Publios; death of the American republic; GOP cult

Publios
I saw the 'impeached' forever bit. another good insight into how pretty and childish pelosi is
Publios
Thacker-: heh
Publios
it wasn't at all about protecting this country from a dangerous president to her
05:37 Publios
she made that clear
Ms_Emy is now known as Lord_Of_The_Kitties

Publios: I am inclined to strongly disagree.
EonEcho
It is a fact that Donald Trump has been impeached forever.
EonEcho
Can you expound on how the is 'petty and childish'?

EonEcho: he was acquitted and his approval rating has improved. the impeachment is going to be seen as  partisan nonsense much like Clinton's was. nothing about it was an effective rebuke or restraint on presidential power. it is practically meaningless.
Publios
for pelosi to state what she did shows her attitude about the whole thing
Publios
it was to stain and hurt trump not to do all the things she claimed it was for
Publios
like protect the Constitution and nation
EonEcho
Publios: Donald Trump was acquitted... in an extremely invalid trial.
EonEcho
His approval rating has modestly increased.

I strongly disagree with you on this impeachment process being seen as "partisan nonsense".
Publios
ya'll have fun with this. back to anime for now
EonEcho
The Democrats conducted an evidence-based investigation and impeachment, while the GOP conducted a sham trial based off cult dynamics that helped anoint a semi-monarch that is probably the great threat to the American republic in its history.
EonEcho
You're losing some standing in my perspective, Publios.
EonEcho
The impeachment process was not an effective rebuke or restraint on presidential power -- agreed.
EonEcho
There is no effective rebuke or restraint on presidential power in the American constitutional republic at this time, which is why Donald Trump is now a semi-monarch and the gravest threat to the American republic in American history.
EonEcho
The *cause* of that lack of rebuke or restraint on this mindless, incurious, psychopathic semi-monarch is the fact that the GOP is a cult.
EonEcho
The reason Nancy Pelosi has been emphasizing that he's "forever impeachment" and that he's "stained" with impeachment is because it's all she has.
EonEcho
She can't actually hold him accountable as long as the GOP is a cult.
EonEcho
So, she's using as much power as she has to conduct warfare on his mind.
EonEcho
Trump has one of the most severe cases of mental illness we've ever seen in American political life.
EonEcho
He has many distinct pathological elements, but one of them is he feels extraordinarily unloved, shockingly insecure, and full of hate and rage.
EonEcho
When Pelosi reminds him that he is "forever impeached" it severely attacks his mind and disables him from being a functional president.
EonEcho
This is morally good, as he is an evil person.
EonEcho
Hurting, weakening, disabling, and killing evil people is The Good.

Publios: There is no mechanism to protect the USA or its Constitution as long as Trump is president and the GOP controls the Senate.
EonEcho
Seeing that Trump's offense they focused on this impeachment process was attacking the 2020 election, and the GOP in the Senate gave him carte blanche to continue, and Trump's history of criminality both inside and outside the White House indicate he'll dramatically increase his attacks on the 2020 election.
EonEcho
Meanwhile, AG Barr has entirely consolidated power in the DOJ and there are no legal mechanisms to prevent these attacks, including outside Congress.
EonEcho
It is quite reasonable the American republic is dead.
