<p>Mitch McConnell will be taking an oath before the trial in the Senate regarding removal of corrupt President Donald Trump.</p><p>He will take an oath promising he&#8217;ll be impartial and consider all the evidence before making a decision. How can he be impartial when he has already said that he&#8217;ll be coordinating with the defendant, Trump?</p><p>Can you imagine what would happen if a member of the jury in a criminal trial said that they have made their decision before the trial began?</p><p>Not only will Trump be on trial in the Senate, but the members of the Senate will be on trial, and their constituents will have to decide if they acted in a way to be reelected, or in the best interest of the country and Constitution. If Republican congressmen are OK with what Trump did in the Ukraine, then they can&#8217;t complain if they learn several Democratic presidential candidates offered to repay the favor if a foreign country contributed money to their campaign and used Facebook to make their opponents look bad.</p><p>Many of us wonder how about 40 % of Americans can still support our president and oppose his removal. Let&#8217;s not consider his stupid, rambling tweets, his thousands of lies, his un-American, traitor-like attitude toward our investigative agencies, the press, our judges and Constitution.</p><p>The most common reason why Trump&#8217;s supporters don&#8217;t want him removed is the economy. His tax scam did benefit the upper 10% and corporations, causing the stock market to go up, but he has not reduced drug prices or health care costs, and he isn&#8217;t fighting to increase the minimum wage or improve background checks.</p><p>So why do so many working class people support him? Can it be his charisma that makes him an effective cult leader? Or is it because he is not a politician? Or is it because he is pro-life, even though he has flip-flopped on that issue several times and reversal of Roe v. Wade does not guarantee states will outlaw abortions. Or is it because his foreign policy? Are his supporters so naive that they don&#8217;t realize Trump is Putin&#8217;s puppet?</p><p>There are many pro-democracy demonstrations happening all over the world, yet our anti-democracy president still has many supporters. Go figure!</p><p>JackCzarnecki</p><p>Dallasa</p><style>
