Not going to happen, as nearly all of those signatures come from people in states that will be voting for Clinton anyway.

Oh no, guys. Less than 1% of all people who voted for Clinton took the time to sign a petition saying the popular vote should decide elections. We have no choice but to change the Constitution now.

Yet you seem to jump on the opportunity to crucify all liberals for the recent riots by an extreme minority of the base... lol...

completely steals the spotlight from peaceful protesters who might actually make your cause look good

On the topic of the riots though these people need to wake the *** up... they're out there portraying the very attitude they claim they're against... even the ones that aren't getting violent need to keep the others under control or they're just becoming complicit... jesus people...

Fat chance amirite?

Yes they need to stop. All their doing is justifying and validating whatever potential deplorable policy and treatment they fear is coming their way.

Sometimes I hope he turns out to be demagogue and a dictator just to see if all the 2nd amendment Yahoos are more than just talk.

On the topic of the riots

You don't want to test an armed nation. Things will go bad quickly !

Yeah my AR-15 will totally even the odds against the M1A1 with golden bedazzled "TRUMP" emblazoned on its side patrolling my neighborhood while supported by platinum plated Trump combat drones.

The Iraqis had no problem taking out abrams with some copper and explosives.

Yes because soldiers are just generic mook robots that exist only for some charismatic camera friendly hero to shoot.

Just like how ...

Donald Trump could be impeached within weeks, according to at least one legal professor.

There is a strong case for the beginning of legal proceedings that would stop Donald Trump from being president, says law professor Christopher Peterson.

A paper from Professor Peterson says that there is ample evidence to charge the new President-elect with crimes that would see him potentially being removed from office.

Professor Peterson’s analysis was written in September, before Mr Trump became president. But the argument makes it applies after the election, too.

The paper revolves primarily around Trump University, the school that the President-elect set up and then closed down in 2010. It faces numerous lawsuits – one of which will see Mr Trump take the witness stand in coming weeks – and argues that Mr Trump’s behaviour laid out in those lawsuits could be grounds for lawmakers to impeach their new President.

At the very least, the problems will cast a shadow over Mr Trump’s status as President-elect and then as President, Professor Peterson says.

“In the United States, it is illegal for businesses to use false statements to convince consumers to purchase their services,” explained Peterson. “The evidence indicates that Trump University used a systemic pattern of fraudulent representations to trick thousands of families into investing in a program that can be argued was a sham. Fraud and racketeering are serious crimes that legally rise to the level of impeachable acts.”

Actually having Donald Trump impeached requires a whole new set of processes. Public opinion and that of lawmakers must turn against the president, since the proceedings must begin with the House of Representatives.

If Donald Trump were impeached, it’s likely that his Vice-President, Mike Pence, would take over to lead the country.

Petitions have already been created asking that Donald Trump be removed from office.

“Donald Trump has won the 2016 presidential election,” write the creators of a petition posted online under the title ‘Impeach Donald J Trump’. “It is clear something is wrong here if an openly homophobic, racist, xenophobic and sexist individual can become the most powerful man in the world.”

Just that petition has been signed tens of thousands of times and is addressed at the US Congress, the US House of Representatives, Barack Obama and “The People of the United States”.

“Make it clear you do not want this man leading our free nation. Donald Trump as POTUS is a danger to the entire world,” the authors write. “By signing this petition you are taking your stance and requesting the immediate impeachment of Donald Trump - to remove his position as President of the United States of America.”

Most impeachments have been for behavior committed while in office. But it does appear to be possible that a President could be impeached for issues that arose before they actually came into the White House.

A march and demonstration against Trump at Trump Tower essentially fizzled Saturday when only 500 “protesters” of the promised 5000 showed up. Infiltrating the crowd, I learned most were from MoveOn or the Occupy movement. Soap was definitely in short supply in this crowd. Several admitted answering a Craig’s list ad paying $16.00 an hour for protesters.

/kanye interupts... Hey! does anyone have any good (and short <5 min clip) riot footage of protestors eating tear gas and getting billyclubbed? hook me up!!!

Anyone want to calculate the odds?

Sadly police today aren't allowed to fight back. What's a riot if there is no blood ?

With a Republican Congress? Extremely slim to none.
