Here are four crisply articulated reasons why Trump merits impeachment for breaking his oath of office and abusing his powers in such a way as to imperil our constitutional democracy....stay tuned for the kicker....
These very accurate and insightful paragraphs were published in March 2019, before the Mueller Report and before the White House released the damning summary of Trump's conversation with Zelensky. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
In other words, Trump's latest impeachable acts are just the most obvious in a long list of impeachable actions, something which virtually every Republican lawmaker, like pre-body snatched Lindsey Graham, has known for years.

This is your regular reminder that if only 4 Republican Senators decided to caucus with the Democrats, Mitch McConnell could be unseated as Leader of the Senate. So if Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Ben Sasse, etc. actually wanted to do anything, this is one thing they could do.
The Republican Party is knowingly and actively complicit with everything Donald Trump is doing. They pretend like there's nothing they can do to rein him in, but that is just their cowardice speaking.
These people took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States. If they believe the President is abusing his power, they have it in their power to hold him accountable today. So far, it appears their allegiance to the GOP trumps their allegiance to the Constitution.

Reading Sean Wilentz's review of "American Carnage," in which he sees the roots of Trumpism in GWB's presidency, brought to mind the way Bush stoked the fires of homophobic bigotry to boost his electoral fortunes in 2004. nytimes.com/2004/02/24/pol…
Bush announced his support for a *Constitutional Amendment* to ban same-sex marriage the very week that he kicked off his re-election campaign.
His target audience had no trouble picking up what Bush was laying down. The "gay agenda" had to be stopped in order save "civilization."

Historian Sean Wilentz reviews Tim Alberta’s “American Carnage.” I concur that the book’s constrained time scale obscures the deeper roots of Trumpism. The rot set in long before McCain picked Palin for VP. nybooks.com/articles/2019/…
I got almost 2/3 of the way through Alberta's book this summer before I had to switch out of summer mode. Here are some of my takeaways from what I think is ultimately a very important and insightful account of the last decade of GOP politics

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
