Declaration of War

President Trump declared war on the Democrats yesterday with his letter to Pelosi.  Here is the most incendiary language:

This impeachment represents an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power by Democrat Lawmakers, unequaled in nearly two and a half centuries of American legislative history.  By proceeding with your invalid impeachment, you are violating your oaths of office, you are breaking your allegiance to the Constitution, and you are declaring open war on American Democracy. You dare to invoke the Founding Fathers in pursuit of this election-nullification scheme—yet your spiteful actions display unfettered contempt for America’s founding and your egregious conduct threatens to destroy that which our Founders pledged their very lives to build.

Everyone, you included, knows what is really happening. Your chosen candidate lost the election in 2016, in an Electoral College landslide (306-227), and you and your party have never recovered from this defeat. You have developed a full-fledged case of what many in the media call Trump Derangement Syndrome and sadly, you will never get over it! You are unwilling and unable to accept the verdict issued at the ballot box during the great Election of 2016. So you have spent three straight years attempting to overturn the will of the American people and nullify their votes. You View democracy as your enemy!

Any member of Congress who votes in support of impeachment—against every shred of truth, fact, evidence, and legal principle—is showing how deeply they revile the voters and how truly they detest America’s Constitutional order.

You and others on your committees have long said impeachment must be bipartisan—it is not. You said it was very divisive—it certainly is, even far more than you ever thought possible—and it will only get worse!

You are making a mockery of impeachment and you are scarcely concealing your hatred of me, of the Republican Party, and tens of millions of patriotic Americans. 

=====================
Here is a completely unrelated article which says nothing about impeachment but has the same theme:

  1. We don’t believe you.
  2. You are all dishonest crooks and horrible people who should never be trusted again.
  3. The intelligence community is the enemy of the people and must be dismantled if any American is to ever be truly free.
  4. We are not going to voluntarily hand over our guns. You may come try to take them by force, but we will shoot you if you try.
  5. We are withdrawing our consent. You are now a rogue enemy government that we finally recognize as the ENEMY.
  6. We are never going to vote for establishment candidates ever again.
  7. We will not live as slaves, suffering under your tyranny. We would rather die as Americans, defending our liberty and our republic.
  8. If we ever get the chance, we will arrest all of you and throw you in prison for as long as you live.
  9. We will no longer cooperate with your sham court system, your corrupt FBI and your lawless federal regulators. They are all fraudulent, criminal cartels that have no legitimate authority. You have lost the consent of “the governed.”
  10. Your fiat currency financial system and debt Ponzi scheme is a criminal fraud that steals money from the working class. We will no longer hold your dollars and will seek alternatives at every opportunity.
Do not surrender an inch to this corrupt, lawless system run by traitors and tyrants. Every Democrat in Washington D.C., without exception, is guilty of treason and should be arrested, charged and treated accordingly. And half the Republicans are guilty of the same crime, by the way.

================================
I don't know what to say.  I think everyone should take a break and chill down the rhetoric.  I don't blame Trump for defending himself.

No one will read this, but I call on Congress to put the impeachment on hold until after the 2020 elections.  Give the voters a chance to weigh in.  If Trump is really that evil, as his detractors say, then they will have much more to charge him with.

The Democrats are idiots.  As a strategic matter, they should hold off until they have a decent chance of winning.  If you take a shot at the king, you better not miss.  Payback is a bitch.  But the Democrats don't understand that.  They are about to fire the opening shot in the war which they are about to lose.

This thing could escalate from a war of words to more street violence.  I hope not.
