"President Trump has courted so much Constitutional disaster in his first 100 days that an impeachment now seems like a safe bet, government ethics experts say.

"He does not seem to show any interest in not violating the Constitution," said Jordan Libowitz, communications director at the ethics watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) in Washington, D.C."



After first 100 days, Trump impeachment seems like a safe bet - NY Daily News (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/100-days-trump-impeachment-safe-bet-article-1.3099439)

"Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) U.S. government ethics and accountability watchdog organization.[3] CREW is a non-partisan legal watchdog group working to expose ethics violations and corruption by government officials.

One of its projects is "CREW's Most Corrupt Members of Congress", an annual report in which CREW lists the people it considers to be the Federal government of the United States's most corrupt politicians, which has since 2005 featured 25 Democrats and 63 Republicans.[4] Its activities include litigation, FOIA requests, congressional ethics complaints, Internal Revenue Service complaints, Federal Election Commission complaints, and requests for investigation with government agencies.[5]"

"In its November 1, 2004 issue, the magazine for the first time endorsed a presidential candidate, choosing to endorse Democrat John Kerry over incumbent Republican George W. Bush.[17] This was continued in 2008 when the magazine endorsed Barack Obama over John McCain,[18] in 2012 when it endorsed Obama over Mitt Romney,[19] and in 2016 when it endorsed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.[20]"

It's a liberal magazine...you can't trust it.

Time for me to defend Trump.

His flip flops relative to foreign policy are just fine with me. I do not know how his strongest supporters still are with him because he has done and advocates such far different polities than he ran on but I like them for what that is worth.

Foreign policy was my big concern, and it still is relative to his short temper and impatience but in general, his "flip flops" have not bothered me.

My concern, to the chagrin of those hard core extremists on here who could care less if he tells the truth, is till trusting what he says. There are now beginnings of editorials and talks about if you can trust his words and what he says. This is absolutely the worst quality for a President, ie/, not to be able to trust what he says.

Sean Spicer has been reduced to saying that you can trust what he says, unless he is kidding.......this is not what we want from the WH, no matter what you Trump lovers think.

He is looking at future trouble with his business dealings and taxes and better step up to the plate.

I do not think that he, personally, has any problems with the Russia ties being investigated although the defense of Flynn and the very odd, uncoordinated defense of Nunes just seems strange.

All the news pundits keep saying that he has not passed one significant piece of legislation that he promised for his first 100 days.

Now, I know that I don't understand all the ins and outs of politics and do not pretend that I do. I think I do know a wee portion of how our government is designed to work, though. With that being said, please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it CONGRESS that passes legislation, not the President?

Check out the 100 historical hustle. its akin to the debt ceiling. FDR introduced this arbitrary standard in 1933 with starting the "New Deal" and every president since has been urged by pundits and professors to launch their own version. Does anyone really believe rushing change is normal or healthy? what a poor test of a presidential quality the framers believed good legislation requires deliberation which means time (Charles Kesler Claremont Review of Books)

Let me pose another question about the arbitrary 100 days.

Are we talking about actual legislative days, work days, calendar days etc. Congress is gone a lot so if we are going to talk about 100 days let's first define what constitutes 100 days

deflect, is all that you can do....now deflect the tax plan...68162

Ok...First the 100 days you consider what I just said as a deflection.
suppose your boss increases your workload and at the same time cuts your workweek to three days. and suppose during those three days people you need to work with to get the job done do not show up. Now your a union shop and you are not allowed to do their portion of the work

Congress is out more than they are in and the separation of powers rule. Trump needs congress to be around and needs them not to game the system
So once again define 100 days....or whose 100dys are we talking about

As to the tax plan. all we hear is about the "fairness of taxes". Shouldn't the goal of taxes be more about their efficacy.

Example in Trump tax plan he calls for an elimination for the deduction of state taxes. Who yelled the loudest California, New York Connecticut, etc. Why because they are higher taxed states, all blue by the way. The elimination of the deduction they cry over is nothing more than demanding the rest of the nation's taxpayers pay (subsides) their reckless spending habits. And so now we have other states that say if you don't include the elimination of the deduction in your plan trump well that's no fair

What i am talking about is holding all politicians to being prudent spenders of taxpayers hard earned money . Trump's plan is what most people in this nation have been salivating about for a very long time...but we have to get over the "fairness"nonsense and focus on efficacy meaning simplicity in our tax policy

You don't think that Trump is catering to his voters with doubling the standard deduction? Most of his voters take the standard deduction.

What world do you live in that doesn't think that eliminating the sales income deduction wasn't directed at states that lean Democratic?

Who is contributing more in federal income taxes New York, California, New Jersey or North/South Dakota, Alaska, Mississippi?

Isn't taxing an individual's income for both state and federal double taxation? Wasn't that the justification for the state income tax deduction on itemization deductions?

Trump said he was going to pay more in taxes, because many of the items he uses will be eliminated. We know Trump never lies. RIGHT! He is the poster boy for the saying, " How do you know that he is lying? His lips are moving.

Eliminating the state income tax deduction will never fly. They are throwing it out there. When it is removed from the tax change proposal, they will treat it as a concession.
