January 30, 1933...

...to let trump's actions stand without removal from office will fundamentally alter our Constitution and country...Republicans will have, for all intents and purposes, turned the Presidency into a 'dictatorship' totally above the law...

...Justice Dept. can't charge a sitting President with a crime and any President will now be free to ignore Congressional subpoenas and oversight while thwarting any Congressional investigations into his crimes, rendering the impeachment clause impotent...

...i.e., the President's above the law...can do no wrong...can do whatever he wants...no one can stop him...

...where would we be without Adam Schiff and the Managers making the case for the saving of the Republic?...this is no small moment in history, folks...

...to me, this ranks up there with the American Revolution and Civil War...turning an accountable Presidency into a dictator or monarch will change our country forever...


...let's look back to what I believe is a similar situation and time,


History, this day January 30, 1933
…………..

" Hitler’s emergence as chancellor on January 30, 1933, marked a crucial turning point for Germany and, ultimately, for the world. His plan, embraced by much of the German population, was to do away with politics and make Germany a powerful, unified one-party state. He began immediately, ordering a rapid expansion of the state police, the Gestapo, and putting Hermann Goering in charge of a new security force, composed entirely of Nazis and dedicated to stamping out whatever opposition to his party might arise. From that moment on, Nazi Germany was off and running, and there was little Hindenburg or von Papen—or anyone—could do to stop it."

...let's hope the Republicans get real serious and reflect upon what they're about to do...if they don't, we have a lot of nasty shit in our future to look forward to...

...let's hope they come to their senses...

Could Bernie benefit from Trump's aquittal?

...Bernie's at or near the top of the pack...

...Bernie's name hasn't been dragged through the horrible mud of impeachment...

...the contrast between Bernie and trump is much greater than the contrast between Bernie and pence...

...I think Bernie would truly benefit from an acquittal of trump...


...what do you think?

...could Bernie benefit from trump's acquittal?

Has Trump 'dirtied' the Biden Name?

The New York Times, 1-21-2020

" Trump Tried to Dirty the Biden Name. He May Still Get His Chance. "
………….

" Senate Republicans are threatening to give President Trump what even a foreign government knew was inappropriate: the dirtying of a political rival. What an irony it would be if Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial itself yielded the very result for which he is being impeached: the corruption of America’s election integrity by the baseless denigration of Mr. Trump’s leading rival. "

"Schiff 'has not paid the price' for impeachment, Trump says..."

Washington Post, 1-26-2020

" Schiff ‘has not paid the price’ for impeachment, Trump says in what appears to be veiled threat "
………………..
" “Shifty Adam Schiff is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning. “He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!” "

…………………………………………..


...well, how about that...

...what could that price possibly be?


The Daily Beast, 1-24-2020

" “Head on a pike.” “Take her out.” A rigged Senate impeachment trial with a foregone conclusion where one party isn’t even bothering to pretend they have the least commitment to truth, the rule of law, or the good of the country. "

...if I were a Senator ready to vote to acquit trump, I would be very worried about what I was unleashing in this country...

Keep watching, folks...

...the country you save may be your own...

Washington Examiner, 1-23-2020

"Eleven million people watched first day of impeachment trial"
…………………..

" The total number of 11 million was less than the 13.8 million who watched the first day of the House’s impeachment proceedings against Trump, which led to the two charges, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, that the president is facing now. "

...we're at risk...forget all other bullshit, focus big on this...

...republicans are trying to sweep this under the rug...we can't let that happen...

…stand up now for your country...

Rep. Adam Schiff appreciation thread: A true Statesman!

...I caught part of Rep. Adam Schiff's presentation today...POWERFUL, VERY POWERFUL

...this man is a true Statesman...this man is on the caliber of the Founding Fathers...

...all the Democratic Mangers are great and are doing an excellent job presenting EVIDENCE of Trump's guilt...

...I'll admit I'm no Constitutional expert or even the brightest bulb in the room, but after listening carefully to Rep. Adam Schiff's presentation today I came away worried and scared...

...he made the poignant case that no less than our REPUBLIC IS ON THE LINE if any President could get away with the crap Trump pulled...

...if the Republicans don't find Trump guilty, kiss this Republic goodbye...

...I'm too old to suffer much of the consequences, but if I were you, I'd pay very close attention to this trial...


...it could change everything...

Why would Hillary try to kneecap Bernie now?

" HILLARY ON BERNIE: “He was in Congress for years. He had one senator support him. Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done. He was a career politician. It's all just baloney and I feel so bad that people got sucked into it." "

...seriously, I don't get it...

...Bernie's climbing in the polls?

...she's favoring someone other than Bernie?

...vengeance?

...bad blood?


...you know, division can only help trump...

...why do you think Hillary would try to kneecap Bernie now?

...I really would like to know...
