Listening to John speak, the plain spoken, facts driven, passionate marching orders, was inspiring. Rough last week, this was the salve we needed to keep on keeping on.
Thank you for having this conversation on your Substack channel. I’ve been feeling uneasy- maybe even guilty - about the lack of action to impeach Trump but could not figure out how to state the reason for my concern. John helped clarify what should have been obvious. If we don’t call for impeachment we are part of the destruction of our democracy. If we believe that any of the actions Trump has taken are violations of the Constitution then we have to call for impeachment. To only do that when it’s “convenient” or when we think we have the public support to do so is mimicking exactly what Trump is doing - i.e. only upholding the rule of law - the Constitution- only when it suits us. We either believe in upholding the Constitution or we don’t. If we believe it’s being violated, we are duty bound to take action to protect it at the time of violation. Any delay weakens the strength of therule of law, the Constitution and our democracy! Thank you for helping me clarify my thinking - for setting me straight. Now, I need to get busy moving others in that same direction!
John’s words are very encouraging! I don’t understand why so many democrats are being so timid about impeachment. Felonious 47 has committed far more violations of the Constitution already than he did in his first term. The longer he’s in office, the more damage he will do! Jess, could you provide a written list of the Constitutional violations so far? That would be helpful when talking or writing to our elected officials. Thanks!
I think it's crucial, though, for all of us to recognize that trump is mostly just the frontman, the sideshow, the distraction. The technofascists and christofascists really running things are far more dangerous.
I understand your concern. However, I’m fairly confident that MAGA is loyal only to Trump. Nobody else. Without millions of blind followers, the their diabolical plan fails.
EXCELLENT! You are absolutely right. There is no perfect time. We must start building the case to impeach NOW so when we have the votes, it will go quickly.
Jess, you did it again. Thanks for bringing John on to talk to us and to better understand the impeachment process for these times. We are going to run with it!
This has been my biggest concern: . . . what are we going to do between now and the mid-terms. Now we know.
Yes, so much to do! Strengthen local government, make community networks for support & activism, register & educate voters, promote progressive media so we can get the word out, contact legislators, attend rallies...
The condemnation of the Republicans for providing articles of impeachment over and over against President Biden without proof is astounding and a huge waste of taxpayer money.
This effort at impeachment of Trump , as we all can see, is grounded in anti constitutional events that are occurring right now before our eyes ! Masked unknown people kidnapping people off the street and providing no due process, ignoring court orders, and starting a war with Iran, accepting a $400 million plane and ignoring the emoluments clause are all, but not the least of his corruption scandals against the constitution.
The person from the Impeachment Trump again .org is absolutely right, it must begin now, as he is breaking the constitution right now ! We must build momentum !
I believe he should be impeached as long as it takes JD VANCE and Mike Johnson out with him as well.
The issue is definitely throughout the administration. Vance is likely even worse than Trump.
Yeah, cuz he's smarter.
absolutely even worse. Trump's being manipulated; Vance would actually lead -- to an even darker place, if that's possible (and it is)

I agree he’s terrific!

Well said.
We need the entire admin removed. They are all corrupt
Incredibly informative — made me aware of how fatigued my own thinking has become. Thank you!
There is no moving on from this!!!!! He needs PROSECUTION
He needed prosecution YESTERDAY!! BRING IT ON
Such a powerful rallying cry. Thank you and yes, I will follow our marching orders.
Thank you for your work

The list is on the impeachtrumpagain website.
Thanks!
Great, thanks, Kristin!!

(And that's saying something.)
See, for example,

Also arguably er, foreign lien-holders and folks who fund the "new right"
I understand your concern. However, I’m fairly confident that MAGA is loyal only to Trump. Nobody else. Without millions of blind followers, the their diabolical plan fails.
I really hope you're right. I think the good guys need to plan for if and how the fascists hold power if Trump is not president
It’s always good to have a plan!
What about the fraudulent election? I want this whole administration out. People are holding office that they have no right to.
Thank you so much.
We need to remove some of the Supreme Court Justices! They are not working for the people .. but rather Trump. It is disgusting. And disheartening.
EXCELLENT! You are absolutely right. There is no perfect time. We must start building the case to impeach NOW so when we have the votes, it will go quickly.
I went to:

John Bonifaz does a great job making the case for impeachment!
