A step towards presidential dictatorship

[wsws.org]

(Neither Pelosi nor Schumer, nor any other leading congressional Democrat, has suggested that Trump’s action is an impeachable offense, or that the president should be removed from office for a flagrant violation of his sworn oath to uphold and defend the US Constitution. Instead, they have advocated lawsuits, leading ultimately to a decision by the US Supreme Court, with its five-member ultra-right majority, including two justices nominated by Trump himself.)

In other words, as I have stated a number of times. The democrats are in compliance to the same agenda as the republicans. This will in deed be the loudest non statement of proof to that the second it is found needed to be sent to the SCOTUS for a ruling.

(What is happening in the United States is part of an international process. Under the impact of the global economic crisis of capitalism, and the increasingly violent and reckless clashes between the major powers—spearheaded by the United States—democratic forms of rule are breaking down. This is accelerated, above all, by the growing social tensions within every capitalist country, as economic and social inequality reaches unheard-of proportions.)

I asked just the other day if we were closing in on a tipping point of no return in another post. I think Friday took us, if not to the edge, quite a leap towards it. This is quickly moving from Johnstone's 1-2 punch to possible violent protest world wide.

Maduro is a dictator!?! Fucking please!
