And why would you want this?
Specifically please, not sound bites, not rhetoric from the Dems, or left, not what your buddy told you or BLM shouted at thier last riot..ooops, "protest"
But specifcally, what Policy position that has been stated by him or his team are you against?
Again, if you will, not the fantasy or conspiracy stuff.. Nor the wild accusations of "what he is going to do"
Not what he may or may not have said in mean things years ago before he was elected as the 45th president.
BUT as the president .....what policy position, or stated shift, change HE HAS MADE that you feel is so bad, he should be impeached or otherwise stopped>>>>??? (provide a link to the video where he said it, or the article that cites a position paper HE wrote)

SSG Jessica Bautista - The longer the pregnancy, the larger the placenta and more vascular it becomes with greater risk for bleeding. We are pretty good at doing most procedures in 2016 however some remain with greater risk. A huge concern I have with abortion is government over sight. The government has had a large role in making healthcare safe and it has been for our general good except abortions. If you go to your dentist and they say it is unsafe to give you 5mg PO versed for sedation for wisdom teeth removal, no one complains. If the government says all abortion clinics must meet the same standards as other outpatient surgery clinics, pro-choice advocates scream loud and far that we are trying to control abortion. One of the requirements in the Texas law was that abortion providers have admit privileges at a hospital within 30miles. All it really takes for that provider to have said privileges is to contact administration at that hospital, get credentialed, and they are done. Direct admission streamlines the process and for someone bleeding out, I think it is important and if the provider is unwilling to take those steps, I have to question why. Thirty miles to a hospital is reasonable and even then, you are looking at a minimum 35min by helo from clinic to major facility if something goes bad. I believe the Texas case went all the way to the Supreme Court because several clinics could not or would not meet these safer requirements and would need to close. The law did not stop abortion in Texas, all it was going to do was say loud and clear, You have to drive further for an abortion and these are the safest clinics. The left likes to champion they are for women and I have always been at a loss how that can be when a basic right under Roe V. Wade is not allowed to be the safest it can be.

MAJ Byron Oyler - And I can appreciate the precautions for late-term abortions, but a majority are done earlier, and don't require a hospital setting. Vasectomies are actually more invasive, and those are done in doctor's offices. As far as Texas goes, it was clear to us that the restrictions were only put in place in order to limit access. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_57717093e4b017b379f6cb23

SSG Jessica Bautista - Vasectomies are no where more invasive with the exception of abortions ended with PO meds however those still present a greater risk to a women's health than a vasectomy to a male. This here is a significant reason abortions remain under regulated, folks like you that think you know what is safe and unsafe here and base pro-choice decision off of it. Ever seen a man's health center, especially on a military post where a majority of soldiers are male? No you have not and the reason is a female's health is much more complicated. Significant risks are incurred just from birth control to the point that my wife and I decided I was the one to get fixed. There is so much under education into women's health on the pro-choice side and it is sad that people chose politics over the health of women in this county; saddest part is the Democrats believing and fooling women everywhere that they are the biggest advocates for women-they are not.

I realize that you are not the creator of the discussion title SSG Jessica Bautista. In the 1970's Cracked was a competitor of Mad Magazine which did not last long. It is interesting to see that name again in a website.
Presidents of the USA do not reign. Reigning is the province of Kings, queens, emperors and empresses who are appointed, take rule by force or through heredity.
George Washington declined the offer to be crowned king and thankfully subsequent Presidents followed the rule set fort in the US Constitution.
Grassroots activism has been emphasized in conservative circles for over 20 years. The gains made in the past 10 years in the statehouses and governor's mansions are part of the fruit of that movement. I expect some realignment in 2017 [New Jersey and Virginia elections] as well as 2018. The 2002 Census will no doubt continue to reflect the pattern of people moving from New York and New England and California to the southeast and southwestern states with Congressional seats shifting accordingly [along with Presidential electors].

As you have noted, this is a humor site. The article has only one point: elections for the house and Senate are in two years. Everything else is humor. Thank you.

Well, while it is true that there will be a congressional election in two years, and another Presidential one in four, what is failed to be mentioned in the article is the fact that of the 33 Senate seats up in 2018, only 8 of them are currently held by a Republican. Several are in states won by Trump this year.
Montana, N Dakota, and Indiana are likely Republican gains.
Defending Nevada seems to be their biggest test.
Elections in Florida, W Virginia, Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Michigan are going to be competitive, and turnout at the mid-term will be key.
The Democrats are pretty safe in NY, NJ, Conneticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, California, Washington, and Minnesota.
Republicans are pretty safe in Texas, Wyoming, Nebraska, Utah, Arizona, Tennessee, Nebraska and Mississippi.

If I were a prognosticator, I would say that it is very likely the GOP gains five or more seats, with three of them nearly certain. As for the House, again turn out is key, but barring a complete failure of governance, the GOP will gain seats there as well.

It will be a long four years for the Democratic Party as they wander in the wilderness and eat their own for a while.

I'm hoping one of the Senate seats gained will be in my state, NH, but I'm not holding my breath.
