  7. To a world at a loss as to how to handle Trump, I say this: the only answer may be to wait him out

    As for the supposed constraints of #Congress & #SupremeCourt, they have been all but inert & the world can only watch and wait. Both have been cowed by #Trump

    This year’s #midterm #elections must alter this

    They will almost surely deliver #Democrat majority, leading to #congressional #vetoes on “emergency powers” & possible #impeachment ...

And the attack has come in the middle of talks between #Tehran & #Washington. The facts are clear. This is an #illegal #war, both in terms of US #law & #international #statutes."

  11. Democrats look to Tejano music star Bobby Pulido in a high-stakes South Texas congressional race

    PHARR, Texas -- Latin Grammy winner Bobby Pulido's music fills the air well before he walks into an adult day care center to round up support for his congressional campaign, his voice crooning in Spanish from a speaker in the...

  12. After Pam #Bondi's appalling performance in #Congressional hearings, I have seen a number of people wishing her various kinds of harm. Some I understand, others I don't.

    Most obviously, #prison #rape. This is something a lot of people who should know better seem to think is an appropriate punishment for sex crimes. There are about a million reasons why this is wrong, and I'll go into them if anyone wants.

    TL;DR: if you wish rape on anyone, for any reason, you are bad person. You may be a good person in other ways, but in this particular way you are scum. Either do better, or own it—just don't pretend righteousness. I'm genuinely baffled by how people I call friends don't understand this.

    Nor do I want her, or any of #Trump's coterie of crooks, #assassinated or #lynched. I'm more sympathetic to those wishes, but just no. Every revolution in history has been, in every sense, a bloody mess.

    What I want is for We The People, in accordance with the #Constitution and the United Staes Code, to #impeach, arrest, try, and convict every one of them for the numerous crimes of which everyone knows they're guilty, and then sentence them to prison for life without possibility of parole.

    I want us to show the world that we can, legally and correctly, clean up our own mess.

    And all that said ... I do hope when Bondi is led, stunned and baffled, down the concrete corridor to her final home, that just before the cell door slams shut, a guard whispers to her, "It's okay, Pam. The Dow is doing *great*!"

  19. If you are an #American citizen, I consider it your DUTY to contact your local #representatives, #senators, congresspersons, and demand that Articles of #Impeachment be drawn and immediately be presented for a vote against #President #Trump for the illegal, un-#constitutional and un-American removal of a #dictator of another #country ( #Venezuela ) without a #Congressional Declaration of #War, as only #Congress may declare war as is stated in Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of our #Constitution:

    [The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water; . . .

    (reference - constitution.congress.gov/brow )

    Here is how you can find the phone number to your representatives:

    usa.gov/elected-officials

    CALL them. Don't e-mail them. Don't mail them. Don't fill out their online forms. CALL them. Talk to them on the phone directly, or visit their local offices and meet with them in person. This needs to happen immediately, as soon as possible.

    Because we all know, whether you're on the #right or the #left that one of Trump's greatest talents is in DELAYING our #legal system.

    There is no more room for delay. This President needs to be not only impeached for this action, but removed from office, as soon as possible.

    This is the last straw, a direct circumvention of the separation of powers, and a direct violation of our constitution, and his own #Oath of Office.
