Of course, presidents have always stuck their people in, you wouldn't expect anything less, but the laws have always been there to protect the country. And that is what, i see that the impeachment represents, stopping the divide of unlimited power.
Now, whether or not the Democrats had in one way, gone a bit broad in the charges, to ensure that the chafges would stick, as opposed to charges very specific, which, would give the defense an easier time of obfuscating, hiding & avoiding the charges through subterfuge, lies, & delaying tactics. Even though the rules for this had been updated & approved by both parties, when holding the charges up to a 240y/o document that is as far away as hipsters trying to deal with a rotary phone, is dubious. High crimes? Loose definitions & interpretations had made many a lawyer rich on the backs of innocents & the guilty for as long as we had been a country.
But i have hope. Thin as it may be, that this will hold off the further decay and ultimate divide of the working class to the ruling rich, elite.
Yes, i do believe that this century will see another civil war. This country is being pushed in too many directions that we will break wnd feed on ourselves. We are the world's: leader, bank, police, military, humanitarian, lawyer, executioner, justice, doctor, work, entertainment(and that is Trump's job), transportation and many other titles. We as a people forgotten what it took for us to get their, only revelling in the fact that we are on the top.
Trump rallies around with the 'MAGA' slogan, yet has only bolstered it by his own words. his tactics of bullying, and then trying to be a bigger bully do nothing in the end. The populace are contended to "CYOA"(cover your own ass) in all things legal & illegal(red flag laws), built up by corporations that only care for profit, damning everything in the wake of profit.
I've rambled on about this too much, now.
