Impeaching Trump: Make America Sane Again

[SeattleUte]

But more to the point, since Warren's single payor plan came out her poll numbers have sunk, Trump has increased in swing states, and the impeachment proceedings have lost support in the polls. She is not helping the anti-Trump movement.

Because I'm citing and linking Vanity Fair and the New York Times? Looks like you like many others have found a new religion. Not thinking or reading becomes a lifelong habit.

Of all the shit that came out over these past weeks that is what you're focused on?

Duh. Why would he bring up all the stuff that would make him look bad? He's got a smug retort in his back pocket to uphold!

New Mexican Disaster is a perfect moniker for you! Losers love socialism. Never mind 100 million murdered by socialists in the 20th century.

Yeah, all socialism is the same. Good analysis. Tyranny is the common theme with murderous governments, but you have seized on this talking point and are squeezing it for all it is worth.

So many Europeans are being killed by socialized healthcare. Our library systems have done untold damage to our country.

How many innocents could have been spared had we not had this damned network of publicly funded fire stations?

Impeaching Trump: Make America Sane Again

Not sure where to put this but this was a good read.

While doing some googling of Mobsters after watching “The Irishman”, I came across this article from Jack Goldsmith. A seasoned lawyer who worked for the Justice Department for over 15 years which included the legality of FISA.

But the bigger nugget is who he is connected too. He happened to be the stepson of “Chuckie O’Brien”. Who was the adopted son to Jimmy Hoffa.

It is crazy to think a person 1-degree from connections to the Mob ended up doing what he did for the U.S. Government.

This article goes into depth about his Stepfather but also how the government has run amok and continued to illegally surveil its citizens under stretching the need for NSA..

And additional little nugget is how both James Comey and Robert Mueller threatened resignation at one point over the use of surveillance.

Quote:

My decision against parts of the program provoked a now-famous constitutional clash between the Justice Department and the White House—a clash that played out in part at the foot of then–Attorney General John Ashcroft’s bed in the intensive-care unit at George Washington University Hospital. President Bush initially decided to continue Stellarwind despite the Justice Department’s objections. But in the face of threatened resignations by then–Deputy Attorney General James Comey and then–FBI Director Robert Mueller, among others (myself included), he changed his mind and accepted the department’s proposed narrowing of the program.

Good read. And if you have not see The Irishman. Fantastic movie!!

Cute how following the court ruling that rejected the administration's claim that the president and everyone who ever worked for him has absolute immunity from ever being called to testify before Congress, that Alan Dershowitz argued on Fox the other night that US presidents are far more powerful than kings and that the founders meant for it to be like that. That was in response to the judge stating that the president is not a king. So I guess Dershowitz is actually making the argument that the colonists must have fought King George because they wanted an even more powerful chief executive, and the 18th century monarchs they were familiar with weren't powerful enough. As an educated man he can't possibly believe that garbage. So why is he lying and what does he think he's getting from it?

The same can be said about the recent moronic essay/speech from our attorney general about presidential power that actually argues that the colonists didn't really have a beef with King George. it was the British parliament they had a problem with. The slight problem there being that the Declaration of Independence attacks King G for dozens of paragraphs with no mentions of parliament. Even I have a hard time believing the Fox News audience is THAT dumb. But Dershowitz and Barr seem to think they are. We can all have policy disagreements, but the fact that these prominent educated individuals are brazenly arguing on national TV for something that is so easily rejected by basic history is troubling.

And going along with that is the recent moronic essay from our attorney general arguing that the colonists didn't really have a beef with King George. it was the British parliament they had a problem with.

Dershowitz is a creep. His association with Epstein is icky. Look up his op ed on statutory rape. He’s beholden to Trump for some reason. He also seems to make his living appearing in conversations print and televised media.

Barr is in many ways worse than Trump. He should be an adult. His dishonesty is craven and dangerous to the republic. I guess that’s what to expect of the guy who worked to cover up IranContra.

Yes, association with Epstein is icky.

Hey, the report is out... https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...nt-report.html

Something tells me that Nancy is not going to get that bipartisan support she said she needed to have to be for impeachment.

Where's the #FakeNews version of this report?

Imagine if Obama had been found to be asking favors of foreign leaders to go after his political rival. Would the authors of the linked report have been similarly defensive of his actions and motivations?

While what Trump did was unquestionably inappropriate from the the perspective of any neutral observer, I'd allow that reasonable minds may differ on the question of whether he should be removed from office. But a recent essay from David French (a conservative writer for The National Review with no love for the Dems) has me leaning toward removal (censure is the minimum penalty that should be imposed). One passage:

No one should think there is any magic policy wand that will resolve America’s strategic challenges in Eastern Europe and restrain Russian action to our liking. Every course of action has its perils, but that’s exactly why we need a Commander-in-Chief who is intellectually engaged, strategic in this thinking, and motivated by the American national interest.

Trump, by contrast, is ignorant, impulsive, vulnerable to conspiracy theories, and motivated by his own personal grievances and grudges. Crucially, he indulges these vices even when the stakes are very high. He was not holding up the opening of, say, a Consulate in Costa Rico for corrupt personal reasons. He was holding up the provision of weapons to an ally locked in a critical conflict with one of our primary geopolitical foes – a foe that we now know is growing in military power.

I skimmed through this. Poor Donald. Poor, poor Donald. Those dastardly Democrats are mean!
