"...'Tell the truth ... for a change': ex-President Carter's advice to Trump..."

Good advise.  But like all of the loonie right, he just can't do it.

Seems that some republicans have decided to support the USA.

That's how you interpret Trump, but he is the opposite of this.

Kremlin trolls 'uncorked' champagne after helping Trump win, Senate Intelligence Committee reports

https://theweek.com/speedreads/870559/kremlin-trolls-uncorked-champagne-after-helping-trump-win-senate-intelligence-committee-reports

excerpt

The Senate Intelligence Committee released its second volume on 2016 election interference Tuesday, and the Republican-led panel bluntly concluded that Russia "sought to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election by harming Hillary Clinton's chances of success and supporting Donald Trump at the direction of the Kremlin." The Kremlin-directed Internet Research Agency's (IRA) "social media activity was overtly and almost invariably supportive of then-candidate Trump to the detriment of Secretary Clinton's campaign," the report added.

Republican-led panel

The whole thread was a political thread, about TRUMP. I never went back to Reddit, they dock your karma score if they dont like your opinions. The low karma score keeps people from posting on thread topics that need a higher score. So in essence this is a gag order to posters who disagree with their opinions.

What sort of bad experience have you had with Reddit?
I just didn't like it, not really a bad experience per se but just not my cup of tea. No real conversation with people so to speak.

Personally I am hoping for kicking and screaming.  It would be a fitting end.

I hope you're disappointed. Republicans do that a lot. No offense.

USAsince1680. That girl was determined! lol

And Carol, I loved to pizz her off. :) She was a  formable opponent but she kept a weak spot ... just in case.

And then, Flack, dang how I miss his "I heard it on my AM radio just this morning while I was mowing the yard" and his constant mowing of the yard and... I gotta go now everyone" 

Thanks, Teaman for refreshing my memory.  :)

I wonder where they are all now.

Don't forget Flack's Gauley Bridge.  :)

"...Trump declares "war" — and, yes, our full-blown constitutional crisis is here
Insane White House letter — clearly dictated by Trump himself — suggests he's ready to overturn the Constitution

The leading headline on the New York Times site on Tuesday evening was, "White House Declares War on Impeachment Inquiry." That refers to the astonishing letter produced by the White House counsel's office declaring that the impeachment inquiry is invalid because the Democrats are seeking to overturn the 2016 election. Since impeachment, by definition, is a constitutional process to overturn an election, that contention is embarrassingly daft.

But that's beside the point. This document signals that the White House has decided to formally defy the Congress and challenge its clear constitutional power to check a president who has committed treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The Trump administration has declared that the concept of checks and balances is no longer operative in the United States Constitution. In fact, I don't know if we can be sure anyone in the White House or the Republican Party thinks the Constitution is still operative at all..."

So here it is, do you stand with trump, or the COTUS?

The constitution says the House of Representatives has the power to impeach, not a committee.

Point out bribery, treason, high crimes and misdemeanors were committed.

The Trump Administration owes the UN $1billion USA Today and others are reporting.
