All Americans should fear what happens next

[Indeependent]

Trump invited foreign interference in our Presidential election again -- the first time was in 2016. Trump tried to bribe a foreign leader. Trump completely ignored Congress during the impeachment process in the House and in his Senate trial. Trump was declared innocent of all charges by the Republican Senate.

What happens if Trump is elected to another four years in office without the concerns of reelection which dominated his persona since Jan. 21, 2017 the first time?

Senator Susan Collins is clueless. Following a speech on the Senate floor in which she announced she’ll vote to acquit, Collins told Norah O’Donnell of CBS that she believes Trump “has learned from this case” and “will be much more cautious in the future.”

Getting impeached “is a pretty big lesson,” Collins said — the implication being that Trump will be chastened going forward.

I am not at all sure which planet Collins is from or how she got elected the Senator from Maine, but she definitely is not talking about our Trump. Trump never feels chastened and he never apologizes. It is simply not in his DNA.

Want proof? On Tuesday, February 4, Trump gave his State of the Union address in the halls of Congress. His impressive audience included the members of the House of Representatives, the members of the Senate, members of the Supreme Court, and chosen representatives of the Defense Department, State Department, and other agencies of our federal government.

Before this august body and even before the Trump Republican controlled Senate allowed Trump to get off scot free from his crimes, the most divisive President in modern American history presented the Medal of Freedom to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh -- one of the most polarizing figures on the political landscape today. Limbaugh has insisted it was unfair to blame white Americans for slavery, blamed gay marriage for the decline of Christianity, and called a woman a slut for seeking coverage for contraception.

Senator Collins, does Trump seem suitably chastened to you? Trump has said there are no lessons to be learned.

Trump would be unleashed.

For four more years Trump would be the most powerful man on the planet. Already he ignores the American people. Answering only to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and "Fox and Friends," he cancelled regular press conferences and is scared to death of the White House press corps. Trump refuses to answer to the American people and now we can add Congress to the list. He will simply ignore what our representatives do and say, and he has hijacked the power of the purse, all due to a complicit Senate led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

He will rule with complete impunity for four more years (or more). That is the power the Senate gave him, and why? Because they are afraid of Trump's base.

The irony is, the GOP has already lost several key elections in 2018 and 2019 because of Trump, including control of the House.

The irony is, his base will not like what will happen. They don't want it to happen.

But they enabled it! The real Pandora's Box. Be careful what you wish for!

You’re too stupid to be allowed to use the Internet.

 

[bripat9643]

An ignorant, complacent, uneducated populace, a Congress that represents moneyed interests, a President that a majority of voters voted against and a majority of the Senate voted to impeach, 'wars' everywhere killing young citizens and costing atrocious sums...
what's to be afraid of?

A majority of the Senate did not vote to impeach. The senate doesn't even vote on impeachments.

You're such a dumbass.

I hope he is unleashed, he should be, and he does listen to us...….we created Trump, not the other way around.....We wanted someone to punch back at the elites, so the more shit they throw at him, the stronger he gets, the more solid our support is......that's the catch 22 you guys don't understand.....

Put that crack pipe down and sober up or is it smack, meth or some other drug. Whatever it is, you're on a bad trip.

Trump has a major similarity to Reagan; he is a screen upon which a certain constituency projects what they want to be true. It is a mysterious quality of American voters. It happened to a lesser degree with Obama, a nice guy who should never have been President. Perhaps, if McCain hadn't demonstrated a total incapacity for decision making by choosing Palin for running mate, things would have been different.

Well, he could have chosen Romney for running mate. That might have worked against the Obama ticket.

The post was quoted in a fashion that mischaracterized the context, thus the response.

"Judging from Trump's remarks at the Prayer Breakfast and his political rally held in the White House, Senator Collins, do you really think Trump will be chastened by his impeachment?"

Collins is either extremely naive, or she was lying to the American people when she made those self-serving remarks before voting the party line and after her gratuitous remarks about about Trump's shocking behavior.

This is Trump's idea of remorse for being impeached.

"It was evil, it was corrupt," Trump said of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. "We caught 'em in the act ... dirty cops, bad people," referring to his own FBI and DOJ.

"We went through Russia, Russia, Russia ... and it was all bull****. Little did we know we were running against some bad and evil people," Trump said.

"There were some that used religion as a crutch. ... A failed presidential candidate so things can happen when you fail so badly running for president. A guy who can't stand the fact that he ran one of the worst campaign in the history of the country," Trump said of Sen. Mitt Romney, who voted to convict Trump on abuse of power.

"Two low-lifes," Trump said of two obscure former FBI officials Lisa Page and Peter Strzok.

*Adam Schiff is a vicious horrible person. Nancy Pelosi is a horrible person. ... I doubt she prays at all. They want to destroy our country," Trump said.

"Top scum," Trump said of his FBI leadership.

My God, this man is our President!!!!

He tells the truth. He says just what I would say.

If stating the accusations you want to believe as fact didn't convince people before impeachment, it sure as hell isn't going to work after acquittal.

Emboldened by his victory and determined to strike back, Trump fired Gordon D. Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union hours after firing Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman, a decorated Iraq war veteran who was a Ukraine expert on the National Security Council and spoke the language. Vindman will sorely missed on the NSC.

Sondland and Vindman join Marie L. Yovanovitch, the fired ambassador to Ukraine, William B. Taylor Jr., who replaced her and was "essentially brought back early," Jennifer Williams, a career official detailed to Pence’s office and quietly left, Fiona Hill, the Europe policy chief at the National Security Council, Tim Morrison .who replaced her, quitting on October 31, Kurt D. Volker, the special envoy for Ukraine, who resigned days before testifying, and last but not least Yevgeny Vindman who had nothing to do with the impeachment proceedings but he was Alexander's twin brother.

They join Flynn, Spicer, Sanders, Priebus, Bannon, Hicks, Shah, Porter, Cohn, Short, McGahn, Coats, Mattis, Perry, Acosta, Tillerson, McMasters, Bolton, Sessions, Zinke, Nielsen, Kelly, Price, Shulkin, and those are just the high profile officials who have left Trump. Trump has a turnover rate of 78 percent of the top echelon. There are countless others who were fired or quit.

To Trump's fans, I ask, what does that tell you? Don't answer to me. Answer to yourselves.

Please do not insult the intelligence of others by saying Trump has the perfect right to hire and fire anyone he wishes. That is obviously true, but it is hardly the point.

What is the point is that some were fired because they disagreed with Trump's policies (Mattis when Trump ordered a retreat in Syria, Bolton over the Ukrainian affair and July 25 call as examples) or they could no longer in good conscience work for the Trump government, such as members of the government who thought inviting foreign interference in our Presidential election was an impeachable offense.

Do you just buy every lie the commies give to you? Biden was not his competitor when he made the call. Biden is not his competitor now. Biden won't be his competitor until the commies nominate him. No election interference.

tl;dr

Could people please say what their threads are about in the title AND in the first paragraph of the OP, at least say whether it's pro or anti-Trump so we can ignore the anti-Trump stuff?

Thank you.
