A warning from Edmund Burke 1770
"Whilst men are linked together, they easily and speedily communicate the alarm of any evil design. They are enabled to fathom it with common counsel, and to oppose it with united strength. Whereas, when they lie dispersed, without concert, order
"Whilst men are linked together, they easily and speedily communicate the alarm of any evil design. They are enabled to fathom it with common counsel, and to oppose it with united strength. Whereas, when they lie dispersed, without concert, order
or discipline, communication is uncertain, counsel difficult, and resistance impracticable. Where men are not acquainted with each other’s principles, nor experienced in each other’s talents, nor at all practised in their mutual habitudes and dispositions by joint efforts in
business; no personal confidence, no friendship, no common interest, subsisting among them; it is evidently impossible that they can act a public part with uniformity, perseverance, or efficacy. In a connection, the most inconsiderable man, by adding to the weight of the whole,
has his value, and his use; out of it, the greatest talents are wholly unserviceable to the public. No man, who is not inflamed by vain-glory into enthusiasm, can flatter himself that his single, unsupported, desultory, unsystematic endeavours, are of power to defeat the
subtle designs and united cabals of ambitious citizens. When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle."

This is as applicable now as it was 250 years ago. The is a cabal of evil at work in our
midst, with the goal of achieving absolute executive power. The window of opportunity to stop this insidious plot is rapidly closing. If Trump avoids a second impeachment by discrediting the Russian investigation and the resulting Mueller Report, he believes he will be home
free, to cheat the next election and complete the takeover of democracy with authoritarian oligarchy controlled by a select elite of billionaires.
But if the House preempts him with a new impeachment for crimes against the people, his corruption will be exposed for all to see.

And with that exposure, the American people will turn on him as a traitor who destroyed their lives and killed their loved ones. And so, the @SenateGOP would be forced to convict and remove him, or be decimated by a blue wave in November.
Will the House play their cards right? Will they show America they are the party that puts the people first, not a tyrant bent on destruction? Or will they abandon the people out of fear? @TheDemCoalition @DNCWarRoom @HouseDemocrats @SpeakerPelosi @RepAdamSchiff @SenateDems
