When any President betrays the nation, there is no impeachment debate.

If or when the Democrats bring forth Articles of Impeachment, they will read like a Steven King novel. It will horrify the American people. There will be no doubt Trump should be removed.

If the Republicans in the Senate refuse to convict they will be responsible for the destruction of our constitution and the rule of law. It will forever set precedent, all future Presidents will be above the law. That will be on them. Dare them to vote for that. The Democrats must make this clear to the American people when they decide to impeach.

A day of reckoning has arrived for the American people and the Republicans in congress and they don't even realize it, yet.

We have a choice, protect and defend the constitution or take a match and set it on fire.

2. People should say that word for word when they call their reps.

Call Congress (877)650-0039. Spread the word! RESIST!

The tide is turning...now there are 106/107 reps who support starting an official impeachment inquiry. On Fri there were 93/94 depending on the source (CNN or NY Times). 13 have changed their minds over the weekend.

The day after the Mueller report came out.
They let Barr change the narrative.

...against Trump.

Even if they have all the evidence and the Republicans have no defense.

They simply do not trust the Democrats to make an impeachment argument.
