I actually agree with bad luck. Elections have consequences. The GOP is getting everything they deserve but he missed the bigger picture, not surprising given his lack of intellect. The people need to know the truth. The political games have become super partisan and annoying. Party over country. Ridiculous.
The people need to know the truth. The best way for Congress to get the truth is through closed hearings. That way witnesses can’t coordinate their testimony and members are less likely to grandstand.
Eventually, the hearings will becomes public and you’ll get the full rundown of all of Trump’s crimes.
BTW, do you think it’s ok for the President to hold up aid (aid that has been appropriated by Congress and signed into law by the President) in order to extract a personal benefit from the country receiving aid?
No, I do not. Depending on what the "aid" is and what the "personal benefit" is. But big picture, I 100% absolutely agree with you. It is suspicious when it comes to Hunter Biden and the monies he received from Ukraine and China but I am also sure it has happened 1000s of times to other kids of politicians. Par for the course.
No need for quotes around aid. Congress appropriated defense aid to Ukraine. Trump signed it into law.
Then Trump held up the aid. That alone is illegal but when paired with the reason for delaying the aid—to pressure Ukraine to do something to benefit Trump’s re-election campaign—we get a very real problem.
This is a very straightforward criminal act that *should* result in resignation or impeachment and removal. But we live in bizarro world now and that likely won’t happen.
Silver lining, this impeachment process isn’t helping Trump like all the retarded pundits predicted.
