Trump used the DOJ to investigate members of Congress, their families and even a minor child.

“Shall any man be above justice? Above all, shall that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice?”
--Virginia delegate George Mason on impeachment, 1787

impeaching Trump is the only thing that will save our republic, my friends
 
if the world was like i wanted it, most presidents would be impeached, like for example if Trump knew about an incoming nuclear attack from Russia, and intentionally failed to respond...which could happen if we give him a 2nd term
 
WASHINGTON — As the Justice Department investigated who was behind leaks of classified information early in the Trump administration, it took a highly unusual step: Prosecutors subpoenaed Apple for data from the accounts of at least two Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee, aides and family members. One was a minor.

All told, the records of at least a dozen people tied to the committee were seized in 2017 and early 2018, including those of Representative Adam B. Schiff of California, then the panel’s top Democrat and now its chairman, according to committee officials and two other people briefed on the inquiry…..

The zeal in the Trump administration’s efforts to hunt leakers led to the extraordinary step of subpoenaing communications metadata from members of Congress — a nearly unheard-of move outside of corruption investigations. While Justice Department leak investigations are routine, current and former congressional officials familiar with the inquiry said they could not recall an instance in which the records of lawmakers had been seized as part of one.

Moreover, just as it did in investigating news organizations, the Justice Department secured a gag order on Apple that expired this year, according to a person familiar with the inquiry, so lawmakers did not know they were being investigated until Apple informed them last month.


**************

There was nothing too low that the Trump Administration would steep to intimidate the opposition.

This was pure and simply an abuse of power.
It's not something that would stand out as beyond the usual corruption in US politics.

In fact, pretty much all of what Trump did in the past has become dead issues.

For Trump to make his way back he's going to have to step farther out of bounds and order violence by his mobsters in a meaningful way.

So the question becomes, will the political climate in America allow Trump to go too far?

At the moment, there's little doubt that Merrick Garland and America's DOJ is afraid of pursuing charges against Trump. And most likey doesn't feel safe on moving the nearly 600 rioters charged into the courts.

This is how democracy can be defeated by a would-be fascist leader. America's justice system has been defanged, at least temporarily, if not worse.
 
The rot starts at the head. Thees DOJ activities were unheard of in the US. These were third world authoritarian tactics.
You're right, and America has lost a tremendous amount of it's credibility. Nobody should be fooled by the political spin at the G7 for Biden's sake.

China can very easily stand up it's track record against the US now. The reasons why are many, including America's 40 wars of aggression since WW2 alone.

China and Russia get Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, and more of the world's countries that need a nuclear big brother..

Yet Americans try to spin a tale about America being back!
 
after much study and reflection, i have concluded that Trump should be locked up for life

he does his crimes out in the open, that's how Trump is different. if Trump was president during Watergate, he would have left a business card at the break-in
 
trump was pushing the bogus birther theory as far back as 2011, years before Hillary Clinton entered the race to win the Democratic nomination.

Ummmmm......she pushed it in 2008 when she entered the race to win the Democratic nomination.
In what way did she push it?

The original smear against Obama was that he was a crypto-Muslim, floated in 2004 by perennial Illinois political candidate and serial litigant Andy Martin. Other related versions of this theory alleged that Obama was educated in an Indonesian “madrassa” or steeped in Islamist ideology from a young age, and the theories began to spread virally after Obama appeared on the national stage – to the casual observer, from nowhere – with his early 2007 presidential campaign announcement. (See: Obama kin: Birther rumors 'a shame')

All through that year, the Obama campaign – with the affirmation of most leaders of both parties – aggressively battled that smear by emphasizing his Christian faith. Obama’s controversial but emphatically Christian pastor emerged as a campaign issue and the belief that he was a Muslim seemed to lose traction. (See: Clinton: Birther claims 'ludicrous')

Then, as Obama marched toward the presidency, a new suggestion emerged: That he was not eligible to serve. (See: Birther debate alive across U.S.)

That theory first emerged in the spring of 2008, as Clinton supporters circulated an anonymous email questioning Obama’s citizenship.

“Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy. She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth,” asserted one chain email that surfaced on the urban legend site Snopes.com in April 2008.

Another early version of the theory, reported by the Chicago Tribune in June 2008, depended on a specious legal theory that was, for a time, the heart of the argument: that Obama was born in Hawaii but had a Kenyan father, and his mother was only 18 years old. Therefore, under existing immigration law, he was not eligible for automatic citizenship upon birth — a claim that depended on an understandable, but incorrect, reading of immigration law. Other theories suggested that Obama lost his U.S. citizenship when he moved to Indonesia or visited Pakistan in violation of a supposed State Department ban as a young man. (There was no such ban.)

So how are you claiming Hillary pushed it?

You're right, Hillary's campaign dindu nuffin'.

Just like Gore's campaign didn't push the Willie Horton story in 1988.

Go back to sleep.
Now it’s Hillary’s campaign…. Ok gotchya

Poor Hillary.....she never did nuffin'.

Go back to sleep.
Hillary said it… no no her campaign said it… No no go back to sleep!

Poor Hillary....beat by 2 amateurs in a row......LOL!
Huh? Why are you talking about election results? I thought we were discussing the birther claims? You done with that now?

Why are you talking about election results?

Because it's hilarious! Most qualified candidate in history. DURR.

Wait are you talking about me or you? Did you mean you when you said you or me when you said you? Why are you being so confusing?
 
It's how Trumpers roll. ........................
I don't "roll" like that and I am more in favour of Trump than any of the opposition.
Maybe, YOU don't but there are a lot that do.
They never condemn him for it either.
If you ask the question, "What time is it?"

TRUMP
will look at his watch and tell you what time it is.
BIDEN will ask his advisers what he should say.
HILLARY will refuse to answer the question.

What does it prove? It proves that Trump has fewer strings attached to him and that I trust him more than Biden, Hillary, Obama, and Bill. Trump is knowledgeable while the others have no knowledge at all. We are not talking about saints here because there are none but Trump is the most honest and most intelligent of them all. Simply put Trump is truly the lesser of evils in Washington.
Trump would get the big hand and the little hand mixed up, then lie about it.

"Trump is the most honest and most intelligent of them all".

The dumbest, most corrupt politician, let alone president we ever had.
Clearly Biden told Trump to hold his beer.
Sure he did.

In June of 1775, the Continental Congress created a unified army out of the revolutionary forces encamped around Boston and New York and named after the great George Washington, commander-in-chief.

The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware, and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown.

Our army manned the air; it rammed the ramparts; it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do.

And at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory. And when dawn came, their Star-Spangled Banner waved defiant.

Not only a genius but a very stable "genius'.
