Who else suspects there is more to this story? The Don often says that the US is an exporter of oil products. We have more than enough. Perhaps this is a way to launder US taxpayer funds through the Russian oligarchy to benefit Putin, and back into a Swiss bank account to benefit the $TrumP family.

The Constitution allows it. South Korea has proven it works. If you want to make impeachment viable—and so much else is pointless if you don't—then it can be done by a simple majority adopting a simple rules change: vote on the verdict by secret ballot.

A Democratic Senate Should Adopt Secret Impeachment Ballots on a Priority Basis
Such a change, requiring no constitutional amendment, would free senators to vote their judgment instead of their fears

The Don tells people to pretend he’s on the ballot. I hope they do. Hope they let him know how pissed off they are. Vote blue across the ballot.

I believe that was the plan all along. The richest people in the world — tech bros especially — see themselves as multinational powers, Diminishing US power means there is no one government with the capacity to stand up to them.
