The problem is that the President of the United States doesn't get to use the power of his office to advance his own personal campaign interests by way of foreign policy. Trump was guilty of an abuse of power. He leveraged taxpayer funded, and Congressionally authorized military aid to a foreign leader, against that leader's willingness to assist --not the United States-- but rather, his own reelection campaign.

Trump will get another 13 months in office. I have no problem conceding that. But as for your arrogant and overly emotional claim that "there isn't a damn thing you or any of the Dems can do about it"? That is just wrong. We are going to turn out in high numbers on election day and vote against him. The 2020 election will be very much up in the air. Trump has never expanded on his core base of support, which was only at 46.2%. He is himself, a very flawed candidate with a low ceiling of popularity. Trump is polling incredibly low with women right now (34% per Quinnipiac) ... especially women who live in our suburbs. That will not get him reelected.

I find your labels as amusing as they are incorrect. I agree he is a flawed candidate but he is far less flawed that anyone that will oppose him and that’s why he will win again.

Don't put assassination (attempts) past these extremely deranged lunatics. As proven by their last 3 years, there's no limit to their desire for absolute power and to overturn the will of the people. God save the King!!

I certainly don’t but the reason I don’t think they would do that is because then he becomes a martyr. They want to beat him so badly but deep down they know they can’t. That’s why they’re already floating the idea of him cheating the 2020 election. That’ll be all we hear after he wins again.

Mimicking you guys and Trump's name calling. Ya'll love it when Trump does it. But ot is so distasteful you don't recognize it is Trump-like if it is not Trump doing it. We don't do it as well as he does it, though, I'll agree. We're not dumb enough to be really good at it

The subpoena he fought legally in court? That one?

CNN skips Lindsey Graham’s opening statement before Senate Judiciary Committee


FOX and MSNBC covered it . It’s getting really hard to believe CNN about their non biased news coverage when the networks that are supposed to be the left and right of them are covering the breaking , bombshell , historic news events and they aren’t . Can’t wait to hear the spin on this one from our resident CNN supporters .

I'm incredulous that they didn't cover that. (apparently something happening with an airplane?) I often wonder what CNN would do without him, but I'm sure they would go back to stuff similar to the missing Malaysian airline drama that lasted for decades. I don't even think they covered huge news in our own country due to that.

CNN went down the tubes long before Trump started picking on them.

Since there is so little to chose from, many in my bunch have started watching Headline news, which covers various news and topics and doesn't do all day Trump drama.

I’m positive I’m going to get an “ ok boomer “ on this one ( even though I’m not one ) , but I gotta say I do miss the days when “ The news “ came on at 6:00 in the morning and 6:00 in the evening . I’ve always been an information freak, but this 24/7 nonstop stuff is even making me question the validity of that old sayin.. “ ignorance is bliss “. Lol

What Geraldo Rivera doesn't tell you is that the polls he is referring to are the quarterly polling by the Republican firm known as "Firehouse Strategies", with Optimus. However, that Republican poll is an outlier from the polls on Real Clear Politics which show Trump losing to every Democrat, and losing to Biden by 51%-42%.

Oh yeah?

Lev Parnas Concealed A $1 Million Payment From Russia, Prosecutors Say

Lev Parnas, an associate of Rudy Giuliani, received a $1 million payment from Russia a month before he was charged with conspiring to funnel foreign money into Republican campaigns in the United States, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

# # #

Russia pays Parnas. Parnas pays Giuliani. Giuliani does Trump's dirty work.

All roads lead back to Putin.

At what point do Trumpsters admit that Trump is beholded to Russia?

Try him and convict him. It's not that relevant to the overall investigation and its justification.
I'm sure that's what the right wing media will try to focus on.
Kind of like the mishandling of OJ's gloves. Even though the police and investigators may have made a couple of mistakes along the way, possibly one or two intentional, it didn't change the fact that OJ was guilty, but it did lead to him being found not guilty.
His lawyers knew how to play it.

Wait what ? A couple of “ mistakes “ ? This shouldn’t be a right wing , left wing thing and to try and spin what went on is extremely disingenuous. One of our Secret squirrel agencies is being politicized and used as a weapon . Anybody ok with that is F’in nuts . Regardless of Trumps outcome , we better get a handle and these agencies who apparently don’t have a lot of oversight or at least think they don’t .

Nah they were the same as the others. Career politicians.
It’s like this, let’s say you and 20 others work at a bank, you all steal from the bank and the other 20 knows each one steals too. Then a new CEO is hired to clean house. You and the 20 thieves try to get him fired because he’s gonna stop you.
That’s why Trump was elected.

I'm all for oversight and them doing the right thing. I'm all for anyone found not doing the correct thing being charged, prosecuted and punished. I don't know how much clearer I can be.
I'm able to see both the forest and the trees.
Trump is far more dangerous than a couple of rouge FBI agents. (or 20, or 200)

A better analogy is the bank hiring Clyde Barrow to oversee security.
