Impeached
Something
good happened this week in Washington D.C., it doesn’t matter what the motivation
for it was. It was good and it doesn’t matter that the impeachment of Donald
Trump was a partisan affair, though it is a stain on our societal-conscience
that it had to be. What matters is that the man was impeached and that is good.
It
was just.
Donald
Trump conspired with a foreign adversary to win the presidency, he has been
lying to the American people about that and many other things since before he took
the oath of office.
He
has committed many crimes since then, including fraud, perjury, abuse of power,
obstruction of justice, obstruction of congress, and lying to the FBI,
submitting false reports to congress, ordering federal agencies to lie to the
American people and to produce false reports, and he is profiting from his
office by receiving emoluments both from the States, and from foreign
governments.
Donald
Trump is corrupt to the core and it is good that he has been called to account.
We
must do more.
Donald
Trump has been protected from being indicted by a Department of Justice policy
that does not have the force if law, He has been protected from being investigated
for his crimes by his Attorney General, and so his impeachment in the house was
the only path forward to hold him accountable.
Despite
the best efforts of the Republicans in the House of Representatives the
impeachment was passed. The majority of the American people want this man
removed from office, but there are no republicans in congress who support it.
They
must be voted out as well. Such feckless people cannot be allowed to have
access to power. They have violated their trust and their oath of office.
Donald
Trump is unworthy of the presidency. The Senate must hold him accountable,
remove him from office and bar him from ever seeking to hold federal office
again.
It
is time for Republicans in the Senate to do the right thing, to stand up for
principle, to stand up as patriots and put the orange menace out.
Tear
the band-aid off and do it.
Strip
Mitch Mc Connell of his office while you are at it, appoint a new majority
leader, appoint someone committed to justice, to America, and to protecting our
constitution.
Reject
the tyrant and his minions, do it now.
Every
day that Donald Trump remains in office he poses a threat to the security of
the United States. Inauguration day 2021 is to far away.
Donald
Trump has sold us out to our adversaries, weekend us on the world stage and he
threatens to set the American people against each other in something like a
civil war.
The
time for action is now.
