Impeachment without conviction and removal has become meaningless. He probably would welcome impeachment at this point because it fits his beleaguered and persecuted narrative. Yes, he should be impeached. And it is not enough.
We need at least a majority in both the House and the Senate. With a majority in the Senate we can modify the rules so that Senators can vote by secret ballot without fear of reprisal. Same reason we use Secret ballots in our elections. Sure, Senators SHOULD be brave enough to publicly state their votes, but they have proven they are not that brave.
Yes, but it is also HOW we win, by providing an actual, pragmatic plan to remove Trump, but if we want to win we also have to present plans for legislation etc... for what we can do once we also have the white house. Dangle it all out there so people can see what they are voting for, not just what they are voting against.
For the impeachment itself, we should prepare that openly, in advance, so people can see ALL the reasons to remove Trump. "Flood the zone" with overwhelming number of reasons to remove Trump from office with overwhelming evidence. Once we win the 2026 elections, the removal should be quick and decisive with popular opinion already on our side, basically a 'mandate'.
Wow, that is the best you can do? Assume that any thought opposed by you must have come from a communist country? I love democracy, unlike Trump who famously tried to overthrow a free and fair election, and then when he did get elected again, immediately pardoned all the vioilent insurrectionists, giving them 'Aid and Comfort'.
Forget impeachment. Remove him by any means necessary. Arrest his entire cabinet for treason and high crimes, and deport the lot of them to a war zone.
Exactly. Everybody throws that word around…There’s a LOT more to it. The thug has BEEN impeached.. he was not Convicted…and here we are.
Same thing goes for the 25th Ammendment. Yes. It should happen…BUT..Folks need to understand what it takes to make that happen. Both of these procedures require a Functioning Bipartisan Congress…A willing Cabinet… Trump's “own people” in the Cabinet and Congress would have to be on board. I'm sure there is stuff I'm accidentally leaving out, ut that's the general gist of it.
Nixon - never happened, because it was obvious from the Republicans that it WOULD happen.
Clinton - lied under oath in a civil case that failed because even if every accusation was true, it was still not against the law (per the judge), about an extramarital affair, on the basis of the definition of 'sex'. Not exactly a constitutional issue or relating in any substantial way to the governance of the nation, bribery, insurrection etc... Not convicted in the senate.
Trump (1st) - Brought a narrow charge about abuse of power in foreign affairs with very strong evidence. Republicans claimed at the very beginning of 2020 that "we should let the people decide" in an election 11 months away.
Trump (2nd) - Brought a narrow charge focused on his efforts to violently overthrow the fair election of Biden (People decided). Since the major aspect of the crime happened on Jan 6, (16 days before Biden took office) and the trial was held after Trump was no longer in office, so that all that would be decided was his inability to hold office again, and as later decided by SCOTUS, his ability to be charged for crimes committed during his time in office, the Republicans claimed the impeachment was improper because it was 'too late', he was already out of office, and he could be charged with the crimes in court...
So, we have learned that Republican politicians are afraid of Trump, and that they will evade taking responsibility to publicly remove Trump, finding any bogus argument they can. So this time we Flood the Zone. Bury them in Trump's massive widespread systematic violations of his oath, his endless crimes and bribery etc... and negate all their excuses. If we are prepared ahead of time, we can impeach right away, close to two years before the next election, while still in office. Per the constitution Trump can not be elected President again. It will be obvious his crimes go far beyond some technicality, and we will ensure each senator can vote without fear of reprisal, by using secret ballots, just like in our elections.
Yes!! You're right. I agree with all of that. I remember, Was alive for all of it. We have our work cut out for us…but yes.. It needs to happen and I hope you are right. That strategy could work! 👍👍👍👍🙏
Like impeachment/conviction/removal, action under the 25th Amendment depends on Congress. Congress must decide whether the president is incapacitated by a two-thirds vote. With its current makeup, that scenario is hard to envision. And even if he were removed, the vice president then becomes Acting President. I fear we have a better chance of aliens coming to save us all than we do relying on the 25th Amendment, unfortunately. (winking emoji)
How does anyone still believe J6 was legitimate when 275+ feds were there pulling off the most corrupt entrapment operation in the history of the country? They removed barricades, opened doors, and led people up the staircases. 🤣
This is a worn thin narrative that was never going to hold water. There was one shot your reps had, and they refused to take it, because “they're ALL in a big club and YOU AIN'T IN IT”
Absolutely impeach. But Congress is complicit, the Supreme Court is complicit, the wackos in the administration are complicit. They have the ICE army. Who is left? The Fantastic Four?
The country is back, not gone. Trump is showing every single day how inept Democrats are. Cleaning up crime and historic peace agreements, only a few among many accomplishments and he’s not even through year one.
You'll lose the vote, AND you'll still be here, still being sucked dry of your resources. You actually have no say at present, and there is only one logical solution beyond open revolution which would get VERY UGLY.
To take the power they seek and use it against them. They seek totalitarian control, do they not? Mind, that this is a solution fir making much shorter work of things than it otherwise would be. My blueprint is to have the legalities and clarity thereof, handled inside of 10 years, and a majority of major infrastructure upgrades well underway. But in order to make short work of it, will require a document of my design, that localized all military units instead of having them abroad. Trim down to a small number of bases off-shore and rein in certain three letter agencies but putting THEM under the type of scrutiny the "overlords" have otherwise designed to monitor and control "the people".
It would appear to me that reading comprehension on your part, involves a faulty filter. You should clarify when covering subject matter, if you're addressing something Trump said or something I said.
You realize everything you’re saying is what we said about your side when they were in office. Trump isn’t going anywhere, just like Biden didn’t. If your side manages to somehow remove him from office, Vance is next and he’s even better than Trump. You win with policies that make the vast majority’s lives better, not with violent rhetoric, actual violence, and terrible policies that the majority dislike. It’s not that hard but you folks have no good ideas and are lost in your extreme left mass formation that doesn’t appeal to the majority. 👍🏻
Thank you for all you do, David! I enjoy listening to your voice of reason and your factual reporting- it echoes my thoughts I’m sometimes unable to put into words as eloquently and articulately as you do! Thank you! 🙏🏻 💕 🇺🇸
I hear this from the neighbors: Trump and the Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court and the republican puppets in Congress aim to fully tear down the existing structure of the United States. They will subdue any resistance with the military while they rebuild the country following the Christian Nationalist blueprint. This has been the plan all along. Trump and his loyalists are in it for power. The true Christian Nationalists are in it for eventual ultimate control.
YOU are Spot ON!! This is NO joke and people NEED to take ALL of this SERIOUSLY!!!
IF they don't, they will be crying for the rest of their lives! Mark My Words. These people ARE terrorists and this is how they operate in terrorist countries. I'VE seen this coming for a decade when Trump stuck his nose into politics. THIS is like another Crusade! When this is over, the Heritage Foundation being a terrorist org., MUST be dismantled and people PROSECUTED!!!! I'm SERIOUS!!! The same with those on in the Federalist Society! THEY plotted too!!! THIS place needs a SWEEPING CLEANING OUT with a TON of PROSECUTIONS lined up. I am NOT kidding or making this up. THIS is more dangerous that most Americans realize. And when we accomplish that, we go after the DIRTY 1/2 DOZEN siting their worthless asses in SCOTUS! THEN we pick 6 more to take their places with TERM LIMITS! "Term Limits for Everyone!!"
I forgot to mention that my neighbors fly Trump's Never Surrender flag above the U.S. flag. It is important to acknowledge that many seemingly normal Americans want this. Why? America doesn't work for them any more. They thought they would be better off than their parents and their children would be better off than them.
I agree with your points, Laura. One thing that is a mystery to me, observing from outside the Divided States of America, is why the Christian Nationalists are not considered a terrorist organisation. Is this not more serious than the free speech issue? Or at least AS serious as the violation of your First Amendment rights?
Just an additional side note here: They will be re-writing your Constitution for sure.
I'm aware of far-right, white supremacist, CN pushing for a new Constitutional Convention with the aim of bending/changing the Constitution to their warped philosophy and misinterpretation of scripture. We will be far worse as a country than people can even imagine - especially women, minorities, and anyone who is not of the correct religious sect. The government has long been reluctant to label religious cults terrorists unless they espoused fire bombing, assassinations, or similar, which is what NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) has called for with their Seven Mountain Mandate. But, as they say, "Too late. The fox is in the henhouse."
WoW! I was not aware of the NAR or their Seven Mountain Mandate, Laura. I also didn't know that the CN actually has a plan to re-write the Constitution. It just seemed to me to be a logical progression of what I had learned about them. Thank you for this additional information, very depressing though it may be.
As for how women would be treated, wasn't there a public statement about even taking the VOTE away from women? That on top of the other brutalities that women are already experiencing in your country? Despicable (to understate the matter).
You haven't been keeping up. There was indeed a proposal to take the vote away from women. I never said it was in the damned Project 2025. Talk about GULLIBLE!
You don’t understand what a Constitutional Convention is. It’s the second means by which amendments can be proposed. Any proposed amendments must be ratified by 3/4 of the states. It’s called democracy. 🤦🏻♀️
It sounds like you have a lot to learn about what a democracy actually is. In point of fact, your country has never had one. If my assumption as to which country you live in is incorrect, I apologise.
Everything still in place now, partially or fully, wb destroyed & replaced w their facist beliefs (i.e., Project 2025). This will inspire & embolden others like-minded around the globe (Bannon, Farage (sp), Orbahn & that group have been busy growing it overseas.)It could well ultimately destroy the world! But I dont think they're looking that far ahead! The part I don't get is how businesses will thrive without the front line workers & the customers. I guess in their minds AI will take care of that somehow...but since AI is NOT YET READY FOR PRIME TIME (imo) I am not seeing it. Or are they considering how all the data ctrs, coupled w no EPA standards or fed regs will SPEED UP the destruction of the planet so it will much more swiftly become NOT SUSTAINABLE FOR ANY LIVING BEINGS. --So I see their immense greed wiping out a great deal. What I don't see is any survivors in such a vastly degraded world.-- So WHO wb the 'winners' then??????? Hmmmm?
The cockroaches, ants, some spiders, and the alligators and crocodiles will likely survive. Maybe the dust mites. Possibly even some MAGATs will survive if they can last in their underground bunkers or on Mars for a few millenia, but they will be highly inbred.
Apologies. My dumbphone wouldn't accept your pseudonym as real and changed it to "Sue". No offence intended. (And it just tried to change my correct spelling to American but fortunately I caught that potential error in time.) Again my apologies about not getting your fake name right.
He has also taken bribes. Lots and lots and lots of bribes. In fact, he is so freaking blatant about it, that there will be "sponsor bricks" in the new ballroom. Bribery is in black letter text in the Constitution as an impeachable offence.
We know obama was because he was the epitome of everything your president wasn't black and smart. You literally have a pedophile running the country in which my child can speak more clearly than him. I know you like trumo because he speaks the same language as you trailer park trick. You and trump speak the language of dumb. Bite one trailer park b*tch
No, Obama was one of the most divisive and inept presidents ever to occupy the Whitehouse. Biden was even worse, and an actual pedo. He showered with his daughter and sniffed children—inappropriately touched them and talked about kids rubbing his leg hairs at the pool. Creepy dude. I don’t live in a trailer park, and I love that Trump is doing everything he said he would do. Your side of the aisle has no clue about how to successfully run a country. All you’re good for is whining and calling strangers names on the internet. 3 1/2 more years, buddy. Better get a therapist. Your TDS is raging.
I can't wait to see when it's YOU he comes after. He has told you many times, he DOES NOT care about you but you think, oh he's just being trump or he's just kidding it was a joke.
Ahem. Yes, his assault on the Constitution's First Amendment alone is enough for an impeachment to follow through. But, don't I remember him NOT putting his hand on the bible or raising it while taking THE OATH to that Constitution ? But one must ask how has he been able to get this far. It truely is unbelievable that with the long, long list of actual overt, blatant and convicted crimes, social faux pauxs, nuzzling up with the likes of vlad & BB the baby killers, not to mention the newly posted picts fondling minors that he is still violating 1600 Pennsyvania Ave !!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE, THIS GOVERNMENT, THIS NATION AND PEOPLE ! ? We are entrenched in an historic moralistic, virtuistic, decency and humanistic low point as a nation, government and people ! As personified by our questionably elected,(election tampering and interference ?) MISTAKE OF A POTUS !!!!
Good luck even bringing the bastered before an impeachment hearing. America has better chance he chokes on a cheeseburger. Sadly, change has to come from the ballot box.
Is it really a felony if it was a politically motivated prosecution designed to take out a political opponent by any means necessary, including a porn star who was paid to make false allegations against Trump and later lost her defamation suit against him and was ordered to pay him $300,000 for legal fees? Not to mention the unconditional discharge of the felony. You see, those of us who support Trump could see through the underhanded tactics of the left. I mean, they tried to kill him twice when these types of things, including the fake dossier, failed to work. You have 3 ½ more years Faye, so buckle up.
I 💯 love everything President Trump is doing! I fully own the restoration of this country to its founding principles! I do not subscribe to Democrat transformation of the United States into a socialist hell hole, where baby murder is celebrated, where God is denied and mocked,
women are oppressed by men in dresses, where rule of law is not enforced and criminals and illegal aliens are allowed to pillage law abiding citizens, where the government taxes us into oblivion, where men in drag run a defective and weak military, or where freedom of speech is only for the left and people on the right get shot in the neck for having a different opinion. Go live in a third world country somewhere if you don’t like it here. More and more centrists are coming over to the right because your side has gone off the rails with your mass formation psychosis. You’re pit bulls for the billionaire totalitarians on the left, doing their dirty work by attacking Trump and his supporters and half the time you can’t even give an facts for why—just emotional hate speech that orange man bad! Sorry, but we’re not handing the country over to you. You had your turn with Obama and Biden and failed miserably. We want effective leaders who improve our country—Democrats fail every time because they are a party of inept and incompetent people.
I wholly agree with your justification for impeachment based on the First Amendment, but the man has done SO MANY unrelated impeachable things, it is ridiculous it has gotten to this point at all.
Hmm, let’s see. There are the First Amendment violations like threatening and withdrawing funding from universities. We can add to that his usurping Congressional authority and taking away funds that Congress has appropriated. Not only that, he has used his position and authority to threaten the media and law firms.
He has grossly profited during this term, with his cryptocurrency, bitcoin and other financial moves, adding $3 billion to his net worth this year.
Violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and abusing the reach of the military and federal law enforcement.
I could go on all day about grabbing back scientific research funds, accepting gifts from foreign governments and just being a nepotistic criminal, but you should get the gist.
If Bill Clinton could be impeached for obstruction and perjury over Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, then your boy’s laundry list could support a multitude of articles of impeachment.
Harvard Money: I’m fully behind the president on removing funding for a wealthy university for allowing discrimination against Jewish students and for allowing DEI policies instead of fairness to all students based on merit and achievement. I don’t consent to my hard-earned tax dollars funding the social justice causes of the left at their wealthy university. Legally, the issue is still being worked out as Harvard is having to reach an agreement with the government to address its antisemitism activities and unfair DEI policies. They should never have been given funding when they were participating in these kinds of activities, but our checks and balances are so full of corrupt people they are not functioning as they should.
Cryptocurrency: Trump’s cryptocurrency isn’t illegal. Just like presidents profiting off of writing books or doing lecture tours isn’t illegal. Cry me a river. However, what IS illegal is when Biden and his whole family profited during his terms. He and his family receive 20 million + from China, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan, and Russia via shell companies. Hunter and James received 5 million from a CCP linked associate working for the CEFC demanding 10 million dollars and stating on the phone call that his father was sitting in the room. Then a CEFC affiliate, Northern Internation Capital, sent 5 million to a Hunter Biden joint venture called Hudson West III. Hudson West then sent $400,000 to a venture owned by Hunter Biden. Then Hunter wired $100,000 to his uncle and his uncle’s wife’s company. His wife, Sara Biden, then withdrew $50,000 from that account and deposited into her personal bank account. Then she transferred $40,000 to Joe Biden in a check and put loan repayment in the memo. As you said, I could go on and on with all of the grifting the Bidens did while in office. So spare me.
Posse Comitatius Act: The courts have either A) found no violation or B) are still pending findings. As Commander-in-Chief, he has every right to utilize our forces to enforce law and protect federal assets in anarchist cities like Portland and Chicago. The regular people in those cities who aren’t Democrat anarchist crazies are happy for the help and probably will come over to the Republican fold in the next election. Most people don’t like criminals running their cities. In the next 3 ½ years, as Trump shows people how things SHOULD be run and improves the lives of the average person, the left will lose more and more supporters. Especially if you keep shooting innocent people in the necks and try to assassinate presidents. Weird, huh?
Scientific research: That should be privately funded. Most of us don’t work hard every day for some lunatic leftist scientist to find out if monkeys in the Amazon are gay. Again, weird that we would feel that way right? After the lies of the Covid years, I am even more vehemently against blank check funding for scientists who lie to us and whose motivation is selling more pharma and profiting off people rather than actually helping them. Accepting gifts from foreign governments:
2009King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (to Obama family)Necklace (33 pearls); ruby and diamond jewelry set (earrings, necklace, ring, bracelet)$14,200 (necklace); $132,000 ,2009 King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (to daughters Malia and Sasha)Gold bracelet with diamonds and emeralds; pearl necklace$7,275 total, 2011Various (total to Obama family)Assorted items including artwork, books, and clothing$243,971 total; White gold jewelry set (earrings, ring, necklace) with yellow sapphires and diamonds$71,468, 2013Vladimir Putin (Russia, to Obama family)Porcelain espresso/tea cup sets; porcelain plates depicting Russian cities$1,500, 2014King of MalaysiaSteel-bladed sword with gold/silver sheath and gemstones; coins, plate, photo$8,000+, 2014Tony Abbott (Australia)9.5' surfboard; black leather boots (part of $1.5M total haul), 2014Mohammed bin Naif (Saudi Arabia, to family)Sheer white robe; orange floor-length cape; paisley robe$39,915, 2014Abdelmalek Sellal (Algeria)Ceremonial dagger with silver and coral stones$885, 2014Jose Mujica (Uruguay)Paintings; cable-knit wool shawl; canvas print of men with swords, 2015Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif (Saudi Arabia)Sword with mother-of-pearl hilt and ruby-encrusted sheath$87,900, 2015King Abdullah (Saudi Arabia, to daughters)Diamond and emerald jewelry set (earrings, necklace, ring, brooch, watch)$80,000, 2015King Abdullah (Saudi Arabia, to Obama)Men's watch$18,000+, 2015Xi Jinping (China)Two computer tablets, 2016Emir of Qatar (to Obamas)Two gold-plated mechanical bird clocks (9" chiffchaffs that tweet and flap)$110,000 each ($220,000 total),2016Raul Castro (Cuba, to Obama)Wooden bust of Abraham Lincoln; 205 cigars; rum bottle; two books, 2016Raul Castro (Cuba, to Michelle Obama and family)White linen dresses and other items$2,355, 2016Mohammed VI (Morocco, to Michelle Obama)Gold-plated brooch with diamonds/rubies; three-tier silver diamond earrings; gold teardrop earrings with diamonds/emeralds$100.
Gifts are common for EVERY president and after they leave office are often transferred to the National Archives. He’s not a nepotistic criminal.
Bill Clinton: Stuck a cigar in a young intern’s vagina in the Oval Office while married and while he was supposed to be doing the people’s business, not his own adulterous business. He indeed obstructed and there was credible evidence, including the infamous blue dress, to show that he did what he was accused of. That is not the case with Trump. They were all paid accusations and discredited. The Democrats were pulling out all the stops to get their political rival out of contention. That is different than what Bill did.
You don’t have to discuss it with me any further. I am used to lefties ducking and running when confronted with the truth. It doesn’t phase me anymore. Stay ignorant and stay as a lap dog for the totalitarian billionaires on the left who are manipulating you into voting against your own self-interests. As Trump continues to show the American people how his policies are working and making THEIR lives better, they will continue to walk away from your dying and disastrous party in droves.
😄 I’m not a leftie. I’ve probably voted for more Republicans than you have, but since it wasn’t Trump or his cohort, I guess that would make me a RINO. Keep enjoying your “better life.” Come back in 3 1/2 years and tell me how you feel then.
You’re lying to yourself then Faye. If you support what the left has been doing to this country, you’re a leftist. You don’t have to like Trump’s personality. I don’t love it at times, either. However, faced with Harris or Trump, only one has superior policies and has followed through on them resulting in a better life for all Americans. Harris would’ve been disastrous for this nation and a puppet for the cabal running the left. I’m not going to sacrifice my family at the altar of Trump hate. Sorry, not happening. I can’t wait to vote for Vance. He will be the whole package.
Sure. Tell me all about myself, you know me so well. I will agree that Harris is/was worthless, but that doesn’t change the fact that Trump is, too. You can have it both ways, you know. Have a day.
I wholeheartedly agree, although I fear our Democrats at the top of leadership are impotent at best in taking action to stop this regime from taking hold of our democracy
Not only the First Amendment but also the Emoluments clause, the attempted and sometimes successful violations of habeas corpus and the statutes prohibiting the use of the military domestically ( the Posse Comitatus Act? Me not sure). These are what I could think of off the top of my head, but there are more instances.
For the love of God. There's a petition sitting on the Hill for impeachment. I signed it . Republicans will not do it; I don't know what the Democrats problem is,or they can't. I don't know.
As a matter of fact, I just now signed this one. It's about mail in voting, that Trump wants to PREVENT! Please sign this, everyone. : ) Then share it!
Trump sees himself as a Founding Father, but by attacking the First Amendment he acts as a Founding Demolisher. The founders built safeguards against tyrants; he’s trying to become the very one they sought to stop.
Trump wanted to be a Founding Father. History will remember him as #DemolitionDad.
A real father builds a home. Trump tears down a nation. #DemolitionDad
The Founders wrote the First Amendment to protect freedom. Trump wants to rip it apart. #DemolitionDad
You don’t defend liberty by silencing voices. That’s not leadership, that’s #DemolitionDad.
From “Father of a Nation” to “Dad of Destruction.” #DemolitionDad
Impeachment without conviction and removal has become meaningless. He probably would welcome impeachment at this point because it fits his beleaguered and persecuted narrative. Yes, he should be impeached. And it is not enough.

Why don't you nimrods, go back to cuba?
Wow, that is the best you can do? Assume that any thought opposed by you must have come from a communist country? I love democracy, unlike Trump who famously tried to overthrow a free and fair election, and then when he did get elected again, immediately pardoned all the vioilent insurrectionists, giving them 'Aid and Comfort'.
Why don't you nimrods, go back to cuba?
Forget impeachment. Remove him by any means necessary. Arrest his entire cabinet for treason and high crimes, and deport the lot of them to a war zone.
Bring it Debra! Educate yourself.You will look less silly.
Thank you!
Great, just what we need is more secrecy.In our government. After the biden fiasco I think it would be nice if we had less secrecy in government
Are you saying we should no longer have secret ballots in our elections?
Why? Are you saying you WANT to persecute people who do not vote the way you want them to?
Exactly. Everybody throws that word around…There’s a LOT more to it. The thug has BEEN impeached.. he was not Convicted…and here we are.
Same thing goes for the 25th Ammendment. Yes. It should happen…BUT..Folks need to understand what it takes to make that happen. Both of these procedures require a Functioning Bipartisan Congress…A willing Cabinet… Trump's “own people” in the Cabinet and Congress would have to be on board. I'm sure there is stuff I'm accidentally leaving out, ut that's the general gist of it.
Impeachments in 'modern' memory:
Nixon - never happened, because it was obvious from the Republicans that it WOULD happen.
Clinton - lied under oath in a civil case that failed because even if every accusation was true, it was still not against the law (per the judge), about an extramarital affair, on the basis of the definition of 'sex'. Not exactly a constitutional issue or relating in any substantial way to the governance of the nation, bribery, insurrection etc... Not convicted in the senate.
Trump (1st) - Brought a narrow charge about abuse of power in foreign affairs with very strong evidence. Republicans claimed at the very beginning of 2020 that "we should let the people decide" in an election 11 months away.

Yes!! You're right. I agree with all of that. I remember, Was alive for all of it. We have our work cut out for us…but yes.. It needs to happen and I hope you are right. That strategy could work! 👍👍👍👍🙏
What about the 25th amendment?
Like impeachment/conviction/removal, action under the 25th Amendment depends on Congress. Congress must decide whether the president is incapacitated by a two-thirds vote. With its current makeup, that scenario is hard to envision. And even if he were removed, the vice president then becomes Acting President. I fear we have a better chance of aliens coming to save us all than we do relying on the 25th Amendment, unfortunately. (winking emoji)
They're all complicent!
100% we won’t be successful with the current makeup of the government. I’m hoping after midterms that can change.
100%
Jan 6 should have been enough, but free speech for sure
Stop it.
A trial for the whole GOP for Treason...and the Supreme Court judges who voted yes to protect tRump.
How does anyone still believe J6 was legitimate when 275+ feds were there pulling off the most corrupt entrapment operation in the history of the country? They removed barricades, opened doors, and led people up the staircases. 🤣
This is a worn thin narrative that was never going to hold water. There was one shot your reps had, and they refused to take it, because “they're ALL in a big club and YOU AIN'T IN IT”
Absolutely impeach. But Congress is complicit, the Supreme Court is complicit, the wackos in the administration are complicit. They have the ICE army. Who is left? The Fantastic Four?
It's WHY we MUST win. If not, the country is GONE. PLEASE be SURE to VOTE! And please encourage your neighbors.
The vote happened. The majority rejected leftism. The orange man and all his flaws was more tolerable than the left.
It'll be too late by then:(
The country is back, not gone. Trump is showing every single day how inept Democrats are. Cleaning up crime and historic peace agreements, only a few among many accomplishments and he’s not even through year one.
You'll lose the vote, AND you'll still be here, still being sucked dry of your resources. You actually have no say at present, and there is only one logical solution beyond open revolution which would get VERY UGLY.
And that wb…????
To take the power they seek and use it against them. They seek totalitarian control, do they not? Mind, that this is a solution fir making much shorter work of things than it otherwise would be. My blueprint is to have the legalities and clarity thereof, handled inside of 10 years, and a majority of major infrastructure upgrades well underway. But in order to make short work of it, will require a document of my design, that localized all military units instead of having them abroad. Trim down to a small number of bases off-shore and rein in certain three letter agencies but putting THEM under the type of scrutiny the "overlords" have otherwise designed to monitor and control "the people".
You can’t call for violent revolution after you condemn the J6 people. You are literally the same thing if that is truly what you believe.
It would appear to me that reading comprehension on your part, involves a faulty filter. You should clarify when covering subject matter, if you're addressing something Trump said or something I said.
You realize everything you’re saying is what we said about your side when they were in office. Trump isn’t going anywhere, just like Biden didn’t. If your side manages to somehow remove him from office, Vance is next and he’s even better than Trump. You win with policies that make the vast majority’s lives better, not with violent rhetoric, actual violence, and terrible policies that the majority dislike. It’s not that hard but you folks have no good ideas and are lost in your extreme left mass formation that doesn’t appeal to the majority. 👍🏻
Thank you for all you do, David! I enjoy listening to your voice of reason and your factual reporting- it echoes my thoughts I’m sometimes unable to put into words as eloquently and articulately as you do! Thank you! 🙏🏻 💕 🇺🇸
This may be the last chance the Republicans can free themselves from Trump ..vote to convict
I fear they do not want to be free of Big Daddy!
What an absolutely delusional comment. Cleaning up crime and historic peace agreements—no, we don’t want him out lady. 🤣
It is time to impeach Trump and JD Vance. They are trying to destroy democracy, our freedom of speech. And bankrupting our country. 🤬🤬🤬
I hear this from the neighbors: Trump and the Christian Nationalists on the Supreme Court and the republican puppets in Congress aim to fully tear down the existing structure of the United States. They will subdue any resistance with the military while they rebuild the country following the Christian Nationalist blueprint. This has been the plan all along. Trump and his loyalists are in it for power. The true Christian Nationalists are in it for eventual ultimate control.
YOU are Spot ON!! This is NO joke and people NEED to take ALL of this SERIOUSLY!!!
IF they don't, they will be crying for the rest of their lives! Mark My Words. These people ARE terrorists and this is how they operate in terrorist countries. I'VE seen this coming for a decade when Trump stuck his nose into politics. THIS is like another Crusade! When this is over, the Heritage Foundation being a terrorist org., MUST be dismantled and people PROSECUTED!!!! I'm SERIOUS!!! The same with those on in the Federalist Society! THEY plotted too!!! THIS place needs a SWEEPING CLEANING OUT with a TON of PROSECUTIONS lined up. I am NOT kidding or making this up. THIS is more dangerous that most Americans realize. And when we accomplish that, we go after the DIRTY 1/2 DOZEN siting their worthless asses in SCOTUS! THEN we pick 6 more to take their places with TERM LIMITS! "Term Limits for Everyone!!"

I forgot to mention that my neighbors fly Trump's Never Surrender flag above the U.S. flag. It is important to acknowledge that many seemingly normal Americans want this. Why? America doesn't work for them any more. They thought they would be better off than their parents and their children would be better off than them.
This is assuming there are enough 'good' people left to do all of that.....
I agree with your points, Laura. One thing that is a mystery to me, observing from outside the Divided States of America, is why the Christian Nationalists are not considered a terrorist organisation. Is this not more serious than the free speech issue? Or at least AS serious as the violation of your First Amendment rights?
Just an additional side note here: They will be re-writing your Constitution for sure.
I'm aware of far-right, white supremacist, CN pushing for a new Constitutional Convention with the aim of bending/changing the Constitution to their warped philosophy and misinterpretation of scripture. We will be far worse as a country than people can even imagine - especially women, minorities, and anyone who is not of the correct religious sect. The government has long been reluctant to label religious cults terrorists unless they espoused fire bombing, assassinations, or similar, which is what NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) has called for with their Seven Mountain Mandate. But, as they say, "Too late. The fox is in the henhouse."
WoW! I was not aware of the NAR or their Seven Mountain Mandate, Laura. I also didn't know that the CN actually has a plan to re-write the Constitution. It just seemed to me to be a logical progression of what I had learned about them. Thank you for this additional information, very depressing though it may be.
As for how women would be treated, wasn't there a public statement about even taking the VOTE away from women? That on top of the other brutalities that women are already experiencing in your country? Despicable (to understate the matter).
All the best to you. Take care and STAY SAFE.
Have you read it all? I did. No where in Project 2025 does it talk about taking away women’s voting rights. Holy cow you folks are gullible.
You haven't been keeping up. There was indeed a proposal to take the vote away from women. I never said it was in the damned Project 2025. Talk about GULLIBLE!
You don’t understand what a Constitutional Convention is. It’s the second means by which amendments can be proposed. Any proposed amendments must be ratified by 3/4 of the states. It’s called democracy. 🤦🏻♀️
It sounds like you have a lot to learn about what a democracy actually is. In point of fact, your country has never had one. If my assumption as to which country you live in is incorrect, I apologise.
My country is a Constitutional Republic which has a representative democracy. I teach civics, so…
Everything still in place now, partially or fully, wb destroyed & replaced w their facist beliefs (i.e., Project 2025). This will inspire & embolden others like-minded around the globe (Bannon, Farage (sp), Orbahn & that group have been busy growing it overseas.)It could well ultimately destroy the world! But I dont think they're looking that far ahead! The part I don't get is how businesses will thrive without the front line workers & the customers. I guess in their minds AI will take care of that somehow...but since AI is NOT YET READY FOR PRIME TIME (imo) I am not seeing it. Or are they considering how all the data ctrs, coupled w no EPA standards or fed regs will SPEED UP the destruction of the planet so it will much more swiftly become NOT SUSTAINABLE FOR ANY LIVING BEINGS. --So I see their immense greed wiping out a great deal. What I don't see is any survivors in such a vastly degraded world.-- So WHO wb the 'winners' then??????? Hmmmm?
The cockroaches, ants, some spiders, and the alligators and crocodiles will likely survive. Maybe the dust mites. Possibly even some MAGATs will survive if they can last in their underground bunkers or on Mars for a few millenia, but they will be highly inbred.
Hopefully the Muslims will win
Your neighbors are indoctrinated at the level of the People’s Church. Holy wow.
Yes to Vance's impeachment as well as I've heard he's the Heritage Foundation's golden boy.
Are you insane? It’s the exact opposite. 🤦🏻♀️
WoW Sue!! What a bizarre comment. (And with no indication of what it is a response to.
Apologies. My dumbphone wouldn't accept your pseudonym as real and changed it to "Sue". No offence intended. (And it just tried to change my correct spelling to American but fortunately I caught that potential error in time.) Again my apologies about not getting your fake name right.
He has also taken bribes. Lots and lots and lots of bribes. In fact, he is so freaking blatant about it, that there will be "sponsor bricks" in the new ballroom. Bribery is in black letter text in the Constitution as an impeachable offence.
Show your evidence for this claim.
This is such a nightmare we are in
Not for me! My nightmare was Obama and Biden. 🤣
You have no idea what we are up against!
We know obama was because he was the epitome of everything your president wasn't black and smart. You literally have a pedophile running the country in which my child can speak more clearly than him. I know you like trumo because he speaks the same language as you trailer park trick. You and trump speak the language of dumb. Bite one trailer park b*tch
No, Obama was one of the most divisive and inept presidents ever to occupy the Whitehouse. Biden was even worse, and an actual pedo. He showered with his daughter and sniffed children—inappropriately touched them and talked about kids rubbing his leg hairs at the pool. Creepy dude. I don’t live in a trailer park, and I love that Trump is doing everything he said he would do. Your side of the aisle has no clue about how to successfully run a country. All you’re good for is whining and calling strangers names on the internet. 3 1/2 more years, buddy. Better get a therapist. Your TDS is raging.
You’re funny.
I can't wait to see when it's YOU he comes after. He has told you many times, he DOES NOT care about you but you think, oh he's just being trump or he's just kidding it was a joke.
You are the joke Side.
Life was too good for y then? Paying off republicans debt and creating jobs, saving homes from bankruptcy? Maybe y need to move to Russia?
Ahem. Yes, his assault on the Constitution's First Amendment alone is enough for an impeachment to follow through. But, don't I remember him NOT putting his hand on the bible or raising it while taking THE OATH to that Constitution ? But one must ask how has he been able to get this far. It truely is unbelievable that with the long, long list of actual overt, blatant and convicted crimes, social faux pauxs, nuzzling up with the likes of vlad & BB the baby killers, not to mention the newly posted picts fondling minors that he is still violating 1600 Pennsyvania Ave !!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE, THIS GOVERNMENT, THIS NATION AND PEOPLE ! ? We are entrenched in an historic moralistic, virtuistic, decency and humanistic low point as a nation, government and people ! As personified by our questionably elected,(election tampering and interference ?) MISTAKE OF A POTUS !!!!
Good luck even bringing the bastered before an impeachment hearing. America has better chance he chokes on a cheeseburger. Sadly, change has to come from the ballot box.
It did come from the ballot box. We changed it. We were sick of your dementia grifter ruining the republic.
You voted for this and are owning It. A common felon and child rapist. Unprove that.
He’s not a felon—a kangaroo court that used an old, obscure never used law to try to take Trump out is not worth anything. He is also not a rapist—Democrats paid several women to lie to take him out and there is evidence of that here. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/365068-exclusive-prominent-lawyer-sought-donor-cash-for-two-trump-accusers/
Thy forked tongue is orange
Get some help. You’re unhinged lady.
An old, obscure, never used law is still a law. He broke it and was convicted, but you justify putting a felon in the WH. Good job.
Is it really a felony if it was a politically motivated prosecution designed to take out a political opponent by any means necessary, including a porn star who was paid to make false allegations against Trump and later lost her defamation suit against him and was ordered to pay him $300,000 for legal fees? Not to mention the unconditional discharge of the felony. You see, those of us who support Trump could see through the underhanded tactics of the left. I mean, they tried to kill him twice when these types of things, including the fake dossier, failed to work. You have 3 ½ more years Faye, so buckle up.
You think you’re “winning” and “owning the libs,” huh? “Buckle up” is something a child would say, but don’t worry, I’ll survive the 3 1/2 years.
I 💯 love everything President Trump is doing! I fully own the restoration of this country to its founding principles! I do not subscribe to Democrat transformation of the United States into a socialist hell hole, where baby murder is celebrated, where God is denied and mocked,
women are oppressed by men in dresses, where rule of law is not enforced and criminals and illegal aliens are allowed to pillage law abiding citizens, where the government taxes us into oblivion, where men in drag run a defective and weak military, or where freedom of speech is only for the left and people on the right get shot in the neck for having a different opinion. Go live in a third world country somewhere if you don’t like it here. More and more centrists are coming over to the right because your side has gone off the rails with your mass formation psychosis. You’re pit bulls for the billionaire totalitarians on the left, doing their dirty work by attacking Trump and his supporters and half the time you can’t even give an facts for why—just emotional hate speech that orange man bad! Sorry, but we’re not handing the country over to you. You had your turn with Obama and Biden and failed miserably. We want effective leaders who improve our country—Democrats fail every time because they are a party of inept and incompetent people.
I wholly agree with your justification for impeachment based on the First Amendment, but the man has done SO MANY unrelated impeachable things, it is ridiculous it has gotten to this point at all.
Like what? Lay out your argument with legitimate and provable facts and evidence.
Hmm, let’s see. There are the First Amendment violations like threatening and withdrawing funding from universities. We can add to that his usurping Congressional authority and taking away funds that Congress has appropriated. Not only that, he has used his position and authority to threaten the media and law firms.
He has grossly profited during this term, with his cryptocurrency, bitcoin and other financial moves, adding $3 billion to his net worth this year.
Violation of the Posse Comitatus Act and abusing the reach of the military and federal law enforcement.
I could go on all day about grabbing back scientific research funds, accepting gifts from foreign governments and just being a nepotistic criminal, but you should get the gist.
If Bill Clinton could be impeached for obstruction and perjury over Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky, then your boy’s laundry list could support a multitude of articles of impeachment.
I’m not discussing this with you further.
Harvard Money: I’m fully behind the president on removing funding for a wealthy university for allowing discrimination against Jewish students and for allowing DEI policies instead of fairness to all students based on merit and achievement. I don’t consent to my hard-earned tax dollars funding the social justice causes of the left at their wealthy university. Legally, the issue is still being worked out as Harvard is having to reach an agreement with the government to address its antisemitism activities and unfair DEI policies. They should never have been given funding when they were participating in these kinds of activities, but our checks and balances are so full of corrupt people they are not functioning as they should.
Cryptocurrency: Trump’s cryptocurrency isn’t illegal. Just like presidents profiting off of writing books or doing lecture tours isn’t illegal. Cry me a river. However, what IS illegal is when Biden and his whole family profited during his terms. He and his family receive 20 million + from China, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan, and Russia via shell companies. Hunter and James received 5 million from a CCP linked associate working for the CEFC demanding 10 million dollars and stating on the phone call that his father was sitting in the room. Then a CEFC affiliate, Northern Internation Capital, sent 5 million to a Hunter Biden joint venture called Hudson West III. Hudson West then sent $400,000 to a venture owned by Hunter Biden. Then Hunter wired $100,000 to his uncle and his uncle’s wife’s company. His wife, Sara Biden, then withdrew $50,000 from that account and deposited into her personal bank account. Then she transferred $40,000 to Joe Biden in a check and put loan repayment in the memo. As you said, I could go on and on with all of the grifting the Bidens did while in office. So spare me.
Posse Comitatius Act: The courts have either A) found no violation or B) are still pending findings. As Commander-in-Chief, he has every right to utilize our forces to enforce law and protect federal assets in anarchist cities like Portland and Chicago. The regular people in those cities who aren’t Democrat anarchist crazies are happy for the help and probably will come over to the Republican fold in the next election. Most people don’t like criminals running their cities. In the next 3 ½ years, as Trump shows people how things SHOULD be run and improves the lives of the average person, the left will lose more and more supporters. Especially if you keep shooting innocent people in the necks and try to assassinate presidents. Weird, huh?
Scientific research: That should be privately funded. Most of us don’t work hard every day for some lunatic leftist scientist to find out if monkeys in the Amazon are gay. Again, weird that we would feel that way right? After the lies of the Covid years, I am even more vehemently against blank check funding for scientists who lie to us and whose motivation is selling more pharma and profiting off people rather than actually helping them. Accepting gifts from foreign governments:
2009King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (to Obama family)Necklace (33 pearls); ruby and diamond jewelry set (earrings, necklace, ring, bracelet)$14,200 (necklace); $132,000 ,2009 King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia (to daughters Malia and Sasha)Gold bracelet with diamonds and emeralds; pearl necklace$7,275 total, 2011Various (total to Obama family)Assorted items including artwork, books, and clothing$243,971 total; White gold jewelry set (earrings, ring, necklace) with yellow sapphires and diamonds$71,468, 2013Vladimir Putin (Russia, to Obama family)Porcelain espresso/tea cup sets; porcelain plates depicting Russian cities$1,500, 2014King of MalaysiaSteel-bladed sword with gold/silver sheath and gemstones; coins, plate, photo$8,000+, 2014Tony Abbott (Australia)9.5' surfboard; black leather boots (part of $1.5M total haul), 2014Mohammed bin Naif (Saudi Arabia, to family)Sheer white robe; orange floor-length cape; paisley robe$39,915, 2014Abdelmalek Sellal (Algeria)Ceremonial dagger with silver and coral stones$885, 2014Jose Mujica (Uruguay)Paintings; cable-knit wool shawl; canvas print of men with swords, 2015Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif (Saudi Arabia)Sword with mother-of-pearl hilt and ruby-encrusted sheath$87,900, 2015King Abdullah (Saudi Arabia, to daughters)Diamond and emerald jewelry set (earrings, necklace, ring, brooch, watch)$80,000, 2015King Abdullah (Saudi Arabia, to Obama)Men's watch$18,000+, 2015Xi Jinping (China)Two computer tablets, 2016Emir of Qatar (to Obamas)Two gold-plated mechanical bird clocks (9" chiffchaffs that tweet and flap)$110,000 each ($220,000 total),2016Raul Castro (Cuba, to Obama)Wooden bust of Abraham Lincoln; 205 cigars; rum bottle; two books, 2016Raul Castro (Cuba, to Michelle Obama and family)White linen dresses and other items$2,355, 2016Mohammed VI (Morocco, to Michelle Obama)Gold-plated brooch with diamonds/rubies; three-tier silver diamond earrings; gold teardrop earrings with diamonds/emeralds$100.
Gifts are common for EVERY president and after they leave office are often transferred to the National Archives. He’s not a nepotistic criminal.
Bill Clinton: Stuck a cigar in a young intern’s vagina in the Oval Office while married and while he was supposed to be doing the people’s business, not his own adulterous business. He indeed obstructed and there was credible evidence, including the infamous blue dress, to show that he did what he was accused of. That is not the case with Trump. They were all paid accusations and discredited. The Democrats were pulling out all the stops to get their political rival out of contention. That is different than what Bill did.
You don’t have to discuss it with me any further. I am used to lefties ducking and running when confronted with the truth. It doesn’t phase me anymore. Stay ignorant and stay as a lap dog for the totalitarian billionaires on the left who are manipulating you into voting against your own self-interests. As Trump continues to show the American people how his policies are working and making THEIR lives better, they will continue to walk away from your dying and disastrous party in droves.
😄 I’m not a leftie. I’ve probably voted for more Republicans than you have, but since it wasn’t Trump or his cohort, I guess that would make me a RINO. Keep enjoying your “better life.” Come back in 3 1/2 years and tell me how you feel then.
You’re lying to yourself then Faye. If you support what the left has been doing to this country, you’re a leftist. You don’t have to like Trump’s personality. I don’t love it at times, either. However, faced with Harris or Trump, only one has superior policies and has followed through on them resulting in a better life for all Americans. Harris would’ve been disastrous for this nation and a puppet for the cabal running the left. I’m not going to sacrifice my family at the altar of Trump hate. Sorry, not happening. I can’t wait to vote for Vance. He will be the whole package.
Sure. Tell me all about myself, you know me so well. I will agree that Harris is/was worthless, but that doesn’t change the fact that Trump is, too. You can have it both ways, you know. Have a day.
Like what?!? WAKE UP
See, you can’t give me anything. 🤣
What a waste
No one wastes time w you.
Blue is the new red
You’re wasting time with me,
Pat. 👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣 The delusion is strong with you people.
I wholeheartedly agree, although I fear our Democrats at the top of leadership are impotent at best in taking action to stop this regime from taking hold of our democracy
Not only the First Amendment but also the Emoluments clause, the attempted and sometimes successful violations of habeas corpus and the statutes prohibiting the use of the military domestically ( the Posse Comitatus Act? Me not sure). These are what I could think of off the top of my head, but there are more instances.
For the love of God. There's a petition sitting on the Hill for impeachment. I signed it . Republicans will not do it; I don't know what the Democrats problem is,or they can't. I don't know.
I sign EVERY one that I get!
As a matter of fact, I just now signed this one. It's about mail in voting, that Trump wants to PREVENT! Please sign this, everyone. : ) Then share it!

Time is ticking....FFS
Trump sees himself as a Founding Father, but by attacking the First Amendment he acts as a Founding Demolisher. The founders built safeguards against tyrants; he’s trying to become the very one they sought to stop.
Trump wanted to be a Founding Father. History will remember him as #DemolitionDad.
A real father builds a home. Trump tears down a nation. #DemolitionDad
The Founders wrote the First Amendment to protect freedom. Trump wants to rip it apart. #DemolitionDad
You don’t defend liberty by silencing voices. That’s not leadership, that’s #DemolitionDad.
From “Father of a Nation” to “Dad of Destruction.” #DemolitionDad
So yes, obviously ! It's time - again - ...
