    So what. Since we know republicans will block justice democrats should just throw their hands up and look away? That’d be cowardly. Which is what you would likely do, but not how honorable people work.

    Did I ever say anything about it being both sides? All I said that was even close to that was if it came down to “Hillary vs Trump”, but ok...

    almost everything you post is “well I see it as both sides are guilty”. Which is fine, but that’s kind of your thing.

    Are there though? Polls show Trump with ~85% approval among Republican voters.

    Is the other 15% 'a lot'? It is a few million voters in absolute terms, but as a percentage, it's not that big.

    A few million is a lot yes. Not that I’d give much credence to the polls.

    Until I made the post a few moments ago this is a loser's pity party praying for impeachment to fulfill their hate. History does not support your actions. The founders warn against your self absorption in the current action.

    It kind of cracks me up, because basically I dont make a both sides argument and you try to interject that for me, then try to say oh thats what you do, when I didnt do that. I enjoy it, if Im not super pissed off and angry at the right then the left is upset and If im not pissed off and angry at the left then the right is upset. I mean I say a lot of Anti-Trump stuff and have been pretty clear about my negative feelings about him, but I dont take it nearly as far as the people on the left want me too. Sure I make bothsides arguments here and there but I also take stances when I think one is right or one is wrong. I literally said in this very conversation that I think making pointed attacks at Trump and leaders in the GOP is fine, and said nothing about doing that to the left. I said in other threads I hope they take him down, did I say anything about Pelosi??? no, Schiff??? No, because I think they should be doing this inquiry, doesnt sound like a bothsides thing to me, but whatever.

    History says this process got rid of Nixon, who was significantly less corrupt than Trump, so I don't think I agree.

    I understand statistics and how they work and Im sure theres a vast majority of republicans who are ok with Trump, but is it 85/15? Who knows I wouldnt be at all surprised if its like a +/- 10, many of those polls are just not doing a great job of getting good data at least it seems that way.

    Well, taking your +/- 10, that means somewhere between 75 and 95% of Republicans support Trump. That's a lot. The 5 to 25% who don't? Less than a lot.

    As stereotypes go, 'Republicans support Trump' is actually a relatively well-grounded one.

    But it is wrong to say 'All Republicans support Trump', for sure.

    I dont hate Trump, thats not how I really work, but I believe he needs to be impeached and removed from office. If they find that he’s holding foreign aid over an ally’s head for dirt on a political adversary then he is not acting in the best interest of the American people he’s acting in the best interest of his political campaigns.

    I get what you’re saying let the election process do what it is intended to do, but an abuse of power for political gain is pretty serious stuff...

    Theres a littany of other things too, but Im not sure they’re impeachable offenses.

    Well a lot is subjective in this case, are a majority of Republicans Trump supporters? Yes no doubt there.

    My memory is that you tend to say “well both sides” this and that. It’s fine. We probably need more of it. It’s not a big deal.

    Probably make a specific thread about it, claiming the moderators are bias and singling them out.
