I'm glad to see articulate, bright, professional officials calmly bring the voice of reason to the impeachment hearings...Some really impressive people have come forward....Trump's camp looks like schoolyard bully's who pay someone to do their homework for them under threat
I realize that most politicians want to be re-elected which is the very reason I'm for term limits...but "job security" aside, I still cannot fathom why the GOP continues to blindly defend Trump no matter what. Nunes never has struck me as being very bright.
they don't want to lose the Senate majority so they take the risk although now several are starting to crack and dump Trump to save their own asses. Trump is in essence draining the GOP
I still don't see the need for a 2 party system...it is simply too dysfunctional. Instead, why not take the side of common sense and what's best for the planet/country instead of silly liberal/conservative allegiance? And you're right...the GOP is no more...instead, it has become the party of Trump.
So the best interest of the country is taking children away from parents and locking kids up in a cage? How is that OUR best interest? How is doing nothing regarding gun reform after mass shootings happening on an almost weekly basis is our best interest? How is giving large corporate tax cuts and huge tax cuts to the rich in OUR best interest? The list can go on and on but yet all you want to do is call it a xham as if you are acting like a trump parrot.
I voted libertarian last election to buck the trend.....this time I vote against Trump no matter the opposition...sad but reality...until we have the other political parties that are not backed by big money debating on national tv....we are stuck with the Lakers and Celtics rivalry forever.....America actually has several other parties that nobody will ever pay attention to unless they do a search on their own...we're not getting fair coverage and never have....the reasoning is money.....take money out of the race...shorten the campaign to 6 weeks total...forget the year and a half campaign trail...candidates are burned out before they're elected as it
I too now consider myself more of a libertarian than either Rep or Dem...and fwiw, I like the "Lakers and Celtics" analogy.
Not presuming to answer for ABM, but in my own case you attack me for mostly posting sworn testimony and facts in evidence. Either way, it's hard to take this 3-year tantrum seriously as it's a conservative's wet dream to watch the Dem party completely and probably permanently destroy themselves in a public setting. This will still be hilarious when it's taught in political history classes 50 years from now.
You guys crack me up, suddenly you're Libertarians while you're defending the Libertarian Party's #1 enemy. I've never seen either of you post anything remotely supportive of Libertarian ideology. Pretty hard to swallow.
This will be a most interesting thread to review later. The democrat house will impeach. Hell they have said so by the time they handed Nancy the gavel. The hearings are simply to feed the flock. The Senate will not convict. Shoot, it will not even be close. <- An interesting review point. Why did the house even send it here? Then the next interesting review point will be in early next November. After Trump's reelection, yes, but the most interesting will be how badly the Democrat House lost their majority due to this, anti-American folly. They do not have a Presidential candidate with coattails to help care a majority in the house, especially in the face of a failed impeachment. How many rabid S2 impeachment advocates will admits to simply talking out their arse?
David Holmes's Q and A didn't go well at all, quickly became obvious he fabricated his testimony on "overhearing" both ends of a Sondland to Trump phone call.
i think the best part of all of this for me is imagining how LIVID maris and marazul would be if this was Clinton or Obama who did all this, with all of these honorable witnesses, veterans, transcripts, etc. They would lose their shit. It would literally be the exact opposite, they are so blinded by their love of Trump. So pathetic.
