Lets not kid ourselves, the country is in dire straits..

Never have we had such a war on the checks and balances of our government.

Now at the pinnacle of the shift away from the founders vision, the Republicans reinforced the orange ones curtanty that he could indeed do the shooting on 5th ave and walk away..

with the recent "caught in the act" and beating the rap charade held by the republicans, in which the most common remark was, "yes, he broke the law, but I do not think he should be removed".. Far from teaching him a lesson as was voiced by senators, this act of a pat on the back has made the made orange revenger that much more of a detriment to the nation..

so why keep him for any reason. the only thing he brings with certainty is the demise of this country..

Any one of any political persuasion would be vastly better then one who works only for his own enrichment and personal gain..

Since Republicans refused to remove Trump, he has not been ‘taught a lesson’ as people like Senator Collins said he would. He has been emboldened, realizing that there are no longer checks to his power and he doesn’t need to pretend that there are:

He has fired Vindman, his brother, and Sondland in direct retaliation for their t***hful witness testimony against him
He has directed the justice department to interfere in the sentencing of Roger Stone, a Trump ally who was convicted for e******n i**********e
He has targeted New York for allowing i*****l i*******ts to get drivers licences by banning them from all travel programs, despite other states having similar options for immigrants
These are but the start of what a ‘Trump without limits’ will be doing for as long as he remains in office.

What have Republicans done in response?

Absolutely nothing.

My point isn’t I’m 100% certain that Republicans will never stand up to Trump.

My point is that no one can say with 100% certainty that they ever will.

The problem is the Democrat House thinks it runs the Executive Branch. If Trump committed all theses crimes why was he not charged with one in the Articles of Impeachment?

Because he didn't break any laws or commit a crime. The stupidity of those who say he did is staggering.

He gutted the CDC, especially the ones who handle p******cs. As usual, trump has no clue what they do. We the people have to suffer because of his stupidity. Now he is grabbing billions to throw at it because the stock market is down, another thing that he does not admit.

We are learning about this v***s as we speak and Trump is not hindering it one bit. As for suffering, we the people lose between 30,000 and 40,000 each and every year due to flu and pneumonia v***ses. That is each and every year in the US alone. Your attempts to politicize something like this is not surprising as Trump stands a great chance of beating your "non-candidates" in 2020. Are those deaths also his fault? Y'all continue to be desperate and display levels of stupidity which, as I have said repeatedly, stagger the mind!!

the level of hiding is fantastic among the orange crowd..

What you say about the flu is undisputed.. very true..

then you say that the new desease may not be as bad so lets not do anything about it.. that is such a common reply to so many problems.. the right always seems to hold that it is not the most deadly, lets forget about it.. GOSH...

Then you miss the two obvious points..

ONe.... trump for no reason at all chooses to lie about the disease/market..

But the main point... TA DA..is that trump has cut funding for the very organizations we now need the most..

Both the CDC and the organization which is most focused on the coming and probable p******c..

And yet not a word of his culpably by any of the orange cult.. and never expect any acknowledgment of responsibility by the orange mistake himself..

The Guardian is half the problem with you "sky is falling" fanatics. Health organizations communicate and work in concert. Did this article in the Trump hating guardian mention that when fully staffed and funded and "run by the gov" well over 30,000 people lost their lives to the flu in the US alone??? No it didn't.With that kind of success I'd say it's time to shift the weight of the efforts to some place where is might be effective. By the way, it is you l*****ts who are steering away from v******tions inviting the return of diseases like polio, measles and pertussis.

You want to stop the spread of diseases, don't let the government be the one to try.

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

I did not say don't do anything about it, I said stop letting government be the one doing something about it. With government running things, look at the death toll for flu that I have given you. And that is JUST the flu.

This is obviously not something Trump related and yet y'all want to make it something Trump related, as always. No doubt when this bug goes away yhou will attribute it to Obama. LOLOL!!!!

This is just more crap y'all are flinging on the wall and looking for it to stick. Nothing more.

Your rampant disinformation, partisan news sources and social media's tsunami of f**e news is no basis on which to inform the American public in 2020.

moldyoldy

There are hundreds of sources to choose from.
The flu mutates every year, which requires the development of a new treatment.

Well, no $hit,Sherlock.

Today's world is way different from the one which gave rise to the CDC. Molecular biology has gone private and public all at the same time. Our ability to manufacture fast v*****es has improved a thousand fold if not more so. For these air born v***ses it is all we can do to produce an effective v*****e as quickly as possible. In fact, gov involvement actually slows the process via regulations which don't seem to be as necessary as they once were.
