I just looked at Google maps of the golf course. It is not as if it had many trees in the first place. It now must look desolate.

criminal... and the frightening thing is that the courts can say this or that, but unless the judge is going to hold them at gunpoint and lock them up, they have long since realized that they can do what the hell they want... who is going to stop them? they are the ones with the private (and public) army, and with the justice department no longer in existence in its original Constitutionally contemplated form, who is going to do what? all the gloves are off, the masks are off, the pretenses, the charades, the elaborate Kabuki dances are over... we are a puppet state of Russia, we are beholden to the wishes of the oil companies and the tech giants... the options are getting fewer and fewer... i am sorry to say that I hold little hope for the mid terms... EVEN IF they are fair and free elections... no laws that the democrats will pass will get by trmp, and unless we have a 2/3 majority in the senate we cannot convict any impeached members of the cabinet or trmp himself. and for the sake of argument... lets say the democrats get enough republicans to go along, who will enforce it? who would remove the individual or individuals from office? hate to be a voice of doom, but all this stuff about trmp being dumb and not realizing what he has done to the republicans in the mid terms is nonsense. he does not care because I think he has other plans... either he does or Miller does...

"You can almost hear a Justice Department attorney quietly taking off his glasses and wondering whether his dental insurance would cover chewing through the desk."

I suspect it's more likely s/he would be wondering whether their legal insurance would cover punching the prez in the face.

Why have we not formed human shields around the Kennedy Center, the planet-friendly arbors, the site for a phony triumphf arch, our reflecting pool, our shot-dead citizens? Why? Soon there could be little left in America to defend. We will all exist as DHS-ID' Single Candidate Elections voters in the United States of King Trump.

We are witnessing Trump's political epilogue. Always displaying a brazen contempt for our constitutional rule of law, Trump much prefers the law of the jungle. As his buttresses of deception and lawless arrogance are reaching boiling points of undeniable contempt, a number of pending federal cases have reached their endgames.

In the court of public opinion, Trump vs. the American People is about to be heard. A convergence of midterm verdicts and the federal courts decisions are creating a crescendo of tension and anticipation. Trump's continued lawlessness and abandonment of the core values and credos of our nation are not sustainable.

The remaining question is not if, but when and at what cost will the Trump regime collapse under the weight of its own corruption and betrayals?

Anyone without presidential immunity would be jailed for contempt in these circumstances.
