Thank you for your honesty, I know it comes at a price. I see so many Americans just nodding along with the Republicans and spouting .nationalistic platitudes......SIZE]...

It is time to consider our situation.

What this country has today is a government not representative of the people for which it was meant to be.

This government is operated by capitalists and giant corporations who hire individuals to represent them in both areas of congress.

The Congressional corporate representatives are hired with campaign (quid pro quo donations).

ANY person who will represent the people can not get elected to Congress.

Capitalist corporate money, propaganda and paid operatives come in against that person so big he or she will switch sides just to survive in their community.

Our system has been subverted so badly it can not be changed.
Corruption rules.

Our system is similar to some of the rulers in other countries who answer to US rather than to their own people. In that way I must say there is a similarity to the roman thing. Control is not where it should be.

The people must in some way gain control of the government and place controls (limits) on the capitalists and corporations. They pull the wealth and most of the benefits of this country to themselves. This must be changed in order for the common man to maintain the opportunity to survive unoppressed into the future.

This week trump announced the squeeze on medicaid
Next will be medicare
The government can not afford that anymore ----Not enough taxes flowing into the treasury and debt is going out the roof. NEVERMIND THE BILLIONAIRES TAX CUT

That tax cut can not be taken away!!!!!!!! While the little guy tax cut is set to expire??????????in how many years????? now that was a great deal for us.

The tax cut for the corporate & rich was to keep us so poor that we can't possibly fund anything for the middle class. Beginning with medicare.

Look at corporate profits they sure needed the break. The economy had been improving for over 7 years in the previous administration.

I assume you meant to say, "my typo not withstanding."

I have a quadriplegic friend who types better with his mouth .....My laptop has a program that translates spoken word to written......maybe you can look into getting one of those......It seems like a wasted effort to keep posting these unintelligible comments.....you must read your own comments, which means you are expecting your readers to do all the work of correcting your mistakes...You obviously want us to read your writing, or you wouldn't bother. Thing is, when you first started using this ID, your writing was normal, but as soon as you were identified as Hank, you reverted to this sloppy mess......

Every American who wanted to hear witnesses now knows that the repub party does not represent him or her.
If the polls are right -----The number wanting to hear was overwhelming.
I you want to do something about it.
Remember and vote.

As I watched that shameful vote I began to think about how congress would act to reassert authority. Will they respond with some sort of censure or simply draw a line that the matter didn't rise to the level warranting removal. I don't know how you get there without censure, however, how do you censure without the courts weighing in here with respect to the subpoenas that were ignored. It is necessary to take every ignored example to court...it is in my view short of some other action, perhaps by the DOJ itself? That doesn't seem to be in the cards. But something has to happen because we cannot let this stand. Perhaps we have to wait until after election and republicans lose the senate and the presidency new laws can fix all this. I don't see any other choice. It was a huge mistake not to proceed with impeachment based on the Mueller report. The obstruction issue should have been faced then. Now we have a big mess on our hands and we live in high risk.

There is a possibility that the House could subpoena and win the battle to have those witnesses testify (IN THE HOUSE) in order to bring out the truth whatever it may be.
They could still do the battle for subpoenaed documents never received.

The Constitution must be changed to better define the rules in order to prevent another rogue president.

They should do that because it is a simple matter of right & wrong.
This country and the people deserve much more than a repub dog & pony show of lies and deceit that goes counter to anything some of my family have fought and died for.

When Rome was the greatest power on earth.. It was so simply because no State on earth was greater....Rome won the struggle......and Then had no opposition. But, for some, the struggle for power never gives up. They Never have enough

So absolute power corrupts absolutely..
When Rome turned it power struggle within itself is was doomed.

The world is unchanged in it's changing.. There are always adversaries. Barbarians at the door.. there are always new ideas to combat the old..
It's the same old story...Great powers can feed off the world...But can't feed off themselves.

Documents and witnesses...WTF wrong you people?

Success and failure to be measured by documents and witnesses?

WE don't need document and witnesses to explain what the truth is..

The evidence is there right in front your nose....The truth of it can be explained when there is nothing contrary to it..Trump has not posed a single statement contrary to the truth..But Lies...and It doesn't take a whole pack lies to prove it.. It just takes one..
The funny THING about a liar.. Who can justify himself.. Who can explain himself by simply saying... I am not lying.... everyone else is lying.
Those fricken lying Democrats is his LIE.. that explains his truth.
NO FURTHER EXPLANATION NEEDED.

You don't impeach Trump because you could then impeach any President you don't like.. You impeach Trump to prevent any president being like him.
No president will be able to NOT explain himself..Nobody has absolute immunity...No president will be able to say I am right, because I am president. No president will ever assume they are above the law.

History, and further evidence will prove that no President in our past history or in our future would be more impeachable than Trump..
For liberals there is the idea that WE get to control the president.. They are mistaken.. To be President, A president must be able to control Himself.
We get to see it..not something that occurs once in a lifetime. but something we can say... Has never been seen and will Never be seen again. People in the future will ask and wonder what it was like to live in the time of Trump. they will never be able to fully understand it..They will say how could that have been?

My point of reference is of course Hitler, I can try, but I could never understand how the German people could allow it to happen.. The power of hate, fear and frustrations..Used to promote an evil..Today I have better understanding of the German people before Hitler.... than I have ever had before..

New evidence of Trump's incompetence and criminality are going to keep coming in drips and drabs...his weird fits that look like mini strokes will become more frequent, he will continue to commit faux pas in his foreign relations and his disgusting, violent Twitter posts will reveal his growing Dementia.........etc. etc.
