It's truly disheartening to see how few Democrats are willing to be honest about what has happened here. Criminality of this magnitude simply cannot be ignored. Members of the Democrat party with any shred of integrity at all should be responding similarly to the way the Republican Party did once President Nixon's complicity in Watergate became obvious. The Watergate Scandal pales into insignificance when contrasted with this attempted coup.
Additionally, most Establishment Republicans are similarly ignoring the obvious and breathtakingly pervasive criminality which has taken place—if not actively participating in it themselves. In aggregate, these events represent a profound betrayal of our entire Constitutional system, with its various checks and balances. The situation literally screams for the need to fully drain the Uniparty Swamp—if not formal revolution as delineated in the Declaration of Independence.
It remains extremely frustrating to note that—thus far—virtually nobody has been held responsible, either professionally or criminally. There's simply no denying that dozens of people should go to jail for these crimes—including specifically people such as Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, and quite probably former President Obama (to name only a few).
For the time being, we must all have faith that all those involved in these criminal acts will ultimately be held responsible. For starters, these crooks have egregiously violated their respective oaths of office, and have engaged in what is essentially a coup attempt—which basically amounts to treason—among numerous other crimes—. Indeed, if these people aren't brought to Justice, then there is no Justice—and that abject failure will either result in civil war, or else the formal dissolution of the Republic, with all of its Tyrannical consequences.
America has finally arrived at a crossroads whereby the People are faced with two worldviews which are fundamentally incompatible and mutually exclusive—a state of affairs which cannot remain stable for any length of time. Anyone who doesn't understand this fact is either not paying attention, or in a profound state of denial.
My own gauge of what will happen is based on two considerations: 1) whether the GOP—which is both cowardly and almost as corrupt as the Democrats—keeps the People's House in the 2018 midterms, and 2) whether any formal indictments and prosecutions related to the coup are initiated before those elections. The outcome of those two events will go a very long way towards determining what the ultimate fate of the Trump administration—and the Republic in general—will be for at least the next few generations.
As my tagline says—and I believe it becomes more true every day:
"If the President doesn't drain the Swamp, the Swamp will drain the President."And as goes the Trump administration, so too will likely go the fate of the tens of millions of Deplorables who have placed their hopes and faith in it.
Donald J. Trump is far from a perfect vessel, but he has—in my opinion—been chosen by God for this purpose. And at this moment in time, I can't conceive of any other American who could have a better chance of 1) Draining the Uniparty Swamp, and 2) Making America Great Again. At this point, it seems very clear that the latter will never happen until the former is first accomplished.
But I digress. Anyway, kudos to the Conservative Treehouse on the critical service they are providing...
Wow, Sargon. You continue to impress.
GREAT comment! Agree totally.
