Let The Voters Decide???

I find it interesting. During the Clinton Impeachment Trial Graham and the other Republicans had no problem demanding witnesses and evidence be entered. Now? Under Trump? It is a flip-flop.

They say that the impeachment of Trump and the attempted “coup” of him by the Democrats was going against the will of the voters who elected Trump. Yet by Trump even being in the White House? That went against the will of the voters who actually elected Hillary Clinton by their vote. It was only the Electoral College that got Trump in.

In poll after poll, even Fox polls, the majority wanted Trump impeached and the majority also wanted Bolton and Mulvaney, and even Trump and Guiliani to testify as well as more evidence entered. But the Republicans went even against this.

And now they say, why yeah, what he did was wrong, what he did was not right, but hey, it did not rise to the level to where he should be removed from office. But heck, they wanted to have Bill Clinton removed for lying about getting a bj in the oval office.

Now they say that they will allow the voters to decide. REALLY? We did decide the last time and that got over-ruled. Moscow Mitch KNOWS that the electronic voting machines also need paper back up, and more security needs to be done with the not only voting machines, but voter rolls. Of course the Repugnants will do all they can to also suppress the vote through voter id laws and gerrymandering.

One of the reasons why Trump is so desperate to stay in power is? He knows once he walks out of that White House? He will be in handcuffs along with dear old Diaper Donnie Jr, Eric, Ivanka and many others. He knows that he is looking at facing a whole host of charges. So we know he will do all he can to stay where he is.

But the thing we really got to figure out is what hold is over the Republicans that they would actually, knowingly sell out this country to Traitor Trump, Putin and the Russians? There is more here than meets the eyes with McConnell, Cruz, Graham, and why Boehner and Ryan left. I believe there is more to the connection with Butina, the NRA and Russia and the donations to the Republicans than meets the eyes.

One thing is for sure. We got to get off our butts, get the kids off their butts and vote, go out and vote blue and get out all these Republicans who are standing behind and defending Trump and his actions. We got to get Trump out of office. Trouble is? Like Cohen says, even if he loses his re-election? He is not going to leave quietly. And he has his Right Wing Christos like Robert Jeffress, Franklin Graham, Jim Bakker, and Rick Wiles along with a whole lot of extremist, right wing, white supremacist supporters of Trump all who were calling for a Civil War if Trump was removed.

We are in for a whole lot of trouble and Putin and Russia, China and North Korea? Are all loving what is happening here because of Trump and the Republicans.

But we have to at least try to continue to abide by the law and the Constitution. So,

REGISTER TO VOTE, AND VOTE AS YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.

AND SADLY GET READY, BECAUSE THE PSYCHOPATHS OF TRUMP JUST MIGHT GET WHAT THEY WANT AND START A CIVIL WAR AND THEN? IT IS TIME FOR ALL OF US TO TRULY COME TOGETHER AND PUT THEM DOWN LIKE THE RABID DOGS THEY ARE.

is it time for a new civil war: russian republicans continue to protect traitor trump

IS IT TIME FOR A NEW CIVIL WAR?

When the hell did we stop hanging traitors to our nation and start electing them to political office?

The minute Moscow Mitch McConnell, Leningrad Lindsey, and the rest of the Russian GOP's tucked their little dicks between their legs and started sucking on Traitor Trump's tiny dick.

Republicans defeat Democratic bids to hear witnesses in Trump trial

The votes represented a major victory for McConnell and Trump.
https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/31/murkowski-to-vote-against-calling-witnesses-in-impeachment-trial-109997

Two Republicans — Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah — joined all 47 Senate Democrats in voting for the motion. Two potential GOP swing votes, Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, stuck with their party, ensuring that the Democratic motion was defeated. It came after the House’s impeachment prosecutors argued for weeks that voting against new witnesses and documents would render the trial a “sham” and a “cover-up” of the president’s alleged misconduct.

“Senators who opposed hearing from these witnesses, when their testimony would have better informed a judgment on the guilt or innocence of the president, will be hard pressed to explain why,” the House impeachment managers said in a joint statement. “Senators chose instead to set a dangerous precedent that will have long-lasting repercussions for the United States Congress, the balance of powers, and our democracy as a whole.”

Although Alexander said he believed Trump’s conduct was inappropriate — and that Democrats had “proven” the case against him — he said hearing from additional witnesses would not change his view that Trump did not commit impeachable offenses.

First? Let’s see the hypocrisy of the Russian Repugnants shall we?

And now? Let’s look at the High Treason of the Russian Republicans, in defense of Putins Puppet, Donald J Trump and throw the rule of law and the Constitution out the window.

Moscow Mitch McConnell already declares the fix is in and the Russian Repugnants will not abide by their oath they swore to at the start of the impeachment trial of Traitor Trump
In between public impeachment hearings, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell outlined what would happen when the impeachment process reaches the Senate. McConnell said he did not believe there would be enough votes to impeach President Trump.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, the last true publicly undecided Republican senator, said she would oppose witnesses in the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, meaning the vote that’s slated for Friday is very likely to fail 49-51.

The Russian Republicans have committed High Treason in their defense of Putin’s Puppet, Donald J Trump

Trump is trying to say it was totally fine to do business with Russia while he was running for President.

Dear Trump, doing business with a foreign adversary while that same adversary is attacking our democracy to help get you elected is not totally fine.

IT'S TREASON

18 U.S. Code CHAPTER 115— TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES

18 U.S. Code § 2381. Treason

18 U.S. Code § 2382. Misprision of treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

Trump Just Got Caught Praising Russian Hackers To Putin Like A Treasonous Traitor
https://bipartisanreport.com/2017/07/24/trump-just-got-caught-praising-russian-hackers-to-putin-like-a-treasonous-traitor/

While Trump changes his position on an almost daily basis on whether or not Russia did exactly what four intelligence agencies confirmed that they did, and which no one in Congress now denies, his new communications director confirmed that Trump is still unsure that Russia was responsible for the hacks performed to influence the 2016 presidential elections in Trump’s favor. Citing an unnamed source that Scaramucci was later forced to admit was none other than the president himself, the new communications director told Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union that:

‘Somebody said to me yesterday—I won’t tell you who—that if the Russians actually hacked this situation and spilled out those emails, you would have never seen it, you would have never had any evidence of them.’

It seems baffling that Trump is still holding to that line, but a new report by The New York Times makes the president’s position far more clear. Trump changes his position on Russian hacking at times when his feet are held to the fire, but:

‘When Mr. Trump met Mr. Putin in Hamburg, Germany, two weeks ago, he did not utter similar suspicions, at least in public. In fact, he emerged to tell his aides that the Russian president had offered a compelling rejoinder: Moscow’s cyberoperators are so good at covert computer-network operations that if they had dipped into the Democratic National Committee’s systems, they would not have been caught.’

A belief in those assertions certainly falls in line with statements made by Trump throughout the campaign and during his presidency. Shortly before Trump’s inauguration, the president tweeted:

Unless you catch “hackers” in the act, it is very hard to determine who was doing the hacking. Why wasn’t this brought up before election?

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 12, 2016

While that claim is entirely untrue, it also speaks to Trump’s assurance from Putin that if Russia had been responsible for the hacks, there is no way U.S. intelligence and cybersecurity experts would have been able to identify the hackers or their country of origin. Russian cyberattackers are just that good, according to Putin, and it seems the president is more than ready to believe him lest the legitimacy of his 2016 win be questioned.

Malcolm Nance, a former U.S. Counterterrorism & Intelligence Official, argues that Putin has an ‘information dominance’ over President Donald Trump reacting to their meeting at the G20 summit.

Donald Trump heaps more praise on Putin
Trump on Putin’s alleged killing of journalists: ‘At least he’s a leader’

https://www.politico.com/story/2015/12/trump-praises-putin-216929

By NICK GASS

Donald Trump heaps more praise on Putin: ‘At least he’s a leader’An excerpt of Donald Trump’s interview on ‘Morning Joe’ on Thursday.

Donald Trump hesitated on Friday to criticize Russian President Vladimir Putin for allegations the Kremlin has killed high-profile journalists critical of the leader, saying “our country does plenty of killing also.”

During an interview with MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Trump expanded upon his welcoming of praise from Putin, remarking that “when people call you brilliant, it’s always good, especially when the person heads up Russia.”

Co-host Joe Scarborough then asked Trump what he thought about the number of high-profile murders of journalists who have been critical of Putin. “He’s running his country, and at least he’s a leader, you know unlike what we have in this country,” Trump responded.

Scarborough pressed Trump again on the issue.

“Well I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe,” Trump said. “So, you know. There’s a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, Joe. A lot of killing going on, a lot of stupidity.”

Asked then, whether he would condemn Putin’s hostility toward journalists, Trump said, “Oh sure, absolutely.”

According to data from the Committee to Protect Journalists, 23 members of the media have been killed in Russia since Putin took power in 2000, though not all of their deaths appear to be related to their work. The 2006 murder of journalist Anna Politkovskaya, one of the highest profile media cases internationally, resulted in prison sentences for five men in 2014, though it is unclear who ordered the contract killing. Later in 2006, former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko, who had fled to the United Kingdom and accused Putin of ordering Politkovskaya’s killing, fell ill the same day he met with two former KGB officers. He later died, with British health investigators finding a significant amount of radioactive polonium-210 in his body, the first documented instance of such a poisoning.

Mitt Romney, who was outspoken during the 2012 campaign about the threat Russia posed to the United States, implicitly rebuked Trump on Twitter later in the morning.

“Important distinction: thug Putin kills journalists and opponents; our presidents kill terrorists and enemy combatants,” the former Republican nominee tweeted Friday, following Trump’s repeated praise of the Russian president’s strength, despite his condemnation of his alleged ordered killing of his political and media opponents.

It is the second time in recent weeks that Romney has criticized the Republican poll leader’s comments, tweeting on Dec. 8 that Trump “fired before aiming” with his call to temporarily ban all Muslims from entering the U.S.

Throughout the course of his interview, the Manhattan mogul explained why he felt the United States and Russia would have a better relationship in a Trump administration, remarking repeatedly upon the poor “chemistry” between Putin and President Barack Obama.

In looking at photos of Putin and Obama seated together, Trump mused, “Nothing good is going to come of that.”

“I’ve always felt fine about Putin. I think that he’s a strong leader,” he said, proceeding to rattle off his recollections of the Russian leader’s polling. “I think he’s up in the 80s, which is you see where Obama’s in the 30s and the low 40s and he’s up in the 80s, and I don’t know who does the polls, maybe he does the polls, but I think they’re done by American companies, actually.”

As far as dealing with Putin’s aggression in Crimea and in eastern Ukraine, Trump reiterated his longstanding position that European countries like “big, monstrous” Germany should do more. “They accept his oil and gas and lots of other things, and here we are fighting like hell,” he said.

On whether that would mean “leading from behind,” Trump demurred. Scarborough asked Trump whether he would give Poland its antimissile defense system, plans for which the Obama administration scuppered in 2009.

“I would consider that, absolutely,” Trump said. “You know, when you say follow, I think that’s great, but maybe we should do a little bit of following and let the neighbors sort of tell us, you know, like, let us let the neighbors take more of an active role in the Ukraine.”

He added, “Frankly I’d like to see a little more enthusiasm from those affected, Joe.”

President Donald Trump Praises Montana Congressman Who Assaulted Reporter

Trump’s history of trusting Saudi Arabia, Russia, and North Korea
Dissident Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi was allegedly murdered after entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, according to Turkish authorities. Saudi’s crown prince denies any knowledge of what happened to Khashoggi, a Virginia resident, and President Trump is taking the monarch at his word, despite Saudi’s known record of targeting journalists and human rights activists. It’s not the first time Trump has put his trust in a dangerous world leader.”

And this is the scumbag they believe is a great person, fit to be president of the United States.

Donald Trump compilation: The 90 most shocking things he’s said during election campaign
From calling Mexicans’ rapists to “locker room talk” and “such a nasty woman.” Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said and done some outrageous things on the campaign trail. Here’s the 90 most memorable.

THIS IS WHO THE RUSSIAN REPUGNANTS ARE PROTECTING AND DEFENDING.

If President Barack Obama or Bill Clinton had been recorded defending Putin and Russia over our own CIA and other intelligence agencies? Why the Repugnants would be demanding they be arrested for High Treason and executed at Gitmo.

But? Because it is Putin Puppet Traitor Trump praising Putin, and other dictators? That is ok.

If it was President Barack Obama or Bill Clinton doing ANY of these things that Trump has been bagged for? They would demand their impeachment and their removal from office.

But because it is Traitor Twitter Tyrant Trump? Why he gets a pass.

And the Repugnants just proved Traitor Trump right.

HE COULD SHOOT SOMEONE IN THE MIDDLE OF FIFTH AVENUE, IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, AND IT WOULD BE RECORDED ON VIDEO, AND MITCH MCCONNELL, LINDSEY GRAHAM, DEVIN NUNES AND ALL THE REST OF THE RUSSIAN REPUGNANTS? WOULD STILL DEFEND HIM.

Is it time for a new Civil War?

The Trumpsters stated that if Trump was removed from office, they would start a new Civil War.

But should we who know that Trump is guilty and should be removed from office, also proclaim we should start a Civil War if the Repugnants do not remove him from office.

First? NO.

I believe we should continue to work in the system, and get out the vote. To get EVERYONE, including teens and millenials, who are eligible to vote, off their asses and get them to vote. The ONLY way we can overcome this right now from a legal standpoint is to overwhelmingly vote out all the Repugnants who supported and defended this Treasonous Trump.

Yet, what if the election machines are rigged? And they change the votes from Democrat to Republican as has been shown on a few of these machines? And what if the Repugnants do lose like they did in the last mid-terms and Traitor Trump loses and refuses to leave office, and institutes Martial law even? What do we do about this?

THE FOUNDING FATHERS? TOLD US WHAT TO DO IN THIS CASE.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTER OR TO ABOLISH IT, AND TO INSTITUTE A NEW GOVERNMENT, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, IT IS THEIR RIGHT, IT IS THEIR DUTY, TO THROW OFF SUCH GOVERNMENT AND TO PROVIDE NEW GUARDS FOR THEIR FUTURE SECURITY.

Thomas Jefferson, The Declaration of Independence.

YES, WE CONTINUE TO ABIDE BY THE LAWS AND RULES OF THE CONSTITUTION, BUT WHEN THE REPUGNANTS AND TRAITOR TRUMP TRULY THROWS THOSE RULES AND LAWS OUT THE WINDOW AFTER THE NEXT ELECTION?

THEN? IT IS TIME FOR A NEW CIVIL WAR, A WAR OF INDEPENDENCE AGAINST THE RUSSIAN REPUGNANTS AND TRAITOR TRUMP WHO HAS STOLEN OUR COUNTRY.
