WASHINGTON—To borrow a phrase from the late Laura Nyro, Colleen Boland has a lot of patience, and that’s a lot of patience to lose. Every day for the past month or so, she has gathered with another group of people in the lobby of the Hart Senate Office Building as part of Swarm The Senate, an act of moral witness and a general lobbying force in favor of removing El Caudillo del Mar-a-Lago from office.

Boland also has joined with Jane Fonda in her weekly Friday climate protests up the street in front of the Capitol. Colleen Boland has been arrested three times in as many weeks, which is not something one might expect from a master sergeant in the United States Air Force who retired after 17 years in the service.

“When you have exhausted all other avenues to find the voice of reason within our government, it’s a time-honored tradition and effective tool,” she said. “Not everyone can do it, and I know I come to it from a place of privilege of being able to do it. But for those who are called to it, it’s not only empowering for me at a time of great frustration and personal fear, it allows me to feel like I’m doing something.”

Frankly, I don’t understand why there aren’t a few thousand of Colleen Boland in Washington this week. Frankly, I don’t know what it’s going to take to get an anesthetized citizenry off its ass and realize what a threat the country is facing in having a criminal i***t as a chief executive, a guy who has put every part of the republic up for sale, and for cheap. (The latest? In the middle of a trade war with China, the president*’s business operation was teaming up with a state-owned Chinese company to build a golf course.)

I, myself, have run out of patience with people who can abide this dangerous foolishness—whether those people are elected Republican senators, timid Democratic politicians, wishy-washy journalists, or the great, massed, unmoving American public, which now has proved that it will tolerate just about anything except sign-stealing in baseball and a bad decision on The Bachelor.

Last week, senators took an oath—and signed for it—that many of them have no intention of keeping. Colleen Boland understands oaths. She had to take one in order to do her former job.

“I can speak to what my oath means now,” she says. "I understand those words much more seriously now that we have to defend against all enemies foreign and domestic. Many of my friends never dreamed a day when we would have to come home and employ that domestic piece. One could never imagine the time when we would. I never gave it a second thought. I mean, I got the foreign piece. But domestic enemies?

"We’re still talking to senators. My call to them is that Trump is a national security threat. He’s a global security threat. When I was in the military, I was posted to 30 countries so I saw first-hand what violence can do, what scarcity of water can do, what scarcity of food can do. He is endangering all of that in huge ways.”

And so the retired master sergeant rejoined the corporal’s guard in the lobby of the Hart Building, hoping to get a word with the senators who were hustling across the street to play their part in what was rapidly being rendered a charade for the entertainment of a republic sleepwalking toward a fathomless abyss.

===============
The GOP's and conservatives are peace loving people. They have high morals and ethics used when they want to bring attention to Congress or to the representatives of the people, or to the WH. We are civilized people. We behave with civility and respect, because we are civilized.

On the contrary, the RADICAL DEMS like you when you protest use violence and chaos that physically hurt and attack the supporters of president Trump. This is lead by Maxine Waters, and her armies are the i*****l a***ns, A****A, B*M, MSGANG13, drug addicts, and the rests of violent radical democrat c*******t like AOC, OMAR, Tlaib, the radical DEMS in Congress like Adam Schitt and Nadler.

Of course as a radical c*******t supporter, you cause violence, that include you with your big mouth, with many of the liberal c*******t supporters here at OPP.

Every president in our history has, to one degree or other, abused his power and obstructed congress. These are the charges brought against our president, they are ill-defined, unsupported with facts, devoid of reason, and would never be admissible in a normal court of law.

Back in 1787, during the Constitutional Convention, one of the most hotly debated issues was the removal of federal government officials through the impeachment process. The removal of a president (and other certain officers) was not a trivial matter. Two Virginians, George Mason and James Madison, had a rather intense debate over what should constitute grounds for removing a president from office.

Treason and Bribery were a given, and Mason proposed adding the idea of "maladministration". Madison immediately pointed out that "maladministration" was so vague that it would threaten the separation of powers. Congress could remove any president it disagreed with on grounds of “maladministration.” This would give Congress complete power over the executive.

Madison proposed replacing the idea of "maladministration" with "high Crimes and Misdemeanors".

In Federalist No. 65, Hamilton explained impeachment. He defined impeachable offenses as “those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or in other words from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.” The impeachment process is political in nature, not criminal. Congress has no power to impose criminal penalties on impeached officials.

Now, read carefully how they worded the impeachment clause (Article 1, Section 4, US Constitution):

shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or OTHER high Crimes and Misdemeanors. The word "OTHER" means that any and all high Crimes and Misdemeanors are as serious as Treason and Bribery and must be held to the same standard.

What the Pelosi/Schitt/Nadler crime cabal has done, without following the Article V process for amending the Constitution, is they have shamelessly, brazenly, illegally amended Article 1, Section 4, of the US Constitution and lowered the bar to "maladministration" - and in the eyes of l*****t progs, the fact that President Trump is still alive is "maladministration".

And, the same people who headed those shameful investigations in the HOR, are now managers in the senate trial. Today, the pencil necked POS from Commufornia had the freaking gaul to stand there in the senate chambers and dictate to the senators how the trial should be run. He lied, and he lied, and he lied again as once more he described the manufactured evidence for articles of impeachment.

What we are witnessing today, folks, is a mob of maladjusted malcontents and ideological i***ts who actually believe that congress has plenary power over the Executive branch and that congress is running the country.
