I do not like this situation at all.
It is so so bad for this country.
Makes me feel disgusted.
Shame on them.
I am not even close to being a right winger and I am just ill about it.
I can’t even watch the news because it is filled with hate.

That said both sides are full of
I’m just a “middle of the road” guy trying to keep to myself and mind my own business.

This makes me feel hate toward those people doing this coup.
Hate is just so wrong and I am ashamed of feeling this.

The media is just selling their schtick.
They are making money from both sides and are “playing us” against each other.

Our family can not speak of politics during celebration meals.
Holiday meals have been strained, and we probably not the only ones.
Rant over.

Thanks.
Andy

If we put enough money into politics, and let the pols and media play with it for an unlimited time, this is what we get. Films like A Face in the Crowd and Network predicted all of this long ago.

Congress represents their backers, not their constituents.
28th Amendment
No paid lobbying
No workarounds like book deals or speech making to groups you write law on.
No Gerrymandering
Strict campaign time and money limits
Term limits

5 more years of Trump will fix all the problems!

Well, maybe not all, but a lot more than if anyone else was in the OO.

The Constitution rules. Not the President.

I am comforted by the fact that 69% of REPUBLICANS want witnesses and documents. And 72% of everyone wants that.

Nope - not tired of democracy, checks or balances.

I heard a former Trump voter speak saying “I didn’t vote for THIS kind of a president”.

The coup will fail. Most of the Republicans didn’t even show up to the Democrat’s opening statements.

100% Partisan effort started by crazy Farrakhan Supporters like Maxine Waters, the Jihad Squad, and Schiff. Then the rest of the supposed sane Democrats jumping on board? Dems have indeed gone Insane.

The op isn’t a “middle of the road guy” if he considers what’s happening a rebellion or a coup. Trump’s an elected official we should hold his feet to the fire.

Unethical low life uses unethical low life tactics he's always used, gets caught and the other side wants to punish him for it.

That's not a "COUP". No matter how many times Alex Jones or Mark Levine or Dan Bongino tell you it is...it isn't. He abused his power to do damage to his political opponents, and now they are using political process to hurt him for it, as they should.

Not sure there is anyone to feel "sorry" for here, least of all the con man in the oval office.

Anyone who thinks holding the President to the constitution is a coup needs to study up on the constitution and turn off Fox news.
