As we enter the December 2019 Christmas season, I take note that our House of Representatives is caught up in an Impeachment Inquiry that is now passing to the Judiciary committee to write a report on articles of impeachment.
For me, certain things stand out:
- Donald Trump has committed impeachable offenses under the US Constitution.
- Abuses of power, & obstruction in both the Russia investigation & the Ukranian investigation are serious, disturbing, and impeachable.
- Collusion and extortion in Ukraine, to gather political dirt on a political opponent in the 2020 election has been proven, starting with the Ukraine call summary released by the white house.
- The House of Representatives will likely impeach Donald Trump.
- The Senate will likely refuse to remove him and will thus acquit him.
- Our 2020 election process is currently under foreign and possibly even domestic attack.
- Our Republic is threatened because of insane partisan bickering and a stubborn refusal to acknowledge reality.
- Certain elements on the right side of the aisle of our country’s populace are threatening violence and civil war if Donald Trump is impeached and removed from office.
- Tension and outrage are only increasing daily as Donald Trump continues to push the boundaries of decency and reasonableness, through continuing abuses of power.
The country is practically torn into two pieces, between the facts of what is actually occurring and an insidious, alternative denial of the facts. Right is no longer recognized, and wrong is widely applauded and celebrated, most especially by those who once considered themselves to be the party of righteousness and God; though this is certainly not the case any longer and may never be again.
More than half of our public citizenry in America is watching in frozen horror as events continue to spiral down, into what we do not know. And an out-of-control “president” at the helm of our nation freely exercises his power to destroy the common good for all Americans, through a steady, daily stream of controversial, harmful, and unbelievable legislative acts.

It may be an effort that ends without the Senate doing their job, but if the impeachment is carried in the house it prevents anyone from issuing a pardon to the president down the road and he can be held accountable after he leaves office in court.
Our country is divided and yes, it is unhealthy for us as a country. I pray that people wake up to see the damage being done to our Constitution and the fabric of the country before it is too late.
