And religious freedom, which is cried about by the GOP all the time. But only when Christians want to treat gays as lesser beings and are told they can’t. 1 Link to comment

Thanks for the info man. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the book if you decide to do so. That really does fit perfectly with the modern GOP, Christians, etc. mentioned here, doesn't it? Link to comment
schriznoeder Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Mods, apparently we can delete this entire topic. Bribery is no longer an impeachable offense. 1 Link to comment

So, if it isn't an impeachable offense, then we did it. But if it is impeachable, then we didn't do it. Do I have that right? 1 Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 It's important to remember here that Trump is a liar. It's easy to notice the big, easily disprovable lies. But, we cannot forget the little lies matter too. A president who lies about all manner of things big and small is not fit to be president. Trump is lying about the transcript. It's not a transcript. It's selectively edited excerpts from a transcript. They cut out the most damning stuff. He's trying to pass off little lies as truth because people are always busy pointing out the big lies. Contemplate for a moment how completely f***** the moral rectitude is of someone that would do that and how damaging it is for our country. 3 Link to comment
QMany Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 This is the most important thing through this unfortunate process. We know it was quid pro quo, they have admitted it! But don't tie yourself to that narrow verbiage. Quid pro quo is normal in foreign policy for American benefit, but it is corruption and abuse of power when used for personal political benefit. Don't let them muddy the waters. Also, obstruction of justice! Those should be the concise titles of four articles of impeachment with all of the damning evidence bullet-pointed below. 1 Link to comment
