Napolitano is on Fox saying they now have the last piece of the puzzle and Trump is toast. Guilty of paying his lawyer to commit a felony. He left a small window saying the prosecutors have to decide to go ahead.
A couple of days ago it looked like Napolitano was leaning this way.

Dems won't go for impeachment over a campaign finance case and they also need Republican support they don't have. Nadler has said something about extending the time that Trump could be charged if he is re-elected. The people trying to nail Trump are insiders that scratch each other's backs and have been friends for years. Hillary and her foundation are a bigger problem for the country. The foundation raked in money when Clintons had power. Partisans turn their heads. Are there still people that believe the uranium deal was ok? It is just some uranium? We had a shortage. Considering national security, paying a lawyer to pay a woman is a boy tinkling in the Mississippi in comparison.

Politicians love laws. The yellow jackets people are wearing in France during the protests? They are required by law to keep them in their cars. And a minimum of 40% of music on a privately owned station must be in the French language.

I hear the Dems on this issue. They are also talking nonsense. The wall won't work? It doesn't matter how high you build it, there are ladders one foot higher, etc? They make our country money? They give the US more than they take, etc? And they come just to work on the farms? Also, we can't spend money on a wall when there are people in the US going to bed hungry.
And the best Trump defense, Hillary was not inaugurated. 

The Dems or Repubs probably have reeled in a president from their party. Can anybody recall when that has happened?

The Republicans informed Nixon he did not have the votes and he needed to resign.

Yes, I think he vetoed it twice and then gave in. Limiting it to, was it five years total?

I believe it's because Fox doesn't cover them and you won't hear it on the Rush hour. As far as I can determine, the one reporter on Fox news who called out Trump on his lies isn't there anymore. So, the Trump base basks in the basket of bull that Trump dumps on a daily basis. You won't hear one of them asking why we need to shut down the government to fund the wall if Mexico is going to pay for it. It goes on and on with this crap..
Oh, oh, oh. See Trump lie. Oh, oh, oh.
In a politician's dream world voters would be as concerned with what politicians SAY as they are with what politicians DO.
Trump RECOGNIZED Jerusalem. Other presidents SAID they would do it.
Bush and Obama SAID our allies should pay more of their share. Trump DID it. Allies kicked in $12 billion more to NATO.
Other presidents SAID they would keep a reasonable price on oil. Trump knows reasonable energy prices are the lifeblood of an economy. Trump INCREASED oil production and KEPT prices low. Exploration in ANWR, Keystone Pipeline.
Obama SAID we would have a good economy. Trump has us HEADING into 3rd consecutive quarter above 3%.
Bush SAID we would have conservative judges. Trump APPOINTED decades worth.

Conservatives have been disappointed with what presidents have SAID about the border. Trump is a president that will ACT to improve the situation.
Best of all, Hillary WAS NOT INAUGURATED. The Crooked Clinton machine has almost ground to a halt. 
His lies pale in comparison.

EDIT:
I don't want a person like Diane Feinstein eroding my gun rights while she thinks it is ok if she has one in her purse. This is one area where liberals will ACT more than they SAY they will.

You probably also believe Trump when he said we would have the biggest and best healthcare insurance at the lowest cost. We don't have any BS wall and we don't have any insurance plan forthcoming from the Trump administration. And we certainly have conservative justices on the court well before Trump arrived. Trump's mega-lying is catching up to him and the man is being caught in his own doing.
I certainly don't care who pays for the wall. Walls have been effective for thousands of years. Trump gets elected and Dems claim walls don't work! Dems are against them because they do work. That's another reason Dems are against Trump. He is getting conservative things accomplished. People are seeking political points by claiming walls don't work. It is nuts to think a welfare state can live next to Mexico without good walls.
I don't believe politicians when they start their healthcare talking points. It is reasonable, though, to say that this country will not be able to afford the health care proposals the left is enthused about.
There were conservative judges on the court before Trump so I shouldn't want him to appoint any?
Again, the things I mentioned that he accomplished (there are a lot more) are more important to this country  than a whole trainload of the junk he says. Politicians are thrilled voters are so taken in by the crap they say. "Are you  going to believe what I say or your lying eyes?"

Ok, I'm going to check it out but my first impression is it looks like me holding a Mad magazine when I was in the 6th grade. I  wrote the magazine a letter and they printed it with some changes. A couple of times Anderson has reminded me of Alfred E Neuman.
