Fundamentally, what the Democrats are trying to do is destroy Donald Trump to prevent him from revealing the truth about them, bringing their evil to light, and halting their gravy train.
When Trump said, "The party's over; I'm going to clean up Washington," the corrupt, parasitic politicians took that as a declaration of war on them and their privileges. They have tried to stop him--and the revelation of truth--ever since. This is merely their latest attempt.
The ruthlessness with which they have responded is a measure of the depth of their corruption.

“When the Republicans take the House and Senate this coming November, they will reverse everything the evil Democrats do.”
Oh yeah, sure, just like they reversed Obamacare.
“When the Republicans take the House and Senate this coming November, they will reverse everything the evil Democrats do.”
I think you’re dreaming.
When republicans take over the house and senate there will be no changes. Except for the media which will suddenly turn hostile to the tactics that the democrats exercised freely.
I’d like to think that the republicans taking over will change the direction of what’s coming. But I’ve not seen any evidence of it.
Re Ruthlessness:
Gee… I really wish our side would be ruthless once in a while, when it came to dealing with Democrats…
The 14th is an amendment so would override that clause where applicable. >However, it will backfire.
14th specifies 2/3 votes of both houses to remove disabilities under it. NOT easy so if they can actually get away with achieving this achieving backfire would be quite hard.
The language of section 3 of the 14th could by partisan conservative interpretation apply to a large swath of elected and appointed democrats and assistant democrats across executive, judicial and legislative branches at federal, state and local levels. But the amendment's language is incomplete; the important details lie in the implementing legislation, if any, passed regarding this. Timing says it was aimed at post-Civil War southern democrats, but its language is not narrowed to that. But the 14th doesn't specify the details of how to apply that, it delegates the details, via section 5: "The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article." The big question is whether such legislation is already exists, ready to use or whether something new would need to be enacted. I don't know the answer. My recollection, from trying to research that some time ago, was that there was very little experience regarding this clause. I don't know whether it was ever even used post-Civil War. History records Pres. Andrew Johnson's general pardon as freeing up former Confederates, but a presidential pardon shouldn't undo actions from this. I think the section was used narrowly c 1920 against someone and then subsequently that action was undone, but don't have the details in front of me. A good constitutional and legislative history review is called for here. Mark Elias's involvement is grounds for concern as although he works for the foolish he's not a fool himself and has access to those good at twisting the record and selling it as 'facts' vis the MSM. We need to be well prepared to fight such. If they need new legislation to accomplish this then we can try to block it. If they can just twist old legislation to suit their needs we need to be prepared to fight that.
