"Democrats' Game-Plan: Brainwash Americans Into Hating Trump, Stage Coup Against Him"


Maybe it's time for this author to put away his keyboard. This piece is asinine. Truly.

No one needs to "brainwash" millions of Americans into hating Trump.

He is already well and truly hated. He is a hateful man.

Rude and name-calling, Genuinely foul at times. Dishonest in the extreme. Disloyal to associates and family. Often cowardly and a bully towards the weak. Never reads. Never listens. Has an extraordinarily big mouth. Possess a vast store of ignorance. Flip-flops regularly. More concerned with re-election than the country's interests. Venal. Servile to the interests of another state because that generates huge amounts of campaign contributions. Irreligious and hypocritical.

He has his loyalists, of course, as did many other unpleasant and even dangerous men before him.

His wear big dumb red hats, waddle around in Walmart stores for entertainment, dislike immigrants and Muslims, generally have bellies hanging over their belts, watch lots of television, eat McDonalds and donuts, and a fair portion go to bed each night expecting to be awakened by the Lord’s Second Coming.

How about just letting the impeachment investigation take its normal course without all the dire nonsense? If the politicians believe Trump should be impeached and convicted, then so he should. That's the Constitutional path.

Talk of coups is outrageous. Impeachment, as it has always existed in America, is implicitly a political process. Even the Constitution's words on the nature of acceptable charges are brief and not well-defined, open to interpretation. Despite the legal formalities, there is no court of appeal, no supreme court, just the vote each politician, answering to his or her constituents, offers after reviewing the facts. That is the law of the land.
