Every last one of them. Make it shameful to be an R. Conservatives will need to reconstitute under a different name.

But these thieves of our republic have also very likely stolen our ability to have fair elections, so the ballot box may not be available as our salvation, even if we bring out a Blue Tsunami in November.

As this is proceeding the Executive Branch will have all powers and will remain in the hands of the current peeResident and whoever else is anointed by the master.

Congress (especially the Senate) is performing a self-emasculation. All of the (r)epuglicons have a higher master also with bigger paychecks than those supplied by their US voting constituents. In other words the (r)'s don't give-a-shit what happens any more.

The remaining branch (judicial) needs teeth to enact their findings - assuming some may be against the executive. They have no power, only opinions.

The remaining power lies directly with the people, perhaps the states.

We should never fall for that again. They promote that idea -for us to do - To weaken us.

We are at war. They are the enemy. Hopefully this impeachment will teach us this lesson.

They have known it for a long time.
