Without Googling.
Please, it's late and I'm going to sleep so I'll be brief. 1. Debasing the office of the president 2. Environment 3. Letting personal political interests dictate US foreign policy! (Seriously, you can't see that that would be a really bad precedent?) Trump's corrupt, he's a liar, he's self serving. I truly don't believe he has the best interest of the country at heart, he's looking out for number 1.

Opinion:
It's all based on Nation Wide Stats not per location.
$30 Grand in Erie New York will get you by but not in New York City.
You need $100,000 grand a year to live comfortably in this city and only the top per-centers are making that.

Income vs the lifestyle it buys is very different based on location and what you are looking at as far as benchmarks to judge purchasing power.. in cities like nyc we have lower income earners that do better than higher income earners because of welfare perks

US unemployment drops to lowest since 1969
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/04/econo...ort/index.html

This most recent report from the Labor Department showed some encouraging signs: July and August's jobs reports were revised higher by a combined 45,000 jobs.

Hispanic unemployment fell to 3.9%, setting a record low, while black unemployment remained at a record low of 5.5%. Minority unemployment has been tracked by the Labor Department since the early 1970s.

The nation's underemployment rate, which looks at people who are unemployed as well as those who are working part time but would prefer full-time work, fell to 6.9%. That's the lowest reading for that measure since December 2000.

And this is from CNN!

But Orange man Racist! Orange man Ukraine! Orange man Russia! Orange man touched a vagina!
Meanwhile he getting stuff done. This is why he is a shoe in for 2020 and we all know it.
He's also getting impeached.

Read the news.

Basically, asking foreign nations to investigate political rivals, tying that to foreign aid, etc. I remember the Reagan years when it would have been unthinkable for Americans to ask Soviets to interfere in the US political process.

The news is mostly biased Leftist media. Reading it would just fill your head with Leftist propaganda.

And this is not the Soviets. You are 30 years too late. Biden was up to no good and it would be negligent if the President of the United States did not do anything to find out if a potential presidential candidate is corrupt.

When I see some kind of metric like this, my first thought is always that this is simply for a show. Saying things like this is simply to make the mayor looks like he did everything while in office, but the reality is there are so many people are still struggling out there regardless of this stupid report stating a historic low in poverty.

I didn't know that an inquiry meant a president was being impeached.
