    Default GOP Members want to Impeach But Fear For Their Lives?

    https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-ne...afae541f5dc3c5

    So, what say you folks? You think they fear for their lives or do you think somebody is making up "stories"?

    Republican leaders are expecting about 10 to 20 House Republicans to vote for impeachment but sources tell CNN there are many more members who "want to vote to impeach but they legitimately fear for their lives and their families’ lives," CNN's Jamie Gangal reports.
    I rarely trust "sources say" stories anymore, now that I know that often their "sources" are not even close to the principal of the story and would have no ability to know anything they "source"...

    "Liz Cheney, these Republicans who have announced, they are showing courage at the same time as I have been told by Republican sources that members, Republican members, have said they are not going to vote for impeachment because they are still scared of Donald Trump," Gangal told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    How is Trump not the same as any Mafia style mobster racketeer? He's always been that.

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    This is the fact most Trumplings refuse to put their collective heads around. I mean, he was on TV! and he was Potus! he can't possibly be a criminal.


    You can't be a NY NJ and global real estate developer, casino owner, Russian business venturer and gong show host and not be mob compromised. It's a fucking job requirement.
    You are part of the payoff and kickback scheme game for bids, the buy politicians rackets, the buy judges racket...all of it.

    Trump wasn't sanitized, he PLAYED you.

    The Institution we call congress is full of those who are compromised by illegal dealings, and it shows, as these republicans in name only defect, it is most likely based on trying to get reelected, and Deals with democrats having markers called in, or dirt being dug on them!

    So that's terrorism. What you just described is terrorism. GOPers fearing that they will get retribution if they impeach Trump is terrorism.

    Think it's safe to say that many elected GOP members of congress were/are fearful for their political lives. Trump has influence over enough of his supporters to make it challenging for those politicians to win their next re-election. And re-election is the top priority for most of our elected officials....much higher than any loyalty to their party or their constituents.

    But there is certainly nothing special about republicans in this regard. It applies equally to our beloved democrat politicians.

    This would make a great script for a Columbo episode.
