I mentioned the other day that Jonathan Turley, the law prof, Republican and Trump apologist, came up and I posted one of his articles
I am now going to his web site to see the stream of articles that he is posting after the Trump riot.
This article, like a previous article, says it is sent to The Hill publication. It has not yet been posted there — as far as I can tell — but I didn’t try that hard — and it like the other one was posted on other sites with the statement at the top that it was posted to The Hill
I well recall when I was stupid enough to follow him that he says that he has the largest legal following of any blog in the world.
Recall that he was the only atty supporting Trump against impeachment
What I am saying is probably more important than the link below because I am suggesting that we keep an eye on him to see the evolving Republican party and Trump fascistic coup
***
several have pointed out that Republicans don’t want article of impeachment to be put up to a vote in the house because Republicans who vote against it will be on record
well, Turley to the rescue!!!
fast track impeachment will harm the constitution!!!!
so, don’t do it
**
my take: it looks like Nancy will do it and I will hate her always for not impeaching W Bush

How A Snap Impeachment Could Shatter Our Constitutional Balance

I don’t think there’s any question by now that a lot of what we’re seeing now is white people fearing being “replaced” by non-whites. It scares the bejeezus out of them.
and that is encouraged whenever you have wages so low.

Pelousy has got to go.
yeah, “young” people like Hakeem.
Hakeem is beginning to show up more often on MSDNC and CNN, I’ve noticed.
figures and stacey is all over karens’ FB pages.
we have yuge contests forever it seems.
It feels exhausting sometimes.
Sounds like this dude is in the Dumb Dore camp. Blame it on AOC.
Even if AOC was somewhat exaggerating the carnage possibility, it’s certainly not totally out of the ballpark given what we know. In any case, with what did happen, why would anyone on the left go after AOC?
While “could have’s” are of course unproveable, I do not think its a stretch to say that had any of these people run across any politicians, let alone AOC or a squad member, bad things would have happened.
AOC is a brilliant, beautiful woman. I shudder to think what could have happened to her, street smarts and all. 🙁
Phillip Conway recently recieved a PhD in Wales. Really smart guy. He had a comment, then inserted a tweet by Vanessa and then posted 2 more tweets. I bolded his second tweet. His third tweet is also important to understand the factions upon factions influencing other factions …
