Dumb-assery at it's most potent.

Trump at least made the majority of his wealth, whereas the Roosevelts, Kennedys and others just inherited their wealth without creating anything.

I thought ol joe Kennedy was a booze runnin gangsta?



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

The scary thing to me is that these people, and millions like them on the left, believe themselves to be righteous protectors of this nation. And they will damn anyone that doesn't see it their way.

Brookline Town Meeting calls on Congress to investigate Trump

By John Hilliard Globe Correspondent May 26, 2017

Brookline’s Town Meeting voted Thursday to call on Congress to launch an investigation into whether President Trump’s business dealings violate the Constitution.

The measure asks the members of the US House of Representatives to determine whether there are sufficient grounds to impeach Trump for violating the Constitution’s emoluments clause by failing to divest himself of his businesses, or place his money in a blind trust, while in office.

“We believe it’s important to pursue these violations of the emoluments clause as a matter of precedent, to make it clear that no president may violate the Constitution with impunity,” Alexandra Borns-Weil told Town Meeting members Thursday.

Borns-Weil, with Lisa Kolarik, were able to bring the measure to Town Meeting for a vote after gathering more than 400 signatures from fellow Brookline residents.

The constitutional provision states that no one holding federal office shall “accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state” without Congress’ permission.

The elected members of Town Meeting voted 158 - 2 in favor of the measure, with 13 abstentions. The town’s selectmen and advisory committee also supported passage.

Kolarik told the Globe the vote shows “we the people have been heard.”

“I think the resolution’s passage reaffirms that we the people want to live in a constitutional democracy that respects the rule of law,” she said in an e-mail.

The resolution passed in Brookline is based on a draft released by Impeach Trump Now, a national campaign that encourages supporters to use the measure as the basis for citizen petitions submitted to local governments.

With Thursday’s vote, Brookline joins local communities including Cambridge, Amherst, Pelham, and Leverett in calling for a Trump probe.

The national impeachment campaign said in a statement last month that three California cities and Charlotte, Vt., have also passed similar calls to investigate the president.

Michael A. Burstein, a Town Meeting member from Brookline’s precinct 12 who voted for the measure, told the Globe he believes local officials have the responsibility to act.

“The fact that this resolution was brought by over 400 regular town voters shows there is widespread approval in town for this resolution,” Burstein said in an e-mail.

The vote comes after a special counsel was appointed to oversee an investigation into whether Trump’s campaign worked with Russia, while the House and Senate intelligence committees have launched their own reviews.

half of the top stories listed on that page were anti trump, one was about "Ending the Ronald Regan Lie" on about Trumps son, and a climate change story...

Hilarious, Trump owns that paper lock stock and barrel, they can't help themselves...

Uh, the Brookline Town Meeting jerking off, doesn't mean "Massachusetts has begun impeachment proceedings."

Also, the burnings, dowsing, and crushing happened in Salem, not Brookline.

Really, inside I95 should be it's own state, and New New Hampshire will make it's money off of selling drinking water to Snobachusetts.

Brookline. Just one of a number of extremely wealthy towns chock full of sheltered leftists, that immediately surround Boston.

As Arc and others including myself many times, NOT all of us Massholes are libtards. Some of us fight the good fight as best we can.

This picture of my boy was taken last night. He wanted no part of visiting the Donkey table, but spent his own money to make a donation to the "good guys" and dunk a "CNN host" into a dunk tank ( missed with the baseball but ran up to the target yelling "you're fake news" and pushed the button anyway... got a pic with President Trump's standup too.
