“This is maybe the most grotesque public display of corruption and contempt for the Constitution in modern presidential history. The fact that he wants to take this jet for himself for his personal use after his presidency is even more offensive, and every Republican official and candidate in Georgia has a duty to answer on the record whether they stand by the Constitution or are blindly loyal to President Trump.”

— Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA), quoted by the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

1. Impeachment is necessary. MAKE the GOP own this.

2. Not just modern history

but all of history. Even when there were gruesome ways of handling corrupt despots.

3. I agree, with one exception...he could have left the word "modern" out. Substitute "U.S." and it's perfect.

4. Impeachment

Is the only answer for this level of constitutional crisis. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if much worse happens to him and his entire administration. Everyone needs to remember that the GOP is directly responsible for failing to uphold the constitution and the rule of law.

7. The worst is

that on a scale of 1 to a Million, This one's scale of corruption is a million times worse than anything in our history......
It is LITERALLY everything and everywhere....and it is an all out assault from every direction at the same time.....
Pillaging and plundering everything the Republican's touch..............

If we could stop them in their tracks, it would still take decades to undo the carnage they are creating of our beloved America.....
AND you have to know that we are not seeing everything they are doing from the shadows......
