Partisanship over people. This bullsh*t makes me sick.
Members of Congress who favor partisanship over Constitutional duties should tried for treason. Im sick of this. When a President / Administration breaks laws… like the * administration so obviously has, it is the DUTY of Congress, as outlined in the Constitution, to remove him from office. And I quote “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” I reiterate… “SHALL be removed“. Not may, not might, not could, but SHALL. And just so theres no confusion, lets define the word… shall we?

Shall (shl) aux.v
Used before a verb in the infinitive to show:
a. Something that will take place or exist in the future: We shall arrive tomorrow.
b. Something, such as an order, promise, requirement, or obligation: You shall leave now. He shall answer for his misdeeds.
c. The will to do something or have something take place: I shall go out if I feel like it.
d. Something that is inevitable: That day shall come.

Grey area? Not even close. Yet while any reasonable interpretation of the impeachment clause, as well as historical applications thereof, lead to the irrefutable fact that *co. MUST collectively face impeachment… our republican laden Congress sits idly by and does nothing. In an act that effectively defies all logic, Congress REFUSES to do its job. Favoring individual political agenda even to the extent that they will allow our country to REPEATEDLY fall victim to the devastating consequences of an inept, incompetent, deceitful administration. Meanwhile, the American people are so accustomed to this repulsive level of corruption and complete lack of morality, that we simply accept our Congress’ despicable failures as business-as-usual.

Its a disgrace.

When our government is corrupt to the point of inoperability,
When our congress can blatantly disregard its duties,
When a criminal is allowed to retain control of our country,
When the interest of this country is IGNORED by those who have sworn to protect it,
Our government has not only FAILED us, but is guilty of crimes against us.

We MUST find a recourse.
Someone? ANYONE?

1. It is how they bully people into silence. Then they control more and
silence some more people.
