I have seen men destroyed by the “Me too” movement, yet we have a man who is openly a misogynist. Who brags about grabbing women with impunity, and has amassed over 25 sexual harassment allegations, and nothing is done. A man who has insinuated that he would like to date his own daughter.

Every one of his cabinet appointments has gone to individuals who stand to profit by their mismanagement of the Department they were selected to operate. He has pulled this country out of the Paris Accord that was attempting to make some progress over the deterioration of our climate. He ended the Iranian Nuclear Agreement. An agreement that was working. He has abandoned our Middle East allies, the Kurds, to whatever fate the Turks decide is appropriate.

He has taken credit for an economy that had low unemployment and steady growth in its financial markets. It was not his policies that initiated that growth. He is a master at usurping credit from those who actually deserve it. He attempted to coerce the leader of Japan to nominate him for the Nobel Peace prize, and he even inquired about whether or not he could award himself the Congressional Medal of Honor. (I know some say he was joking, but as a former Marine officer, that is not something we joke about.)

He has emboldened white nationalists sentiments in this country. He has insulted almost every institution this country has to maintain peace and order both domestically and internationally. He has questioned the veracity of the FBI. He has accepted foreign assessments over U.S. Intelligence agencies. He has alienated our historic allies in NATO. He has negotiated in private with what many consider to be our most dangerous adversaries. He has openly personally profited from his position as President and allowed his family members to do likewise.

He has stripped over 13 million Americans of their health insurance. He has imprisoned prekindergarten children in cages more suitable for animals. He has openly ordered his supporters to commit contempt of Congress violations by ordering them to defy legal subpoenas.

He is the only President to refuse to make public his tax returns. His vocabulary and speech patterns are horrendous. His constant insults directed towards anyone he views as an adversary is reminiscent of a schoolyard taunt at an elementary school. His constant attacks on the media are beyond tiresome. It is simply amazing that the idea of “fake news” never gained traction under any other politician. They must all have been waiting for Donald Trump. Even Fox is not immune from his ire.

He brags about his acumen as a businessman, but any indepth examination of his financial dealings leads to serious questions about his actual wealth. There is a reason why no U.S. banks will do business with any Trump enterprise. Trump has admitted to filing bankruptcy 5 times and declaring over a billion dollar loss on his taxes.

I am so tired of constantly turning on the TV to learn about what new indiscretion that this man has managed to commit. I am totally bewildered as to how or why he has a base that willingly stands behind him and defends his transgressions. His Trump University, his sale of steaks on the internet, his failure to pay hardworking subcontractors, his scheme to sell Trump ties (made in China), are all attempts to rip off uninformed consumers of their hard earned money.

I have now watched a litany of retired military officers begin to sound the alarm about this charlatan. They are a bipartisan group. They include Gen. Mattis, Gen. Kelly, Adm. McRaven, and Gen. Colin Powell. You would think that even the most entrenched conservatives would pay attention to these decorated heroes, but you would be wrong.

I do not know what it is going to take for Americans to realize that we have a Manchurian candidate occupying the White House. I get it that many disliked the fact that Mr. Obama was a black man occupying the White House, and that your lily white sentiments were offended. But to endorse unquestionably a person who very likely might be colluding with Russian oligarchs and the Saudi Royal family is bordering on insanity.

Wished you cared for the Logan Act as much as you love the Emoluments clause. Kerry and Pelosi violate it all the time so that's okay.

FACT: We've never had a president disrespect the U.S. Constitution more than Donald Trump.

Tell Congress to impeach this criminal president here

BUSINESSINSIDER.COM
Trump said the emoluments clause is 'phony.' But it's part of the US Constitution.


How has he disrespected the Constitution? I clearly don't see that to be true, if anything he wants all of the constitution upheld by all. Never has the intelligence committee ever started an impeachment inquiry, it has been the judicial committee. That is also a fact! We have never had the Democratic party have such disdain for a person that won the election for President as voted for by the people and the Constitution. Also their are so many of the Democratic contenders that seem to hate this country. Clearly what is phony it this impeachment inquiry.

TRUMP'S 10 IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES
1. Obstructing Justice

The trail of evidence starts with Trump’s attempt to get James Comey, the FBI director responsible for overseeing the investigation into Trump’s relationship with Russia during the 2016 election, to drop an investigation into National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

2. Profiting from the Presidency

The Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits the president from accepting personal benefits from any foreign government or official.

3. Collusion

In the middle of the 2016 election, Trump’s son was invited to meet with a Russian national regarding “information that would incriminate Hillary and…would be very useful to” Donald Trump. Donald Trump Jr. was told it was “part of Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump.” Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, and Campaign Chairman Paul Manafort took the meeting.

4. Advocating Political & Police Violence

When Trump gave cover to the neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville and murdered a protester, he violated his obligation to protect the citizenry against domestic violence.

5. Abuse of Power

President Trump threatened to withhold aid from Ukraine if its Prime Minister did not investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son. Using taxpayer dollars to manipulate an important ally against Russia and attack a political rival is a clear abuse of presidential power.

6. Engaging in Reckless Conduct

High-ranking administration officials involved in foreign affairs have signaled that Trump does not have the capacity to make informed decisions in the event of a military crisis.

7. Persecuting Political Opponents

President Trump has repeatedly pressured the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate and prosecute political adversaries like Hillary Clinton; now, the DOJ has cleared Clinton email investigation used in an attempt to scandalize his opponents.
This is not based in concerns with national security, law enforcement, or any other function of his office—it is an attempted power play, plain and simple.

8. Attacking the Free Press

President Trump has repeatedly attacked the concept of an independent press.
He’s called critical coverage “fake news” and journalists “the enemy of the American people,” made threats to change libel laws and revoke licenses, and his battles with CNN led him to try to interfere in the AT&T/Time Warner merger.

9. Violating Immigrants' Right to Due Process

Enforcing its new “zero tolerance” policy, the Trump administration separated as many as 3,000 immigrant children from their parents at the southern border. This policy was meant to deter families from attempting to cross the border.

10. Violating Campaign Finance Laws

Donald Trump knew disclosure of his extramarital affairs with Stephanie Clifford (A.K.A. Stormy Daniels) and Karen McDougal could hurt his chances at winning the 2016 election.
At the direction of Trump, Michael Cohen and American Media, Inc. (AMI), the publisher of the National Enquirer bought the rights to the women’s stories and forced them to sign Non-Disclosure Agreements to prevent them from going public for the purpose of protecting his campaign.

The bottom line is there is no crime. I would suggest the higher-ups in the DNC put this hoax with Mueller's. We KNOW in 2020 there will be much more violence and looting, fine. antifa, bam, blm and whoever else hasn't encountered the silent majority YET. You know you and I who made it possible for them to act as stupidly as they do.
