What more evidence is
needed to impeach him?
I was shocked when I read Hoppy Kercheval’s column (DP-Friday). He thinks the president deserves censure (nobody has been able to do that yet) and a slap on the wrist for the high crimes of bribery, extortion, abuse of office and abuse of Congress.
Gee, Hoppy, what would put you over the edge to demand impeachment of this man? Would he have to follow through on his boast to shoot someone? Grab a few more women? Disparage another war hero? How about a disabled person?
None of these are considered high crimes but surely they provide an insight to his character. Which leads me to believe there is no level low enough that he would not stoop to ingratiate himself.
Personally, I found all of his previous actions despicable and disgusting but this person is way over the edge. Literally asking a foreign government to interfere in our elections should be an enormous red flag.
He has his hands in Russia’s pockets and they certainly exert pressure on him, witnessed by his continued praise and defense of Vladimir Putin.
According to Hoppy there is no real crime since the investigation of the Bidens was never accomplished. I would venture to say there was insufficient time as he was caught when the whistleblowers report came out and they rushed to release the funds.
We investigate treason and acts of terrorism every day and the ones we prevent are no less punishable than the ones that maim and kill. The greatest threat to our democracy is the man at the top.
Am I tired of the theatrics and the everyday, every minute, all day long drama? Am I tired of the senseless tweeting, the cruel bullying, the constant lying and the flagrant abuse of the emoluments clause? Yes, yes and yes.
The Founding Fathers provided for this situation. Nowhere does it say that the accused must be found guilty of all the crimes, i.e. treason, bribery, extortion and other high crimes and misdemeanors to be impeached.
Impeach all who knew and abused our trust in defending this oligarch. In November vote Blue, and let’s get this mess cleaned up and start getting the people’s business done.

Hope Congress does
right thing by miners
When the United Mine Workers went to Congress seeking help in protecting our pensions we didn’t mean for a senator that knows nothing about what coal miners went through to get our pensions.
Then this senator (Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa) wants to change the bill to where we will pay more taxes on our pensions. Our senators from West Virginia are working hard to get the miners’ protection bill passed to prevent undue hardships for the coal miners who have earned these pensions and to protect their families.
We were promised these pensions by the very people who are holding up the passage of this bill. I would think that Congress would want to pass this bill as soon as possible instead of sitting on it until the last minute.
There is nothing I can say that will make these senators (Grassley and Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn.) who have never been around coal mines to understand what it means to work in the mines for 20, 30 or 40 years. All the while thinking you have a secure pension and then to possibly have your pensions taken away because Congress doesn’t want to keep the promise made.
All I can say is I hope that Congress will do the right thing before it is too late to prevent hardships.
