      Complete opinion piece by Ben Satterlee, Eagle:

      >**Congressional cowardice** 

      >The Congress of the United States, once the platform of patriots, is now in very real danger of becoming mere window dressing for the Trump regime. The only legal solution to the current constitutional crisis we have been so wantonly plunged into by the president is to impeach him. 

      >Under any other circumstances, “mistakenly” deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia (a U.S. legal resident) to a prison in another country without trial would be grounds for impeachment, so why not now? 

      >Under any other circumstances, the president not faithfully executing the laws of the United States (such as flouting an order by the Supreme Court to return Mr. Garcia) would be grounds for impeachment, so why not now? 

      >Under any other circumstances, the president even hinting at deporting U.S. citizens for their political opinions would be grounds for impeachment, so why not now? 

      >Because this Republican Congress is full of cowards. 

      >**If Congress does not act now to impeach Trump and bring Mr. Garcia home, then they will not only be cowards, but oath-breakers and traitors.**

      Intransigence is the *entire appeal* of being in Congress since at least the era of the Tea Party, as they can just sit on their hands and kick everything up to the courts to settle.

      Frankly, I’m surprised there aren’t more CEOs/business leaders there given the pathology to this end?

      why don’t they say republicans. they’re in charge in both houses they could be doing oversight but they’re not

    4. Rand Paul was upset about drone usage by the government (Democrats). Where is he at with the calls for due process, or does he only believe in certain parts of the constitution?

      I’ll never forgive the Republicans

      When fascism came to America, they rolled out the red carpet

      In early 2021 the US Senate held the second impeachment trial of trump for his attempted coup on Jan. 6th.

      Many of his co-conspirators in the coup were serving as GOP Senators. They were allowed to serve as jurors in his trial.

      Unsurprisingly, they voted to acquit him. If they had voted to convict him then trump would have been ineligible to run for president in 2024.

      Most of those GOP Senators are still in the US Senate, having been re-elected by voters.

      Absolutely. Everton who votes to enable him and refuses to be the bulwark they were designed to be is a collaborator

      If Congress won’t act when the Constitution is clearly defied, then what exactly are they there for?

      We’re not having obstructive protests while American children are being deported and judges are being arrested.

      This is a failure of pretty much all left leaning leadership.

      This isn’t a failure of Republicans, those bastards are getting what they want.

      Republicans are treasonous coconspirators wanting to cash in on forever power.

      You say cowards, I say complicit in a fascist takeover.

      It’s been an open concerted effort since Garland was appointed by Biden.

      The donor class does not back people for Congress because they are stand up, principled people. They back them because they are compliant and they obey orders. They will not stand up to Trump unless the donors order them too. Even then, they are too afraid of a primary challenger backed by Musk.

      The only ones who will fight back are the ones who don’t take corporate money.
