As far as I know... never in our history have we had a more intemperate and boorish political leader than Trump. His language and example are coarsening American public life.
Despite the President’s obstruction, additional damning evidence of his abuse of power continues to come to light.
The question is whether the Senate will demand to see these and other emails and hear from those who were involved.
Their constitutional duty demands it.
The mad emperor Caligula, whose appetite for women including his own relatives was infamous, was convinced of his own god-like status and spent treasury funds extravagantly on his residences and personal leisure. He also silenced the Senate when it would not bow down to him.
If you care about our military's honor and our country's decency, do read this piece. And all honor to the SEALs who bravely stepped forward to tell the truth. “Not compromising our integrity and keeping right on our side is all we can do.” They did it.

Impeachment of a president is a serious undertaking.
The Senate’s role is to act as an impartial jury and provide a fair trial.
Fair to the President and to the American people.
That means seeing all the evidence, documents and witnesses.
What is McConnell afraid of?
#JohnDingell didn’t grab women by the pussy
Or lie re bone-spurs; he fought in WWII
Or pay hush money to strippers
Or have convicted minions
Or suggest death penalty for 5 innocent men
Or put kids in cages
Or steal from a charity
Or get IMPEACHED
He’s not the one going to hell.

When someone takes an oath to work in the White House and earn a taxpayer-funded salary, they work for the people—not a divisive, dangerous, and hateful ideology. Stephen Miller’s views go against everything we should stand for as a country. He must be removed immediately.
My office rec’d amazing call today from Constituent who was lifelong Republican, voted for Trump but now supports me & impeachment process completely. He wanted to say thank you for opening his mind to what is happening.
GOP colleagues should learn to put country over party.

Their editorial boards have all called for impeachment.
WARNING: I cannot stress how much danger the nation is in. Russia will be dangling FSB/SVR spy-made fake documents & fake witnesses in front of Giuliani. Trump & Republicans will take it to facilitate the ultimate cheat. It’s an espionage case now. Hunt for Rudy’s Moscow agents.
By pulling out of the Paris Agreement, Trump gave up his seat at the table for global climate negotiations a long time ago.
He’s a glorified fossil fuel lobbyist sabotaging the effort to save our future.
Yet he’s not the only one - there are plenty more in our gov & abroad.
