    Whatever happened to that sense of honor you learned at West Point, coward? Somewhere along the line, you tossed your honor in the trash, and do you know that that makes you, Mister Secretary of State? Trash, a liar, and a traitor to your country. You are being led by the nose by your misplaced ambition. Your personal ambition trumps your country.

    Wondering what to do when you are the congressional party of record at a time where a large chunk of the country leans more towards authoritarianism than anyone wants to admit and couldn’t care less about abuse of power by the executive.

    Yup... while their supposedly more popular party tries to throw away the 2020 Presidential election, with the Presidential candidates tripping over each other deciding on how best alienate middle class and upper middle class citizens (that tend to vote).

    trump admits he made the call, and admits he tried withholding financial aid to his request they dig up dirt on Biden.

    Yes, he's basically saying that he is definitely guilty but he doesn't see that being guilty is doing anything wrong.

    Trump will get away with it. People are desensitized to Trump’s transgressions. At this point most people expect Trump to act this way.

    There will be some outraged Democrats and moderate Republicans but at the end of the day 2020 will be a referendum on Trump and he has a better than 50/50 chance of winning re-election.

    Like Nixon, down the line everyone will act outraged but whatever. All future candidates now now what they can get away with.

    If he acts like this now I can only imagine what's down the road for us if he's reelected in 2020.

    Since he is rapidly turning us into a banana republic when does the military step in to remove him?

    If Donald Trump is not impeached for threatening aid for political blackmail, there is nothing he can do that will get him impeached.

    It’s more likely they’ll shoot us than remove him from power.

    Low information humor? The Hunter Biden story was debunked months ago.

    But you be you.

    Well he just admitted he withheld fund for what he call corruption - which is designed to confuse and normalize. Corruption in this case is his request for them to investigate/fabricate dirts on Biden.

    Which news media has called for impeachment ? It’s time already.

    This man is doing the things I've seen so many people shout conspiracies about Democrats doing for years right in front of your faces, and we have half the country either not believing any of it, or justifying it somehow. That's really scary. At some point your patriotism to this country should be bigger than rooting for your Republican team.
