59. Attempted extortion of Zelensky was what his first impeachment was about.

He got away with it, then he got away releasing an army of True Believers who will kill for him, knowing they will suffer no consequences (in fact, I expect Felon47 to force the government to pay money to the "J6 patriots" for the suffering they've endured).

He now has an extra-legal army of armed terrorists who threaten the lives of anyone -- and their families -- who dares disagrees it Der Fuehrer. A news source will not use their name "for fear of retribution." Even the soldier who was assaulted by F47's goons at Arlington said she wouldn't identify her attackers for that reason.

Now he's extorting not only our nation, but the whole world. There is a tiny window left to get this sociopath out of power. After that we and the world will be remade in the image of a psychopath and his minions.

Think about how much has been sacrificed to grow our nation. How many people have suffered and literally given their lives to achieve social and scientific progress. The Founding Fathers were just men, but they were men committed to an idea, one which wasn't, "What's in it for me?"

God (or whatever's in charge of the universe) help us.

p.s., The most horrifying thing he said was during his pre-inaugural briefings for his first term was, "If we have nuclear weapons, why haven't we used them?" Putin has recently been doing above ground tests (demonstrations of power) and releasing the videos. All he has to do is say, "Donnie, real men use nukes," and there'll be a second red button on the (not) Resolute desk. Let's hope he doesn't get confused when he wants a Coke.
