At its simplest, Are the Republican Senators IMMORAL or are the people they represent? The Republicans have admitted he is guilty and yet will find him not guilty. This finding is after refusing to listen to people who were first person witnesses and physical evidence after demanding such for months. They are even refusing to accept a vote for Censure. I believe the Senators are a immoral and acting against the will of the people they are supposed to represent. I hope the Republican voters are making a list of who to vote out of office.

RUIN TRUMP’S RATINGS
Don’t watch the State of The Union
Since the Senate won’t do anything whether it be Censure or Impeachment, let the President know that abuse of power and obstruction of justice are at the very least unacceptable to most Americans.
Shame, Shame, Shame!
Where are the Patriots? Senators: Please read Thomas Payne “The Crisis” December 23, 1776. Are you a sunshine patriot?
That is what it is for ….
Impeachment is so that a person who is a danger to the country by putting himself above the law can be stopped. Should we wait until he launches nuclear weapons? Until he appoints Putin Head of the CIA? If you look at his behavior, he CONTINUES to act like Putin’s asset.
One can only hope!
What defense?
No factual documentation
No witnesses
Only haranguing, obfuscation and focus on other unrelated or disproven issues.
I am so tired of following politics…
but then I remember Thomas Paine’s writings about the war for American independence. And we are again in a war for America’s independence from a would be king.
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
Therefore, I will continue to follow these impeachment proceedings and blog to remind the citizenry of what it says and what it meant in context of the time of its writing and what it means for the present and possibly the futute.
Make America Great?
Binge watching my favorite TV series of all time “The Newsroom”. I have to ask, “what are we as a people, our politicians, our government(s) doing to solve the problems outlined in the opening scene of this series?
In my mind the removal Donald J. Trump and the obstructionist Senators, whether by impeachment or election, is the necessary first step to really making America great.
The second step is by being selective in what we “like” in Facebook and what so called News Channels we watch and listen to.
Finally, we must accept that there are “facts” that are verifiable through consensus. I hope this first scene from the HBO series “The Newsroom” also stimulates some thought, discussion (within your own mind at least) and then action.
From the television series “The Newsroom”:
You know why people don’t like liberals? Because they lose.
If liberals are so fuckin’ smart, how come they lose so goddamn always? – Hey– – And with a straight face you’re gonna tell students that America is so star-spangled awesome that we’re the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom.
Japan has freedom.
The U.K.,
France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia.
Belgium has freedom! like 180 of them have freedom.
– All right– – And, yeah, you, sorority girl.
Just in case you accidentally wander into a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them is there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we’re the greatest country in the world.
We’re seventh in literacy, 22nd in science, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports.
We lead the world in only three categories: Number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending where we spend more than the next Now, none of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you nonetheless are without a doubt a member of the worst period generation period ever period.
So when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.
Yosemite? We sure used to be.
We stood up for what was right.
We fought for moral reasons.
We passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons.
We waged wars on poverty, not poor people.
We sacrificed.
We cared about our neighbors.
We put our money where our mouths were and we never beat our chest.
We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world’s greatest artists and the world’s greatest economy.
We reached for the stars, acted like men.
We aspired to intelligence.
We didn’t belittle it.
It didn’t make us feel inferior.
We didn’t identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election and we didn’t– we didn’t scare so easy.
Huh.
Ahem, we were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed.
By great men, men who were revered.
The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one.
America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.
Robert’s Rules and Committee Rules
It would behoove her and this reporter to learn Robert’s Rules on Parliamentary Procedure and the impeachment rules established by Republicans impeaching President Clinton. Republicans also need to stop taking advantage of her ignorance of history and naïveté.
Quid Pro Quo issue made simple
Quid pro quo is not the problem. Diplomats do quid pro quo (one thing given in exchange for another) for the benefit of the country and its citizenry.
What is problematic and impeachable about Trump’s or his minions quid pro quo is that the quid pro quo is for the benefit of the President Donald Trump’s reelection. The quo is not even his to give. As a matter of fact, the military aid he was holding hostage to help his political campaign was voted for by the Congress to be given to Ukraine to benefit the furthering of democracy in that country and it’s fight against the Russian invaders. Therefore, the aid was not his to give or withold.
