Absolute Abuse of Power [View all]

Lord Acton is attributed as saying that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely".

We have reached that absolute point.

The Executive is abusing his power to such an extent that it is imperative that it be addressed.

He is picking his enemies and choosing the crimes that he wants them to be charged with. He then orders the DOJ and "his" sycophantic Attorney General to prosecute them. It is truly beyond the pale. It is unprecedented in the history of this country.

It has reached the point where he is charging other people with the crimes that he himself has committed. He wants the opposing political Party to be investigated and prosecuted for their association with Jeffrey Epstein, the child rapist and sexual abuser.

Incredibly, he is the person most mentioned by Jeffrey Epstein in his emails. But, he will not be investigated, only the Democrats.

Not only does he need to be impeached, he needs to be convicted and removed from the office of the Presidency. Not only does he need to be removed from office, but he needs to be criminally prosecuted for his abuse of power and his crimes against humanity.

It is for the good of our country and our people. The Republicans in control of Congress must come to their senses.
