Can Congress Impeach Trump Again For His Worst Offense In Office?
Quote:
Donald Trump has gone too far this time, violating the first amendment and condoning racism all because of his ego?
You won't believe it...
Trump is trying to play out Richard Nixon’s “law and order“ theme from the 1968 election.
In 1968, the media was still largely segregated, as was most of the nation.
“Law and order“ were Nixon’s code words for white supremacy, but nobody in the mainstream media identified that or called it out at the time; that commentary was largely limited to the black press.
America today is a very different place, a multiracial and far more pluralistic society.
Trump thinks he can pull off Nixon’s white supremacist routine and get himself reelected.
He is wrong.

What New Hell Will Trump Rain Down On America Next?
Quote:
Donald Trump is about to unleash a fresh new horror on America and the world... what will it be this time?
Trump campaigned on nostalgia for the past, with a slogan calling to make America great “again.”
And, indeed, he has re-created many of the most notable moments in past American history.
He’s brought back the pandemic of 1918, and the widespread death associated with it.
He’s brought back the Republican Great Depression of 1929 and the widespread economic pain associated with that.
He’s brought back white supremacists like with the rise of the Ku Klux Klan after the failure of Reconstruction.
And he’s brought back the race riots of the 1960s, once again setting our cities on fire.
Which raises the question: what else will he bring back?
Another World War?
Another Civil War?
Or might he even take us in an entirely new direction, back to the past of other countries?
The rise of fascism in Europe?
The brutal military coup of Pinochet in Chile?
A crackdown like Tiananmen Square?
Trump still has six months to go, assuming Congress doesn’t impeach him again, and it looks like we have to be ready for anything.
