DONALD TRUMP MUST BE INDICTED, CONVICTED, AND IMPRISONED FOR SEDITION – PERIOD

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY


DONALD TRUMP MUST BE INDICTED, CONVICTED, AND IMPRISONED FOR SEDITION – PERIOD

 


The mere thought of letting Donald Trump off the hook in the interest of “bringing the nation together” is ridiculous. It not only won’t work, but it sends the wrong message to future seditionists. The American philosophy is supposed to be equal justice under the law, but we’ve established a pattern of always letting the influential off the hook. If we’d sent Nixon, Reagan, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney to prison for their crime sprees, Donald Trump might not have been so reckless - but, then again, we can never know about Trump, because he lacks common sense. 
. 
Nevertheless, the belief that letting criminals skate on their crimes help to bring the nation back together is a myth. Let's call it what it really is, caving in to the threat of further violence. People like Trump specialize in exploiting weakness, so they're prone to being disruptive regardless to how civil we try to be. In fact, such people see compassion as a form of weakness, so that gives them free reign, and Donald Trump is a perfect example of that. On the other hand, Donald Trump is a coward and a self-serving bully, so he would never do anything that was sure to bring painful repercussions. Thus, by continuing to let criminals off the hook just because they have power and influence only makes them less concerned about the consequences of committing their crimes. So the issue should be non-debatable - anyone who lodges an assault against our democracy should be thrown in jail, or worse.
.
Sedition is such a serious threat to our way of life that it's the one crime in which we should consider the death penalty. Trump wanted to reinstate the firing squad, so it would send an ironic message if he became the first one to get it - and I'm dead serious. If we're serious about defending our democracy, we have to establish laws that reflect that attitude. After all, we're talking about people who are out to completely overthrow our way of life. So, letting them off the hook for the sake of civility? A society that stupid doesn't deserve a democracy, and they won't have one long.
.
Insurrectionists are not interested in coming together. The only reason they're insurrectionists in the first place is because they're only interested in taking over our government by force. So, Trump should be convicted in the senate, indicted as a private citizen, convicted, and imprisoned for life, if for no other reason than to make an example of him as a warning to other mindless dictator wannabes who may be left in the wings, and as we saw on January 6th, there are many of them. These people don't get it. They were playing around in our nation's capitol like children playing in a sandbox. So the American people must make it perfectly clear to such people that we have no tolerance for anyone who seeks to undermine American democracy. And since sedition, which is essentially treason, is the worse crime that can be committed against this nation, it should be treated as such.

.

Far too many of us believe that because we have common sense, everybody else has at least enough common sense to define limits to their behavior. But as we've seen in the case of Donald Trump, that's not the case. There are a large number of people in this world who only want what they want and will go to any extent to get it. It's not only a form of ignorance, but a form of mental illness. So, we've got to protect ourselves from such people by dropping the hammer on them - a sledgehammer. And that's what we've got to do with Donald Trump, and all of his reckless followers. Otherwise they'll convince themselves that their reckless behavior is the key to achieving their goals.
.
Thus, people who commit insurrection against this country should be shown no mercy, regardless of who they are, or for what reason. In America, we take our grievances to court, and if we lose, that's it. That's the American way. Anything else is un-American.
 We would never think of letting a murderer off the hook in an attempt to bring the nation together, yet, sedition is the attempted murder of our democracy, so the very thought of showing any leniency towards those who engage in it is outrageous.

. 

After Trump lost the 2020 election, he purposely conspired to throw out the will of the people and undermine our democracy. He not only used every means at his disposal, but tried to invent new ways of telling the American people to go to Hell, he was going to remain president whether we liked it or not. He even accused his own whimperingly loyal vice president of failing to exhibit “the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution”, after Pence summoned the courage to confirmed in a letter the Wednesday morning of the insurrection that he did not believe he had “unilateral authority to decide which electoral votes should be counted”- and for once, he was right. 

. 
Earlier that week, Pence was said to have endured a lunch with Trump in which he tried to explain that he lacked the constitutional authority to block the certification of Joe Biden's election win, and that his function was merely ceremonial. Further, in a letter Wednesday, he told Trump: "It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not." And Pence was right. If a vice president had the authority to pick and choose which votes would be accepted, it would be impossible to ever vote any administration out of office. So the very thought of it was a reflection of Trump's insane disregard for democracy. It reflected Donald's "Trump First" philosophy in life.

.

A source told The Wall Street Journal that the president was furious, telling Pence: "I don't want to be your friend — I want you to be the vice president." Trump didn’t give a damn about either the Constitution, or, throwing out the will of the people. He has clearly demonstrated on numerous occasions that he doesn’t care about the Constitution, he doesn’t care about the American people, and he doesn’t care about America. All Trump cares about is Donald Trump. That’s a huge part of his mental instability, and it’s also what makes him so dangerous. The only difference between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is Putin has a functional intellect and mental stability, and Trump has neither. 

. 

Trump was terrified when it became clear that he was going to run against Joe Biden, because he knew that the people would associate Biden with Barack Obama, the man Trump most feared, and hated, on Earth. In addition, Biden was mainstream enough for many conservatives to accept over Trump's petulant immaturity and incompetence. Trump's knowledge and fear of that fact is why he was impeached the first time. He was so fearful of Biden that he tried to extort a foreign power to undermine him through slander. 

. 

Trump was desperate to hold on to power for several reasons. First, due to his gross insecurity, lack of class, and mental instability, he couldn't stand the thought of looking like a loser, because that’s exactly what he’s been all of his life, and he was desperate to hide that fact. After being propped up and bailed out by his father all of his life, and then falling into bankruptcy six times in spite of his father's Herculean efforts, Trump has always been desperate to portray himself as a competent and self-made man. So a high-profile loss to anyone was beyond his emotional endurance, but to lose to Joe Biden, Barack Obama's Vice President, would be devastating. That's why in spite of the fact that his behavior was childish and classless, he couldn't force himself to attend Joe Biden's inauguration. From his perspective, it would have been a public humiliation. It would have made him look like a loser before the entire world. 
. 
Secondly, losing to Joe Biden would mean that he not only couldn't compete with Barack Obama, but he couldn’t even compete with Obama’s former subordinate. To Trump that meant that he’d not only be a loser, but a loser to a Black man, and due to his racist disposition, having to confront that reality would be the Hell of all Hells. 
.

That same fear also motivates much of Trump's base. That's why they're so zealously loyal to him. They're scared to death of having to compete on a level playing field with non-Whites without having a leg up by virtue of the color of their skin - and the brilliant 22-year-old Amanda Gorman, the principle poet at the Joe Biden inauguration is a perfect example of why. Which one of Trump's insurrectionists who attacked our capitol do you think could compete with her talent and powerful intellect? She made Donald Trump look illiterate. At 22 years old, she demonstrated a maturity and wisdom that far exceeds the petulance and immaturity of the 74-year-old Donald Trump. So, she represents the perfect symbol of Trump's insecurity, and the true source of his frustration. And she also represents the frustration of Trump's followers - "It not fair; we're White, so we're the ones who are suppose to shine!" Thus, Amanda, and the many more like her, are the reason that Trump's desperate horde attacked the womb of our democracy. They want to delude themselves into believing they're superior, but they lack the intellectual acuity to prove it, and America is failing in its responsibility to protect their interest. Thus, their chant - "You won't replace us".
.
AMANDA GORMAN

"Amanda Gorman is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, as well as an award-winning writer and cum laude graduate of Harvard University, where she studied Sociology. She has written for the New York Times and has three books forthcoming with Penguin Random House."
.

But Trump's problems are far more serious than his inability to compete. Trump also knew that if he lost the presidency he’d be stripped bare, and he'd be exposed to numerous legal liabilities. In addition, his finances would be revealed, exposing the fact that he’s not nearly the man that he’s been trying to portray himself to be. And beyond that, he’d be facing a ton of debt and lose his ability to manipulate the system against charges of tax fraud. So, Trump, as we’ve seen through his behavior since losing the election, was absolutely desperate, and his reaction to his desperation was completely predictable. In fact, it was predicted:


A PREDICTION BEARS FRUIT:  

TRUMP WILL CLAIM FRAUD IF HE LOSES

 THE ELECTION 


The above video is absolute proof that Trump's claims of election fraud is a complete sham. It was predicted that he was going to claim fraud if he lost the election, and that was eight weeks before a single vote was casted. Yes, it was predicted eight weeks before the election that the only result that Trump would accept was a win, and that he would consider a loss as fraudulent, regardless of the circumstances or validity of the election. In Trump's deluded mind the only fair election is one where he wins - period. So, what Trump was demanding, was that America take the place of his daddy and simply give him what he wanted, regardless of whether earned it or not. The prediction is undeniable proof that Trump is both desperate and dangerous, and a 24 karat fraud.   

. 

So, the senate has an absolute obligation to convict Donald Trump. Failing to do so will be a gross abdication of their responsibility to both the Constitution, and, the American people. It will clearly show that they’ve placed their own self-interests before that of the nation, the people, and the  United States Constitution. And if that proves to be the case, they are of absolutely no use to the nation. After all, what is the use of having soldiers who are too cowardly to face the enemy?

DONALD TRUMP: STANDING IN THE SHADOW OF GREATNESS

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY
.
DONALD TRUMP:
.

Donald Trump announced that he wouldn't be paying respect to Rep. John Lewis who is currently lying in state in the capitol. But that could have been predicted, just like his taking down White House portraits of former Presidents who don't support him could have been predicted. President Ronald Reagan's portrait will probably come down next, since the Reagan Foundation contacted the Trump campaign and asked them to stop using Reagan's name and image in their fund-raising efforts. 
.
You see, Donald Trump has the petty mentality of an 8-year-old child. So he'll do - or NOT do - anything he thinks will get the attention, and/or irritate, the people who don't support him. He's vindictive,  and literally, a geriatric child. For him, everything is about payback and getting even. If you don't join him in raving over how wonderful he is, you're the enemy, and he'll eventually get even for your lack of support. Trump has been given everything throughout his entire life. He's never had to earn anything. So he thinks the world "owes" him it's undying loyalty. 
.
But that's quite alright by me, because it allows me to read him. Trump has a stupid propensity to telegraph his every thought and feeling, so just observing his behavior is the next best thing to being able to read his mind. A perfect example of that principle at work is how he just wished accused child molester Ghislaine Maxwell well. Based on the way he treats more accomplished women, that speaks volumes. It tells me that Maxwell probably has something on him, and based on a 2016 court filing that's almost certainly the case: 

Rape Allegations Refiled Against Trump 

"MANHATTAN (CN) – A woman who says Donald Trump raped her at a private sex party when she was 13 years old refiled a lawsuit against him Friday, two weeks after voluntarily dismissing a suit based on the same claims.

     "The new complaint, filed in the federal court in Manhattan, restates plaintiff Jane Doe’s claims of the earlier lawsuit. Namely, that she was lured by a recruiter to summer parties hosted by co-defendant Jeffrey Epstein at an Upper East Side mansion on East 71st St., tied to a bed and forcibly raped by Trump, who slapped her with an open hand and told her he would do whatever he pleased with her.

     "Jane Does goes on to claim that after Epstein also forcibly raped her, he and Trump bickered over who should have taken the minor plaintiff’s virginity."

So Trump's pettiness brings me comfort, because it assures me that he's not feeling a second's worth of relief over the pain of being a miserable outcast. It gives me the comforting assurance of knowing how horrible it must be to be Donald Trump, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving person.  Just imagine having to go through life knowing that you're so despicable that your own wife probably hates your guts, and your children may only be putting up with you for monetary reward. That’s what Donnie’s got to live with. And he also has to live with the fact that no matter how much he postures, the entire world looks upon him as a disgusting loser - and a dumb one with no class, at that. That's karma working at its very best.

Trump is literally dying inside, because what he’s wanted more than anything else all his life has always been just beyond his grasp - the admiration and respect of others. He's always had money, but he's never had the respect of others - and after all, that's primarily why we want money in the first place, in order to get the admiration and respect of the people around us. While a person can buy a 30-room mansion, they can only live in one room at a time, and while they might be able to buy an expensive Rolls Royce, it can't take them anywhere that they can't get to in a Volkswagen Beetle. So the primary reason we want money is to impress others. We want money so people will say, "Look at that big house and expensive car! He must be special." But  Donald Trump's money is not doing that for him. Instead, people are saying, "How long can an idiot like this continue to get way with this fraud!!!?" So all of Donald's money is not doing him a bit of good - and worse, truly self-made billionaires look down on him as a joke. They see him for what he is, and he doesn't fit into their club.

Ordinarily I would feel sorry for a person like Trump, but in his case I went out and bought a case of popcorn to watch him suffer, because there's a reason for it, and he richly deserves all the pain he's suffering. The bottom line is, if you don't deal with poverty properly it can stunt your growth. The same is truth of wealth. Some people deal with wealth well, and live long and happy lives, but Trump has used his wealth to step on others and try to squeak through life without having to pay any dues. Now he's paying the price.

.
Donnie’s father, Fred, paved the way for him all of his life. As a result, unlike most of us, Donnie didn’t have to develop the intellect and character to get by in the world. Everything was bought and paid for on his behalf. According to his niece, Mary Trump, author of the tell-all book,
Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created The Most Dangerous Man In The World", instead of studying for the SAT to earn his way into college, for example, Donnie simply paid someone else to take the test for him, and instead of developing the character to make and develop friendships, he simply used his money to buy superficial friendships. As a result, he’s left today with an underdeveloped intellect, and he lacks the character to be a good person and loyal friend. Thus, all he is today is an empty shell of a man completely motivated by the need get whatever it is he wants through hook or crook, and to hide his many flaws and weaknesses at any and all costs - and often, at the expense of others.
.
That’s why he’s such a profuse liar. He has such a flawed and weak personality that he has to bend reality to accommodate all of his shortcomings to maintain his self-esteem. Donald Trump is much like Mr. Wizard, a little midget of a man hiding behind a huge fake image. His entire persona is fake. That’s why he's so enamored with the word – everything  he doesn't like is “fake”, according to Trump. That’s because he uses himself as a standard by which to judge the rest of the world, and he's a fake human being.
.
BECOMING PRESIDENT

When Hillary lost the 2016 election and Donnie found himself standing in the wings, he didn’t know what to do with himself, because, yet again, he hadn't earned what had been dropped in his lap. He didn't win the presidency, Hillary lost it, and Putin saw to it that Trump got it - and Putin had a good reason for wanting Trump to win; he had two reasons, actually. First, he had Trump in his pocket; and secondly,  because Trump is so flawed as n individual, his success became a liability for America and a win for Russia. And just as Putin had anticipated, Trump was completely unprepared to be President, or anything else other than an incompetent blowhard. So on the one hand, while his dream of finally getting the recognition and respect that he's always sought had finally come true, on the other, now he'd have to actually perform. But in his arrogance, and his inability to think beyond the moment he's living in, he thought, "Now I’ll show em!"
.

What Donnie failed to recognize was, becoming president was the worst thing that could have ever happened to him, because now he could no longer posture and contort reality to make himself look good, and being President would bring the kind of scrutiny into his abilities that he's never had to deal with before. So now he would have to actually perform and demonstrate his competence, instead of just brag bout it. That was an immediate problem for a man who'd gone bankrupt 6 (SIX!) times, had been propped up by his father’s wealth all his life, and had failed at everything he'd ever attempted other than selling his father's name. In addition, it would also bring along with it a close examination of his level of competence and his personal life.
.
Any other man, who had even a smidgeon of intelligence, could have worked around that. He would simply surround himself with the nation's most brilliant minds to help him run the government. But due to Trump’s flawed character, that was out of the question. First, he’s so insecure that having people around him who could actually think was a direct threat to the image he’d spent his life trying to forge, since it would be far too easy for them to figure out that he was an idiot and a fraud. And secondly, he resented having to share the spotlight with anyone else. As a result, he’s built an administration made up of fellow idiots and some of the biggest frauds in the country. That’s why his administration is a revolving door.  After all,  any  person who could be loyal to Trump and not feel a responsibility to warn the nation of what a danger he is to society would, by definition, have to be either an idiot him or herself, or completely corrupt and self-serving. Bill Barr is a perfect case in point.
.
So what we now have, is not a president who tries to live up to, and build upon the accomplishments of previous administrations, but one who slanders and tries to sabotage the accomplishments of previous administrations so he can either bring attention to himself, or distract from his other acts of stupidity that betray his incompetence. His gutting of the Iran nuclear agreement is a perfect example of that.
.
It is for precisely that reason that we must rid ourselves of this man. America simply cannot afford to place our future in the hands of a self-serving lunatic. Let me explain why:
.
It has been reported that Black conservative, Herman Cain, has recently died of the Coronavirus a mere few weeks after attending one of Trump’s rallies. While it’s always sad to hear about anyone’s death, the needless death of many conservatives is an act of God and a perfect metaphor for life under Donald Trump – or, make that, death under Donald Trump.
.
Nature sees to it that excellence is always given the best chance to survive and reproduce. It’s called survival of the fittest. That’s how nature continues to improve itself. But many of Trump’s conservative supporters are proving that they lack the common sense necessary to contribute to the betterment of humanity, so nature is using their poor judgment regarding the Coronavirus (among other things) to weed them out. So what we’re witnessing under Trump is, essentially, the final gasp of the Neanderthals. So it is essential that we utilize every bit of our common sense so we won't perish along with them – and they’re trying mightily to take us along for the ride.
.
As a direct result of Trump’s fixation on placing his personal interest over and above what’s in the best interest of the nation, the United States has not only lost 150,000 citizens, but has also lost much of our standing in the world among friends and foes alike. In the three and a half years that Trump has been in office we’ve gone from one crisis or food fight after another on nearly a daily basis.  And what has he accomplished? He’s only succeeded in making the United States the laughingstock of the world, and making himself look like the complete idiot and incompetent fool that indeed he is.
.
But in spite of his glaring idiocy, now he wants us to completely ignore one of the worst pandemics the world has ever experienced, and put our children's lives in danger by sending them back to school where they can become infected by this deadly disease, and in many cases die, or in other cases continue to spread it throughout the nation. And why is he asking us to make this horrific sacrifice? - for no other reason than to hide his incompetent and improve his chances of being re-elected. The man is completely mindless. But just as horrifying as he is, is the number of people who can’t see through his mindless idiocy. Look at the fix that Florida and the state of Texas are in by trying to follow his dysfunctional lead.
.
So, no, it’s not surprising that Trump won’t be paying his respect to Rep. John Lewis. It’s far too humiliating for him. This entire episode started with one deluded dream of Trump's incompetent mind.  If Donald Trump - with all his money, bigotry, and GOP support - could be granted his most passionate desire, it would be to get the kind of admiration and respect that seems to be the exclusive domain of just one man - a Black man -  Barack Hussein Obama. Due to Donnie's irrational need to feel superior President Obama has become the object of Donnie's obsession, and the bane of his existence. So, no, it is not the least bit surprising that Donald wouldn't want to honor another Black man as he lies in state. The symbolism is far too painful for a small, envious, and bigoted mind to endure.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION

Beneath the Spin*Eric L. Wattree

EXCELLENCE IS THE KEY TO BLACK EQUALITY
.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION


The Republican Party specializes in taking a robust Democratic economy and then convincing the people that, with Republican guidance, they can promise even better days ahead. Then once they’re elected into office, they immediately begin to divide the people, loot the economy, undermine the average American, and drag America under a bus. Thereafter, in complete desperation the people turn to the Democratic Party for help, and with that, the cycle repeats itself.
.
This economic cycle has been playing itself out every generation for the last hundred years. Every 10 to 15 years, as soon as one generation learn their lesson regarding the Republican Party, another one comes along with dreams of wealth and prosperity to replace them. So the GOP never runs out of victims. Even as we speak, Donald Trump is going around bragging to anyone who will listen regarding all he has done, while taking credit for an economy that he inherited from Barack Obama.
.
But in reality, Trump, much like Ronald Reagan, has got us living on a credit card. Things seemed to be relatively stable under Ronald Reagan as well, but once he left office he left the country with a larger debt than all of the presidents that came before him, combined! The same is true of Donald Trump. The $1.8 trillion tax cut that he gave the rich is a debt that’s gonna have to be repaid, and he’s sending the bill directly to the average American in the form of cuts in Social Security, Disability, education, housing, and other safety-net programs.   
.
THE GREAT DEPRESSION
History is clear. The Great Depression was brought on by 12 years of Republican governance. Thereafter, Democrat, Franklin Roosevelt repaired the economy with the New Deal and America prospered. Then Nixon came along and brought with him the corruption of Watergate, and later Ronald Reagan flooded our inner cities with crack cocaine, destroyed our industrial base, and made a college education beyond the reach of many average Americans. That not only diminished the nation’s intellectual currency by failing to invest in tens of thousands of brilliant but underdeveloped minds, but at the same time, it also promoted an undemocratic attempt to create a class-based society where the rich continued to prosper, and the average American remained in “his or her place”.
.
That’s clearly a failed experiment that the conservatives refuse to give up. Conservatives have always been known for walking around with flag pins in their lapels and spewing their "bone-spur" brand of patriotism. Going all the way back to the very founding of this nation they’ve always used false patriotism and deception as weapons to promote a self-serving agenda to undermine the interests of the average American.  As a result of that attitude, they have always been the most insidious enemy of American democracy. That’s why when our founding documents speak of American enemies it uses the phrase, “Both foreign and domestic.”
.

When conservatives first arrived on these shores, they brought with them the European notion of class distinction. They have always suffered from the distinctly undemocratic attitude that the only inherent value of the average American is as servants to cater to the whims of the upper class. Alexander Hamilton, one of this nation’s conservative founding fathers, believed that the rich and "wellborn" should be given a permanent share in government. He said:
.
“All communities divide themselves into the few and the many. The first are the rich and wellborn, the other the mass of the people…. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore to the first class a distinct, permanent share in government. They will check the unsteadiness of the second, and as they cannot receive any advantage by a change, they therefore will ever maintain good government.”
.
Hamilton supported a lifetime appointment of the President (after being selected by congress, instead of the people). Can you just imagine that, Donald Trump FOR LIFE!!!?  But America dodged that bullet during the Federalist Convention that took place between May 14 and September 17, 1787.
.
Since most of the founding fathers came to America to escape the aristocratic class system in Europe, Hamilton’s desire to preserve the class

system was resoundingly defeated in favor of an unfettered democracy, but that didn’t mean that people of Hamilton’s point of view would quietly go away. Instead, they became the conservative coalition, and lowered their profile as blatant aristocrats, but continued to pursue their agenda by using their wealth, power, and various other strategies to divide the people to achieve their agenda, and that’s what we see today.  That accounts for why conservatives tend to be specialists in obstructionism and division, and why the American people ALWAYS suffer under conservative governance.
.
While a class structured society may bring comfort and contentment to the monied class, the damage it’s doing to the nation as a whole can be clearly observed by simply assessing the relative intellectual acuity and quality of leadership of Barack Obama as oppose to Donald Trump. Wealth and intelligence are not synonymous. The nation needs brainpower to prosper, not merely wealth, and Donald Trump is currently a poster child for the proposition that money without brains is a waste.
 .
But I’m jumping ahead of myself.  Not long after Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush came along. Bush ignored warnings of the pending 911 attack, then lied us into Iraq and created the current destabilization of the Middle East. He also brought us to the brink of a second Great Depression. But in that regard, and following a now familiar pattern, Democrat, Barack Obama came in to clean up the Republican mess.
.
Now we have Donald Trump, undoubtedly the most lying and incompetent
president in the history of the United States - and worse, he’s in treasonous lockstep with the Russians. But in spite of that, the GOP is currently leaving no stone unturned to coverup his gross corruption, incompetence, and criminality in pursuit of their own self-interest. .
.
That’s the problem with giving wealth priority over character and intelligence. Neither Donald Trump nor the Republican Party have either the character or intelligence to understand the importance of placing the nation’s interest above their own. It’s exactly that lack of understanding that led to Trump’s impeachment – and it would lead to his removal from office if the Republican senate wasn’t so irresponsibly corrupt.
.
So once again, as they’ve shown repeatedly over the past one hundred years, instead of adhering to their oath of office, and their oath to be impartial jurors during Trump’s impeachment, in a desperate attempt to corrupt the system for their own self-interest the Republican Party is going to do any, and everything possible to see to it that the American people never learn all the facts regarding Trump's criminality in this impeachment case. That alone undoubtedly makes the Republican Party the domestic enemy of the American people, and as such, they should all be swept out of office and relegated to the garbage heap of American history.
