IMPEACHING DONALD TRUMP: LET ME COUNT THE WAYS. PART 5.


Donald Trump

Before I get back to the reasoning behind the necessity to Impeach DONALD TRUMP, AND WHY HE DESERVES TO BE REMOVED FROM THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT, IT'S NECESSARY TO CLEAR UP SOME MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE PROCESS. IN THIS WAY WE CAN IDENTIFY FALSE AND MISLEADING INFORMATION THAT WILL COME FROM THOSE WHO SEEK TO PROTECT DONALD TRUMP,  SO THAT THEY CAN PRESERVE AND EXPAND FASCIST IDEOLOGY ACROSS ALL BRANCHES OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. IN OTHER WORDS, A LEGACY OF HATE.

IMPEACHMENT, on any level, be it President, Congressman, Judge etc, is not part of our JUSTICE SYSTEM. Our System of Laws, be it CRIMINAL OR CIVIL, does not address the Concept Of  IMPEACHMENT. THE FINDERS OF FACT are not Judges or Juries, but the MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. IT IS THEY WHO EVALUATE THE ACTIONS AND BEHAVIORS OF THE INDIVIDUAL FACING POSSIBLE IMPEACHMENT, AND IF THE FACTS SUPPORT IT, A VERDICT THAT LEADS TO REMOVAL FROM OFFICE.

The BILL OF RIGHTS has nothing to do with IMPEACHMENT. CONCEPTS such as DUE PROCESS, MIRANDA RIGHTS, TRIAL BY JURY, BURDEN OF PROOF, DOUBLE JEOPARDY etc, that are part of our SYSTEM OF LAWS, ARE NOT PART OF THE PROCESS OF IMPEACHMENT. ANYONE WHO CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE IS EITHER IGNORANT OF THE SUBJECT MATTER, INCOMPETENT, OR LYING.

NPR BREAKING NEWS: ELIZABETH WARREN AND MEDICARE FOR ALL.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she can fund "Medicare for All" without raising taxes on the middle class. Instead, among other things, she would boost the wealth tax on the ultra-rich that she has promoted on the campaign trail.
Warren had promised at a recent debate that she would not sign a bill that raises health care costs for the middle class. Under a plan released Friday morning, the Massachusetts senator and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate goes further: Middle class Americans would no longer pay health premiums or copays and would also not pay any new taxes to replace those costs. However, they would pay taxes on whatever extra take-home pay they would receive in this new system.
However, she will boost what had been a 3% wealth tax on people with more than a billion dollars to 6%. Her plan would also have employers pay higher taxes to the government, which she says would replace what they currently pay toward private health insurance.
Warren is proposing $20.5 trillion in new federal spending under the proposal.
Altogether, Warren's plan says that total national health costs would not go up under the single-payer health proposal. Rather, all of the estimated $52 trillion in health spending over a decade would be paid via the federal government.

While middle class Americans would no longer pay health premiums or copays under Elizabeth Warren's proposal and would also not pay any new taxes to replace those costs, they would pay taxes on whatever extra take-home pay might result.

A MESSAGE FOR THE DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED FOR AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY INTO DONALD TRUMP.


I GUESS HONOR AND DUTY CAN STILL BE FOUND IN THE HALLS OF CONGRESS. 

YOUR DECISION TO HOLD OUR CORRUPT PRESIDENT ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS, AND IGNORING THE DRIVEL SPOUTED BY HIS LACKEYS, MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE TRUE NATURE OF DONALD TRUMP: AN AMORAL OPPORTUNIST WHO CARES LITTLE FOR THE WELL BEING OF THE AVERAGE AMERICAN CITIZEN. 



America, Corruption, Corrupt, Political

THE ELECTION FRAUD THAT GAVE HIM THE WHITE HOUSE, AND THE "EMPTY ASSERTIONS" THAT ARE BEING USED TO JUSTIFY THE BOGUS RESULTS OF THE 2016 ELECTION, SHOW US THAT FASCISM IN THE U.S. IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL FOR SOME AMERICANS. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY HAVE FOUND WILLING ALLIES AMONG POLITICIANS WHO CARE FOR NOTHING BUT THE THREE Ps:

 POWER.                    PRIVILEGE.                PRESTIGE.
Donald Trump, President, Wheel, Fortune


TO HOUSE SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI: 
YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES HAVE CREATED AN OPEN FORUM TO EXPOSE TRUMP AND HIS CORRUPT SYCOPHANTS, WHO BELIEVE THE CONSTITUTION IS NOTHING MORE THAN A PIECE OF PAPER THAT CAN BE FOLLOWED OR IGNORED, DEPENDING ON THE SELF-CENTERED WHIMS OF CORRUPT POLITICIANS.

THE EYES OF HISTORY ARE ON YOU, ME, AND ALL  AMERICANS  WHO
REJECT TYRANNY IN ANY FORM.

Sunset, Family, Sea, Dusk, Sun, Vacation

REMEMBER THE WORDS OF HOWARD A. WALTER.

I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
I would be pure, for there are those who care;
I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;
I would be brave, for there is much to dare.


NPR BREAKING NEWS: House Passes Resolution Formalizing Impeachment Inquiry.

The House of Representatives voted Thursday 232-196 to pass a resolution formalizing its impeachment inquiry into President Trump. Just two Democrats voted no — Reps. Collin Peterson of Minnesota and Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey.
Amid the debate, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called it a "sad day."
"It's a sad day because nobody comes to Congress to impeach a president of the United States. No one," she told reporters. "We come here to do the work, make the future better for our children, for America's future. We take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, and that's what we cannot ignore and will not ignore when the president's behavior indicates that that investigation, that inquiry, is necessary."
House Democrats released a draft version of the resolution, which outlines the next steps of the inquiry, on Tuesday. The resolution authorizes the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee to conduct open hearings and allows the president and his attorneys to cross-examine witnesses.
The resolution also directs the House committees leading the inquiry to report their findings to the House Judiciary Committee, which will decide whether to recommend moving forward with articles of impeachment.
In her press conference ahead of the vote, Pelosi pushed back on Republican claims that the process is a "sham" and unfair to the president. The procedures in the resolution are "very transparent and open," she said, "giving more privileges to the president and his argument than were given in the past."
Republican leadership after the vote slammed what they called a "Soviet-style process." House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy asserted, "There's nothing the president did to be impeached."
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., noted that not only did all Republicans voted against the resolution, but so did two Democrats. "The House deserves better, the people of this country deserve better. We should be tackling real problems," he said, arguing that Pelosi is "infatuated" with impeachment.
Immediately after the vote, Trump tweeted, "The Greatest Witch Hunt In American History!" Press secretary Stephanie Grisham called the proceedings "illegitimate."
"The President has done nothing wrong, and the Democrats know it," she said in a statement.
Witnesses continue to testify behind closed doors in the inquiry, which centers on whether Trump improperly pressed Ukraine — including by withholding military aid — to conduct investigations that would help him politically.
Thursday's witness, Trump's Russia director Tim Morrison, is set to leave the National Security Council, as NPR first reported. On Wednesday, two State Department officials spoke with House investigators about their work on U.S.-Ukraine issues and the role of Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani in Ukraine policy.
Lawmakers also heard this week from Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who testified about repeatedly raising concerns to his superiors about Trump's demands that Ukraine investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Vindman also told lawmakers that he feared Ukraine complying with the president's demands would lead to the loss of bipartisan support and would "undermine U.S. national security."
