Keep up the legal pressures on all fronts, state and federal. Call out his continued racist/sexist/miscogynistic speech and behaviors. Examine his financial empire down to the last penny. Justice is playing the long game.
The resident, unlike Ike or JFK does not have bipartisan support and the GOP is the minority partyand must use all the political tricks to stay in power … a temporary generational advantage that will go away in the next few elections unless the GOP starts becoming inclusive instead of exclusive.
In trump’s opinion, laws are for suckers. And so far, Republicans, the base and in many ways Speaker Pelosi are letting him get away with it.
Impeachment may not politically expedient, but I think it is necessary. Student’s studying this period will keep raising their hands in class and asking how we could let trump get away with this when his malfeasance was so plain and abundant.
Donald Trump using Adolf Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ playbook,
says world expert on Nazi leader
President’s ‘views come out of a playbook written in German’ says author
— ‘the playbook is Mein Kampf’
Charlotte England @charlottengland Wednesday 8 February 2017 – Independent
A leading expert on the Nazi party has said there are similarities between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler.
Both men “bluffed” their way into power, confounding an establishment that did not know what to do but normalise them, according to author Ron Rosenbaum.
The Adolf Hitler biographer said he had refused to compare Mr Trump to the Nazi leader during the campaign period for fear of trivialising genocide, but after the election things changed.
“Now Trump and his minions are in the driver’s seat, attempting to pose as respectable participants in American politics, when their views come out of a playbook written in German,” said Mr Rosenbaum, who wrote Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil.
“Hitler used the tactics of bluff masterfully, at times giving the impression of being a feckless Chaplinesque clown, at other times a sleeping serpent, at others yet a trustworthy statesman," Mr Rosenbaum said.
“The Weimar establishment didn’t know what to do, so they pretended this was normal. They ‘normalised’ him.”
As part of this normalisation — a phenomenon Mr Rosenbaum said also happened with Mr Trump — Hitler and the Nazi party were allowed back onto electoral lists — in an act of “democracy destroying itself democratically”.
“Hitler’s method was to lie until he got what he wanted, by which point it was too late," Mr Rosenbaum said, adding there is no comparison between Hitler and Mr Trump in terms of scale. But, he said, it was important to see that, like Hitler, Mr Trump is “defining mendacity down” by normalising lies and lowering expectations of truthfulness.
A Donald Trump-supporting Republican running against Ilhan Omar for Congress in 2020 is accused of shoplifting hundreds of items from stores in Minnesota, according to reports.
Danielle Stella, the 31-year-old candidate for the Midwest state, is believed to have been charged with felony theft after getting arrested at a branch of Target in the suburbs of Minneapolis.
The Republican is accused of stealing 279 items worth just over $2,300 (£1,850) from the popular retailer in January, and attempting to rob a bottle of tick spray for cats at a nearby grocery store in April.
The House Oversight Committee voted along party lines Thursday to authorize subpoenas for personal emails and texts used for official business by top White House aides, including Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner.
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., the panel’s chairman, said the committee has obtained “direct evidence” that the president’s daughter, Kushner and other top aides were using personal accounts for official business in violation of federal law and White House policy.
“What we do not yet know is why these White House officials were attempting to conceal these communications,” Cummings said, adding that the White House has refused to produce a single piece of paper this year in response to the investigation.
Numerous presidents, mostly Republicans actually, have destroyed other countries, or at least their governments. Bonespurs is the first determined to destroy THIS COUNTRY, the land, and the government.
For a nobody, he sure is making a lot of waves and generating a lot of pain. IMO, Anybody would be a better president. Do you suppose we can draft them?

Wanna know why Trump is attacking Cummings now?
He has access to Ivanka’s e-mails.
