Response efforts have not instilled much confidence either. Testing kits were notg probaby sent to the hospitals, and medical labs around the country, political personnel has overruled the recommendations for the cdc. In the administration was slow to appoint any single official for the Public Health expertise to coordinated our governments response. Even now, President Trump seems to be spending one of us time blaming commedia and blaming the democrats and being constructi constructive. Infective blades everyone. He is downplaying, the virus to a dangerous degree. His chief of staff amazingly said to americans, turn off your televisions. They know the history of how these viruses spread and work.

And codirector of the iran america project. The country that was friendly to the United States. The leadership in around feels rather strengthened by the show even though some of it was clearly orchestrated either regime. It was fueled and fanned by the shown but people have remarkable grief in favor of this general. People in syria and lebanon he may have been the institute grade or of a lot of instigator of a lot of mayhem. The regime feels strengthened.

No one is above the law and the constitution is the supreme law of the land. No one is above the law, and the president has been held accountable. It really is interesting to see the response that we are getting, bipartsan across party lines. I myself want to say i have a spring in my step because the moral courage of our caucus, to see them all so many of them, 100 members, go to the floor, thats all we had time for, to go to the floor and speak about our constitution about the facts of the case so clearly, so patriotically, so prayerfully, so solemnly, but so definitely. Just to get this off the table right away, we impeached the president , immediately everybody was on to the next thing. The next thing there be when we see the process that is set forth in the senate, then well know the number of managers that we may have to go forward and who we would choose.
