Are We About to Face Our Gravest Constitutional Crisis?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Before this lame-duck Congress adjourns in December we could face the most serious constitutional crisis in the history of the republic if Donald Trump attempts to shut down the investigation by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III.
A supine and pliant Republican Party, still in control of the House and the Senate, would probably not challenge Trump. The Supreme Court, which would be the final arbiter in any legal challenge to the president, would probably not rule against him. And his cultish followers, perhaps 40 million Americans, would respond enthusiastically to his trashing of democratic institutions and incitements of violence against the press, the Democratic Party leadership, his critics and all who take to the streets in protest. The United States by Christmas, if Trump plays this card, could become a full-blown authoritarian state where the rule of law no longer exists and the president is a despot.

Stand up for America by standing up to Trump and to Trumpism...
Now is time for good men and women to stand up for this nation.
Stand up for decency, honor and for our shared American values...
Now is time to resist Trump and the gop in all our collective might.
Stand up for what we believe in. Stand up against the gop's far right.
FAR right? What the hell is the far right, the actual KKK? About 4/5 of the party is far right. Almost all of them support President Scumbag.
OK. Well. You do that. Have at it.
Personally, I've got a job and a family, and as things really aren't very different than they were 3 years ago, I'm going to spend my energy on those.
Go shopping if it helps you forget our Republic hangs by a thread...
I was affluent and happy before Trump and will be after he is gone.
Until then I will beware. Beware for your freedom. Afraid for our nation.
No, your 'feelings' hang by a thread. Our Republic is quite safe.
Exactly my point. So WTF are you carrying on about?
OK. You do that. You beware. You live in fear for our nation or whatever else you want to be afraid of.
But Trump's not the one trying to outlaw my health insurance. He's not the one trying to reinstate banking regulations so stupid the Chairman of the Federal Reserve can't get a mortgage (you know that actually happened, yes?). So while you're making your list of shit to be afraid of, be sure to include those two.
But make no mistake....fear is a choice. I choose not to be afraid.
If Trump was worried about the pointless Mueller investigation he would have had it shut down before now. But since there is no evidence of any wrong doing, he'll just let it play out. The new, not the interim AG, probably either Trey Gowdy or Chris Christie, will be confirmed before the Dems take over the House. They will like look into any alleged crimes by members of the Obama administration and by his lackeys in the FBI and IRS.
Greg you are stretching a mile now
No evidence of collusion with Russia? Yes there is...
No evidence of obstruction of justice? Yes there is...
No evidence of enriching himself illegally? Lots of it.
The right must be deaf, dumb and blind not to know...
Denial has got a hold on you and it just won't let you go, huh?
Then why don't you post the credible evidence here??
Links and articles please.
As I've said on numerous posts now. Trump's base/loyalists are not to be reasoned with. They are warped and broken without common decency and common core standards.
Don't waste your time. We don't want them as Americans anyhow. Let them remain defined as Trump's Base and Trump's loyalists. They don't deserve to be considered American.
What an "inclusive" and "tolerant" comment. <sigh>

If there is all this evidence for all of that it should not be much of a problem for you to provide some of it. Your claiming something does not make it fact.
Wow, from the far left fantasy comes this piece of crap.
1) Hillary campaign, and DNC, emails being hacked by Russia had nothing to do with Trump. In fact they ignored government warnings and tried to cover it up.
No charges have been filed against Carter Page, why is that?
When I get time I will gets facts against your fiction on the other parts.

What? You don't appreciate my Trumpian move? Is it because I'm a female? Pretend I'm a dude. There ....... all better, I'm sure you admire and respect me now.
I don't know Wally. I thought you'd admire my Trumpian style.
Do you want me to grab someone's pussy and con people out of their hard earned money. Will that make it acceptable to you?
IMO, comments like your 4.2.5 PJ and 4.2.15 PJ dwell on political bias, identity politics, stereotypes, and intolerance. They do not contribute substance that could open the door to mature, civil conversation.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Okay?
Trumpism spawned the Trumpian dialect we call Trumpish...
A political movement is full to shit when it becomes an ISM..
I know, right? My turkey smells fine. Thankful, JBB...
Yeah - and on top of that Trump supporters have the nerve to pretend they are offended by incivility. They want to demand others play nice while their leader is the most uncivil hateful vulgar divisive person roaming the planet.
I don't consider them Americans any longer. They are Trump loyalists that are destroying the country from within. A cancer on civil society.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Yeah, I wish I had a nickel for every time I have experienced that exact phenomenon you described. I just had a comment saying, "That is rich coming from you", removed after responding to just such a dressing down about liberal incivility from one of this site's most virulent members. Stunning! Absolutely STUNNING...
Time to start the taters and take the bird out of the oven to set a bit. Maybe have a glass of wine. Here is wishing you and everyone else no matter their political stripes reading this a happy holiday and true blessings for the season ahead. Over and Out, JBB...
enjoy and have a great day
This is one of those seeds that should get reseeded in 10 years so we can laugh at how crazy the left was. These are the same claims that were made about George Bush and will age just as well.
[Removed]
Crazy or not IF we end all welfare I'm buying more protection to protect what little I have. Sooner or later the protests and rioters will figure out the good stuff to loot isn't in their neighborhoods it's in mine.
You can count me in as one that is looking forward to that day. Considering his eagerness to sign the farm bill loaded with welfare I don’t see becoming a reality.
Reauthorized every five years, the Farm Bill is a massive legislative package that authorizes funding for all federal food and farm-support programs. About 20 percent of the bill goes to programs for farmers, including commodity support, crop insurance, and conservation programs, while the other 80 percent is directed toward the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
putting the left in fema camps for re-education will be soooooo much fun... LOL
Holland is looking so much better these days !
I wonder what international shipping charges would be for all my shit these days ?
LOL
PS: And I'm what may be called an independent centralist. I just believe America is great because of the compromising of the two ideologies. When and IF that is gone, I want to be as well.
IF trump is the despot some claim...
you will not be allowed to leave and all your stuff will be nationalized.
so if you believe this crap?
ya better get a head start and leave now while the gettin is good
I figure if you watch what the rich people do as far as vacating America and leave if and when they do you'll be OK. So that's what I'm doing.
Bye! Write if you get work.
I'll send you a quarter if you need it!
LOL.. Do you really want people who live in the middle all gone ?
That would leave just the two side ta duke it out though so maybe not such a bad idea.
Many of "YOU people" seem to want nothing less that to fight each others with different ideologies to death and take over the whole country for yourselves. I Guess if ya git rid of all of us in the middle that would be easier and possibly it would even happen Another all out civil war in America,. Yep Holland is looking fine. please send your quarter and I'll check on the shipping charges.
lol
Don't care if your left right or middle .If your solution to the problems we face is to run away to Holland then begone
I relocated before I can do it again. If this country gets to the point of all you right and left leaning folks make it into something it never was supposed to be I dont feel like I'm abandoning anyone or anything. I look at as a lot of personal choices gone wrong, That was not my choice, I dont intend on paying the price if it blows up in your faces. Both the left and the right have become too polarized, I'm not responsible and dont join in so, Why should I pay ?
IF and when I see the rich fleing this country, I intend ta get on the bus. lol
Till then, I wrote this long ago and still believe in it, I saved it and pull it out occasionally"
America needs a mix of all ideologies:
“United we stand, divided we fall”
Does Anyone remember this is still AMERICA ?
America needs a mix of all, conservatives, liberals and independents.
A good blend will move America forward at a reasonable speed.
Too many of any one ideology is bad for America.
America needs to move forward as the world progresses.
Too many cons = little to no forward movement.
Too many liberals = move too fast forward.
Too many Independents = well you can’t have too many….lol (I’m one) LOL
Please research ALL candidates before you VOTE
The more Americans that research all the candidates for all the offices before they vote and vote for the most qualified, the better our government and country will be.
.
PS: I consider myself {a pragmatist, realistically moderate, a independent and progressive Deist with both some conservative and liberal tendencies, depending on the issue or subject.}
Hard to pigeon-hole that one. Drives me nuts sometimes, but I’m not. My mother had me tested.
Although it has been suggested, I be retested. At this point, I see no point of it. lol
PS: Ark, I hope you have a nice American Thanksgiving day !
IMO: We still have a lot to be grateful for. If we work together more, it may get even better. If we continue to divide more, well we'll see. Time will tell.
Thanks,
they start packing on december 5th. "the numbing" is coming
once the hammer drops on the rich/corrupt elite that you follow from this country to that?
this country will be what it was supposed to be again.
happy thanksgiving

No.
Wrong. See US Code 28 U.S.C. § 532.
I believe you've never read it nor understood it
Believe whatever you wish about me, because your opinion of my knowledge is irrelevant.
However, even James Comey and CNN disagree with you and your seeded article:
I hope you enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving, Don.
Yes, because the people heading to Washington, Dc from the Democratic Party have no intention to uphold their oaths of office. They show it in every office they hold throughout the country. What does the preamble of the Constitution state is the purpose of the Constitution?
What does the Democratic Party actually do? They support Antifa, which is an anti-Tranquility group. They plan on investigating Trump for his tax returns and a whole bunch of other things that he may or may not have done BEFORE becoming President which is actually a move to destroy Justice and rip apart the Union. They have already promised not to build the border wall and have proposed abolishing ICE, which is a move that removes instead of provides for the common defence. We can go on and on about how the Democratic Party is seeking to destroy the Constitution here and how uneducated those who support them are regarding what should be required of our public servants.

This insane bullshit has gone on for WAY too long. Trump is a dangerous lunatic who must be removed as soon as possible. How in hell can 40% of the country be demented enough to keep backing this freak? It's unbelievable that we are at this point. Trump and his merry band of morons enabled the butchering of that reporter.
Tell us how Trump is a lunatic and what he has done AS PRESIDENT that would require him to be removed? If you look at my post above, you will see a case to be made as to why the Democrats should be removed from office for violating their oaths of office throughout the country.
Yes.
Oh, THAT bullshit. Oh. wait...you think TRUMP is the lunatic..... Ah. I see. Riiiiiiiight. Must have missed him marching around screaming at the sky in his pink vagina hat. Kinda glad I missed that, actually.
How can the lunatic left have their panties in such a wad over somebody who really has almost zero impact on their daily lives?
Riiiiiight. Because butchering people is a new thing for the Saudis. They didn't behead hundreds of people/yr during the Obama years, and they certainly haven't been doing it for thousands of years or anything. No no. This is all new since 2016. Riiiiiight.
