Quote of the Day -- Second Impeachment Edition

 

"When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may 'ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.'”

--Alexander Hamilton, Founding Father of our United States, arguing including impeachment in the Constitution

It's almost as though he knew him. It's nearly as though Hamilton met and knew Donald Trump, from this description.

Well, except that "possessed of considerable talents" part.

Happy Second Impeachment, everyone. Enjoy. I know I am.

Question for Republicans and Trump Supporters

This is the "law and order guy"?

Really?

Pertinent 'Toons of the Moment.

First this one, so appropriate when the Republicans were forcing through Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to, of all things, the Supreme Court.

And now this.

Geez, guys, ladies and gentlemen of the Republican Party...could you give us a break out here?

Please?

Quote of the Day -- Constitutional Threat Edition

"Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people—does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society. This will not be easy, as the past few days have shown, but we owe it to our fellow citizens; to past generations that bled to defend our promise; and to our children."

--General James Mattis, retired United States Marine Corps General, also served as 26th US Secretary of Defense under this President
