the street to see this bloated orange ass. I heard his war stories about fighting STD's at Studio 54. Such a brave, useless, worthless "man".

Its message is beyond outstanding!

THAT is who and what we are.

If you see something, say something, writ large.

Something else strikes me about this.

In the Constitution, the executive branch rates Article 2. Listed second. Btw, IMPEACHMENT can indeed be found in the Constitution. Read down to Section 4 in Article 2 and there it is. No way is impeachment unconstitutional.

In the Bill of Rights, the right to free speech must have been viewed as first-rate, since it’s named in the First Amendment to said Constitution. It’s among those ideas that were evidently considered by the Founders to be so important to what was written in the Constitution that they came back with a clarification. Perhaps it was an “oh gee, we need this codified, too” kind of thing?

Interesting take here, too: Constitution sets up government structure, its powers and what it’s allowed to do. The Bill of Rights came in afterwards to detail what the government is NOT allowed or empowered to do. https://www.enotes.com/homework-help/what-difference-between-bill-rights-constitution-346005

Constitution was ratified June 21, 1788. Bill of Rights was ratified December 15, 1791.

On edit - I deleted the earlier post. I was trying to add to it but somehow started a duplicate by mistake.
