He clearly obstructed Congress. He lied about why Congressionally approved allocation of funds weren't dispersed. He literally tried to prevent their Constitutional responsibility of oversight.

I never understood political apathy but now I do. We look down on those who are not politically engaged as fools. Maybe we are the fools. Maybe we are the fools who think we can make a difference or our votes matter in our current corporate owned system.
Not that i'm going to be politically apathetic or anything and I know voting matters at some level, but i'm much more understanding of those who say fukk the system. It's way more of them that those who actually vote.
I would understand this if voting cost money. Or if voting took place somewhere you had to travel. Or if there was some tremendous obstacle in participating in our democracy other than waiting until your 18 years old.
I would completely understand if the apathetic voters actually put in some type of work of their own or offered something other than endless whining, bytching, and practically playing for the other team on Twitter in an attempt to make their absolute laziness and aimless contrarianism look like some enlightened act of courage.
The fact this fake woke, don't vote bullshyt is targeted mostly towards black voters, mostly (sadly) by other black people looking for attention and clout, makes it even more disturbing and a bunch of nonsense.
Hardcore deep south conservatives and alt-right types are on some "fukk the system" shyt too. Between Obama, Black Lives Matter, MeToo and so many other widespread social causes people felt that liberalism and diversity was taking over their lives and threatening their place in society. So they voted VIGOROUSLY, CONSISTENTLY, and COMPETITIVELY to make the difference they want--to elect an (woefully unqualified) unapologetic racist who will punish and destroy liberalism, diversity, and Obama's legacy without a second thought--and here we are. They made it happen, and they didn't make it happen being wannabe woke, apathetic, and shouting "fukk the system" to anyone that would give them the attention. They voted. Collectively, competitively and even quietly--strategically.
Meanwhile liberals and black voters wanna curl up in fetal positions, watch Yvette Carnell/Tariq Nasheed contrarian agent bullshyt, and whine on social media for woke points while handing over their voting power to the very people screwing them. What difference does this make? Where is their solution other than allowing Republicans to take over the country and all our lives?
Ask yourself, why is this "don't vote" wokeness only directed towards black voters and Democrat voters? How come I NEVER see these enlightened non-voters preaching the productive virtues of sitting out elections to working class right wing Republicans and middle Americans? Are they not just as much victims of a corporate system as us? If they were really about making a huge change shouldn't these apathetic idiots be working to get BOTH sides and ALL Americans to see the flaws of our current system and elected officials? No. Of course not. It's only black people and Democrats that are expected to get woke and not vote, and we're dumb enough to actually believe and spread this nonsense without thinking critically about it. fukk that.
They are every bit lazy, self-centered, delusional fools.
Yes, I hold my reservations about how our elections work, but voting costs you nothing. It's free. It takes place only a few days out of an entire year. It happens locally. It requires nothing of you but a few minutes of your time. After that you can go back to whatever activism you feel will change the system, or you can do nothing at all except lay down your vote and go about your business. Because voting is the BARE MINIMUM any of us can do to help our communities, our neighbors, our society, and especially in the case of black folks, to protect our rights.

No he didn't, f*ck is you talking about?
I agree with all of the above but he did so within the law
- He misused the classification system to hide embarassing transcripts and read-outs - that's ILLEGAL
- He blocked lawful congressional subpoenas - that's ILLEGAL
- He threatened witnesses in public - that's ILLEGAL
That's just the tip of the ice berg.

Because everyone knows this whole impeachment trial is wrong. They know what Trump did is 100% wrong and justifiably impeachable. They know acquitting him of any wrongdoing is wrong. And they know the masses of people paying attention don't approve of this. The only concern of Trump's defense team and the Republican Party at this point is to line up as much loaded talking points as possible for his base to rally around all the way into November. Most of which, as I said, come down Republicans basically adapting Trump's criminality and admitting they have no respect for the Constitution or a democracy, only winning.
The only problem that they just refuse to get about Trump is that he is self-centered compulsive liar and criminal. This isn't the last time an atomic bombshell of headlines showing the need to have had witnesses and documents in this trial will come out.
The only thing that will stop average, tuned out Americans from seeing how much of a corrupt cover-up this whole trial was and vote out Trump in 2020 is if they are distracted by relentless realDonaldTrump and Fox News talking points.
It doesn't have to be legally competent, just simple enough for people to digest and stay on the President's side.

What laws did he break, breh, with regard to the Obstruction charge
Ain't no Statutes in the Articles, breh.
3 co-equal branches means they don't gotta just do whatever they're asked. They can refuse and go through the courts ...
