No desire to seek the truth about Trump. This is sicking. They are not about searching for the truth. They do not have any sense of repentance, remorse, redemption. Welcome to the party TG. Been missing you in real time today. Your old party has really shown itself today (except the MI Gop rep Amash, he's a pretty good guy that seemed to be interested in the truth) Link to comment

So add another year and several more convictions/pleas for Mueller. Still WAY less time on this investigation than other high-profile cases. Long way to go. Wait....according to my Republican/Trump friends, Clintons were never investigated. #fakenews 1 3 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Rep Gosar from Ariz is a # 1 a-h... This is just sickening. Listen to the tone of voices between Cohen and the GOP and the Dems and the GOP. Which ones are passing the 'truth' test based on their statements - it is easy to tell just by tone, emphasis. It is clear. 1 Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I don’t always agree with Elijah Cummings politically. But , damn i respect the man. I wish there were more like him. When you have Cohens lawyers in tears, you know you said something meaningful. 2 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Wow, my opinion of Elijah Cummings just went up with that ending statement. It is not 'what happened to you Mr Cohen but what happened FOR you'. He gets it - our sins, mistakes and problems don't define us but can prompt us to become a better person. 2 Link to comment
TGHusker Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I don't see how any open minded GOP voter can't be embarrassed by what they saw from the GOP side of this hearing. 5 Link to comment

He was really amazing, I thought his opening statement was great, but I was in tears for the close. It worries the hell out of me that the good ones are dying off. 1 Link to comment

TGHusker Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Another take away from this on a personal level - I need to take what I hear for its own worth and value and not run it through the filters of party or political philosophy (liberal or conservative). I was glad to hear AOC speak also - very sincere in what she had to say. Loyalty must be the the country as a whole, our constitution and the truth. Remove the filters that divide and let true patriotism, the Constitution and the truth lead us to the correct conclusion on issues and policies. 2 1 Link to comment

I'm so happy to see your evolution TG - seriously, it gives me hope that others who are loyal party members will take a breath and evaluate what they see and hear and learn and be open learning. We can all be better about it, you've been an amazing example for all of us. 1 Link to comment

I wish more people would listen to the words coming out of the mouths of the people they vote for/against. Cable news opinion shows have reduced that a lot. People are lazy now and just read a summary and unfortunately trust some awful messengers. 1 Link to comment

She stays so she can vote in the primary and tell Jeff Fortenberry how disgusted she is while saying she’s a Republican without lying. Link to comment
