The House is on fire. And with each passing day, Donald Trump defiles the office of the president. If only past defrocked presidents could provide a roadmap for this firestorm.
Andrew Johnson fought impeachment vigorously and survived removal, but never won reelection. Richard Nixon got in the way of justice, but eventually bowed to the rule of law, accepting his asterisk in the annals of history and resigning before certain removal. Bill Clinton expressed contrition, went on to complete his presidency with high approval ratings and has remained a popular former president.
If you care about democracy, the rule of law and nearly 250 years of constitutional governance, take heed. President Trump is no Clinton or Nixon, or even Johnson. He will not go quietly. It will be ugly. He will betray us and the rule of law in the process defying subpoenas, withholding documents, blocking witnesses.
This presidency is fouled with disrespect for rules, boundaries and norms. Trump walked away from major agreements negotiated by his predecessors the Iran nuclear deal, the Paris climate accord and the United States word as bond is no more. Look at the ease with which he discards supporters ask former attorney general Jeff Sessions or former secretary of state Rex Tillerson. Ask our allies, here today, gone tomorrow NATO, the Kurds in Syria.

What an evil idiot.
She needs to see a psychiatrist...she is mentally ill.
For commies, ANY Conservative that wins is already rotten from the start..only commies can live in the White House no one else
the Washington post defiles journalism and should be removed from publication
Where was she during the 8 years of Obama?
No, Donna Edwards was rotten from the start. A typical Maryland politician - says all you need to know.
Written three years ago?
Former congresswoman Donna F. Edwards
It’s kind of a religious belief. Probably the only kind she has.
LOLGF
I'm sorry, Donna, 'm getting kind of long in tooth and my memory isn't what it used to be. Remind me again of how many of President Trump's Attorneys General were cited for contempt of Congress? How many of his IRS Directors targeted groups who held political agenda different from his own? How many of his Secret Service Agents were fired for indecent conduct? How many pallets of cash did he airlift to foreign countries in the middle of the night? How many Ambassadors has President Trump left to die like dogs and refused to send in help?
As I said, my memory isn't what it used to be. Perhaps some of my FRiends could post questions of other such requests for reminders.
Prince Georges county politician....says it all
Ha ha ha ha ho away you affirmative action skunk.
Propaganda without pretense.
This dumb broad obviously has no memory of the rotten years of B.O.. Conveniently.
Umm, right, none.
Please keep up the siren's song, liberals, every article and every speech and every news broadcast redoubles Trump's supporters. Oh, and sucks the air out of the liberal presidential campaigns - man, the number of hours spent condemning the president vs the scant minutes sponsoring liberals is probably the best media buy ever for a reelection campaign.
Donna Edwards is an embarrassment to the State of Maryland.
And also a first class fool.
