https://www.justsecurity.org/66363/top-expert-backgrounder-trumps-impeachment-what-comes-next/ Now this gives a good overview of the issues and legal situations that #SenRonJohnson dismisses as irrelevent.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/ted-cruz-pans-impeachment-inquiry-says-house-of-representatives-consumed-with-hatred-under-pelosi-leadership I expect that no matter how many laws that whoremonger breaks, #SenRonJohnson will not vote to impeach - they are on the same team, and you do not break up a winning combination.
The segregation that haunted Ms. Gibson are not going to go away. The white supremacists are not going to care about how good or talented anyone but whites are just because. You can lead a horse to water, but you can not make it drink. Mr. Douglas in his autobiography tells of similar experiences. It is too ingrained in our American life to be changed easily. https://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/49186075
I have heard that the National Rifle Association has tax exempt status. Why is that? I find it hard to believe that they deserve it, unless you think it is a religious organization. I do not approve of their propaganda about guns, and do not think that they deserve being tax exempt.
http://www.gmtoday.com/news/front/topstory026.asp I would like to know what the whistleblower said that the president thought was 'incorrect?'  It was a transcript, so it must have been what the president was saying in fact, or is black white?  Maybe the complaint what was said not as it was intended, but, sometimes, the president denies the obvious to his own glory.  I have not read the transcript or the whistleblower complaint, but the general consensus is that the president was breaking the law.  I have read elsewhere that the president said the whistleblower is a spy & this is a Democratic plot to do him in.  Do the employees of the government, especially Central Intelligence  Agency employees, have to take an oath supporting the Constitution and laws of the country?  If this person did take the oath, would what he did be part of upholding his oath?
As a good libertarian, I support the ability of the parents to choose to have or not have their children vaccinated, but as a good citizen, I worry that the public health may be affected. I guess I am on the side of public health, like I support following laws of the road - sometimes others, or getting along with others, trumps individual choice. Another side is I wonder if females who are not vaccinated are putting their unborn children at risk for developmental issues if they have German Measles? But mostly I am not worried about this because it is white people doing it - they will get the best health care anyway. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/wisconsin/2019/09/03/measles-wisconsin-nears-50-000-unvaccinated-children-u-s-copes-outbreak/2152352001/?fbclid=IwAR1V8Wgb0MO_A3p0SgjlVsLWOUlU4Q4oF5E-1KAx5PEru1Qly4YHYw4b5f8
A letter to my representatives in Washington.Let us see what, and how timely the form answer gets back to me. What are you doing about #climatechange? Is there any legislation or actions (like encouraging vegan diet/lifestyle, biking or mass transit) you are supporting that would help change the course of the climate change? I have received responses from Rep. Pocan & Sen Baldwin, but so far nothing from#SenRonJohnson.  I wonder why? a response from Rep. Pocan: September 6, 2019 Mr. Brockert Thank you for contacting me to express your support for addressing climate change. I value your opinions and appreciate you taking the time to write to me. Like you, I recognize climate change represents one of the greatest threats to our country and our environment. Rising carbon levels in our atmosphere carry dire consequences for the future of our planet. A recent report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change showed that we must reduce carbon emissions by 45% to a...
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7495649/Donald-Trump-says-Nobel-Peace-Prize-gave-fairly.html I am sure that anyone willing to blow another country off the map deserves a Nobel Peace prize, or maybe not.  But no matter, he could probably buy one like he did for his Purple Heart, with just as much meaning behind his acquiring it.  This, by the way, is how he creates his 'machismo' with all those super-models.  Ya know, if you can not earn it, buy it.
https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-09-26/trump-at-private-breakfast-who-gave-the-whistle-blower-the-information-because-thats-almost-a-spy Of course the president can laugh and scoff at the #impeachmenthearings - he will bluff and bluster and stonewall and whatever else to make them long term, drawn out, and boring, and nothing will happen.  #SenRonJohnson will concur with whatever the president does because they are on the same team.
https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/what-if-we-stopped-pretending  I admit I did not read this article, but I have read the letters to the editor, and they make it sound like Mr. Franzen thinks like #SenRonJohnson - Sen. Do Nothing from Wisconsin.
I am sure that #SenRonJohnson feels bad that a business will have to close because the owners are not regular Americans. But he supports the president's call to restrict people from South of the border from coming into this country - they are all rapist, murders, drug pushers, etc. https://wkow.com/news/top-stories/2019/08/21/michaels-frozen-custard-on-monroe-street-to-close-citing-denial-of-visa-for-owners-spouse/    Now I see why there is a problem, the owner is a gay and married a Mexican, and as # SenRonJohnson says, "We don't need those kind of folks here!" https://www.channel3000.com/.../one-final.../1118580085 channel3000.com One final Sunday sundae: Customers ‘bummed' to say goodbye to original… One final Sunday sundae: Customers ‘bummed' to say goodbye to original Michael's Frozen Custard
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/the-whistleblower-complaint-adds-another-dimension-coverup/2019/09/26/ece2ceda-e06f-11e9-8dc8-498eabc129a0_story.html  I have read that asking for help to win elections from foreign countries is illegal, but using the power to spend money in order to get that help is even beyond that offense.  @SenRonJohnson may not want to impeach this party leader, but come on, he is using the taxpayer's money to subvert the election to his own ends.  I guess if you can not win by playing by the rules, cheat.
I suppose that if you are not going to agree with the president, you should not be working for the government. Some one should ask # SenRonJohnson if the whole staff of that Birmingham office got fired or just the one guy.  https://www.npr.org/2019/09/10/759550641/commerce-secretary-wilbur-ross-weathers-new-scrutiny?fbclid=IwAR3NyrRGazYwHIh5V5-29kSbY6169BBWGSKsRONM1A_2eTDyQVD67PKqG6o
Who is surprised by this article? I have to admit Sen. Ernst is right that the issue needs correction, but not demolition, and they will not destroy it - there are too many folks too needful of the system, it would be heartless. I would like to have # SenRonJohnson comment on this. Does he have any suggestions? https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2019-09-06/hiltzik-republican-ernst-gutting-social-security?fbclid=IwAR35f5osnZGAtFvti8B-UFYNIPDhqDTqzaEz0mTCIYFIAN2ru3DrnLVTQ9o    they are right as well to keep it secret, it is too explosive an issue to discuss openly, but it also needs some public input, so not too secret or too decided beforehand.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/congress/schumer-urges-mcconnell-to-subpoena-trump-for-whistleblower-complaint I am not sure that there should be impeachment hearings, after all it would be a waste of time and money like Sec. of State Clinton's hearings (& she is still not in jail!) because the Senate is not fgoing to do anything about any of this.  #SenRonJohnson would not care if Pres. Trump shot some one on Times Square.  There are very few who know how serious the offense was, and, obviously, the president does not trust the Congress to act in a non-partisan way.  But that is like the pot calling the kettle black.  It is too bad that the Republicans feel they can do whatever - the country can go to heck as long as Republicans are in power, do whatever it takes to win.
A letter to my representatives in Washington.Let us see what, and how timely the form answer gets back to me. What are you doing about climate change? Is there any legislation or actions (like encouraging vegan diet/lifestyle, biking or mass transit) you are supporting that would help change the course of the climate change? The following are the two (2) responses I have gotten.  #SenRonJohnson does not respond very well, I wonder why? a response from Rep.

Well now we have all the reason we need to make the Iranians respect us. Pres. Trump will show them who is boss, & give some support to the oil barons he is beholden to. # SenRonJohnson WAR! WAR! WAR! Well at least no one special (read Americans) will be hurt. Again - now we will have a reason to use our nuclear power. https://www.cnbc.com/…/trump-asks-why-us-cant-use-nukes-msn…   https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-09-16/donald-trump-is-boxed-in-by-saudi-drone-attacks?fbclid=IwAR0o4FJMiZu1DdY_LXnuY4s1CY1sArtb3QuJnkHPOlN5aBhgZFKsdWQwphE
It appears that there is only one branch of federal government - Republican. Actions speak louder than words, & # SenRonohnson has not done anything to hinder Pres. Trump in much of anything he does, from arming the Saudi's to building the Mexican wall, and now he will not do anything about this obstructing an investigation. He may not think this is a worthy use of time and money, but it is the prerogative of Congress to have such investigations (re: Secretary of State Clinton and Libya).  https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/16/politics/lewandowski-white-house-asserts-immunity/index.html?fbclid=IwAR1iqMw51P_cnr0wk4cZQeMACNPrjFlxsmLPXjA-EdY_l29GdF7jpDnfOZ8
To make sure y'all understand what I am doing here - I am avoiding the paperwork, expense, time, and energy it takes to be entered on the official ballot. I am not qualified, educated, or anything to be a Senator, but I am questioning #SenRonJohnson about several aspects of his politics and his relation to that whore monger, Pres. Trump. I am not really trying to be a senator, I am fearful of the minions of Pres. Trump coming after me or my family. We do not have the wherewithal to withstand abuse. (whore·mon·ger /ˈhôrmäNGɡər/ noun archaic noun: whoremonger ; plural noun: whoremongers a person who has dealings with prostitutes, especially a sexually promiscuous man.) Well they must be in Trump country - bullying is ordinary social control. I am glad that  # SenRonJohnson  does not subscribe to this sort of acts.   https://time.com/5682949/montana-border-patron-spanish-video-lawsuit/?fbclid=IwAR3TkH6Ly47RKbspc0w6X-Khk_aX7F1kcy7ZhuP3kI9Om...
