When you have Republicans and numerous progressives making the case for impeachment of Trump, then Trump is having a real problem. There is no question that Trump committed obstruction of justice. Trump has called on people to lie for him, fired people because of the Mueller report, resisted subpoenas, and refused to allowed officials to testify in Congress. Some of Trump's actions are worse than what Nixon did during Watergate. The Mueller report specifically documented incidents of Trump obstructing justice. Nixon resigned. Trump is refusing to submit to the principles of the separation of power and other aspects of democracy.
The reason is that Trump could care less about democracy. He wants an unitary executive branch with more political power than the legislative and judicial branches of government. Now, Democrats control the majority of the House. An impeachment is not about getting rid of the President immediately. An impeachment is about sending an injury in response to the crimes of the President. I support an impeachment of Trump, because no one is above the law. People have to allow one member of the executive branch to experience accountability. Congress has a job, and its job is the investigate these issues. While others want to appease the Trump regime, we will not compromise our core convictions.
Recently,Saudi Arabia has beheaded 37 political prisoners. This barbaric action is abhorrent, callous, and evil. The Saudi regime is funded by our taxpayer dollars. Trump is a key ally to Saudi Arabia despite its human rights violations. The reason that is relates to the oil interests that Western corporate elites dominate worldwide. Saudi oligarchy have massive wealth and they are key advocates for Western imperialists. That is why Saudi Arabia loves American corporate interests. Saudi Arabia's ambiguous antiterrorism law can equate dissent in some cases with terrorism. 109 people have had their headed beheaded in Saudi Arabia in 2019 alone. Top Wall Street executives and Riyadh representatives have meetings to grow their economic portfolios at the expense of dissidents dying. Western imperialists allying with authoritarians and tyrants shows that Western imperialists' claims of advancing freedom, and democracy are hallow. They don't desire real democracy but hypocrisy. We have to be clear on where we stand. We oppose imperialism, executions by beheadings, and suppression of human rights in any nation. We desire unconditional justice worldwide.
It is also important to acknowledge the hero Sister Ella Fitzgerald. She was born in Newport News, Virginia, which is in the 757. 757 is in the house as that is where I'm from. She was a famous jazz singer. Her scat singing was innovative and creative. She was in movies and television shows. She listened to jazz music from Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, and the Boswell Sisters. Fitzgerald performed with Dizzy Gillespie, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson, and Timme Rosenkrantz. She won many awards and had numerous achievements. People of every background and from every political spectrum loved her. They not only loved her talent. They loved her down to Earth personality and her charisma. Fitzgerald was a civil rights activist; using her talent to break racial barriers across the nation.
She was awarded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Equal Justice Award and the American Black Achievement Award. In 1993, Fitzgerald established the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation focusing on charitable grants for four major categories: academic opportunities for children, music education, basic care needs for the less fortunate, medical research revolving around diabetes, heart disease, and vision impaired. She has 13 Grammys. Her goals were to give back and provide opportunities for those "at risk" and less fortunate. In addition, she supported several nonprofit organizations like the American Heart Association, City of Hope, and the Retina Foundation. Ella Fitzgerald was a champion to our community.
Rest in Power Sister Ella Fitzgerald.
