The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

Our constitution says we have a president, not a king. It is President Trump, not King Trump.









Governor Cuomo replies to Trump’s claim:

"I don't agree," Cuomo said on CNN. "I don't agree with the president's legal analysis. The president doesn't have total authority. We have a constitution. We don't have a king. We have an elected president. That's what our founding fathers did when they wrote the constitution. And the constitution clearly says the powers that are not specifically listed for the federal government are reserved to the states. And the balance between federal and state authority was central to the constitution, it's one of the great balances of power. And the constitution has served his nation very well for a long time. Again, they didn't want a king otherwise we would have have had King George Washington. we didn't. we had President George Washington elected by the people."

Kaitlan Collins and Paula Reid are my new heroes.

“Trump said, “The previous administration gave us little ammunition for the military and very little self space. Let me just tell you. You know. You know the answer. That the previous administration — the shelves were empty. What you should do is speak to the people from the previous administration and ask that question.”

Cooper said, “You left a 69-page playbook for dummies. How do you respond to that?”

Rice said, “This would be comical if it were not too serious and deadly. We have the president of the United States who said in a straight face after being in office three years that he takes responsibility for nothing. Imagine that. We never heard that ever out of the mouth of the president of the United States.”

She continued, “The fact of the matter is when the Obama administration left office, we left the national strategic stockpile fully stocked, adequately prepared, as one would expect it to be. That has been validated by independent journalists who had the opportunity to visit the stockpile in late 2016. But more than the stockpile, we left this incoming administration with all the tools that we had created for ourselves and that they needed to confront such a pandemic. We understood that a pandemic was not only predicted but was actually inevitable. The only question was when. In 2014 President Obama warned the nation that this could happen. I established an office in the National Security Council purely for the purpose of tracking pandemics and outbreaks and biological threats. That office was disbanded by 2018 by the Trump administration.”

Attacks on press credibility endanger US democracy and global press freedom

The Trump administration has stepped up prosecutions of news sources, interfered in the business of media owners, harassed journalists crossing U.S. borders, and empowered foreign leaders to restrict their own media. But Trump’s most effective ploy has been to destroy the credibility of the press, dangerously undermining truth and consensus even as the COVID-19 pandemic threatens to kill tens of thousands of Americans. A special report of the Committee to Protect Journalists.

President Trump incited insurrection Friday against the duly elected governors of the states of Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia. Just a day after issuing guidance for re-opening America that clearly deferred decision-making to state officials — as it must under our Constitutional order — the president undercut his own guidance by calling for criminal acts against the governors for not opening fast enough.

Trump tweeted, “LIBERATE MINNESOTA!” followed immediately by “LIBERATE MICHIGAN!” and then “LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!” This follows Wednesday’s demonstration in Michigan, in which armed protestors surrounded the state capitol building in Lansing chanting “Lock her up!” in reference to Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and “We will not comply,” in reference to her extension of the state’s coronavirus-related stay-at-home order. Much smaller and less-armed groups had on Thursday protested on the state capitol grounds in Richmond, Va., and outside the governor’s mansion in St. Paul, Minn.
 
Do words matter? Yeah, words matter. Pretty irresponsible choice of words, no? This is what we should expect and accept from our presidents?

When President Donald Trump tweeted "LIBERATE MINNESOTA!" on Friday morning, some of his most fervent supporters in far-right communities — including those who have agitated for violent insurrection — heard a call to arms.

The tweet was one of three sent from the president's account, along with "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!" and "LIBERATE VIRGINIA, and save your great 2nd Amendment. It is under siege!"

Trump's tweets came after small protests by Trump supportersbroke out in a handful of states, many of which were fueled by anti-vaccination and anti-government groups. Anti-government sentiment has percolated among far-right extremists in recent weeks over the stay-at-home orders governors have issued to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

Trump's tweets, however, pushed many online extremist communities to speculate whether the president was advocating for armed conflict, an event they’ve termed "the boogaloo," for which many far-right activists have been gearing up and advocating since last year.

There were sharp increases on Twitter in terms associated with conspiracies such as QAnon and the "boogaloo" term immediately following the president’s tweets, according to the Network Contagion Research Institute, an independent nonprofit group of scientists and engineers that tracks and reports on misinformation and hate speech across social media.

Posts about the "boogaloo" on Twitter skyrocketed in the hours after the president’s tweets, with more than 1,000 tweets featuring the term, some of which received hundreds of retweets.
