You became Psych so slowly, I hardly noticed.

There are really very few responses left for the right right now.

"Let the voter's decide!" Let me just throw this simile out there. This is like arguing that we should let a heroin addict who was just picked up by the police standing in the middle of rush hour traffic screaming about ants crawling all over them, decide whether or not they want to continue shooting heroin. There are legit reasons for an intervention, national security is a pretty good one. Considering the abuse of power already done, why would we wait for something catastrophic to happen?

"But, but, but.....this is not the sort of thing you overturn an election over!" OK, list five legit reasons for impeaching a president. If National Security or Abuse of Power isn't in your list of five; then let's discuss your list some more.

"My tax cuts! WTF is going to happen to my tax cuts?" OK, I hear you now. Maybe a deal can be worked out with Pelosi to leave those in place for a few years in return for helping to kick tiny to the curb. I implore you DC, stop sucking up to tiny and start sucking up to Pelosi now! Suck up like my tax cuts depend on it you sleazy bitch!

"Only hearing first hand accounts of the phone call now! Where are the half and quarter hand accounts of the phone calls? " Meh, we are probably beyond that. Leave that argument to Tucker and Ingraham.

"Process!". Yeah I think this one is done now as well. Only the Fox News rubes are buying that any more and no need to work on their support as it is proven to be unconditional. Quit wasting energy working to keep the cockle burr that is already deeply embedded in your sock, and the trumpublicans need more than just that group at this point.

There may be more but I got go. There is a discussion of a big merger later today and I am the champion of this idea, so I need to get my head in the game for that discussion.

Have some self-respect. A presidential candidate is asking us to hire them to run our country. Our country. The power that accrues with the job over us as Americans and across the world is staggering, immense. Every president since Gerald Ford has made their tax returns available. Why didn't Trump? What did he have to hide? To have the reassurance, (not certainty), that a person asking for such power does not have conflicts of interest, is the least a candidate/president should be willing to offer. Why don't you think we deserve to know? I know Trump and his republican enablers have done everything they can to lower our expectations, but we don't have to go along. Not long ago Jimmy Carter sold his peanut farm in rural Georgia after he was elected in order to avoid even the hint of any conflicts of interest during his presidency. We deserve to know, and if you don't agree, my heart goes out to you, and us.
