Unbelievable, heartbreaking, disgusting images on the television tonight.

What the hell is going on in this country?

It's heartbreaking that people could not only do that, but THINK that way.

Domestic terrorism. 

But 45 will never call out their actions.

No, but 45 (God, I loathe him) will always find the time to tweet about CNN, Arnie's stint on THE APPRENTICE or any other subject that he delivers with his poor grammar and shitty use of syntax.

I sincerely hope the death of Heather Heyer leads to the retirement of the term "alt-right." If it walks like a fascist and talks like a fascist and kills like a fascist, I think we know what it is.

The world is full of stupid people. Far more than smart. A brief glance at history tells us this.

And Trump STILL COULDN'T CONDEMN WHITE SUPERMACISTS AND NAZIS!

"On every side..." - pandering to every single voter, as if he thinks he has a chance to be president in 2021.

There are so many of us who will never forget what has happened and will not tolerate it happening again. I hate that these occurrences demand violence in response... but those stupid people don't understand much else.

Is there anyone here with a legal mind? How realistic is this?

Legally, it's utter BS.  Hard to believe anyone as smart as Reich believes what he's saying.  Either he's trying to excite the base or he's lost it . . .   Probably the former, as the only correct thing he's said is that there's no chance of impeachment with a Republican house.  Of course, I think there's no chance of impeachment with a Democratic house either.  Nancy Pelosi has already hinted as much.

Heartbreaking and disgusting? Yes. Unbelievable? No.



What the hell is going on in this country?



The hatred and ignorance is nothing new. It's just that people who hold
those views are again becoming emboldened to publicly demonstrate that
hatred and ignorance. Why that is the case, I cannot say.

As terrible as what happened in Charlottesville is though, I continue to be far
more troubled by the fact that there are many people who secretly share the
same beliefs as those Unite the Right demonstrators, and those people are
bankers, judges, lawyers, members of the armed forces and law enforcement,
politicians, teachers, etc.

Think about that for a moment.

Now imagine because of your hue that thought sitting somewhere in your
head every moment of every day of every week of every month of every year.

That takes an incredible toll on a person.

I hadn't heard of Reich until someone sent me that tweet.

I'd like him impeached, but obviously only for something he has actually done. I do have some friends who are advocating illegal means to get him impeached, but we're all better than that, surely?

Has he actually put his business affairs into a blind trust? I'm hearing conflicting views on that.
