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.

I see my task is to deal with a few moments. One just came and I wasn't ready. A friend posted an LOL photo of a woman busted at the Tijuana border trying to get through in a suitcase.

Were I ready, I could produce good, clean writing about pain, and loss and justice and history and generosity and love that would make strong men cry and this chick think a bit more before laughing at someone else's suffering.

Non-Change

Non-Change

"Our attachment to non-change is what causes our suffering."

Gael Chiarella
Yoga Meditation Collection

Random notes:

"...or pain that your body has held. Notice places of discomfort or pain that your emotions have held. Nothing is too large. Nothing is too small."

As we come into conscious relationship with pain, we see a divided path. One says: 'Let me eliminate you, and move as far away as I can."

And the other, says 'What are you sharing with me?' 'What do you have to say?'

For pain is always a suggestion for change. And the change itself may be painful. Our attachment to non-change is what causes our suffering.

In yoga we see a vision of two birds sitting on a golden limb. One is the observer. The other the observed. The observer sits in perfect peace. The other runs back and forth attached to this and that.

We know open ourselves to an acknowledgement of the observer part of each and every psyche. Of each and every thought. And as you bring your awareness...

Well it goes on and on from there. This is a small part of a meditation track I just heard and wanted to share.

Namaste


Oh by the way, she sells this stuff. You can get it from the library, too.
