<div dir="ltr">Tom, also on twitter from AndNow this (?) the day of the shut down Mich Michaneal described Donald as a 'roogue president while we have no government...' i haven't a clue if that'll translate to action though. The DOJ has said many times something to the effect even they don't know if charges made against Donald (or any other POTUS) can actually translate to legal actions . Someone else that knows more about civice than me can better at least guess that one. It'd seem like he could be tried on crimes without an impeachment being a citizen and all, I could very well be wrong though. At least of the watergate scandal documentaries i've seen they didn't know for nixon of that was do able. Bill Clinton they tried... I thought(just goin from memory) though they ultimatle got him on tax, and obstruction charges....<div><br></div><div><br><div><div><br></div></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Wed, Dec 26, 2018 at 2:31 PM Tom Johnson <<a href="mailto:tom@jtjohnson.com">tom@jtjohnson.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">You wrote: "...

<p class="MsoNormal">Merry christmas and a happy new year
2019! I hope Mueller will finish his report in 2019 and I
assume president Trump will either resign or be impeached
like Nixon, since the House belongs now to the democrats
(Did you know "Mueller" is the German version of "Miller"
btw? As you know a miller is someone who creates the flour
we need for life) Then Donald will spend the rest of his
life in prison or seek asylum in Russia. This would be the
end of "Trumpism". But who knows, it's a complex world. In
hindsight we will learn more about "Trumpism" as well. At
the moment it seems to be a mixture of the original Italian
fascism and post-soviet authoritarianism, i.e. the rule of
an authoritarian leader who demands absolute loyalty and
trusts only his family. I believe we can only decode social
systems if we really understand the various forms of *-isms
like fascism, nazism or communism, and how they are
related. <u></u><u></u></p>
