    trump and the gop are turning their back on the rule of law. Soon, verdicts and sentences will be based on whether you are loyal to the Liar in Chief. The republican party has failed America. They have allowed a two bit carnival barker to bully them into smashing the Constitution with the authoritarian orders of an elected Mafia Boss. trump is doing what he has been doing all his life....Bullying and Intimidating.
    The Senate Impeachment "trial" was not a trial. It was a well orchestrated show.....not unlike a "reality show." I don't know when bribing a foreign country with tax payers money is not a crime. We are on the brink of Authoritarianism...
    And the Dems can only sit around in a circular firing squad. They are doing everything they can to give the Liar in Chief four more years to solidify his Regime....A SOCIALIST WILL NOT BEAT DONALD trump!

    Relax. The next four and two third years of Trump's presidency will go by like that -- make snapping noise. Then people will feel good enough about the economy to put some screw-up leftist politician into the Oval Office simply because he or she or it is cutting edge chic and then the economy will start charging for the dumpster again just like the political Left likes it.

    All that aside you are certainly correct that a significant cross section of the Republic's bananas were definitely on the Dem Party's debate stage last night.

    Vote Trump,avoid the banana republic vote any democrat and embrace the banana republic. They are the ones that want to tell us what to think, what to say, how to say it, what to drink, how to defend ourselves, how much to pay THEM.

    I can die happy knowing that long after we’re gone, Trump will be the fifth face on Mount Rushmore.

    And I suppose you think that the House Judiciary was stellar.


    During the Obama Administration. Now this is a Quid Pro Quo, bribery and extortion.

    We were a banana republic before Trump walked in the door.... he his a mere symptom of a much larger problem.

    Took you a while to wake up - but your still shooting your arrows all over the place - not finding the target.

    Smashing the constitution - founding principles - rule of law - has been Red and Blue's favorite sport for a long time - ridiculously so in the last few decades.

    Do you have a clue how many times Obama did that with executive orders? Bet you dont. For instance, mandating citizens MUST buy a private product or rob their taxes.

    You know who you know when you're living under a fascist oligarchy? When you can rant and rave about the fascist oligarchy without consequences, that's how you know you're truly living under the boot heel of genuine fascist oppression.

    Did you know that in 28 states it has been defined a criminal act to boycott Israel?

    Remind me again of just who we may not criticize.

    No and no. Perhaps we are on a path toward socialism which is far worse. Every socialist country has failed. Some of the banana republics are doing OK.

    "In political science, the term banana republic describes a politically unstable country with an economy dependent upon the exportation of a limited-resource product, such as bananas or minerals." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_republic

    The US economy isn't dependant on export of any limited resource product and if anything it's too politically stable with it's long-established political duopoly, so it is about as from from becoming a banana republic as it is possible to be.
