So he can double-down on his treachery? It's time for impeachment. EW and others have said it's the way to go.

9. Why isn't Congress and the President talking about a response to the attack. We just

absorb damage now? No retaliation? We just get sucker punched and the Pentagon and everybody is fine with it? What's wrong w this picture? Our retaliation so far is for trump to allow russians to open factories (aluminum) in America, but auto plants close down. Trump also defends us by making a collegial call to putin and talks about the weather, and no collusion. In private, for an hour and a half. That's gotta end.
Dereliction of Duty and Misfeasance of Office. We have a solid claim. On that ground alone. The standard for getting thrown out of office isnt being convicted of committing a crime, it's "the mere appearance of impropriety."
We get attacked and all this bunch of brigands can do is natter away about kneeling for the anthem? How are we supposed to make sure this never happens again? How are we going to really boot russia in the ass for hurting our way of life? Cheated every one of us.
It's like Roosevelt reacting to Pearl Harbor....like...".Sigh, yawn. Oh well. ,What's for breakfast, do we have the Sunday Paper?" sort of attitude imho.
Trumps dangerous. This week is the end of the road for a lot of the nonsense. Choose your futures well gop. You folks can't sustain this blasphemy and we aren't going to let you. We haven't come this far to roll over to this bunch. The idea that the right coddles themselves with the old 'Liberals are soft or forever forgiving, or weak,' mantra is wrong. WRONG. And just bc they allow people to tell them different, Isnt OUR PROBLEM anymore. There's no negotiation if they are breaking the law to stonewall congress or protect the president. Arrest Barr and if there's a dust up. We surround the Capital and call a moratorium on this group of 5th columnists and collaobrators. What do they think the end game is? Seriously? A president for life, like XI? Every inch we give them after Monday is battleground lost. 4 Dead in O-hi-o. Never again.
No more messing around. If we have to surround them and lock arms Supermajority Style, then we can do that.
Google 'Democrats in American Politics Who served on the military". It's time we call the gop bluff.
I think Mr Nadler and everyone else has already got the plan. Mrs Spiers vocalized it. I support her and would walk to Wash DC to prove it. If Barr refuses, He should be arrested. What's he going to do? Have his people start shooting? Federal agents are going to gun down other policemen doing their job? That's what they want us to assume will happen. let's then arrest Manuchin, and Jared and the whole gang. Contempt of Congress. And we can give them all 25 million dollar bail and let's all start preparing.
RELAX gop, unlike some Americans, you'll survive the arrest, and get your day in court. No lead slinging necessary. If there's nothing to hide and you believe in your convictions, surrender peacably and let's let 12 jurors hear the story and decide. The evidence from the unredacted report is over the top damning already. Just making it worse at this point. Think of your kids mr barr and your legacy.
It's time to restore our Democracy. The 'president' chatted on the phone for an hour and a half like a school girl. The gop need to decide if they are for or against America tomorrow, bc come Monday, there may be some surprises. Time will tell.
'Nobody gets out of here, without singing the Blues' (Adventures in babysitting) I'm looking at you gop.

8. This Is What Normalizes Trump's Behavior...
Sat May 4, 2019, 09:03 PM

Saying one is worried he won't leave office if he loses - that one expects this to happen - just gives Trump the permission to actually do this.

In his mind he's telling himself - if they expect me to do this - I'll just do it.

That's how we've been normalizing his behavior since he won.

We're doing it again.
