I want an answer from Congress. As a voter, as a veteran, as a citizen, I want an answer from someone. What is it going to take before Congress impeachs President Donald Trump?
A riot wasn’t enough. Outright lies? Illegal acts? Blatant disrespect and harassment? Name calling? Abuse of women? Abuse of anyone he doesn’t like? Retribution for anyone he doesn’t like? Apparently not enough to take action.
Monetizing the presidency for personal gain? Nope, Congress is apparently OK with him and his family and their cronies lining their pockets.
Acting like a petulant toddler on social media? Making the U.S. a laughing stock around the globe? Conduct unbecoming the president and commander in chief? Nope, apparently it’s all acceptable behavior now.
Ruining our economy? Disrupting trade? Creating chaos and instability?
Rounding up people off the streets and deporting them without due process? But he can free the criminals who support him and that seems to be OK with Congress.
Knocking down parts of the White House? A literal wrecking of the main symbol of our government, but still not enough to impeach him.
So again I ask: What. Will. It. Take?
What will Congress have done to stop him?
