But you can't just stop there. With every right comes responsibilities, to use what is your right justly. This is why our Constitution lays our certain rights as inalienable, because they function from our inner being, from a sense of justice that is based on intelligence and empathy, the ability to see cause and effect and to put oneself in the shoes of another and to feel what they would feel as a consequence of your own actions. All of these rights are dependent on the inborn sense that an empathetic human being will sense and the laws are set up to protect such sensible people from mad men. But you modern day Conservative Republicans have turned the Constitution up side down. You have put a self serving psychopath behind the protection of those laws and shielded him there. What you have done is evil incarnate. You have given power to the devil claiming the right to different opinion. You have taken the good our forefathers provided in their deep wisdom and turned it into evil. The price is your soul and you pay it because you do not really believe you have one. You have made a terrible mistake, because the soul in inalienable and the source from which truth and justice flow. Instead of heaven you bring hell to the earth without any idea of the price you pay. You are dammed and do not know it. Repent, my friend, while there is life left to do it in.

Do not say stupid things like it is his right. The minions of hell handed him that right to worship him for it and all because we believed we are worthless and wonder the earth with a vacuous hole where our souls once lit our way. Do you remember the joy of being and the hate that replaced its loss?

Father forgive me for my sins and lift this crushing burden of guilt. I have lost my way.

The moon where the Senate voted to acquit Trump on the two articles of impeachment. I understand that facts like those are ignored by many because of reasons rooted in psychology. But I encourage you to continue to live in a version of reality that meshes well with your psyche. If it's important to you to feel that the current president has been impeached by all means continue to do so.

If you have a compulsive urge to give me a lecture about facts now, save the wear and tear on your knuckles.

your problem with facts is like all Republicans you ignore the cold hard reality of the facts!! Unless they shed a favorable light on your position......

Lets just say you're not going to bait me into some bullshit conversation that is closed and has been beaten to death.

Trump had every right to fire this dude. Your opinion on why has nothing to do with it. If it did he would have asked you before he fired him.

If right & wrong had anything to do with it Trump would have been removed from office. It's not about that. It's about power, and Trump has it.

We know you don't care that Trump's conduct in the Ukraine affair was deeply immoral & utterly wrong. When he said he could shoot somebody in the middle of Fifth Avenue & not lose any voters he was talking about you.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

You are free only to stop anywhere you like, not of the consequences.

Of course they were. If not it would mean you would see you are deeply disgusting and morally sick by the very standards you were forced to hold. It would mean you are what you were taught to despise. Such a shame you fear to be that. Well I can tell you, brother, I am what you fear to be. I have real power and feel no guilt and you have been forgiven.

But poor you, you don’t have the power to believe. No wonder you are so filled with contempt for others.

Are you guys really going to spend another week going back and forth with Taj? He's a troll, everyone knows he's a troll, don't feed the troll.

Of course Trump can fire this guy, and of course he's doing it because he made him look bad, and he made him look bad because he's a collosal piece of corrupt shit. There's nothing complicated here.

Taj and others may think the liberal media is dreaming all this stuff up because they hate Trump. That's right, though! No normal person could come to know Trump and not hate him. But a person has to be blind in failing to see that Trump is a colossal failure. Try running a business and firing as many of the top echelon as has he. It's not done. It's not successful business.

And as far as the "conspiracy of hate" against Trump goes, it's like saying the Whole World is trying to destroy our Dear Leader. The Whole Human Race or a good part of it is trying to undermine his stellar regime and its policies (if you can call them that). Or like a character in a 1950s sitcom constantly said -- "Nobody likes me! Everybody hates me!" It's a conspiracy of millions! Millions, I tell ya! They're all working together to undermine Trump!

And they're baaa-ud. They're Baa-ud. Ba-Bad, ba-bad, bad bad.

Here's IG Atkinson's statement on his removal:

https://twitter.com/x/status/1246970670661218309

Finally, a message for any government employee or contractor who believes they have learned of or observed unethical, wasteful, or illegal behavior in the federal government. The American people deserve an honest and effective government. They are counting on you to use authorized channels to bravely speak up - there is no disgrace in doing so. It is important to remember, as others have said, that the need for secrecy in the Unite State Intelligence Community is not a grant of power, but a grant of trust. Our government benefits when individuals are encouraged to report suspected fraud, waste and abuse. I have faith that my colleges in Inspectors General Offices throughout the federal government will continue to operate effective and independent whistleblower programs, and that they will continue to do everything in their power to protect the rights of the whistleblowers. Please do not allow recent events to silence your voices.

This, for the record, is how an actual patriot speaks rather than someone who uses patriotism as a rhetorical cudgel while caring only about their own petty and partisan concerns.

Sadly more rather kiss ass to someone where their agenda falls in line with.

Like I don’t believe Moscow Mitch is stupid to believe Trump is a great leader. But he’s taking it to his full advantage to pack the courts after spending the prior term blocking judicial nominations.

Congress is in recess right now and McConnell said when they return their first priority will be confirming judges, not the coronavirus outbreak.

Every person who voted for that filthy piece of criminal garbage that sits in the President's office is responsible for the firing of this decent man and the shaming of the so called greatest nation on earth. Why the swine who vote here for Republicans get to call themselves the greatest is almost beyond belief. But I know why they do. They were made to feel so worthless as children that they can't face it. They can only feel better about themselves if they bring the country down to their level, not the level they should be at, but the one that corresponds to how they feel. And all because they fear something that isn't even true. It's a riot really. Those who set out to bring others down only do it to themselves.
