Just so we're clear

I haven't written much about the Trump impeachment charade, because it is a charade, but we did learn something about the depravity of the Democrats yesterday -- while they noisily decry Trump for imagined abuses of power, they abuse the hell out their power:
The most stunning aspect of the report, to me anyway, was the inclusion of telephone records of House Intelligence Committee ranking member Devin Nunes, Nunes’ aide David Harvey, President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and investigative reporter John Solomon. Schiff refused to say how he was able to obtain these records.

The mainstream media is abuzz with stories about Nunes communication with “Rudy Giuliani during key aspects of his Ukraine pressure campaign.” Nunes was in touch with John Solomon around the times he published major articles. And on and on. The telephone records don’t include the actual conversations. They identify who was calling whom and how long they spoke.

Schiff has crossed the line of decency with this move. Once again, he has abused his power. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton tweeted that obtaining these records is a remarkable abuse of President Trump’s constitutional rights. I would argue that it’s an abuse of the constitutional rights of all of the above. These are KGB tactics.
The author of this piece, Elizabeth Vaughn, is probably understating the meaning of this. What we've learned is the Democrats will stop at nothing to wield power. Any notions of fairness or decency are gone. We are in "whatever means necessary" territory. Our friend Gino has been warning us about this mindset for years, based on his experiences with the California donks. It's not coincidental that two California donks, Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi, are at the helm.

Trump will survive the attempt, but that's not enough. The Democrats must be stopped. They should never, ever have any power again.

Adam Schiff reflects the loss of political decorum and a lack of appreciation for the role of government. Unfortunately, his actions are not particularly unique in today's world and reflect the thirst for fame and power that has replaced the ideal of servent-leader. Granted the ideal is rarely achieved, but it seems to have been completely abandoned by those who suffer from TDS.

Those who see this as a slippery slope are usually shouted down by those who see government as the bottomless piggy bank it seems to have become for so many.

(just my opinion)

There are those who see the slippery slope and sound a warning; others strap on their skis.

This will stop when the costs out weigh the benefits. Right now, it costs them nothing, and this will likely continue for some time.
A republic, if you an keep it. Wasn't that their warning to us not too long ago?
