CONVICT!
IMPRISON!
>> removal of the entire power structure in Washington
You grasp the scope of the crisis.
Two words: President Biden.
I agree.
Tasman, many thanks for the post!
Hoosiermama, ping to this section of the article:
“....And the MSM,which long ago abandoned any pretense at objective journalism,are beholden to the elites and in the tank for the regime,drunk as they are on being next to the power structure. You can’t expect real journalism with a lineup like this:
• ABC Senior Correspondent Claire Shipman is married to outgoing White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
• CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.
• CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of top Obama official Ben Rhodes,who is responsible for rewriting the Benghazi talking points.
• ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama special adviser Elizabeth Sherwood.
A President Biden, a mere buffoon, would be far superior to the scumbag-ideologue-in-chief.
And DEPORT
It’s actually come to that point, hasn’t it?
Sad.
To my knowledge, not a single rat senator took any heat at all for not voting to boot the guilty Bill Clinton.
Now, if the states still appointed senators, the senators would be immune from media criticism. THAT would be a different story.
Obama has, and will have for the foreseeable future, a majority in the Senate which supports his “re-interpretation” of the Constitution.
Obama’s new Constitution is the heart of the matter - it’s why he should be removed, and it’s also why he won’t be.
The “tea party” provoked such a furious bipartisan response precisely because, if successful, they would have destroyed the status quo.
THAT, the GOP and the Democrats agree, won’t be permitted.
Tea Party sign, circa 2010: “We came unarmed - this time”.
ça ira.
“Neither Republicans nor Democrats in Washington, D.C., are interested in anything other than paying lip service to the Constitution while solidifying their respective grips on power and transferring America’s wealth to their favored crony partners. That is all that matters in D.C. Neither party will intentionally do anything to upset their cushy apple cart.”
BINGO! Nothing is going to happen to Obemba. Impeachment will not happen, period.
” Impeachment is a political remedy: even if palpably guilty of profound transgressions, a president will not be ousted without a groundswell of public ire,” McCarthy writes.”
Very true - unless there’s an outpouring of public outrage nothing will happen.
After all that the author admits that Obama will not be impeached, at the end.
State legislators wouldn't be hearing from constituents and passing their concerns along to their Senators?
Presidents are still, in theory, elected by the EC, which is chosen by the state legislatures in exactly the same way the Senate originally was. Doesn't seem to have immunized Republican presidents from media criticism.
Democratic presidents are of course immune for unrelated reasons.
Despite the fact that he has earned impeachment, this will never happen.
Reason? He’s black, therefore you are racist for even suggesting such a thing. Sad but true in this topsy-turvy world we live in.
The EC has devolved into a nod, a mere courtesy to federalism. Most state laws require the candidate with the most popular votes to receive the electoral votes.
True. In fact, the EC never did work as intended.
Much the same applied, however, when senators were in theory elected by the legislature.
Lincoln and Douglass, for instance, campaigned in their famous debates all over IL. This turned the elections for state legislatures to a considerable extent into a popular election of the Senator, since people voted for the party that would elect the Senator they wanted to go to Washington.
The notion that the people elected state legislators individually, and then they as a group elected the state’s senators seldom if ever applied in US history. It was always more complicated than that.
