LOL. Its not their actions that make it impeachable. Its Trumps. Look up what "high crimes and misdemeanors" ACTUALLY means.

Here is a clue-it doesn't require a actual crime. It can be things that only someone in a position of power can do, such as for example self enrichment in EXACTLY this fashion.

Are you OK with the government spending $138k at trump properties while he is in office, or not? Don't deflect, answer.

Exploding heads caused by CNN is a different topic. (I don't watch CNN. I recently got access to it again, still don't watch it.)

"Staffers at the Department of Defense charged more than $138,000 on department-issued cards at President Trump’s properties during the first eight months of the Trump administration, CNN reported Wednesday.

The employees placed the charges at Trump-branded properties on department-issued Visa cards."

Come on... what do you think of this spending?

This spending. Not any other. Because this spending is the topic.

The President and VP are the only ones allowed to run businesses while in office, according to the Constitution.

Are you OK with the government spending $138k at trump properties ??

why not...are we supposed to ban businesses that are connected to someone in government


should no-one buy a car from Rep. Don Beyer, Democrat from Virginia who owns 9 car dealerships??
should no-one buy insurance from Rep. Mark Takai, Democrat from Hawaii ??
should no-one buy farm produce from Rep. Dan Newhouse, Republican from Washington??
should no-one eat at Rep. Mark DeSaulnier, Democrat from California restaurants?
should no-one bank at Delta Trust and Bank, a community bank in Arkansas, owned by Rep. French Hill, Republican from Arkansas??

Vern Buchanan – Florida owns 2 car dealerships...should no-one buy a car from him??

Senator Claire McCaskill her husband who is listed as the owner of eight businesses. The pair also own an aviation company that hold a private jet McCaskill and her husband use for some travel.

Roger Williams ,Texas Williams owns several car dealerships including his flagship Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership in Fort Worth. In addition to his dealerships, held by his company JRW Corporation, he owns car washes in the area. should no-one be allowed to shop at him??

should no-one buy wine from Nancy Pelosi?? Especially when the House minority leader and her husband open up their bucolic Northern California estate and vineyard on the banks of the Napa River to the likes of Google’s Eric Schmidt, wealthy environmental activist Tom Steyer and Gov. Jerry Brown who puts his travel on his travel card.

Wait..your post doesn't make sense. No one is saying that a DoD employee cannot/should not go to a Trump hotel and have dinner or stay there using their PERSONAL finances.

These are DoD employees that, for whatever reason, are forced to spend DoD funds there because this administration is forcing them to do something there in the line of their duties. The president is profiting off his presidency by having government employees carrying out their duties at his business.

It's like the President owning a car dealership and forcing the government to buy the government vehicles from him.

He should be ensuring that NONE of his business intersect with those sort of government functions. Period.

That's a really admirable & ethical response & par for the course as per your usual output here.

I truly pity you for your constant "it's ok if a republican does it" frame of thinking that lacks ANY fiber of morality.

Additionally, in view of what all you've written on these boards in the last few years, I must ask if you happen to live in russia & if you are posting from st. petersburg?
