Showing Original Post only (View all)Trump is an Illegitimate President Due to a Conspiracy with a Hostile Foreign Power [View all]
As the evidence continues to be revealed, we need to keep in mind this makes all of Trumps appointments and all of his nominations for appointments illegitimate. It also makes all of their collective decisions and rules illegitimate. This goes far beyond a Constitutional crisis. What are the solutions that I believe go far beyond impeachment of Trump? Robert Reich has suggested an annulment. What would that look like? We are in uncharted territory and new solutions are called for. Otherwise, I believe America is over and done.

The electoral college gambit would NOT have worked if Traitor Trump had not conspired

The electoral college is beside the point here. Trump is indeed illegitimate in a big way.

If that's the Case, Doesn't that Invite Future and Even Further Foreign Interference?

The constitution failed to foresee this situation - therefore the constitution can't remedy it.

Sure it can. It's right there in said Constitution. Impeachment and conviction.

And you'll be cool with that when the Republicans do it, right? 'Cause you know they will.

To suggest that Trump is legitimate is to say that the Constitution really is a suicide pact...

Correction, it should be "due to an ongoing conspiracy with a hostile foreign power"
