2. I know! What needs to be done to shut him down??

He's already been impeached twice, the first time over his attempts to blackmail Ukraine. And we already know that he's incapable of following the rule of law, he has 34 felony convictions, stole boxes of classified documents which would have sent anyone else behind bars - and then he attempted to overthrow the government!

3. And we gave him the documents back. nt

4. And now he's asking for the Declaration of Independence.

(Or Putin is.)

8. Either he understands irony, or he wants to gloat his success destroying what the Founding Fathers wrought ...

... What he doesn't seem to get is that the Declaration was declaring war on tyranny. It's a road map to changing who's the government.

We already knew that he can't be trusted, but he goes on to prove it more and more each and every day!

9. He had a choice: injection, the chair, or firing squad. That choice is cruel and unusual and part and parcel ...

... of the punishment that is the death penalty.

11. I read about that, but didn't have the heart to post it.

He chose firing squad because of all the ongoing problems with lethal injection. I cannot imagine what it took to participate.
