Why Trump's Impeachment is a Farce


The democratic leader, Nancy Pelosi, announced last week at a news conference, when discussing Trump's impeachment proceedings said, “All roads lead to Putin.” This struck a visceral chord, because we know from the Mueller report, and the latest revelations from the Inspector General that, there was zero evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia and, the corruption of the FBI in its dealing with the FISA court, lying in order to spy on American citizens in relation to the Trump presidential campaign in 2016. Not only did the FBI, based on false reports, spy on the GOP campaign through wire taps, but used agents to wire themselves to catch Trump's team. This is an illegal spook operation to stop Trump from becoming President. It didn't work, yet a corrupt democratic party move ahead on Treason accusations, claiming that Trump colluded with Russia to stop $ for munitions to Ukraine, in order to get dirt of the corruption on Joe Biden, a democratic presidential hopeful in 2020. The democrats chose to narrow their impeachment on this collusion charade, rather than focus on Trump's many emolument clause violations, including illegal campaign contributions. And there's a reason for this.

If one has paid any attention, in just over two weeks, the government approved an extra $180 billion for the US Defence budget. This is more money than at the height of the Iraq war. Adding insult to injury, the bi-partisan government approved the continuation of the Patriot Act, If you do not remember the Patriot Act, it abolishes, for the most part, habeas corpus, and green lights unfettered surveillance on American citizens and the world. While the Mc-resistence attacks any anti-war activist as a Putin Puppet, and anyone who attempts to tell the truth about Syria, are called Assad apologists, the democrats have voted and fast-tracked right wing judges into the system. While the “resistance” screams for impeachment, billions of dollars in weapons of mass destruction has been sold to Saudi Arabia, currently committing genocide in the poorest country on the planet, Yemen. Lastly, the democratic party cannot impeach Trump on any of the real illegal issues, because they themselves are guilty of similar crimes.

The impeachment of Trump is a farce because its basic premise, treason, has already been proven to be false. While absolute war criminals like Bush 2, and the reptilian VP Cheney, made millions of dollars on the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, respectively; including a torture campaign that is against the US Constitution and International law, were never impeached, and like today, the democrats were/are complicit in these crimes.

A few journalist (left wing pundits) has called Trump's impeachment as a mass *distraction*. From my view, this is absolutely the case. For if the democratic party truly wanted to remove the “Orange- Con man”, they would impeach him on financial irregularities, like making millions through his hotels. They would impeach him on campaign finance crimes, and blatantly lying to the US people regarding paying off a porn star during his campaign. This is not to mention firing up illegal wars in the middle east, sanctioning “enemies, and backing fascist coups in South America.

The US lost its position on the planet as a leader of democracy, when they caved to the money of corporations. These politicians have been bought, and that's why nothing of significance has changed for the better, for the common working citizen. Politicians are beholden to $ of corporations, and under the thumb of an un-elected bureaucracy, that many call the Deep State.

This impeachment at best is a distraction, and when getting into the weeds realise, its all based on lies and propaganda. And we the people, should know better.
