Again, I hope he gets impeached. He deserves it. But, what they chose to go after? Weird. He's done worse. Link to comment

Wrong. The only safeguard against corruption is to uphold our constitution. Right-wing talking points about the size of government don't play. What plays, in an unbiased way, is simply following the rule of law. Period. 1 Link to comment

That's not true at all, people are corrupt at smaller levels of government too. 1 Link to comment

There are dozens of congresspeople under investigation right now, I'm pretty sure every President in recent history has endured investigations as well. When people do something wrong we hold them accountable, we don't say 'well what about all the other people that do bad things' i mean that argument is ridiculous I didn't say that. Link to comment

Just because they are dishonest and corrupt doesn't mean they have all violated our Constitution. And again, what does that matter what other people have done? Do you recall at any point in history a President that so flagerently disregarded our Constitution? 1 Link to comment

"Look, you better clean up your toys and brush your teeth...remember that Santa is watching" The thing with that analogy is every other Presidents room is relatively clean when I walk in. Trump has his entire toy chest strung out all over the floor and I have his aunts and uncles telling me 'no no no, the room is clean you see, that is how it is supposed to look.' Link to comment

We are still a long ways away from a Senate trial. Mgahn is testifying next week. 2 Link to comment
