Do keep up.
We don't have to keep it up. Trump's administration is the gift that keeps on giving. As long as they are copping to it, the Dems just have to sit back with their hands folded. Nice try though.

Gaslighting is their super power. Of course, after lying, which is their super duper power!

I am sure that you are fine with that but I would think that the majority of voters are not.
Except that -- as you know -- Biden did the same thing, and somehow that's just fine. Sorry, rules apply to everyone. If it's okay for him, it's okay for Trump. That's why he called it standard practice.

There's a political adage - "Never interrupt your opponent while he's busy committing suicide."

You need to tell somebody about that so they can open an investigation.

So dishonest it's to be expected. Do you have no shame?

As I've said all along, there's no evidence of a quid pro quo, but it doesn't matter because quid pro quo is utterly routine, as you well know.

Good idea, and you're in luck. It's being looked into.

No, none of us know ANYTHING about what he said today. We didn't get to listen.

In Trump's corrupt administration, perhaps...but no it is not utterly routine.

Here we go again: Trump's rule of doing-bad-things-in-public means it is ok, in Trumpland.

Of course as many on this forum have said all along: For impeachment no quid pro quo is required. This kind of corruption that sullies the interest of the United States based on the President's own political campaign is a classic high crime and misdemeanor and exactly the kind of abuse of office that the framers had in mind when they gave the House the power to impeach and the Senate the power to remove.

This president is going to be impeached!
The only question: are there going to be 20 Republican Senators who are concerned enough about national security to do the right thing for this country?
