How the world turns! Four years of unjust accusations hurled at President Trump, who just survived a second impeachment, and now Democrat Governors are in unprecedented trouble.
New York’s Governor Cuomo may be impeached for lying about pushing 9,000 COVID patients into nursing homes – killing innumerable others. California’s well-coifed Governor Newsom faces a likely recall. Others reel from popular disgust over endless lockdowns, lost rights.
While talk of accountability is encouraging, bringing unruly leaders to heel is often complex, time consuming, and fraught with obstacles. Still courageous Americans are motivated to recapturing their rights, lives, and livelihoods. They know who took them, and it was not Trump.
In New York, impeachment can only be achieved by arduous effort. Still, it has been done – and the threat has produced a resignation. To get there, articles must be voted from the Assembly (lower chamber), a trial in the Senate then produce a two-thirds vote for conviction. State law mirrors federal, and the New York legislature is Democrat controlled.
That said, public anger is running high, nursing home deaths hit Democrats as hard as republicans, and Cuomo is dodging reporters and responsibility, which amplifies public disaffection. See, e.g., https://www.wivb.com/news/new-york/new-york-republicans-say-cuomo-is-unfit-call-for-impeachment/; https://www.troyrecord.com/news/national/report-cuomo-aide-admits-that-new-york-concealed-nursing-home-data-to-avoid-federal-probe/article_1d51c819-9334-5488-a2b6-f74e965273d7.html;
Moreover, what constitutes an “impeachable offense” is vague, and it has been done. In 1913, New York Governor William Sulzer was impeached. Similarly, in 2008, Governor Elliot Spitzer resigned as impeachment articles were being drawn up.
In recent days, based on revelations about Cuomo’s decision to place thousands of COVID patients in (obviously) vulnerable nursing home populations, which triggered a cascade of foreseeable deaths – and then apparently covered up the fact – impeachment is being seriously discussed.
Could it happen? With a year left in his term, maybe – but the bigger issue is growing public concern about this Democrat governor’s way of governing, which is reflective of how many other Democrat governors are governing.
The notion of elites stripping regular people of public health and safety rights, constitutional prerogatives, and their essential livelihoods, never mind public schools for their kids, protection from mobs, the right to worship, and basic respect – is getting to people.
The resentment of Democrat governors’ heavy-handedness – and elites in power generally – is not limited to New York. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich recently wrote on the topic, noting a Rasmussen poll found 72 percent of Americans say “”political elites believe they are superior to everyday Americans,” and only 11 percent disagreed.
Moreover, 78 percent of men and 68 percent of women believe elites hold themselves above the rest of us, including a surprising 77 percent of suburban voters. Newt is right, Americans are sick of being dictated to by hypocrites. See, https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/newt-gingrich-joe-biden-trumpism-asset-elites.
California’s Governor Newsom is feeling similar heat – maybe hotter. In California, recalls are laborious, time consuming, and create a fight. That said, momentum is building across party lines for Newsom’s ouster. His arrogance is grating, the effort accelerating.
Historically, California is no stranger to recalls. 178 attempts have been made since 1913, 55 to unseat governors, and the last successful in 2003 – sending Gray Davis packing, bring aboard Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger.
To date, the petition – saying Newsom “continues to destroy the lives and businesses of hardworking Californians” and asks help “to stop this tyrant before it is too late” – is on a roll. It has more than 1.4 million signatures, has built a pool of 80,000 volunteers, may well succeed. Desperate to stop it, the Biden White House is now actively opposing the effort, putting them in the odd position of favoring clampdowns disdained by most Californians. See, e.g., https://recallgavin2020.com/; https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-opposes-effort-to-recall-californias-newsom-white-house/ar-BB1dxwXy?ocid=uxbndlbing.
These Democrat governors are not alone. Across the country, Democrat governors face an upswell of discontent. The discontent is manifesting itself in pressure for impeachments, recalls, and censure. Kentucky’s Democrat Governor Beshear is now on the rails, among others. See, e.g., https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/02/04/this-governor-faces-impeachment-over-covid-19-mandates/. Democrat Chief Executives from Arizona, Michigan, Washington and elsewhere are getting enormous blowback. See, e.g., https://www.libertynation.com/governors-in-trouble-covid-19-inspires-recall-efforts/.
All this amounts to a major crosscurrent, a new development on the political scene – and perhaps a powerful roar-back against perpetual state economic lockdowns, infringement of fundamental rights, and even the hasty, untoward second impeachment of former President Trump. How the world turns! Even before 2022, Americans are flexing their political muscle. Wait until 2022.
It’s almost time to vote out these crazed democrats out of office! Joe Manchin is the only decent one in the lot of them! As long as he votes against the filibuster! If not, vote his ass out!
We can only hope and pray that many (or all) of these corrupt governors are voted out ASAP. Otherwise, nothing changes.
They all need to go, from White House down to school boards
“In trouble” is exactly where leftist Democrat governors belong! Among them is the power-drunken harpie we have as governor here in Michigan.
This nonsense has got to be squelched – NOW!
The Democrats and their Left-think cohorts are bringing our great Country down little by little.
God is ultimately in control. It’s sad to say but this nation, I believe has run it’s course. The LORD prepares to bring the tribulation and as the Abraham accords have set the stage for Ezekiel 38-39, America must become inconsequential in world events. God used Trump to set the stage and now uses Biden to bring down America as must happen. The tribulation is the only path to the Kingdom of God and mankind’s great hope in Christ. Watch the sky. I plan to view the tribulation from the mezzanine. God bless.
I’m only gonna support the local Republican party and when I get a request for money from the National Republican party I write on the donation form “No money until Mitch McConnell is no longer in power”, not sure how far that goes but if enough of us started letting the National Republican party understand that RINO’s like McConnell are not representing us or our vote. Will a change occur. I’m a card carrying republican who dispise back stabbing RINOs like McConnell and Romney ect…
Everyone is being way too polite and overly politically correct by denoting these miscreants as Democratic Governors. The correct label for these pond scums is Demsheviks, which simply is the merging of the words “Democratic” (so called since the term has been hijacked from the American people and given a meaning that is anything BUT democratic) and “Bolsheviks” (AKA the Russian Social Democratic Party that was renamed the Communist Party in late 1917).
In today’s political environment, the vast majority of the Democratic Party are all simply Demsheviks. Everything these people are trying to do is anathema to what America stands for and what our Founding Fathers intended. The saddest part of this whole equation is that these people actually believe in what they are trying to do, and unfortunately are supported by voters who embrace and submit to these politicians’ pandering to their myriad groundless fears, primal paranoia and incited hysteria.
Democrat leaders in general, alone with the RINO republicans, should be held accountable for their treasonous actions. Only real problem is finding enough rope to finish them off!
What enrages me the most is the arrogance these leftist elitist A-holes. They are giddy, and In-Your-Face, laughing at the Repubs as they clutch their pearls and wring their hands doing nothing! This is war being waged by the Demonrats against you & I. Demented “uncle Joe’s” handlers have a plan for us, and it’s more radical than you imagine. Like the old saying about slowly boiling a frog so he doesn’t notice…
Tony Evers – WI
What scares me is not just the control they have wrenched out of this last election (yes, I believe it was stolen) but that so many of my fellow citizens are happy to be led to the slaughter. I meet them every day at work and as I shop. I have written to more people in government this past election than ever before. When I get a response from my Democrat legislators they don’t thank me for contacting them, they tell me where I am wrong, if they even respond to the issue I mentioned.
Let us NOT forget Gretchen Whitmer, Kate Brown, and Ralph Northam!! Three MORE tyrannical and unconstitutional Governors that MUST GO!
It is about time we see some action on the Dem leaders and their habitual misrepresentations and their total need to control us all. Yes Trump should be in the white house and we would all be better off.
I personally know many people who received 3 – 4 mail in ballots per person ! ! ! It was reported by these people and NOTHING was DONE ! ! !
Sorry AMAC members, but American voters are VERY stupid. Trump should have STILL won by a landslide even with the CHEATING by the communists. Gas prices are going up and it’ll hit $5 a gal by years end. No longer energy ind. Silver prices have better than doubled. A total financial collapse wil happen before the next election in 2024. AND, the GOP will never take the WH again thanks to mail in voting, no voter ID, and general voter fraud. Here comes MS-13 and anti-fuh to your door. Un-armed ? Say good bye.
What about New Jersey? Murphy is still putting Covid19 patients in nursing homes. Some nursing homes get $1500.00 per patient in their nursing homes. I know it’s true. Governor Murphy should be investigated, too.
I believe that Will Rogers summed it up for us…
“You can fool some of the people all of the time… and all of the people some of the time…AND when you do, it usually lasts for four years.
He also said, ” I don’t belong to any organized political party… I’m a registered Democrat.”
Too bad that today’s registered DemonRATS are organized anarchists, socialists, and/or self-serving morons and/or tyrants.
Gee, is anyone surprised? If you don’t thoughtfully think thru what your doing, what do you expect? We ain’t China yet, I hope (still can’t speak gook that good anymore). Suggest people realize that Communision (yep, can’t spell still, wonder why I can speak gook). All they do is erase your freedoms (gee look around). Time for America to stand up to the Democratic bullies/privilaged (which Repulicians are also guilty). Politicians were never meant to be wealthy, look at the Founding Fathers. Now both sides prefer to be at odds with each other to make more money, they may recite the Pledge of Allegligence, they may take a oath, they’re not there to uphol whats right, they are only there to uphold their reasons to get richer.
Look at it this way, I’m a idiot, I admit it, if I did one tour in Congress, I get a retirement for life with all sorts of perks. Sad, I did 20 in the military, do have a retirement, cannot compare with a 2 year career in Congress. I am still poor, don’t really have nothing other than the hurt of trying to do what was right by the government. Still have 2 places I picked out when I can’t survive in this enviroment anymore. I’m cool, will have water, shelter (kind of) and have to hunt for food, but I’m getting too old. In my younger days, would have been no problem. Now? Yes, I have to beg off the US, it sucks.
It’s great that many bad democrat governors may be on the chopping block. It would be wonderful to see them go. But why all the hullabaloo over the 2022 election being the hope for the future? The 2020 election was a disaster and dishonest as hell but no one, federal judges, supreme court and congress followed the constitutional way of dealing with this properly. Every one that could help it to be honest did nothing. So why would the 2022 election be more honest? Really?!!!! If you think the elites will ever allow a free and honest election again, think again.
I’m a republican and I voted for PresidentTrump. I still consider him my President. I am frustrated and more than disappointed with the Republican members of Congress. We had it all yet they laid back afraid to fight back, afraid of the leaders and of what might happen to their job. What job? They get paid by us and they did little to support the President or keep the campaign promises. Make America Great Again…SET TERM LIMITS!
Your latest issue showed Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn standing for us. As a Tennessean, She will most definitely not get my vote when she runs for election. YOU AMAC, did a disservice when you put Her in the magazine….Shame on You !!!!!
Just Say No
To all Democrat politicians
You say wait until 2022. Why? The elections are completely rigged. Biden will solidify the corruption by creating laws that back it up. There will never be fair elections again in our beloved country. The republicans are all about law and order, and sit and suck their thumbs, and the dems are raging criminals who don’t give a whit about the law.
My greatest fear is that, if the Left continues to pursue it’s current agenda, there will be civil war across America, as well as, assassinations. An historically free people cannot be repressed. The Second Amendment will protect the First Amendment. The largest army on this planet is right here in America. 300,000,000 Americans own weapons. Our forefathers wrote the Second Amendment specifically to protect the people from the Government — remembering the totalitarian oppression they fled to come to the New World. No sir, the States tell the Government what to do. To the Left, I say, DON’T PUSH IT!
I can’t believe a governor would treat the citizens of his state like that. Where is his common sense?!
He should be sent to prison on some kind of murder chargers.
We the people need to take our government back. Legislators have forgotten that “they work for us!” We, least, ought not forget. We are headed towards unprecedented times! Freedom is not freedom anymore! Who would have thought that our National capital would be surrounded w/a fence w/barbwire a top of it & 5,000 troops protecting, whom/ what?? Democrats don’t believe in walls, only the ones that protect them & no security for the average Joe, just for themselves, at our expense, I might add!! Let’s stay informed & do personally & cooperatively what we can. God bless America!
In Dallas
Democrats don’t believe in fair elections and obey the rule of law no more. They were after President trump like hell not because he did something wrong or broke the rule of law. They were looking to covered up their scandals and that’s why they were after president trump and the people who supported him. And I don’t think so after this election in America would be a fair election.
It’s about time people start standing for what is right all the Democrats don’t care as long as they have the power.
We are facing too many problems in America, because the democrats were looking to grope power from president trump .
Keep up the heat. Pour it on and make it tall and heaping. These sorry excuses for human beings and political elites DO THINK THEY ARE BETTER than us and believe don’t have to abide by their own dictates. That belief stares us in the face when you see the stories that include pictures and videos of Democrats like Pelosi, Newsom, and Whitmer violating their own rules during the Covid-19 lock downs. There are others of course, many others. I just can’t bring them to mind at the moment. And what New York’s Governor Cuomo did and tried to cover up is mind boggling.
Who votes for these people like these? I’ll tell you who. Individuals who are polluted by CNN, MSNBC, NBC, and ABC news programs, that’s who. Let’s not forget newspapers such as the NY Times and Washington Post. If all of them closed tomorrow and disappeared along with other trash heaps and the rest of leftist mass media, this country would become a paradise. The biggest problem of all is what I haven’t mentioned yet. Our children are receiving a leftist education and indoctrination in schools across the country. That’s a story that the leftist media hasn’t touched yet. I’m 70 and fortunate I won’t likely live to see the consequences of THAT pollution either.
Look at the inner cities of Democrat controlled communities who’ve been under political control for many years. Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Los Angeles, and San Francisco come to mind. How many conservative controlled cities had mobs burning, looting, and rioting without a hint of an effort to limit it? (Does anyone want to guess who either seldom reported it or minimized what was happening? The same leftist mass media mentioned above, that’s who.) Need I say more? Am I the only one who sees how Democrats prey on the needy by making promises they can’t keep and never intend to keep? (They would lose their control if that were to happen.) Once the inner city African Americans see the light and recognize this, the Democratic Party will fall like a house of cards. If it doesn’t, this once strong democracy will become a third world country within a generation.
I think the people all across America know that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen . I also believe that far far more people voted for Trump than is currently reported. I suspect the electronic voting machines “glitched” (switched) votes for Trump to Biden . I also believe the reason the DEMOCRATS illegally changed the rules conducting elections was because then they could print up hundreds of thousands of phony ballots and sneak them into the polling places on the day(s) after election day. And i also believe that nearly EVERYONE knows this . Citizens know that they cannot trust the DEMOCRATS. Also, we must remember that on election day 2020 , Republicans won many incumbent and new seats in Congress and also in the States . Republicans are in the ascendency. Democrats know this . And that’s why they are desperate to discredit Trump and to try to take his name and stature down. Too late for the DEMOCRATs , the people are wise to their tricks .
Look up online the Cuban legal immigrants, look up the Jewish people who remember politics in Nazi Germany, look up those who were in Venezuela, they all share a common warning, WAKE UP AMERICA, tyranny is here NOW!! The answer is to get involved with your local elections, poll watchers, run for local office. Support Article 5 Convention of States. Politicians who can send the helpless to their deaths because they need Covid fatality numbers certainly can support reeducation camps, death camps what have you. They’ve in effect already proven themselves in this regard. These politicians say they care about you, their actions hate you.
I was furious that the election was stolen from Trump and the people. However, I have been thrilled to see conservatives from across the country, including governors, fighting back anyway they can to throw Democrats out of office, and to oppose Biden’s unconstitutional executive orders to hurt this country again. None of us have given up, and don’t intend to. I have been horrified at the extreme changes Biden is making to our country. All of those changes will hurt Americans and benefit other nations (china), and illegals. Let’s face it, Pelosi and the Democrat leaders drew up those executive orders and Puppet Biden just signs them.
The entire Democratic Party needs destroyed. They have become anti-American globalists refusing to accept their oath of office which requires putting our Constitution and therefore America First. They are now the enemy within and must be treated as such.
Forget the ridiculous impeachment conversation. The real conversation should be INCARCERATION for murder!!
We should impeach CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, Washington Post and the NY Times for dereliction of responsibility to report news, instead of being the voice of the Democratic Party and spinning the news. The MSM is the reason why all the Democratic governors are emboldened, knowing they will never be called out or held accountable to the public, like Cuomo they praise him for how wonderfully he handled the pandemic. Members of AMAC need to communicate to friends and family how they are being lied to by the MSM, this is a war that is hard to fight, but needs to be. ,
We the people CAN recall and REMOVE these democrat failed governors!
Their negligence caused deaths of seniors, their fiscal waste has them begging corrupt biden for taxpayer bailouts, their arrogance and ignorance of facts has destroyed state economies, their cancel culture disgusting attitudes, indifference to the Citizens best interest to anoint themselves.
A litany of lies and disdain for the people they work for.
cuomo,whitmer,newsome,pritikin, all should resign or be removed!
Notice the talking points and actions of all these failure, carbon copy negligence.
NO MORE , We deserve better!
Colorado Governor Polis has completely forgotten people of color, and the color is white! White seniors, 85, 87 years and older are really underserved in this vaccine fiasco. It is impossible to get an appointment. Frail conditions make it impossible to attend the mass sites. No one gives us a thought but they certainly are worried about undocumented Immigrants, homeless , and of course and especially black people. We have never had to be color-coded before the dems moved in.
In my opinion the folks who elected the dummies to leadership positions are at fault, so it is more of the dumb leading the dumb. Use your common sense folks. And lawyers aren’t always the best choice for leadership. Good Luck.
How the world turns, indeed. How ironic that those that fall under the banner of “democratic governors” are some of the most unconstitutional, tyrannical totalitarians in political positions. These despot wannabes need to answer for all of their crimes that ravaged, and in some cases ended, their constituents’ lives.
Rino governors will and are facing a similar fate. We see how worthless rinos and rats are as well and realize they are worthless eunuchs.
RINO—-republican in name only.
RATS—-republican against trump.
All weak,spineless and useless. (unless you need a useful idiot.
Even setting aside the deliberated deniers, there are not enough people yet sick of all of the hypocrisy. The Democrats are so arrogant that it will not be long before they show their hand to everyone including those clinging to hope.
Have we already forgotten about the fraudulent 2020 election results? What makes us think the 2022 elections if conducted in similar 2020 fashion with mail in ballots and fraudulent electronic voting systems that the results are going to change? At some point we the people have to stop and hold our elected officials accountable… wait our country doesn’t believe in accountability – sorry I had a cognitive thought. My apologies won’t happen again…
The republican party is almost as bad as the democratic communist party!
We must recall everyone leftist, anti-America democratic governor and any democratic politician who are working against the middle class , poor and economic recovery. Vote in patriotic leadership who want America to succeed and its citizens to prosper. Stop the total destruction of freedom by those who use the virus to control and destroy our nation. It is easy to use fear to control a brainwashed populace. Fear is the weapon all socialist use to takeover a free nation. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Chi, and all other dictators start with mind control by the central government and once the process as started only freedom loving people will survive.
Nevadans are into their second attempt to remove Democratic Governor Sisolak, a follower of CA Gov. Newsome. The first attempt failed when a multitude of names were ‘disallowed’ for various petty reasons. From what I heard, The instructions on what was ‘allowed’ changed from day to day. The second attempt is being very careful to follow all guidelines. For example, when you sign the petition you are warned not to allow your signature to TOUCH any of the lines in the signature box. If it does touch, your signature is void. This is one of many ‘rules’ they used to disallow signatures previously.
Recently I read an article that said the Governor is considering something called ‘Corporate Towns’. A major Corporation would be allowed to establish itself as a township with all of the benefits. They could levy taxes, establish a school system, create their own laws within their corporate area, etc. It was rather vague as to HOW this could be accomplished as far as the will of the people, but it does not sound good.
Some Democratic Governors think they are little Kings and have ultimate power with no responsibility to the people they supposedly represent. With the current upheaval in our voting system it may be very difficult to replace them, but they do need to be replaced. The recent unrestrained riots (Peaceful Protests?) in Democratic controlled states is a strong indication!
Impeaching for lying??? Prosacute for manslaughter!
What are you New Yorkers waiting for??? IMPEACH CUOMO!!!! And any other Democrat Governors taking your rights and livelihoods away while they still get their paychecks and send their kids to private schools, leaving your kids dangling in the wind, missing an entire school year!!! We need to get socialist-leaning propagandist teachers OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS and universities and once again teach American history and pride in our nation and heritage. Too many kids don’t even know where Washington DC is located in this country!! And get a grip on the hoodlums and vandals burning our cities and taking over buildings! These home-grown terrorists DO NOT run our country and hurt our citizens. They should all be in prison for trying to overthrow the government! Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Kamala Harris and others are to blame for them being on the street and encouraging them to wreak havoc in our cities!! They bail them out of jail when they get arrested so they can continue to terrorize our citizens. They should join the hoodlums in jail.
