As most Americans, who are least peripheral participants in our election process, we are aware December 18, 2019 marks the day the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Trump for Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress.
While I have made little attempt to disguise my displeasure with the President; his angry rhetoric of fear, his verbal attacks on anyone who opposes him; the petty name-calling of dedicated public servants and war heroes such as Senator McCain, the embracing of Vladimir Putin, Kim yon Un, and the Turkish President who has committed to destroying the Kurdish people, his abandonment of our Kurdish allies, promising to bring our soldiers home - only to re-task them with protecting Syrian oil and not the lives of our allies, the abdication of U.S installations to the Russian forces, his over 15,000 lies, misleading statements and the perpetuation of Russian propaganda, the solicitation of foreign governments, Russia and Ukraine to interfere in our electoral process...
The most objective pattern of behavior is the President's blatant disregard for the checks and balances of the Constitution and his ignorance and unwillingness to defend it. Rather, he shreds it with executive orders. His so-called rallies are nothing more than campaign stops for which the taxpayers are paying millions of dollars. Above that, is the
number of his closest supporters former associates and appointees who have been convicted around him. Our nation is riddled with departments of the government with no congressional approved leadership. Many offices remain empty because Trump claims he doesn't need them - he can do a better job.
I won't get into his trade wars and economic sanctions with have crippled many small business and driven hundreds of American Farmers into bankruptcy, loss of their farms and even the taking of their own lives.
For all those reasons, I support the impeachment. And, for all those reasons I find no justifiable reason to celebrate the historic event. The Senate has pretty much guaranteed many will not be impartial or treat it as a trial; his acquittal, already announced by the top Republican in the Senate.
And, for all those reasons I find no satisfaction or happiness in the impeachment of Donald J. Trump. It should never have to come to this point. It is, or should be, an embarrassment to American citizens, Democratic and Republican alike.
I, for one, will not celebrate or take pleasure in the impeachment. I will make my voice heard on election day. Republicans who refused to be impartial and proved incapable of defending our Republic by ignoring the facts, I will campaign and vote for their opposition. For the first time in my life, I will actively support the Democratic Candidate for President - whoever it is for one simple reason. The Republican party has become nothing more than a cult of personality - built around a insecure narcissist, racist and hateful human being by the name of Donald J. Trump.
