Deciding Whether To Impeach

ON MY REAR BUMPER is an "Unfit to serve: IMPEACH TRUMP" bumper sticker. It has a small wrinkle, because if you don't get it on right the first time, you don't get another chance. Maybe my hand was shaking with anticipation. But the message is clear, and that's what matters. Ironically, I personally am not on any impeachment crusade; I don't much care whether he's impeached, so long as whatever's done is done justly. My view is that, if left to his own devices, if left in office, the president will inevitably self destruct, and will take down his followers and their agenda with him. then too, I believe in giving people a chance, and to avoid falling into the trap of automatically disagreeing with everything the president does merely because you dislike him, which is the tragic, evil trap that Obama hating racists fell so deeply into. Leave well enough alone; may he tweet to his heart's content. Same with all the other crazy stuff; let the light shine on it, and see where the weird right wing America first agenda takes its supporters. Some leftist anti-Trump online entity offered me a free bumper sticker, and I jumped on the chance. My hope is that it will deter good, honest, conservative republicans, who by now must surely be embarrassed, from following too closely. Does Trump deserve to be impeached. Should he be, even as we speak? Stay tuned. If the Mueller investigation exposes collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians, whether or not trump claims to have known about it, the answer is "yes". Soon enough we'll know, one way or another. So what about other possible grounds for impeachment? Stormi, and all she "implies", seems like a possibility. Trump's various conflicts of interest related to overseas businesses are strictly unconstitutional, according to Richard Painter, the world's leading authority on such matters. Then too, there is the "minor matter" of obstruction of justice, as detailed by Former FBI Director Mr. Comey in his book, now being released. But above all else, is the little discussed fact that, according to the Department of Defense, aka "the Pentagon", the greatest threat to American national security is.....man made climate change. According to the D.O.D. which, at last check was a credible source. and yet, nobody who believes in climate change is allowed to work in the Trump administration, and the Trump administration is doing nothing to deal with what is the greatest threat to our national security. For the president of the United States to deny the existence of the greatest enemy it has is....impeachable? Arguably. It almost begins to seem as if it will require extraordinary effort by the president to retain his office. But again, we'll soon see...
