America's new president gave an address to a joint session of Congress. The Los Angeles Times posted a full transcript of the speech (along with remarks from its staff that may require Javascript to view); Bloomberg uploaded a video of the event.

The New York Times called it "the most presidential speech Mr. Trump has ever given — delivered at precisely the moment he needed to project sobriety, seriousness of purpose and self-discipline."

    Your analogy fails because the wolf is there, just dummies like yourself can't see it or don't believe the wolf is actually going to eat your sheep. As I already stated the call for impeachment was opinion, I don't have the concrete evidence necessary to accuse Trump of actual treason. So far we only have near-criminal levels of incompetence.

    The conspiracy trick was created by Nixon and his yes-men, are you really that old? Thankfully it isn't an issue, the majority of US citizens agree with me that Trump sucks. Hard pill to swallow huh? Next time don't back a Turd.

    As I already stated the call for impeachment was opinion, I don't have the concrete evidence necessary to accuse Trump of actual treason.

    As long as Trump follows the rule of law (at least as well as the other presidents who managed to not get impeached, which is a fairly low standard) and/or evidence of wrong doing of sufficient scale doesn't turn up in a few years, then the grounds for impeachment just don't exist. With your fake accusation, you provide material support to your alleged enemies (here, Trump and his supporters). That calls into question your motives. Are you actually trying to resist Trump's rise to power? Or are you undermining opposition to Trump by crying wolf [wikipedia.org], merely pretending to be in opposition to Trump on spurious grounds?
