The US government is currently rather busy attempting to stave off what looks more and more like a coup.
That the tech industry has been a primary player in enabling this.
Each and every one of us needs to have a nice long think about our own ethics and what we're willing to support.
- whatisthiseven 7y agoHow is a legal process a coup? For readers which aren't sure of the definition of coup, "a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government." I don't see how an impeachment inquiry (even if legally a bit vague) as "violent", "sudden", or "illegal", nor is it a seizure of power, since it is just an inquiry. If you want to argue that ordering witnesses for investigations without first declaring a formal vote on an impeachment inquiry is illegal, you won't find the Constitution or CRS reports state that a vote must be held for such orders to be valid.

Funny statement coming from someone who thinks the impeachment of Trump is a "coup". Do you support pussy grabbing, kids in cages, abandoning our allies, allowing foreign governments to assassinate resident journalists, a constant stream of lies and gas lighting from the President, doing nothing about foreign interference in our elections, the purchase of political ads spouting outright lies, conflicts of interest in President's businesses, rolling back civil and environmental protections, etc... You should have a nice long think about your own ethics and what you're willing to support, hypocrite.
