We cannot envision a coup happening in America. Trump openly called for his DOJ to arrest of his enemies. We shrugged.
That can’t happen here, we think. This is the path of most failed democracies.
Trump is calling for a coup.
The New York Times got a copy of Trump’s tax returns. Besides being a tax cheat, Trump has payments of half a billion dollars due in the next few years. That’s why Trump hides behind the Presidency so hard.
As dangerous as Trump is to democracy, and as violently as he acts out for the cameras, I worry about the Republican silence. Is there any crime or corruption they won’t quietly accept? Whether they’re cowards or the party of imbecilic compliance, we need to vote them out of office up and down the ticket.
We’re weeks away from falling into an economic crash. Vast swaths of retail are closing or “Going Out of Business!” But because stocks are up, McConnell is blocking any action.
Anyone promising the old normal is lying. We can’t go back, not ever and especially not soon. The COVID-19 pandemic has already changed how we work, how we eat, how we socialize, sports, shopping, restaurants, travel, parties, weddings, funerals, everything. It’s silly to pretend otherwise. The oligarchs are liars willing to spend your lives for their comfort.
Trump calls for unchecked power. His supporters cheer and talk about needing assault rifles against the government. And we make excuses. He attacks impartial justice, and they agree. Stop pretending they’re not calling for the end of the American experiment.
President Trump’s Senate trial has started, and Sen. McConnell has already declared the result. Bad start.
Listening to the impeachment vote in the House, I hear a lot of reasons not to impeach Trump. Acting dreadfully is appalling, but it is not impeachable. We need to be scrupulously honest, especially when the impeachment charges are so damning.
