Where do you stand now on Impeachment, given Trump’s recent behavior siding with Kim Jong Un against the CIA and saying he would take information on an opponent from a foreign nation again and not call the FBI?
I’ve always been for impeachment, but have been patiently waiting for more of the voting public to get on board. After Trump’s comments I’m squarely in the Impeach him now crowd, and throw the book at every one of them that breaks the law! Do it now.
We are past the point where impeachment hearings should of been happening. I’ve read the ENTIRE redacted Mueller report. There were over 140 times where people affiliated with the Trump campaign spoke to Russians and not 1 of them went to the FBI. There are 10 instances of obstruction of justice where out of the 10, 4 of them met all 3 areas of the threshold to prosecute anyone other than the president with obstruction and 7 of them met 2 areas of the threshold to prosecute. Historically speaking, in 73 only 19% of the country was for impeaching Nixon and ZERO republicans were on board. The house judiciary committee decided they could not sit by while Nixon was breaking the law so they made the right calculation to defend the constitution and start impeachment hearings. After OPEN hearings, the appetite Shot up to over 60% and I’m the end, it was the Republicans who forced Nixon out. Today without any open hearings, 41% of the public are for impeachment yet here we are, talking about why the hell they haven’t started.
Unfortunately our system of government never thought that an entire party leadership would subvert the very rule of law. Impeachment is ineffective against Trump. He already said he wouldn't leave! What needs to happen - NOW - is for there to be committee meetings in private that lead to arresting Trump, Pence, and McConnell for treason in their refusal to either fight back against or even do anything about Russian cyber attacks on our election and country. Otherwise, we'll see Trump crown himself King, which he has already unofficially done with the help of McConnell, probably a bigger traitor to this country than even Trump - because he will be there as long as Trump is.
Thank you Bill. I completely agree. Our government is not set up constitutionally to oust a raging lunatic like Trump & his dangerous thugs. They are occupying the highest office of power in our country. We are under a dictatorship not a democracy. John Bolton, War Pig, is trying so hard to lead our country into war with Iran/Iraq. The only solution is to arrest the leader and perp walk him out of the oval office.
You’re missing the point, (i agree w/ all you said) To do nothing in the presence of wrong/evil is to endorse the behavior. To stand up to bullies, cheaters,fascism,et al, and expose their true nature is the right thing to do. Shedding light and facts on evil-doers for the public to see is paramount. Televised hearings, empty seats and all,will
Impeachment INQUIRY 1st... this will get the facts out to many more people, there’s no reading required, it will be on TV..and not seen through the lens of propaganda peddlers.
You are making a huge assumption - that Trump would allow these people to go on televised hearings, which he has fought against with every legal trick in the book. Also, by the time this would happen, if it happened, Trump will have already led us to war, taken war powers, and declared any election null and void. Trump and his enablers in the Senate believe they have already won - the coup has already happened, and they are seizing power and taking over. This is why none of them will go against him - as long as they stick together, they have ultimate power. They have dismantled all avenues for removal of Trump from office, and all legal avenues to challenge him. His team of lawyers will tie up legal challenges for years. He will not go quietly - he is a dictator and our government is now officially a paper tiger against him.
People have to understand that McConnell is the biggest traitor - not Trump. He is propping up Trump in a coup that he started, with the Garland nomination being ignored for over a year. That was the first sign of a coup, followed by the stolen election, and it's just gotten exponentially worse since then.
I see only one way out of this for our country. We are going to war with the right - and it will be the last battle of the civil war that has been brewing since Lincoln.
Bill: I absolutely agree with you. You are intuitive and wise. Thank you! Let's just see this for what it is. There is a racist, fascist dictatorship illegally occupying the White House. Not voted in legally. But got in with help from foreign hackers, propaganda, lies, false promises of draining the swamp...When higher education is expensive, it becomes inaccessible to the majority of citizens. We have a dumbed-down population that will believe and follow anything. If it is shoved down their throats enough times.
We have crossed the impeachment threshold- by miles. The tweet regarding Flynn this morning was another potential obstruction.
He is flaunting brazen impeachable acts every day. We must #ImpeachmentNow
