Progressive journalism is under attack. By Emily Singer The American Independent

Trump and his Republican Party of the Trump Cult have accelerated the pace, they had to.  For over 3 years they have be going about tearing up and then to rewrite the Constitution so it conforms not with a Democracy, but an Autocratic one party dictatorship. They will say and do anything tho defend the undefendable. They will stop at nothing to keep this criminal on the throne for his guilt,  his shame, Trump's crimes and abuses are also theirs.  They have placed Trump and in turn themselves above the law and above the rest of US. They have told Trump and Trump was eager for the recognition acceptance of his God like status, indeed, to not believe Trump is not the " Chosen One" make You and I enemies of Our Own Country.

To want this greedy racist ignorant presidential MORON to answer for his many sins and crimes makes me a liberal socialist a bad evil person and all that is further from the truth I am an American and I see TRUMP and the GOP KILLING OUR COUNTRY !

An Interesting Take: By Benjamin Whitney Winthrop Shallop

As much as it pains me to say it, I must admit that I prefer there be no witnesses in the Senate Trial. Better this farce be blatant than to lend it any shred of credibility. 

No amount of witnesses or evidence will ever convince the Republicans in the Senate to stand up to this tyrant and do right by their country. I could opine on the reasons why....cowardice, racism, corruption each could be explored in great detail, but the end result would be the same: they will not only not act against a tyrant, they will gleefully cheer at the fall of the Republic governed by the rule of law and the rise of a dictatorship governed by the whims of a narcissistic psychopath. Given the foregone conclusion it is blatantly obvious that any witness, any real exploration of evidence, would only serve to legitimize this monstrosity...and I have no desire to legitimize any of this. Let it be shown for the farce it is.

This is not to say our Republic is dead, just that it is critically endangered. Whether or not the Republic is dead will be up to all of us this November. It’s not enough to vote, you must volunteer, make calls, knock doors, donate to organizations that get the vote out, register voters and do everything you can to actively engage in the democratic process. Do everything you can to ensure this Orwellian Cliche and all his enablers are defeated come November or hail Caesar and kiss your Republic goodbye....there is no middle road.
