Oregon’s ENEMIES OF DEMOCRACY - 36 Elected Republicans

Elected Oregon Republicans Accept Authoritarianism Reject Constitution And Impeachment.

Donald Trump über alles is the battle cry of the 36 deceptive smiley faces below of elected Oregon Republicans who oppose our American constitutional requirement of separation of powers and the obligation of the congress to hold the executive branch accountable for its behavior.

These 36 elected Oregon Republicans, the party of Faust, reject facts, science, evidence and truth. They stand by blind Republican tribalism supported only by lies and fantasy conspiracy theories. They envision government as a reality TV show. Their raison d'être is to transfer as much of our country’s wealth to the richest individuals and corporations as possible. They condone, indeed, invite Russian and other foreign interference in our Oregon and American elections. They rave pathologically cultish loyalty to orange skinned Apollyon, Donald Trump, as did the originally orange dressed people who were subservient, sometimes criminal, devotees of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.

These Republicans, who, in another time, would have enthusiastically voted for Jefferson Davis, say Donald Trump is fit to be President, an exemplar of values and behavior to Oregon’s and America’s children and should not be impeached for the serious charges laid against him by our United States House of Representatives.*1

These Republicans are brethren to those that clung to the disgraced Richard Nixon even after he resigned in ignominy.

These Republicans venerate Trump, and his crime family, despite legal judgements that closed down Trump’s so-called charity foundation for fraud and fined him two million dollars for stealing.

Along with Republican Senate leader, Moscow Mitch McConnell, these Republicans are now useful idiot comrades in Vladimir Putin’s long term disinformation campaign to blame Ukraine for interference in our elections which has been exposed and rejected as false by our Federal Bureau of Investigation, every one of our American Intelligence Agencies and the Mueller Report.

Concerned Oregonians will want to ask these shameless, fearful, if not cowardly, dissemblers why they have NOT issued press releases and posted them on their official websites exposing their tortured defensive arguments opposing the fact based, weighty and credible impeachment charges against Donald Trump.*1

“Contrary to what President Trump says, Article Two does not give him the power to do anything he wants. The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he cannot make him a baron.” Stanford law professor Pamela Karlin testified as an example differentiating between a presidency and a king.

Our forefathers fought against a king and for a democracy. In our country NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

Voting is not enough. Our government, “of, by and for the People” REQUIRES citizens to publicly participate. If we do not fight for our American democracy then the forces of darkness will surely take it away.

Take a good look at Oregon’s ENEMIES OF DEMOCRACY, then take whatever action you deem appropriate.

Constitutional Grounds For Presidential Impeachment

If a president can’t be investigated by Congress in an impeachment inquiry, he is effectively above the law. Then the United States is no longer really a democracy, but something else: an elected monarchy, or a dictatorship.

For Republicans to Consider

We Are Republicans, and We Want Trump Defeated

The president and his enablers have replaced conservatism with an empty faith led by a bogus prophet.

Patriotism and the survival of our nation in the face of the crimes, corruption and corrosive nature of Donald Trump are a higher calling than mere politics. As Americans, we must stem the damage he and his followers are doing to the rule of law, the Constitution and the American character.
