I think Americans have become so used to corruption they don't know what it is anymore.

People think Pelosi is a hero for starting impeachment investigations. They think Trump is a traitor.


What is corruption?

Is it asking another country to investigate corruption, is it getting a job at a firm because of your relationship to the government.

Aren't Obama, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Carter, Kennedy, Nixon, LBJ, and Truman also insanely corrupt leaders who have no soul?

Are they not evil by these standards?

Or is corruption just what hurts our political elite?

I feel Americans are brainwashed into protecting our own business and elite interests so much so that anything that is counter to their interests means the perpetrator is a traitor?

Americans are feverishly patriotic to the point where working with Russians is criminal. The legal consorts of DC are gods.

Americans are not patriotic as concerned to their fellow citizens, but only when it comes to the elite, they listen to the media like obedient disciples.

Pelosi didn't start impeachment investigations, that requires a full House vote.

Yup. All Pelosi has done so far is to make a call for an investigation. For an investigation to begin will require passage of a House resolution, and no resolution has been written yet. Once it is, it will have to reach the House floor for a vote, and a resolution could be blocked before it ever reaches the floor.

That's still a mighty long ways away from impeachment proceedings, and even further away from an impeachment conviction.

I seriously doubt any investigation will proceed rapidly once a committee is formed. Haste is what killed the Clinton impeachment, so Nancy Pelosi, who was in Congress then, won't repeat that mistake.

The POTUS abused his power in an attempt to hurt democrats politically.

He brazenly asked yet another country to interfere in our elections after he was investigated for 2 years on the Russia interference.

The House ultimately will vote to impeach him imo.

So no one who's running for office is allowed to be investigated?

Even if the suspected activity takes place in another country, no assistance from that country can be asked?


You might want to let Obama and Hillary know about that.
