T-Rump has been sitting
in the oval office for seventy-two days.
He has been occupying it,
that is, when he is not playing golf at one of his country clubs, or flying
around the country giving speeches, empty, free from policy, full of lies.
There was a ray of hope
this week, a glimmer of hope breaking into the American disaster, it does not
come from the many serious investigations that are ongoing, developing, growing
in scope. It would be great to have hope in those investigations, but one of
them, the investigation run by the House Intelligence Committee has come completely
undone, its chairman Congressman Devin Nunez, has proven through his words and
actions that he is a shill for T-Rump. His committee is no longer even holding
hearings. It ended the week by blocking witnesses from testifying in open
session.
The Senate investigation,
and the FBI investigations seem to be moving forward in a responsible manner,
but, it does not matter what they uncover, even if the uncover hard evidence of
real crimes. It does not matter if the House of Representatives does not have
the political will to file charges of impeachment, and refer those charges to
the Senate for a trial.
There is no way to remove
T-Rump from the White House, and put an end to the fake presidency without those
steps being taken.
T-Rump is breaking the
law every day, regardless of what you think about the way in which he was
elected, whether crimes were committed by the T-Rump campaign, or by T-Rump
himself, crimes that should disqualify him, regardless of what you think about
that, or what the ongoing investigations reveal, T-Rump has been in violation
of the constitution from the moment he took office, he has been in violation of
the emoluments clause, he is taking money, he is enriching himself by taking
money from foreign banks, foreign governments, royalty, and alien powers.
He is in violation of
other federal statutes, such as the anti-nepotism clause, employing members of
his family to work in the government, and none of them are divesting themselves
of their assets.
The T-Rump presidency is
not just fake, it is a criminal enterprise, established through a criminal
conspiracy.
This week a small ray of
hope emerged. T-Rump threatened to “go-after” a group of republicans who did
not support his failed effort to get a health care bill passed into law. T-Rump
threatened to campaign against them in retaliation, through his proxies at Fox
News he threatened to go after the Paul Ryan, the Speaker of the House.
His political ham
handedness is causing fissures to open up between the fake president, and the
rest of the phonies in the Republican Party, and therein lies the hope. He
needs them, if those house republicans begin to turn on, the way he has turned
on them, that could prove to be the end of his agenda. Those investigations
could take on a different aspect, and articles of impeachment might be
considered.
A house divided against itself
cannot stand.
We have to keep the
pressure up. Those political creatures will turn on T-Rump just as soon as they
perceive it to be in their political interests.
That much is certain.
