    Which is a violation of his oath of office, which is ample grounds for impeachment.

    Shame that Congress is full of feckless cowards

      “Hey buddy, get in line.” - the other 10-15 things he’s done that other presidents would have gotten impeached for.

          God damn. I love Star Wars, but why is Star Wars almost a documentary these days? Between this, Obi-Wan’s speech about the fall of the temple, and the events of Attack of the Clones…we just don’t have spaceships.

            Watching the prequels in the current year made me appreciate just a little bit how… so forward thinking they were. Emperor Palatine didn’t become an emperor overnights, you see, he was made into a Chancellor democratically and then he just… played chess against himself to eventually become Emperor.

            Granted the modern breed of fash spreading all over the world aren’t that horrifically smart, but it’s true.

            This is how liberty dies!

      I dont think theyre cowards per se. I think this is how the “democracy” is intended to work?

      Trump looks after oligarchs, oligarchs make donations to campaigns to get senators elected, senators support Trump.

      Its not so much that theyre cowards, theyre just serving the people who got them elected, and thats not the voters.
