FATHER OF DECEASED VETERAN SAYS TRUMP RAN AWAY WHEN IT WAS HIS TURN TO SERVE, FAMILY HAS 'NO IDEA HOW TO BE HONORABLE'

No question. As a vet, I am thoroughly disgusted by the entire Trump family.

Talking

While listening to NPR this morning it became abundantly clear that the impeachment case against the President is extremely weak.

The dems cannot make a case without involving Hunter Biden.

There is the rub.

This message announces that you've arrived at a conclusion that makes you happy, "," but gives us no insight as to your actual reasoning. Absent that, we have no reason not to assume the 'makes you happy' part was decisive.

There are, of course, many grounds for impeachment that have nothing to do with either the Ukraine or the Bidens. In a tit-fot-tat spirit, I will not list them.

BTW, this may or may not be a 'high crime or misdemeanor,' but the biggest reason for impeachment is that Trump has driven away all persons of intelligence and competence from his own staff, surrounding himself with corrupt sycophants either willing to use him as their source of power, or who are so bent as to actually like him. The effect is that the White House and the executive, denuded of talent and character, now functions at Trump's level of amorality, selfishness, bigotry, and ignorance. See link in message 3474.

I just listened to the piece. Took the interview of Jamil Jaffer to be a very partisan, toeing the party line of the day in his statements. The interviewer, Noel King tried to get answers but was unsuccessful in getting him to stray from the scrip.

Like she stated, most have already made up their minds where they stand.

Bribery is impeachable. This act is no different then trump demanding one million dollars in kick backs out of the aid. That we should all agree would be impeachable truth be told.
What trump demanded is worth millions more if not billions. Foreign assistance or aid in getting reelected next year.

It’s been obvious for quite some time that he doesn’t reason at all. Anyone who promotes Fucker Carlson’s hate mongering simply isn’t capable of thought.
