Since its creation, the United States of America has sought to find a balance between federal power and state power. All with the belief that a government EXISTS to protect the rights of the PEOPLE. This was a radical concept.

After the failed fractured government of the Articles of Confederation, men like Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson and George Washington knew that the country needed a national leader and a federal government.

I am reading up on the ADX Florence supermax prison.
There are a several Americans imprisoned there who shared classified information with the Russians.
They are serving lengthy prison terms.
Russia is not our friend.

Robert Hannsen is interesting.
He is currently serving 15 concurrent life sentences.
He voluntarily passed US classified information for years.
I notice that the majority of his work with Russia came during Democratic presidencies.
I would like to see @DonaldJTrumpJr answer some questions about this:
"Documents provided by the NRA show that at least one unidentified person had misgivings about the interaction. The NRA provided copies of two text messages dated May 23, 2016..."

"...showing an unidentified individual warned [@DonaldJTrumpJr] to avoid “a Russian gal” he’d met that weekend.
“I understand that someone introduced a Russian gal to you this week. I’ll fill you in this week but I would steer clear if she tries to reach out to you.”

Here is a September 2019 report from the Senate Committee on Finance titled: The NRA and Russia, How a Tax-Exempt Organization Became a Foreign Asset.
1/
"Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., in February 2018 began an inquiry of
the NRA following public reporting of potential improper activities related to financial contributions and
its role in the 2016 presidential election."
Images of anonymously uniformed federal agents arresting protestors in Portland feels like fascism. We are witnessing the ground level of something terrible.
It reminds me of a deeply disturbing book called Ordinary Men by Christopher R. Browning.
1/
Ordinary Men describes the descent of average German citizens to murderers who would say things like, "It was supposed to be...soothing to my conscience to release children unable to live without their mothers," describing how they rationalized murdering children.
.@realdonaldtrump “was so consistently unprepared for discussion of serious issues, so often outplayed in his conversations with powerful leaders like Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Erdogan...”

“and so abusive to leaders of America's principal allies, that the calls helped convince some senior US officials -- including his former secretaries of state and defense, two national security advisers and his longest-serving chief of staff...”

I am breaking down a Holocaust guide for work and it has my social studies brain spinning in a hundred directions. There are so many relevant lessons for 2020 America.
1/
I’m not making a sensationalist claim that there are going to be camps in America, or we are headed for genocide.
I am pointing out that the voices from these stories are crying out to be heard, and for us to remember HOW the Holocaust happened. It is a warning.

1) Thread where I will argue that @realDonaldTrump is potentially guilty of every article of impeachment approved by Congress for both Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon combined.
2)Roger Stone has been found guilty on all counts related to his obstruction of the Mueller probe. This should fill in a lot of the blanks left by redactions.
