That's not hyperbolic. We are at a deadly serious crossroads in our history.

I look forward to the progressive policies a Democratic president will be able to enact under these expanded presidential powers.

100 years from now. That's a good one. Between, poisoning air, water, food, unlimited guns and right wing IV's of pure hate, Jesus freaks praying for and pushing apocalypse and rapture, Climate destruction, and the GOP with nukes, there is no future. Another 4 years of trump and THIS GOP, it will all end within 10 more yesrs. That is why they are all in, no future to judge. We have one year to begin salvaging any future. Between November and next January, he can end the world, and does not care. Knows he is at the end of his miserable existence and hates that anyone else may still be here.

Thanks for the video. We are in a dire situation. As a VietNam era vet, I thought things were bad. This shit now feels as helpless. And we could not even vote. Now,100 million just can't find the time to vote or care.

If a Dem gets in the White House, they'd be impeached for much much less than this.

But what this acquittal will really mean is that in order to beat Trump, the Democratic candidate will have to face the entire power of the US Federal Government which is now officially part of the Trump campaign.

I've got goosebumps. What a true patriot she is. She really loves this country and what it stands for, and she's been around long enough, as have I, to remember when most Americans valued what we stood for.

Now, I'm not so sure if most Americans care about what the founding fathers fought for. Either that or they just take it for granted that it will always be there without each and every one of us fighting to keep it.

Am I missing something? Are there people here who don’t agree? Small wonder we got to this place in time if this is our level of concern.

And the brainwashed, foolish clan cheers them on, not realizing that they, too, will no longer recognize the land in which we live.
