#1 Author answers own question:

Attempting to subvert the will of the people (as expressed through our electoral process) by creating impeachable offenses out of whole cloth is not merely a breach of decorum, a "mistake," or "wrong-headed." It's sedition.

Treason and murder may also be discovered.

#2 For a long time, the establishment has been playing a "privatize gains, socialize losses" model for economic and political activity. Absent accountability in the form of tangible pain for specific actors when things go wrong, there will be no improvement.

#3 How? Destroy them at the ballot box.

Follow Boris Johnson's example: "One Nation" platform + one overriding cultural/social/political issue.

That issue is The Constitutional Rights of CITIZENS.

#5 "One Nation" platform:

- roll back all the Obama/Bush stupid policies that infringe upon our constitutional rights - amnesty/"Sanctuary Cities," campus kangaroo courts, gun confiscation, and shut down the rolling nonstop FBI/DOJ/CIA coup and the clownish impeachment Shitshow

- conclude our land wars in Asia and shift our strategic doctrine to one of staying offshore and balancing regional powers

- new trade agreement with U.K. & Australia

- vigorous pro-growth and pro-employment policies at home, with a central focus being the significantly raise incomes and savings for working class American citizens

- deport illegals, finish the wall, enforce employment laws, push up wages for unskilled native-born workers

- expand vocational education and reduce the number of people floundering in neither-nor, third-rate, 4-year colleges

#6 "The behavior of the Democrat party over the last decade has been that of an overt criminal enterprise, using the power of government to shield themselves from prosecution while engaging in eye-popping levels of corruption."

Sedition, corruption, perjury, nullification of our vote, framing citizens, rigging elections?

As Besoeker said: "Treason and murder may also be discovered."

Agreed. Now, what is going to be done about it?

Catch and release or full extent of the law? I'd vote for the latter if proven guilty in 'fair' courts of law.

#7 I had a list of ideas then I read Lexs post and pretty much agree with it all. That's certainly a very nice starting point.

#9 In line with the author's comments, there are only 3 kinds of Democrats:
1) those that are corrupt and fully intend to loot what they can and/or accrue personal power
2) those that aren't personally corrupt but are willing to ride the Dem's filthy coat tails to achieve their own ends
3) those that are too stupid to realize and admit that the Dems are an organized crime syndicate.

All three groups are morally ineligible to hold any public office.

#10 The first order of business is to make sure that Republican senators don't go squishy on the impeachment vote, if it gets that far.
