Are We About to Face Our Gravest Constitutional Crisis?

No

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.

"Stand up to 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. 

Go shopping if it helps you forget our Republic hangs by a thread...

No, your 'feelings' hang by a thread.  Our Republic is quite safe.  

I was affluent and happy before Trump and will be after he is gone.

Exactly my point.  So WTF are you carrying on about?

Until then I will beware. Beware for your freedom. Afraid for our nation. 

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.

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.

cnn

Federal investigators tried to warn the Democratic National Committee about a potential intrusion in their computer network months before the party moved to try to fix the problem, U.S. officials briefed on the probe tell CNN.

The revelation raises questions about whether the DNC could have done more to limit the damage done by hackers suspected of working for Russian intelligence.

The DNC brought in consultants from the private security firm CrowdStrike in April. And by the time suspected Russian hackers were kicked out of the DNC network in June, the hackers had been inside for about a year.

A person briefed on the DNC's response says the warning from the FBI and other agencies wasn't specific, and that the extent of the problem wasn't clear when the initial warnings came. DNC officials hired outside help after additional indications surfaced that their systems were compromised.

The DNC breach occurred around the same time as breaches of U.S. government systems at the State Department and the White House. Analysts from the National Security Agency found signatures in those breaches that led them to suspect there were other intrusions outside the government, including at the DNC.

Subscribing to false income tax returns

Number of counts: 5
Maximum prison sentence per count: 3 years

In an indictment unveiled in February against Manafort and his former business partner, Rick Gates , the special counsel laid out what it described as a years-long "tax scheme" intended to lower Manafort's tax bills by hiding his income from U.S. authorities.

Manafort worked for years in the 2000s as a consultant for former Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych's pro-Russian Party of Regions. The tens of millions of dollars he earned for this work were put in foreign accounts, and Manafort used that money to fund a lavish lifestyle primarily through international wire transfers, Mueller alleges.

Manafort is accused of failing to report this income on his income tax returns, and falsely claiming he had no authority over those foreign accounts.

Failing to file foreign bank account reports

Number of counts: 4
Maximum prison sentence per count: 5 years

From 2011 to 2014, Manafort allegedly failed to file foreign bank account reports, known as FBARs, with the Treasury Department to disclose his control over his overseas accounts.

Bank fraud and bank fraud conspiracy

Number of counts: 4 counts of bank fraud; 5 counts of bank fraud conspiracy
Maximum prison sentence per count: 30 years

During the trial, prosecutors alleged that Manafort resorted to bank fraud to obtain loans for himself after Yanukovych was deposed as the leader of Ukraine in 2014, which dried up Manafort's lucrative stream of income.

Manafort and Gates are accused of defrauding U.S. banks and other lenders by lying about Manafort's income, debt and the nature of his real estate properties.

Prosecutors also allege Manafort and Gates knowingly doctored financial documents. One of Manafort's accountants testified under immunity during the trial that she had been asked to misrepresent Manafort's income by Gates.

The indictment alleges Manafort falsely claimed that a New York City condo was "owner-occupied" instead of rented in order to get more money when applying for a $3.4 million mortgage in late 2015.

It also says Manafort defrauded another lender by falsely overstating the 2015 income of one his businesses by more than $4 million, among other charges.

NOT THE ISSUE!

If I decide to leave my house unlocked, smart, stupid or otherwise, anyone who enters illegally is still guilty of a crime.

COMPUTER HACKING IS A CRIME! ASKING HACKERS TO SHARE WHAT THEY HAVE HACKED IS ALSO A CRIME!

I'll be back from time-to-time to nail the rest of the list.

What an "inclusive" and "tolerant" comment

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?   

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.

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.

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).

and the president is a despot

putting the left in fema camps for re-education will be soooooo much fun... LOL

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. 

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

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. 

Holland is looking so much better these days 

Bye!  Write if you get work. 

I wonder what international shipping charges would be for all my shit these days ?

I'll send you a quarter if you need it!  

Holland is looking so much better these days 

Bye!  Write if you get work. 

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

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, 

I figure if you watch what the rich people do as far as vacating America

they start packing on december 5th.    "the numbing" is coming

 right and left leaning folks make it into something it never was supposed to be

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

Are We About To Face Our Gravest Constitutional Crisis?

No.

Trump has flouted the Constitution since taking office. He has obstructed justice by firing the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, James Comey,

Wrong. See US Code 28 U.S.C. § 532.

I believe you've never read it nor understood it

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 have long believed that a President can fire an FBI Director for any reason, or for no reason at all . I'm not going to spend time on the decision or the way it was executed. I hope you won't either. It is done, and I will be fine, although I will miss you and the mission deeply.

cnn

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?

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

archives

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.

This insane bullshit has gone on for WAY too long.

Yes.

Trump is a dangerous lunatic who must be removed as soon as possible.

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 in hell can 40% of the country be demented enough to keep backing this freak?

How can the lunatic left have their panties in such a wad over somebody who really has almost zero impact on their daily lives?

  It's unbelievable that we are at this point.  Trump and his merry band of morons enabled the butchering of that reporter. 

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.
