Lowering The Bar/Standards For POTUS

Lowering The Bar/Standards For The President Of The United States

*Note: Robert Mueller could NOT indict Trump because the Department of Justice guidelines/rules/regulations preclude indictment of a “sitting President”, meaning that while he is IN office, Trump can’t face any criminal charges, only political ones, such as an Impeachment Inquiry.  He may have wanted to indict, but, he simply wasn't allowed to go there.  Many/Most Republicans seem to forget this extremely vital point.

*Another point to ponder:  Why do these Republicans, specifically, feel the need to “protect the President (Donald Trump)”, rather than uphold their oath of office? He doesn’t need protection, per se; he has the Secret Service for that.  He needs oversight from Congress, not protection. Checks and Balances, you’ve heard that term.  

Republicans in the House and Senate have forsaken their oaths of office and Trump played them like a bass fiddle.  Got ‘em hook, line and sinker. 

History will not be on their side, those Republicans, when it is written years from now.  It will compare and contrast them to previous seat-holders who chose country over party.  Some, the more desperate ones, have taken to lashing out at Democrats across the aisle, even resorting to one of Trump’s signature moves, name-calling.  It’s pretty shameful.

Three co-equal branches of government:  Judicial (SCOTUS), Legislative (House & Senate) and Executive (President and his/her Cabinet).   

The important part – Co-equal. All on the same plane.

As the Impeachment Inquiry begins in November 2019, the Republicans have decided among themselves that want/need to distract from the proceedings because they’ve run out of steam feebly attempting to defend the indefensible from Trump.  “Look over here”, “It’s boring”, “What about _____?”, and so on. If the Republicans in the House and Senate from January 20, 2017 until now, mid-November 2019, had provided and insisted upon oversight of the Executive Branch, we would not be enduring an Impeachment Inquiry… but, they were so thrilled to get this guy, Donald J. Trump, Sr. into office, they almost wet themselves.

*UPDATE -

Donald J. Trump officially Impeached by the House, December 18, 2019

The military aid issued to the Ukraine, about $400 million (in U.S. taxpayer dollars) had already been approved by Congress, so this notion that Trump or any President could withhold that aid for any reason, is preposterous, ridiculous, and again, shows someone (at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, IN the Oval Office) still doesn’t get, He/Trump doesn’t have absolute power over the U.S. Government. He can’t simply keep that money or withhold it for any reason(s).

The Republicans have lowered their standards so low that they see the Impeachment hearings as an entire waste of everyone’s time.

They don’t care what Trump and his cronies/buddies/surrogates say or do, as long as Donald J. Trump remains in office and in power.  It’s odd, strange and very weird that more Republicans/Conservatives in The House and Senate don’t speak out against Trump, not on Twitter or otherwise online, but in front of television camera publicly.  Again, makes you wonder.

By late November 2019, it is painfully obvious that the Republicans know their arguments in regards to “protecting” Trump and that he "did nothing wrong since the Ukraine got their aid" are dissolving faster than an ice cube on a hot stove, leaving them soaking in a swamp of their own making.   

Boo hoo, right?

Ah, but wait, dear reader... there's more!  More you say?!?
These are the goose-stepping, brown-nosing Republicans who refuse to give up Trump (not a complete listing):

Jim Jordan – kind of a whiny bitch, who insists on disruption. Definitely a Republican Snowflake.  

Lindsey Graham 
Mike Pence
Mick Mulvaney

Mike Pompeo
William “Chunky” Barr 
Brett “Keep-It-In-Your-Pants/Party Boy” Kavanaugh

Mitch McConnell

Paul Ryan

Ron Johnson
John Kennedy

Chris Stewart

Jared Kushner - nepotism

Ivanka Trump - nepotism

Donald Trump, Jr. - nepotism

Eric Trump - nepotism

Matt Gaetz

Steve Scalise

Mark Meadows

Bradley Byrne

Rob Portman

Mac Thornberry

Stephen Miller – Good ole, goose-steppin’ KKK, white supremacist

Kellyanne Conway – aging, acidic Barbie

Roy Moore – Rootin’ Tootin’ Yosemite Sam Moore

Ted Cruz – Lizard boy

Cindy Hyde-Smith – “You invite me to a hangin’, I’d be in the front row.”

John Ratcliffe

Rudy Guiliani – Former NYC Mayor, current flunky/whipping boy for Trump. Love those horse-mouth dentures, Rudy!

Devin Nunes – Trump’s “waterboy” – Why does Devin care so much about “protecting” Trump?  What’s in it for Devin personally over his country?  Gotta wonder…

Elise Stefanik – kind of whiny like Rep. Jordan. Harvard grad w/degree in Government. It seems as though, during the Impeachment hearings, she would deliberately, consistently, interrupt the Committee Chair (Rep. Schiff) with points that she already knew were out of order, based on the rules she was citing.  Sort of like she had the need to be recognized just to get her point(s) on the official hearings’ record, valid or not.

Mike Turner – On State Of The Union (CNN - Nov. 17, 2019), refused to answer questions directly related to Amb. Yovanovitch’s testimony and Trump’s Tweet regarding witness intimidation. Refused, flat-out.   Seems cowardly to me.  But why would he do that?  Kind of a Republican Snowflake.

Shelley Moore Capito

Sarah Huckabee Sanders – former White House Press Secretary

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says, "Republicans are in denial about the facts.  The sad tragedy of all of this is the behavior of the President and the defense of that behavior by the Republicans."
