@jamesjones1962 Nor with blackmailers. The USA is being blackmailed politically by the GOP. "We want to co-operate with you, but you need to stop prosecuting us or our companies. If not, we will make life for you as hard as possible".
You can't accept that.
It is, however, with a very heavy heart that I say this. I am all for compromise and harmony, building bridges. But Justice is paramount. You can not, ever, turn a blind eye to crimes for the sake of "unity", or try to build bridges when the other party demands that you come all the way to their side.
The Trump administration has violated the Constitution in dozens of ways, if not more. The USA can not afford to turn a blind eye to that.
In relationships like marriage, you can sometimes opt to give the other party a second chance (not a third one!). But the more authority the wrongdoer has, the more critical it is to hold him/her accountable. If the POTUS gets away with a crime, any crime, the Rule of Law in the USA has failed. And that is unacceptable.

paul lochman > the riots are not peaceful protesters
Yes, you got that right!
The vast majority of protesters is completely peaceful. I have seen no proof that the rioters or looters were in fact protesters. I did see a lot of police violence against peaceful protesters. Perhaps you call that riots, but the protesters were victims there, not perpetrators.
And don't quote Faux to justify yourself. Faux has been caught with their pants down several times, photoshopping together images of peaceful protesters, flames and broken shop windows to make it seem that there were riots. If Faux says it, I am inclined to believe the opposite of what they say, because they lie even more than Dump.
For a group that says they love the constitution, you forget that the right to protest is the FIRST amendment. And thus more important to the minds of those that created it than the amendments that came after it.
Why don't we hear you hypocrites complain more about FIRST amendment rights being violated?
There is this nice principle in the Bible, that when you violate one law, you become guilty of violating the whole law. You can't be selective about which parts of the constitution to uphold. You either uphold ALL of it, or you don't uphold it at all.
Republicans have made it overly clear that all their words of upholding the constitution don't mean anything at all. You piss on the constitution, by allowing Dump to frustrate congress in its constitutional job of performing oversight over the executive. You piss on the constitution by refusing to hear witnesses during the impeachment trial. You piss on the constitution by letting federal, unmarked troops intimidate and harass protesters. You piss on the constitution by holding that the president can not be indicted for any crime, and thus placing him above the law. You piss on the constitution by supporting systemic racism. You piss on the constitution by defunding the US mail service, which by article 1.8.7 of the constitution is a federal responsibility. You piss on the constitution by letting Dump interfere with the prosecution of criminals. You piss on the constitution by letting Dump use the the DoJ to sick his enemies. You piss on the constitution by letting the president invite foreign interference in elections, live on television. You piss on the constitution by allowing Dump to withhold funds that were allocated by congress. You piss on the constitution by allowing the president to have corrupt quid-pro-quo's. You piss on the constitution by allowing Dump to intimidate witnesses, live on Twitter.
And I could go on. And on.
The GOP is morally bankrupt. Time for it to be taken out of its misery.

Personally, I can't image anyone would still support Dump. But apparently, there still are 60.000.000 people that do...
Why is this Dumpsterfire nominated to run again? Why is he not impeached and removed from office, and replaced by Mike Pence? How can so many people fall for such a known idiot, known incompetent, known threat to democracy, known violator of the constitution, known money grabber, known wannabee dictator, known fascist?
Can't you find anyone who would better represent you?
Stop the idiocy, PLEASE!
