Democracy, not Trump, is on trial (vengeful Dems inflicting political oppression on Trump voters)

Impeachment hearings are a taxpayer-funded, propaganda war of political intimidation: an attempt not only to undermine Pres Trump, but to demoralize and break the will of those who voted for him.

Democrats are not solemnly upholding the Constitution. They are conducting psychological warfare under the pretext of law. They want the president and his supporters — those who dared challenge the permanent, elite government class — to know they can never win.

Stand with us, “get on the right side of history,” or suffer the consequences, just like the president you supported, is the message.

This is not good faith, adversarial politics. This is a form of political oppression.

Democrats, “moving on” from the disastrous Robert Mueller hearings, offer new cadres of government-insider witnesses, most of whose evidence would be laughed out of any courtroom in America.

.....none of this is about facts, truth or due process. The impeachment charade — like the rest of the anti-Trump effort to overturn the election results — is a case study in raw power politics and ruthless, relentless bullying.

Nor is it only the left that potentially benefits.

Elements of the establishment, neocon right stand to gain advantage, too. As John R. Bradley argues in The Spectator, “[W]ith the threat of impeachment hanging over his head, Trump cannot afford to alienate [military] hawks,” some of whom sit in the Senate and might decide his fate in an impeachment trial. Hence, one wing of the establishment picks up where the other leaves off: Calls for impeachment on the left give hawks on the right leverage to force Trump’s hand.

Who loses in this dynamic? Who is ignored? The people who voted for the outsider Trump — the voters who demanded, among other things, the extraction of America’s troops from foreign theaters of conflict.

Media polls that they put through a cooker
They keep telling people, I’m losing to Booker
That’s the bald guy who stole Zuckerberg’s bling
These are a few of my terrible things

"Impeachment hearings are a taxpayer-funded, propaganda war of political intimidation: an attempt not only to undermine Pres Trump, but to demoralize and break the will of those who voted for him."

"Democrats are not solemnly upholding the Constitution. They are conducting psychological warfare under the pretext of law."

"They want the president and his supporters — those who dared challenge the permanent, elite government class — to know they can never win" and to "suffer the consequences"

"This is a form of political oppression."

And if the American People do not reject this evil coup d'état, disempower those attempting to stage it, and shine the Light of Truth on all this corruption and expunge it, along with all the concomitant moral rot and decay that are destroying the USA, the American People are going to know oppression the likes of which they cannot even imagine.

ANYONE WHO DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT'S GOING ON IS A SCOUNDREL!

Wow, are you naive or simply uninformed?The author is not referring to himself as Esquire. In the United States, Esquire is mostly used to denote a lawyer in a departure from traditional use and is irrespective of gender. In letters, a lawyer is customarily addressed by adding the suffix Esquire (abbreviated Esq.), preceded by a comma, after the lawyer’s full name.

BS. The neocon RINOs will be toast if they do that along with the GOP, which will become a tiny minority party if anything close to this happens.

In game theory with multiple games there is a way out of the prisoner's dilemma. You punish "defectors" until they learn to stop defecting. We may have to kill off the political careers of not just a few of them. Ryan was a good start.

Democrats are destroying America with funding from George Soros. Americans are often sent to other parts of the world to help stop despots who are trying to overthrow other governments - WHY are American Patriots allowing that to happen in America today ?

Uninformed. Thankfully I have very little experience with lawyers.
