The "Yes" Men. Will Trump's America end in 'firing squads'?

[UCmeNdc]

Congressional hearings about Donald Trump’s attempts to extort Ukraine into helping him in the 2020 presidential election on his behalf have concluded, at least for now.These weeks of public and private hearings on the Ukraine scandal have established that Donald Trump and senior members of his administration, including Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and others, were involved in this plot. Documents released last Friday through a FOIA lawsuit provide further evidence of the scale of the Trump’s regime abuse of power and other high crimes and misdemeanors.

These hearings have also shown that Trump used his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and other operatives to conduct shadow diplomacy as part of the Ukraine scandal. It seems clear they advanced Trump’s political interests (and likely their own financial interests as well) over the interests of the United States and the American people.

1. His recent warrior rhetoric, is deeply disturbing.

He is building an army of deplorables. The fact that he is bringing Gallagher onto the campaign should concern everyone.

2. Unfortunately, Yes or something similar. Tis

the nature of man and people and countries to fight, unfortunately. The American Exceptionalism myth is so pervasive and ridiculous. Plato thought rule best suited for a philosopher king- however, a satisfactory one could never be found. Thus we fight and enjoy our maya.

3. This:

Nov. 3 is coming. We have the power, it’s our country, we own it. We own our government. We should act like owners. What we’re seeing in Donald Trump, who is just the symptom of deeper problems, is the wages of 40 years of people renting out their interest in the government, saying, “Let somebody else take care of it. We’re going to behave like renters.” We can’t do that if we want to be a free people. The American people must be civically engaged.
