I doubt that we will ever have another president like Donald Trump in our lifetimes.

Some Congresspeople are concerned about what might happen with future presidents if Donald Trump is permitted to get away with his criminal conduct?

Hopefully, the American people will never elect another president so lacking in principles and scruples as Donald J Trump.

The question at hand is, what to do with a president that is breaking the laws and defying the Constitution at this time? That is what will determine how presidents might act in the future?

Ronald Reagan's team broke the law repeatedly.

Bush Jr's team broke the law repeatedly.

I am seeing a pattern here.

The GOP has shown a willingness since 1968 to break the laws to hold power.

And the US corporate media has shown a willingness to pretend that these incidents are no big deal.

And none of them denounced the United States in favor of Putin.

But the evidence shows that the GOP, the self described Party of law and order, ignores the law in pursuit of power.

The US corporate controlled media is only interested in ratings and the advertising revenue associated with high ratings.

IF what is right and just prevails...IF Trump is either impeached or voted out...I think that will kill off the Republican brand for the rest of this generation.

If McConnell's Republicans "fully exonerate" him...IF he actually gets re-elected...well, I don't even want to go there.

Sometimes you have to trust the universe to take out the trash.
