    No one has brought impeachment charges, so it's a little early to demand to know what they are. When and if impeachment charges are filed, we'll find out what they are.

    Commies can be patriots, so both could be true.

    Yes, that is one thing that Trump said. He also said a bunch of things that contradict that. Seems like you are indeed demonstrating how cherry picking works.

    Who are you going to believe, Lyin' Donald, or Lyin' Trump?

    You also didn't complain about "this bullshit of losing elections and disrupting the government of the winner".

    Sometimes I get the feeling that your life is just one giant flashback.

    Speaking of flashbacks you going to the Oregon Country Fair?

    Hopefully Trump will finally tell us the truth about Area 51 before he is kicked out of office.

    I want honesty and truthfulness.

    Virtually all claims should be faced with skepticism by the press.

    Clinton used a private email server. Not Clinton broke the law. Day 1, that is. When the truth comes out, report it. It's not gotcha and journalism.

    Again, we don't know the context of what was being said. People in the room called it a negotiation tactic. You don't know what he meant by "pressure," either.

    The Holt response, directly from the man, on camera, with context.

    I just proved to you the NYT is being deceitful by cherry picking the one sentence out of context. Anyone who saw the Holt interview knows what he said. If you rely on NYT or CNN, etc., you know what they want you to believe.

    No he hasn't, but you wouldn't believe the truth if it bit you.

    The similarity to Watergate is laughable.

    The similarity to McCarthyism is only lost on the uneducated.

    "I have proof right here in my briefcase that the government is infested by Russian agents." Only instead of the press saying, "have you no shame?" they're being McCarthy.

    I guess I was using the broader "Merriam Webster" definition "the action of betraying someone or something." in this particular case; if those allegations are true, Trump or his team would have betrayed the integrity of the electoral process, which is sort of the bedrock of our republican system of government.

    I'll grant, that under the provisions of Article Three, the bar is much higher and the definition is much narrower for the act of "treason." I'm no lawyer, but I'm guessing the charges might be closer to: Conspiracy to Commit Election Fraud and/or Espionage. Either way, if this actually happened (which remains to be seen) then that's pretty goddamned alarming. If it was Hillary's campaign in the cross-hairs, people on the right would be howling for her to be strung up, and they'd be right to be mad as hell.

    But... but... it's not right for you to say any of that because you don't have any proof.

    The House can pretty much charge the president with whatever it deems to be high crimes and misdemeanors. Proving it in a senate trial is required to actually remove the president.

    If there is this mythical smoking gun that ties the president to the Russian hacking, I think he's toast. Directing the WikiLeaks document releases? Not so much. But I think he stands zero chance of reelection, or even getting the Republican nomination.

    True.
    I do not recall any disrupting to complain about.
    When was Obama investigated without reason?
    Who suggested impeachment without a crime?

I don't.....if Obama conducted himself like Trump has...you'd freak out...admit it
