "corrupt intent" and he really didn't think he had enough to go on there. What he had were, primarily, outbursts from Trump and general ranting and raving. Yes, some of those rants took the form of orders but since Trump never followed up when those orders were disobeyed they could certainly be construed as mere rants. Furthermore, the fact that WH staff were generally instructed to cooperate with the investigation would be indicative that corrupt intent didn't apply in any meaningful way.

Well, now would be a good time to primary Hoyer, as he came out today and essentially said, "No, we won't do this."

Because we already knew he had overtly obstructed and don't care that he is overly disrespectful of law?

Maybe he should be impeached because he sees a civil war as beneficial to him personally so he continually pushes us toward one?

Yeah, that's what I do, relish and celebrate corruption, 'cause you say, I'm "laughably ignorant."

Like I said above....

He instructed Don McGahn to fire Mueller due to imaginary conflicts of interest, among other things.

Page 220: "The conclusion that Congress may apply the obstruction laws to the President's corrupt exercise of the powers of office accords with our constitutional system of checks and balances and the principle that no person is above the law." IOW, impeach him.

Page 300: "Substantial evidence, however, supports the conclusion that the President ... directed McGahn to call Rosenstein to have the Special Counsel removed. First, McGahn's clear recollection was that the President directed him to tell Rosenstein ... 'Mueller has to go.'"

Page 370: "The President's efforts to influence the investigation were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his requests." That they were unsuccessful is irrelevant to the fact that he made attempts.
