    I guess this one also fit well under the "Putin's Useful Idiot At Work" thread...

    This might be the foreign leader that Trump made an illegal promise to, no?

    How can this not be impeachable? Trump is putting self ahead of country.

    Because Trump is God-Emperor and God-Emperor's cannot be impeached.

    He's either a p***y who can't fight for freedom or a broken mark for the Russians.

    Pick your poison.

    No it’s because Republicans still in office are scared to death of being in a primary by a populist goon in the model of Trump because they go against Trump. As long as Trump has almost full support of the self identifying GOP members, he can do whatever high crimes and misdemeanors he wants because even if the house impeached him the GOP led Senate would never reach the 67 votes to remove him from office.

    There is only one way to win: vote him out and not let these elections be decided by a tens of thousands of votes in Midwest and Florida.

    But I am also a pessimist and I think most Americans outside the metropolitans don’t actually care if Trump is breaking laws and acting unethical and would never vote for the liberal candidates because it’s a team sport and their team is winning. It doesn’t matter if the plurality does not support it, just that enough electoral votes do.

    Hold onto it and let it out 2 days before the 2020 election, Comey-style.

    It would actually be better for Trump to get this stuff out now. Voters have a memory that only recalls things that happened in the last month.

    This is a man who just today had his televangelist lawyer actually argue in court that not only can a president not be indicted, and on top of that not even be investigated... but they had the audacity to say that even those around the president and his company cannot be investigated.

    We are in strange times folks. Trump cannot be kicked out of office simply by winning an election because this mad man truly believes he is president for life, and is now a self appointed king. If you think he’s leaving if beaten you are crazy.

    Of course Trump is trading the services of the US government for personal help either enriching himself or to help get re-elected. What have people missed the past 2 years that would make anyone believe that he is not a treasonous criminal who is desperate and will burn down the White House to maintain power?

    This will not end well for anyone and shame on the coward Internet trolls here who support him simply because they love giving sh$t to liberals for entertainment because their real lives suck.

    If Fox gave Trump an hour show in the middle of the day, Trump would leave.

    Moscow Mitch, serving as the canary in GOP's political coal mine?
    In a surprise development, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced his support on Thursday for additional money to bolster the country's election system ahead of the 2020 vote, a move that counters his earlier position resisting calls for more funding.

    could this be a tell that GOP leadership will not be cleaning up the political / criminal mess emanating from the whistle blower's complaint against the current occupant in the WH

    Moscow Mitch was getting to him. He caved on funding for his state to fund the trumpy wall. Political pressure I think.

    I know he'd never do it, but i'd back off the ukraine in return for them letting maduro head down the river styx.

    I've never really been a fan of pushing nato all the way into russia's backyard, and the original agreement to not step into the warsaw pact has already been broken enough, and i also think its about time to look to pay off russia to separate them from china. Russia has no potential whatsoever to threaten US power ever again, need to stop acting like they do.
