Call to Revolution

For John, BLUF:  Language being using in the Impeachment Trial is intemperate.  Can people live up to that language?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Will Democrats Take Up Arms To Remove 'Dictator' Trump Or Are They All Talk?

From Town Hall, by Opinionator Kurt Schlichter Kurt, 27 January 2020.

Here is the lede plus three:

I want to know why you Democrats are such cowards that you have not yet launched another civil war to free America of the totalitarian nightmare of President Donald J. Trump.  I mean, if he’s truly Hitler 2:  Electric Boogeyman, then isn’t it your sacred duty to remove this cancer on our body politic with arms if necessary?  Look, I get that you Dems have a track record on insurrections designed to oppress the rights of Americans you feel superior to that is pretty poor (0-1) but come on, heroes of democracy, make your move!  Just sitting here in the midst of this crisis you keep whining about makes you look like sissies or lying piles of talking garbage.

Actually, both.

Your hero, Jerry Nadler, while on parole from the chocolate factory, told the Senate this about our elected president:  "Only his will goes.  He is a dictator.  This must not stand and that is another reason he must be removed from office."

A dictator?  Hey, that’s bad, right?  I mean, unless the dictator is a leftist – wasn’t Castro dreamy?  But since this is a threat to our democracy, because Trump is a non-leftist dictator, aren’t you guys morally obligated to take action and remove him?  It’s obvious that those treacherous treason-loving traitors of treachery, the Republican senators, won’t toss the guy who did nothing wrong out of office so you can start working on throwing Mike Pence out of office, likely for the high crime and misdemeanor of trying to make America into The Handmaid’s Tale?

I think we can give the Democrats a pass while the Senate is holding a trial for President Donald John Trump.  But, if there is acquittal, then what?  Should the Democrats not take to the streets?  A Dictator is a bad thing.  It is inimical to to our Republic.  Representative Nadler's words demand action.

On the other hand, what if he is convicted but not barred from running for office, a la Representative Alcee Hastings?  What then?
