Why impeachment is effective



The Constitution is not very specific when it comes to impeachment, but it does say explicitly that the president can be impeached for:
"Adhering to Enemies and giving them Aid and Comfort."
I don't believe a goddamn thing he says, and I do not respect his research and experience. I am pretty sure there is none to speak of. He is shooting from the hip and showing absolutely no awareness that he is not only putting this country and its citizens in imminent and long-lasting danger.
He is also walking up to the gallows and slipping the noose around his own neck.
He has chosen to defend Russia and Putin above his own intelligence community. He has ignored the shitstorm of protest around him and continued to nurture a relationship with Putin.
This while Putin is building up an attack force in Ukraine that threatens to wage war against Eastern European countries, such as Poland.
Poland is a friend, an ally and a member of NATO. If they are attacked, the US has no choice. We are committed to defend any NATO country. If Putin says "go," we are at war.
The U.S. military has - at great expense - moved thousands of troops and millions of dollars in weapons and support materials into Poland to protect against this threatened attack.
Don't forget that Putin's troops are in Ukraine because after years of frustration with the wealth and success of Ukraine, the Russian president sent tanks and soldiers under a banner of "humanitarian aid" and occupied the area.
He is hot from the battle right now. He doesn't need to warm up.
And he has been running massive military exercises in the area for months. He is ready.
This is the man our president is protecting, adhering to and giving aid and comfort in the form of complimentary talk and choosing Putin over the CIA, FBI, NSA and over a dozen other American intelligence gathering organizations.
The thing is, President Trump has zero credibility. Even if he changes his talk and claims to get "tough on Russia," there is no reason to put any stock in his words.
You know what cops say most crime victims say?
"I couldn't believe it was happening."
Let us not choose that for our defense when this gets much worse and we are really suffering.
Get him out.
Lock him up.

Hitler tried HARD to kill what he saw as threats to his people. How DID that work out for them?
Germany (and lots of Western Asia) experienced permanent changes as a result of 20th century wars. We who look back are still assessing the effects.

Maybe I'll Just Stay In

The time is tight to pick up the plane. This weekend has seen me using public transportation and participating in our democracy. I have lounged and stared at entertainment shows. I have watched the best golfers in the world compete. I have cleaned and worked in the garden. I have spent time with my godson - sad to say a rare event lately. I have been refusing all public visits and have withdrawn and been quite a hermit. Enough with that. Though it may have been the perfect formula. Who knows what I may have fucked up if I went outside?
