So breaking all kinds of laws in order to kidnap migrant children and abuse refugees *isn’t* worth impeaching him over?
Family separation was a crime against humanity.

If that’s not enough, it was illegal.

If that’s not enough, it was incredibly unpopular and easy to understand.

Failing to impeach for it would be a moral and political failing.
They. Kidnapped. Children. Impeach the motherfucker.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to cover Trump’s authoritarianism. Here are two examples.
Richard Engle calls it what it is, and describes some of the tactics.

Not complicated, but Engle deserves a lot of credit for this.
This article describes the tactics too - accusing Democrats of a coup and treason, talk of civil war and fake news - but never calls it what it is. Not one use of the word ‘authoritarian’ or its synonyms.

It’s incredible how dumb Fox News thinks their viewers are. But she raises an important point. So let’s take a look at how, exactly, Trump is connected to Giuliani and Barr… /1
How Donald Met Rudy. /2
Next, why Barr is Trump’s man. /3

“[Barr] can look and I hope he looks at the UK and I hope he looks at Australia and I hope he looks at Ukraine.“
- Trump, 5/24/19
theguardian.com/us-news/2019/m…
I wonder if Barr considered that a suggestion, a hint, or an inference.
Trump publicly accused U.S. allies of faking the Trump-Russia scandal, in order to pressure them into helping his AG manufacture evidence of a “hoax”.

Now we know Barr was in on it.

#NancyPelosi: 'TRUMP'S CRUELTY TO CHILDREN IS NOT IMPEACHABLE—JUST A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.'

#Pelosi also implies those who pushed early for #impeachment lack integrity, deliberation, and fairness.

And she initially hoped there was exculpatory evidence for Trump with #Ukraine.
For anyone arguing that ripping families apart and traumatizing children isn't a crime, consider this:

"Last surviving prosecutor at Nuremberg trials says Trump's family separation policy is ‘crime against humanity’"

TRUTH MATTERS.

It matters whether it's politically expedient or not.

It matters whether it pisses people off or not.

This is the truth:

#BREAKING Trump gives in, drafts Executive Order to temporarily stop separating families at the border, per @MSNBC. So no more children as political hostages. But they’ll continue treating refugees as a whole as criminals? #CollectivePunishment #WorldRefugeeDay #Immigration
Trump: We have to be tough. Otherwise we’ll be overrun with people & crime.

So open cruelty may end but apparently “zero tolerance” won’t. 2500 children have already been separated from families. Crisis & incompetence remains as long as US criminalizes refugees. #WorldRefugeeDay
“I do thank you for your leadership”—DHS @SecNielsen begins AND ends her photo-op speech w/ Trump ostensibly ending family separation policy, eating her “there is no policy” words with an icky sycophant sandwich. (“Sycophant Sandwich” also a good caption for photo…because Pence)
