Impeachment proceedings against Trump

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

I knew what you meant chrisd3711! 
I discovered this quote today, and I'm saving it in my Favorites folder:
“Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool.
To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen.
To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talent
In reality, this isn't just about Trump. This is about many who are compromised, be it by damning information they would love to remain secret or by corporate or personal bribes.
My hope is that once all is said and done, the law enforcement investigations into the depth and breadth of the corruption in our system (by ANYONE, R, D or Independent alike) are complete and those guilty in a court of law are held accountable for their actions, that we The People buckle down and begin the work to clean it up and begin to repair its dysfunctions. Gerrymandering, voter suppression, election fraud - all need to be addressed by nonpartisan or bipartisan commissions.
We need to begin to unite once again in opposition to our true enemies, those foreign and domestic, who would keep us divided for greed and power. We should be united as Americans first and political affiliation lesser-so, work together through discussion, civility, and compromise, and face the looming problems our world faces in over-population, global warming, and scarcity of natural resources. We have much to do and it can only be done well together.
