    The Constitutional process of impeachment is completely foreign to King Donald the First, his brainwashed blindly loyal lawyers, his brainwashed blindly loyal supporters and the Congressional Republicans who have sold their souls to Donald Trump. They refuse to believe Trump did anything wrong. To them, impeachment is just an attempt by Democrats to "undo the 2016 Presidential election." In November 2019, The Daily Beast correspondent Michael Tomasky wrote, "The modern GOP is an un-American party. It is not interested in democracy; it is interested in power and it doesn't care how it gets it." Today, Tomasky takes a further look at Republicans' attitude toward impeachment:

    Republicans can't win Presidential elections anymore but they sure can steal them
    They can go on about "Federalist" this or "Hamilton's letter" that, but the fact is that impeachment is in the Constitution, with no "unless we’re coming up on an election" exception.

    King Donald the First failed in his scheme to pressure Ukraine into digging up dirt on Joe Biden, his likely opponent in the 2020 Presidential election. Unfortunately, Trump's sleazy lawyers and Congressional Republicans have been using the impeachment trial to do what Trump wanted Ukraine to do. They've been smearing Biden with unfounded accusations of corruption, even though Biden is not on trial; Trump is. Trump has no shame and no ethics. Neither do his lawyers.

    Opinion: Trump is getting exactly what he wanted

    Emperor Trump told John Bolton the withholding of Ukraine aid was a means of pressuring Ukraine into digging up dirt on Joe Biden. Trump, of course, denies this. Senior White House officials all knew about Trump's quid-pro-quo offer. Trump, of course, denies this. Trump asked Bolton to set up a meeting between Ukraine's President and Rudy Giuliani. Trump, of course, denies this. Senate Republicans, all of whom have sold their souls to Donald Trump, refuse to allow Bolton to testify during the impeachment trial. They want a trial with no witnesses and no documents. They do not want to hear the truth. It doesn't matter to them. They will unanimously vote to acquit the most crooked, corrupt, dishonest, deranged, erratic, power-mad, self-serving buffoon who has ever lived. And who cares about some silly old Constitution anyway?

    Letter from Katrin Wiese of Rialto in today's Los Angeles Times:

    "I guess it's finally time to change parties. Being a Republican is just so darned convenient. Anytime one of us gets in trouble, we can just all get together and not allow any witnesses to testify against us."

    In 2020, the Republican party exists in name only. It has become the Donald Trump party, a cult led by an orange-skinned dictator who knows his brainwashed, blindly loyal supporters – and Congressional Republicans in particular – will always worship him, support him, protect him, defend him and even march through the flames of hell if he asked them to. Mmm, look! Cyanide-laced grape Flavor Aid!

    Analysis: Republicans prove they refuse to defy Trump under almost any circumstance

    BREAKING NEWS: The Senate just finished voting on whether to allow witnesses and documents at Trump's impeachment trial. The vote was 51 no, 49 yes.

    WHAT THE VOTE MEANS: The trial is a sham – no witnesses and no documents. And with a Republican majority in the Senate, the outcome was never in doubt. Senate Republicans have sold their souls to Donald Trump and they will unanimously vote for acquittal, ensuring King Donald the First remains above the law and above the Constitution, answerable to no one and accountable to no one.

    Can anyone explain how and why Republicans continue to support, protect and defend a President who lies constantly and is a lewd, crude, nasty, immature, petulant, bigoted, racist, crooked, corrupt, dishonest, unethical, deranged, erratic, power-mad, self-serving buffoon who has brought shame and disgrace to the office of the Presidency and to the United States of America? I certainly can't explain it.

    Trump made at least 27 false claims as Senate debated impeachment on Thursday

    Justice? Fairness? Impartial jurors? The Presidential oath of office? The rule of law? The Constitution of the United States of America? Those things no longer exist in Trumpworld, the topsy-turvy land of delusions where wrong is right, bad is good, down is up and the leader is an orange-skinned Pied Piper who has complete control of all the mindless little rats who inexplicably follow his irresistible lure. We now have an autocracy. King Donald the First is above the law and above the Constitution. He is free to do exactly what he claimed Article II gives him the power to do: Whatever he wants. We should all be afraid. Very afraid.

    In an unprecedented move, the Senate voted against calling witnesses in Trump's impeachment trial
    The Senate called witnesses in all 15 previous impeachment trials in US history, including those of Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton.

    King Donald the First ordered his aides and cabinet members to refuse to cooperate with the Mueller investigation. King Donald the First ordered his aides and cabinet members to ignore subpoenas in the House impeachment investigation. He ordered them to refuse to testify and to refuse to provide documents. King Donald himself hid evidence and refused to turn over subpoenaed documents.

    On October 26, the three House committee chairmen said in a statement, "If such an abuse of authority by the President to muzzle current and former officials from disclosing to Congress evidence of his own misconduct were to stand, it would inflict obvious and grave damage to the House's capacity to carry out its core Article I functions under the Constitution, including its impeachment inquiry into the President's actions. This would fundamentally alter the separation of powers that forms the bedrock of American democracy."

    Well, guess what? Today, January 31, 2020, that abuse of authority was allowed to stand, per the vote of the Senate Republicans who have sold their souls to Donald Trump. The President of the United States now knows he can abuse his power, withhold Congressionally-approved military aid and try to pressure a foreign country to dig up dirt on a political rival – all with impunity. He knows he can obstruct investigations, hide evidence, threaten and intimidate witnesses, ignore subpoenas and order his aides to ignore subpoenas – all with impunity. King Donald the First is now above the law and above the Constitution, answerable to no one and accountable to no one.

    Donald Trump has not made America "great." He has made America an autocracy and a dictatorship. Trump hat Amerika völlig gestört. Moge Gött uns helfen.

    As of this minute, the United States population is estimated to be 330,205,625, according to https://www.worldometers.info/world-...us-population/ – and only one of those 330,205,625 Americans is above the law. King Donald the First has been given absolute power by Congressional Republicans, who have sold their souls to him. Witnesses can be called in any civil trial or criminal trial. Witnesses have been called at 15 impeachment trials in US history. For the trial of King Donald the First, no witnesses were called and no documents were produced. His trial was a complete sham, with a pre-ordained outcome. Congressional Republicans worship him as a god, one who can do no wrong. They are brainwashed, blindly loyal members of the Cult of Donald Trump. They condone Trump's abuse of power, obstruction of investigations, refusal to comply with subpoenas, withholding of evidence, intimidation of witnesses and hundreds of other offenses. Trump and the Republican party are all that matters. The rule of law, the Constitution, the Presidential oath of office, national security and the integrity of our elections mean absolutely nothing. This is the saddest time in our nation's history.
