A timely quote from some "anonymous" source:

Thanks to Soph0571!
===============

‘’A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices.’’


Rumored to be George Orwell but it has been called into question.

You cannot be President of the United States and do business with foreign countries and entities.

Period.

No exceptions. It it the law of the land.

Republicans have turned the other way since day one. They have betrayed our Constitution and our country.

Mr Trump said he could run his businesses and be President at the same time, if he wanted to. Nobody challenged him on his statement.

So, he was true to his word. He continued to act as President while doing business around the world. He said he would take no salary, even as he was raking in more than his salary off foreign businessmen at the Trump International Hotel, down the street from the White House. No, he would take no salary - he would just take it from other places.

This is a reason to impeach, even if Bob Mueller's investigation never happened.

Keep the pressure on.

Do not let him relax for one minute. Keep the subpoenas coming. Keep the Courts busy with his lawless acts.

He doesn't understand our Constitution or common English. He has perverted everything about American values. His supporters prove over and over again that they cannot be trusted. We must work around them.

He has committed crimes and deserves to be impeached.

Period.

Trump has already returned to his lie of "no collusion, no obstruction, no anything"...

It took him all of two days to put the Mueller hearing out of his mind and return to his lying ways. I heard him say it last night on a live camera and nobody questioned him on it? Nobody said, "But the Report says differently."

So we are supposed to return to the lies, pre-Mueller hearing, and pretend we did not hear what we heard?

He needs to be told, "No, Mr Trump, you are lying".

How can you compete with such denial?

Should we just assume that Trump is Putin's Puppet?

From what he says and what he does, it does point strongly in that direction.

If Trump were to win in 2020, it would mean that Putin won, also.

Trump would be Putin's Puppet in the White House again.

Except this time, it would be more obvious.

We should all keep a close eye on Boris Johnson in the UK. We should study closely to see how much influence Putin has over him? Donald Trump's next term could be very similar.

Hillary was right when she pinned that nickname on Donald Trump. His reaction was one that said, "Yeah, you caught me".

Just 0.13 per cent of the population voted for Boris Johnson

https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2019/07/just-013-cent-population-voted-boris-johnson


<snip>
Boris Johnson today fulfilled his longstanding ambition of becoming prime minister – but was elected by a share of the population roughly the size of a decent football crowd.

The election was the first time that a party membership has directly elected Britain’s prime minister. Boris Johnson has been placed in No 10 not by the British public or their elected representatives, but by 92,153 Conservative members, a group that collectively accounts for 0.13 per cent of the British population – marking a fundamental shift in where power is located. Jeremy Hunt meanwhile received 46,656 votes.

======================

Has Russia succeeded in taking over the parliamentary democracy in England?? Will they replicate their achievement in America in 2020?

The Gambler

Why is there a timeline by which they cannot impeach ??

Some people say that after September 1st, it will be too late to start impeachment. It will be in the middle of the campaign. What should that matter?

We hear that often. After a certain time, it will be too late to impeach. Why is that?

Afghanistan asks for explanation after Trump claims US could wipe it 'off the face of the Earth'

https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/23/politics/afghanistan-pushback-trump-comments/index.html

<snip>
"If we wanted to fight a war in Afghanistan and win it, I could win that war in a week. I just don't want to kill 10 million people," Trump said, seated beside Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan at the White House on Monday. "I have plans on Afghanistan, that if I wanted to win that war, Afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the Earth. It would be gone. It would be over in -- literally, in 10 days, and I don't want to do -- I don't want to go that route."

A spokesman for the Taliban -- a group the State Department says is responsible for beheadings, amputations, stonings and civilian casualties -- condemned Trump's remarks as "irresponsible."
