    I am in the camp that Trump must -not should- be impeached. If not this President, for this behavior, then what bar would have to be cleared to merit impeachment?

    Impeachment not only sends a signal to the country and the world that fomenting a coup is unacceptable and will be punished, but it also removes much of the threat Trump could pose going forward as, I understand it, he would lose his pension, his access to daily security briefings, free medical care and other amenities and benefits afforded to former Presidents. If impeached, he would not meet the definition of a Former President under the Former Presidents Act. I don't think it is clear whether he would continue to receive Secret Service protection.
     
    We should hope that media organizations, that many hold up to be accurate, wouldn't get down in the mud and behave like Trump.

    I know exactly why the media ran with the Mexicans are all rapists, fine people etc is because it harmed Trump. I think it's fine to call out those in the media when they are purposely being dishonest to help advance an agenda.

    Well, we all know that train left the station years, heck, decades ago.
     
    According to the "fact checker" Politifact, they rate is as false that Trump said all Mexicans are rapists.


    Our ruling

    Trump has roiled emotions with his debunked claims that the Mexican government is sending "rapists" and other violent criminals into the U.S. as unauthorized immigrants."

    Kaine has embellished the controversy by saying Trump has said "all Mexicans are rapists." The Democrat doesn’t come close to proving his claim; all of the Trump quotes Kaine’s campaign sent us pertain to unauthorized immigrants crossing the Mexican border into the U.S.

    No doubt, many Latinos have taken umbrage with what Trump actually has said. But Kaine put an insult into the mouth of Trump that never was uttered.

    So we rate Kaine’s statement False.


    of course it’s false

    he assumes some are good people
