“Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.” (Edmund Burke)
What a set-up for the orange one: He is amoral (not immoral because to be immoral one would have to have had some morals to begin with), his party of Republicons are willingly complicit and/or as corrupt as he is, and his AG, Barr, believes in the unlimited power of the executive.
The question is what will Speaker Pelosi and the Dems do now? The Speaker has repeatedly said that impeachment proceedings would divide the country. NEWS FLASH-the country is already divided! Since the horrible Bush v. Gore Republican Supreme Court decision gifting the 2000 election to “W,” we’ve become more and more divided. Here’s a suggestion: how ‘bout the Dems show some ACTUAL spine and show that neither the President nor any other person in America is above the law. Y’all talk a good game, but are seemingly way too worried about your own re-elections to take a strong stand against this law-breaking con man and his Republicon enablers.
(And just STOP comparing this situation to Clinton’s impeachment. They impeached Bill Clinton for cheating on his wife with an intern and because they were still mad about those tax hikes that he got passed that made them have to pay their fair share in taxes.)
YOU’RE NOT GONNA GET TRUMP’S SUPPORTERS/CULT MEMBERS TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC (Bernie and Amy, this is especially to you for going on State TV, aka: Fox).
You all need to understand that right-thinking, fair-minded Americans see through this Thug’s lies. What we want to see is our Congressional Democrats standing up to him and for our democracy by holding him accountable. Mueller gave you the road map. Follow it and “IMPEACH the MF (and Barr too while you’re at it). Otherwise, what little faith we have left in our government and it’s leaders will continue to melt away.
P.S-What if this was President Obama?
