The time has come to see who believes in the Constitution of the United States of America


...I believe that a few republicans, will not dismiss the House report. A few will agree to have the trial, and that is the time that those few will be dismissing all chances of being reelected in strong republican districts. Instead of dismissing the trial immediately, those few, even if it is 2, will stand with the rest of the nation. Stand with the Constitution of the U.S.A. And that will be the major vote no matter what happens afterwards.

..If there is a trial, the truth will be shown to all, as it has been. Who are those two? It doesn't matter. But in the end, we will have a trial, and it will bring out the facts as they have been shown. Yes, it will be ugly, and it will get uglier, but there will be a trial in my opinion.

...This is the reason that senators are elected for 6 years. Their position is much stronger. Perhaps those who vote with the Constitution will survive the wrath of Trump and his puke friends.

..Look to post # 16, Republican Values.."not getting caught"

Original post is about Chris Collins, NY former congressman, getting caught using information he got through his job to enrich himself and his son. (through inside stock information)

Lucky Luciano states in post 16, true Republican values of Trump and Chris Collins,....."not getting caught"

Chris Collins got caught on a stock deal...26 months in prison.
Donald Trump got caught on trying to get info on opponent illegally...(paying someone)
.............................................................impeachment.............

Deep down, neither thought they would never get caught, but they did. These two thought they would ..."get away with it."....just like any common crook, but they got caught.

What do you know?...Crooks get caught. Nothing new.

Post 16 is at the link below:

Ed Schultz and Keith Olbermann featured Rachel before she got her own show.

I remember hearing Rachel as an occasional guest on the Ed Schultz show, on "Air America" network. After that, Rachel was a guest on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann show. Therefore, some hosts helped her along the road and must be given a little credit for that interview last night. No one in TV land makes it totally alone.

(CNN) — The Government Accountability Office says the Trump administration broke the law when it withheld US security aid to Ukraine last year that had been appropriated by Congress -- an issue at the center of the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

The GAO, a nonpartisan congressional watchdog, said in a decision issued Thursday that the White House budget office violated the Impoundment Control Act, a 1974 law that limits the White House from withholding funds that Congress has appropriated.

The Office of Management and Budget told the GAO it "withheld the funds to ensure that they were not spent 'in a manner that could conflict with the President's foreign policy,'" said Thomas Armstrong, the GAO's general counsel.

"Faithful execution of the law does not permit the President to substitute his own policy priorities for those that Congress has enacted into law," the GAO wrote. "OMB withheld funds for a policy reason, which is not permitted under the Impoundment Control Act. The withholding was not a programmatic delay. Therefore, we conclude that OMB violated the ICA."

The last paragraph is the key..be sure to read it...

Who is telling the truth? General Accounting Office or Donald Trump?

GAO says withholding funds was against the law.

Trump will say it was not against the law. (he hasn't said anything on this yet)

Who do you believe? Trump or the General Accounting Office. or Who tells the truth?

About the aliens visiting the earth....Yes, they have been here, but..........

Yes, I think that they have been here..Why? Of the millions and millions of stars that there are, and tens of thousands have planets, I suppose. And, if a few of those planets have evolved farther than we have...say five hundred years ahead of us, perhaps they are able to exceed the speed of light and go galloping around the galaxy..(perhaps)

...Now if those faster than speed of lighters, have taken a look at us, just suppose they did, now what would they say?
... They might say...1. "Too primitive to deal with."
........2.. "Too war like to deal with."
........3. " Stay away from these beings, they look dangerous."
........4. "What good is it communicating with them?"


What do you think the reasons that they have not communicated with us? Got any ideas? Share them please..

Maybe you think they haven't been here? I think they have, but if you think they haven't please express that too.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
