Letters to the Editor: Readers debate pros, cons of impeaching Trump

Trump’s wily subconscious

Because he is unconventional, some object to President Donald Trump; and they want him removed from office. Never before have we had a president who performed his job the way he does. He does not act like any of our other presidents because he uses his intuition more than they did.

Intuition comes from the subconscious. Remember when you learned how to ride a bicycle. You wobbled around. Then, suddenly you just did it, but you did not know how you were doing it. The reason you did not know is your subconscious and not your conscious mind was controlling the bicycle. When you were wobbling around, you were teaching your subconscious how to control the bicycle. President Trump taught his subconscious to make fortunes when he was young. Now he is allowing his trained subconscious to use his intuition to make this country more prosperous.

Presently, many Democrats believe they have found something in a telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that will enable them to impeach the president. However, this situation may have been created by the president’s subconscious for their disadvantage. Democrats should be careful around this old swamp fox.

Go away, Republican Party

First they said, “Trump did not do what he’s accused of.”

Then they said, “Even if he did do it, he’s acting as president.”

Then they said, “Okay, he did it, but it still wasn’t improper.”

Then they said, “Okay, it was improper, but not impeachable.”

Then they said, “We don’t care if it’s improper and impeachable, our president has absolute immunity, as opposed to any other president.”

The Republican Party demonstrates clearly, with no room for misunderstanding, that they care absolutely nothing about the United States, the Constitution, or the American people. They’ve embraced as their god a man for whom the concepts of ethics, honor, and honesty are utterly non-existent, whose sympathies lie with neo-Nazis, Klanners, and totalitarian rulers, who believes that the presidency makes him an autocrat whose word is unquestioned law. The only real question is why the Republican Party supports a president diametrically opposed to everything they pretend to care about.

It’s time the Republican Party was outlawed and every last one of its rabid supporters driven out — of government office, and the United States. Anybody that would “rather be a Russian than a Democrat” should be given 24 hours to make that preference a reality.

What will senators do?

My response to those who criticize the House impeachment inquiry: The House had to do it or fail in its duties. Every hearing, every witness, has been a step toward irrefutable fact: President Donald Trump’s guilt. But the Republican defense is, “so what?”

I don’t care so much about the verdict, but putting senators on record is tangible. Will it be principle and ethic, or will it be party over country? That’s the suspense.The Senate may acquit, but each vote will put Republicans on record for history — a vote to support Trump’s corruption and criminality or uphold the rule of law. The Senate vote will likely be inseparable from their interests and self-interest. Republicans are trying to maintain a crumbling social and governmental infrastructure they control. They can’t advance, so they’re waging a delaying strategy. They’re desperate to maintain their status and they face waning power. So are some evangelicals and white supremacists. So even coal miners in Kentucky, by actually swallowing the comforting Republican lies about a war on coal and, against all logic, fantasizing Trump will bring coal back (that is particularly embarrassing to me, originally from Eastern Kentucky and Letcher County, because they know better).

Trump helping everyone

The Democrats spend all their waking hours trying to destroy our sitting president. It’s a national disgrace. President Donald Trump has brought this country back from eight wasted years under President Barack Obama. Under Obama, we were accepting mediocrity. If a logical thinking and informed public were to vote the way they should, no Democrat would ever win. The Democrats are like the dog that bites the hand that feeds them. President Trump is not just doing good for Republicans, he is doing good for everyone.
