Standard highschool-civics and college-courses have ALways emphasized that our Constitution’s main genius is in its “checks-and-balances” via its “separated powers”. … Founding Father James Madison wrote that “The accumulation of all powers…in the same hands [is the] very definition of tyranny” {see his “Federalist #47” at f’rinstance http://www.constitution.org/fed/federa47.htm }.
Our military has over 730 installations around the world outside of the US. I live by an army depot with thousands of vehicles, each costing $100K, rotting away. But, yet again, our supreme leadership wants to increase the defense budget beyond its already burgeoning 52%.
Reagan stated “Government IS the problem.” Every Republican administration since has set out to prove it. Trump has done this in spades, assigning to every departement someone determined to destroy it, and all government functions. Having spent 32 years saving lives, property, and our environment as a government employee, this is the ultimate disgusting action of an idiot, appointed by the “college”, and losing the popular vote by the largest margin ever for someone only getting the “electoral college” win. Ignorance has won this election, in partnership with outright stupidity.
Crazy Trump, the republican traitor in the White House, now giving away our classified secrets to our enemies, his best friends the Russians. So why wait to impeach the loose cannon?

Even when the Rump is removed, the repubs will still have their way.

A PRAYER TO CONGRESS – {a rhyme}
A prayer to Congress: – Thee we beseech
that thou goest ahead and The Donald impeach.
Forsooth, – too much doth this president breach.
Forsooth, – too much doth he over-reach.
He bleedeth our nation as doth the leech.

NO LONGER BLESSED – {1.60 limericks} {extra points that all 8 lines rhyme}
Excuse it that I’m so obsessed
with our gummint’s being so messed
by the crap from this pest
which fouls our nest.
America’s no longer blessed; -
- au contraire, we’re stressed,
by Trump oppressed.
He oughta be under arrest.

Tyranny, despotism, anarchy. All run by greed and lack of integrity. Gee, pretty depressing ain’t it?

Then what happens? Rich people pay no taxes, wars are started, the national debt triples, ketchup becomes a vegetable . . .

Then you lie cheat and steal until it explodes in your face and you have lost all credibility. In other words, republican business as usual.

So he laughs with delight and steps forward to collect another soul—only to find it long gone; replaced by blind ambition at any cost.

You’ve heard about “power to the people”? This seems to be about “power, NOT the people”.

BTW: “autocorrect” (like cell phones and “self driving” cars) is proof that technology has made people dumber, and our machines as well!

Subpoena the tapes of Trump’s Russian meeting in the White House, lets hear what really happened.

If Hillary was suspected of giving classified info to the Russians the republicans would be screaming “Jail her!” or worse.
