Has any sitting President ever been ousted, one way or another, within their first year in office?
There's a very good chance of this happening.
Trump supporters/Voters must be so proud.

Fake News!
(CNN)Former FBI Director James Comey wrote in a memo that President Donald Trump asked him to end the investigation of national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Comey was so appalled by the request that he wanted to document it, sources said. Comey shared it with FBI senior officials, according to sources.
"I hope you can let this go," Comey wrote, quoting the President. CNN has not viewed the memo but sources described it to CNN.
The memo is the clearest sign yet of potential interference by Trump with the investigation into whether members of his campaign team colluded with Russian officials.

McMaster, one of the few I respected in the Administration, no longer has any credibility. What a shame he let Trump pimp him out like the others.If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl Popper

And coming from the perspective of a 3rd partier - - All I ask for is consistency from both sides. Yet again, we see more examples of party vs party, pandering to constituents, and same old crappy politics.
We saw how both sides acted when HRC had her blackberries, servers and such - partisanship at its finest
When Comey got the ax - one would have thought both parties would have been happy - nope - partisanship again
Now Trump appears to be loose lipped and asking for favors - favors one would believe may have happened if he had political credibility to pull from - partisanship bs again.
Its the same old bs of both parties covering their asses and raising money.It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

As a third partier myself I disagree. I think both sides would have been happy with Comey being fired if he hadn't been in the middle of investigating Trump. I think that fact alone and that Trump will nominate his replacement is cause for a small bit of hysteria.
And if you mean by "Trump asking for favors" that an investigation would be called off. I don't think any amount of political credibility should allow that to be pulled off. I don't see how that is partisanship bs.

This isn't a question of 'consistency' or partisanship. These are situations which have the appearance of criminal obstruction of justice, willful misconduct at the very least. People try to excuse him by saying "oh, he is new to government". He spent over year running for the office of President. Are there not some books he could have read, or at least some youtube videos? Maybe 'Being President for Dummies'?
He told us for a year that he was the best, that he had the best skills, the best brain, the best words, and that the job was easy. Are we supposed to cut him slack now because he is ignorant of the most basic concepts, things a high school civics student or school board member would know? Or how about the kid who works at Dairy Queen? Don't tell our secrets to the Russians!
Here's the thing, all you guys who say you don't support Trump. You're anti-anti-Trump. You know you can't support this guy, so you troll or attack progressives, Dems or liberals. When are you going to stop saying 'what about Obama?' When will we no longer hear 'but her emails!' Smell the coffee guys. You elected him. Own him.If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. - Karl Popper

That said, I am not naive enough to believe that there have not been plenty of back room deals made to bury many potential investigations. Of course I also wear
Im likely tainted by my distrust of our government.
Also, the fact is that I did not vote Trump. I did not elect him - so please do not put that on me - it is false to say X voted for Y, T got elected. Therefore X's vote got T elected.
I could have stayed home and not voted but that non-vote is worse than actually voting for a platform that I agree with.It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years and we must stop it.

What Trump has been doing and continues to do is unconscionable and deems to be investigated and potentially impeached.
If we step back on this and had HRC been elected, you could be guaranteed she would still be under investigation. The Republicans would still be blocking any legislation she would have offered.
One think Trump is right about, the swamp needs to be drained, but it needs someone who has some knowledge of the swamp in order to drain it within the confines of the law, and not making our nation look the fool.
I think we should be planning for the introduction of President Pence some time in October-November."Looks like I picked a bad day to give up sniffing glue.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.
