The House impeachment vote isn’t scheduled until Wednesday, but that hasn’t stopped #ImpeachmentEve from trending; will writer Aubrey Hirsch predict an impeachment baby boom nine months from the impeachment vote like she did when Speaker Nancy Pelosi officially announced the impeachment inquiry?
In any case, here’s an impeachment eve tweet that takes some liberties with the source material in the Daily Beast, and it involves President Trump fleeing the United States and seeking asylum in Russia.
Putin's propagandists are openly speculating about Donald Trump fleeing to Russia for asylum because he'll be in bad shape after leaving the White House.
Will a handful of Republican Senators stand up to stop this?#ImpeachmentEvehttps://t.co/0YO0DSCgVs

Here’s what the Daily Beast reported:
[Russian state television has] also added a cynical new narrative filled with half-joking ironies as they look at the American president’s bleak prospects when he does leave office.
Appearing on Sunday Evening With Vladimir Soloviev, Mikhail Gusman, first deputy director general of ITAR-TASS, Russia’s oldest and largest news agency, predicted: “Sooner or later, the Democrats will come back into power. The next term or the term after that, it doesn’t matter… I have an even more unpleasant forecast for Trump. After the White House, he will face a very unhappy period.”
The host, Vladimir Soloviev, smugly asked: “Should we get another apartment in Rostov ready?” Soloviev’s allusion was to the situation of Viktor Yanukovych, former president of Ukraine, who was forced to flee to Russia in 2014 and settled in the city of Rostov-on-Don.

So, that cynical narrative filled with half-joking ironies has impeachment-watchers expecting to see Trump escape justice and flee to Russia.

I wonder where these clowns get their weed, cuz I’m concerned it’s been laced with LSD or something.

There’s also been speculation that Trump will flee to Alpha Centauri aboard a starship he secretly had built on the Moon.

Democrats never want to explain how Russia became a problem only *after* Trump won.

They laughed Mitt Romney off the debate stage in 2012.
There are people that believe this stuff, that's the scary part.

The Liberals all live in a make believe world. There isn’t an ounce of reality among them.

Can they remove blue checks once people go off their rocker? Because the connotation is that they're "certified" in some way other than insane…

They are delusional. Wait until they figure out that impeachment doesn't mean removal from office.

This is beyond delusional
A galaxy far far away beyond delusional.

First, the Resistance warned that Trump would not leave office peacefully if he lost the 2020 election, and now they have him fleeing to Russia.
What will really happen? We’ll have the election in 2020. Trump will likely win if the Democrats have already shown us their best. If he loses, the Democrat will assume office and Republicans will accept it without marching and rioting in the streets. And Trump will probably move to Florida and live happily ever after.
