Just how low can Trump go with his crude remarks and lewd behavior. He has taken himself and his followers into the gutter. He is only the President of those who bow down to him.
Saudi Arabia bought a entire floor in Trump Tower for $256 million, so I guess they didn’t commit a crime when they killed Jamal Khashoggi in their consulate and then admitted it. Trump believed their story when he took their check.
WATCH OUT, Americans! Trump and the Republicans are taking our country into a dictatorship.
People want to know: Does anyone know who is paying James Snyder’s lawyers’ fees?
I have to admit that it looks like Trump’s impeachment trial is shaping up to be very unfair. There is every indication that he will be tried as an adult. That’s just shameful.
The regard for Donald Trump among nations abroad is pretty dismal: corruption, political chaos, divisive rhetoric, braggadocio, lies, porn stars, dictators praised, allies insulted. Christians in other countries, our stateside political agendas not theirs, do not comprehend why so many U.S evangelicals hitched their wagon to a man of such poor repute. The Christian world mission has been damaged, the gospel usurped, by political expediency.
Trump’s constant whining show his frustration that “his people” are not able to make this impeachment issue go away. He has had many serious problems for his entire life, and his attorneys, threats and money have always made them go away. He is beside himself that it is no longer working.
Moral people often argue, on a given cause, that “the means don’t justify the ends.” In their dogged defense of Donald Trump many evangelicals (not all) seem to have thrown that axiom to the winds. Unfortunately, when the means to get there are flawed, the cause itself, in the longer run, is undermined or damaged.
Right along with Trump, Republicans in Minnesota are learning from Putin how best to run an election. The Minnesota GOP has simply eliminated every candidate except for Trump from the March primary ballot. The chair of the Republican party in Minnesota declared that her job isn’t to run a fair election but to make sure Trump wins. Since he’s the only candidate on the ballot, you certainly have to like his chances.
I consider myself an Independent and did not vote for Trump in 2016. In fact, for the first time in 50 years, I did not vote for any of the presidentially candidates in the last election. I’ve been following the impeachment hearings. And, after three months, to no one’s surprise, Trump was found guilty by the House of Representatives. Now, Speaker Pelosi has decided to hold the recommendations from the Senate. Obviously, Impeachment 1.0 was a flop and the Dems are deciding to start Impeachment 2.0 hearings. What’s next, we start the new year with an endless series of Impeachment hearings? This country cannot stand these endless political impeachment trials. I’ve lived through the Nixon and Clinton Impeachments and I’m sure the founding constitutional writers are rolling in their graves over how the impeachment clause has been hijacked.
Putin groomed Donald Trump for years. He loaned him money and had him in quite the predicament where he could control him. He preferred Trump as the president because he could call in his favors for whatever he wanted. It had nothing to do with intelligence or stability, it was the complete opposite.
Trump and his incessant whining about “We weren’t entitled to have witnesses, we weren’t entitled to have lawyers.” He just flatly refused to turn over documents, and witnesses, because if he had a defense, you can be damn sure he would have offered it a long time ago.
Trump is saying “So, when it’s fair, and it’ll be fair in the Senate, I’d love to have Mike Pompeo, I’d love to have Mick, I’d love to have Rick Perry, and many other people testify, but I don’t want them to testify, when this is a total fix.” And he really wanted to talk to Robert Mueller, and he really will release his taxes, and pay all of those contractors, and immigrants that he cheated.
