"The administration knows full well it will get its way on immigration and everything else.". A very scary thought. Right now, I would think that the administration is well on its way to complete victory. All the resistance and rough spots are being sanded down. The Democrat party has been trounced and are stumbling around in confusion. The Congress is completely tamed, even voluntarily relinquishing many of its powers to the executive. The media have folded, as are the universities, the NGOs, and the big law firms the administration has put its own house.in order, firing inspector generals, eliminating dissenters and packing the agencies with loyalists. Only the lower court judiciary remains as protectors of the rule of law. Trump wants to rule by fiat. To meet his ambition he will do everything he can to break the recalcitrant judiciary, eliminating the ones that displease him and installing loyalists, however unqualified, to any position that comes open. After all, if the Senate can confirm an Emil Bove, they will confirm anybody Trump nominates
Thank you, Lisa, for helping draw much needed and important attention to the criminal abuses and usurpations of power by Trump. I respectfully submit, though, that it's important not to think of Trump's misconduct as merely "impeachable for any other president." The truth is that Trump's conduct is impeachable. Our Constitution and Congress prove it.
Article II emphasizes that "[t]he President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States" can be impeachment for anything that Congress established was criminal as "Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Congress (with President John Adams) in 1798 did enact such a law and thereby shed light on the meaning of high misdemeanor. They enacted "An Act for the Punishment of Certain Crimes Against the United States" (also known as The Sedition Act of 1798). See https://constitutioncenter.org/the-constitution/historic-document-library/detail/the-alien-and-sedition-acts-1798.
Section 1 declared that "ANY persons" who "unlawfully combine or conspire together, with intent to oppose any measure or measures of the government of the United States, which are or shall be directed by proper authority, or to impede the operation of any law of the United States, or to intimidate or prevent any person holding a place or office in or under the government of the United States, from undertaking, performing or executing his trust or duty, and if any person or persons, with intent as aforesaid, shall counsel, advise or attempt to procure any insurrection, riot, unlawful assembly, or combination, whether such conspiracy, threatening, counsel, advice, or attempt shall have the proposed effect or not, [ ] shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor."
The foregoing federal criminal statute fits Trump and his co-conspirators like a glove. But it had a sunset provision. Section 4 declared it would "continue and be in force until the third day of March, one thousand eight hundred and one, and no longer." Even so, other analogous federal criminal statutes govern the president's conduct, including 18 U.S.C. Sections 371, 241 and 242.
Now is our moment—take action against this harmful government. Covering up a pedophile ring. Ignoring court orders. Blatant corruption. The poor, the needy, and children are being abused—by our government. In the streets we must protest outright crooks and the pedophiles until after their shooting us starts, until we go down or we oust tyrants. I made 54 protest signs, and will make many more to share. You will see something different in these signs! Help yourself to this second batch, and share them as far as you can.
Nothing less than complete, utter subservience is enough for Trump, just look at his attacks on Hawley and Grassley yesterday, two toadies nonpareil. Having the maga Supreme Court knock down every lower court ruling isn't enough, everyone must prostrate themselves to the king. Everyone.

Where’s Roberts? Sitting in his stately ivory tower where it’s always balmy weather.
