Democrats DO NOTHING but waste taxpayer time and money because they do nothing for their constituents.
Yet the Dems keep on doing their thing. Meanwhile, Trump and those in his administration keep shooting their mouths off, hanging themselves with their admissions.

If you'd care to research you'd see how many bills the Dems have passed that are sitting cold on McConnell's desk. However, they have managed to get many of them passed. A simple Google search will do.

But, Orange Man Bad. Right?
Yet there has been no evidence found that either Biden has done anything illegal.

What's proof of wrongdoing is Trump admitting out of his own mouth that he asked Ukraine for dirt on the Bidens. And then you have Mulvaney's little performance yesterday that pounded that nail further into the coffin. Does the statement, yeah, we did it, get over it, ring a bell? Jesus. They are the gift that keeps on giving.

I agree Trump isn't going anywhere. BUT I'm not convinced all of this behind the scenes with his personal lawyer etc.....isn't going to hurt him with the voters that got him elected....not that strong base.....but those swing voters that are finding out how dirty he is.

And part of the problem is the inability of The White House to control the message coming out of the Executive Branch.

Mulvaney's statements this week clearly indicate that there is not a well laid out approach to combating these charges. It's a mess.

You can't be happy with the way this is being handled. The President and his staff and his communications department are doing a terrible job of 'clearing' the way.
They know full well why there is no vote. And they know full well it's a legitimate inquiry. They're just spouting off three and four word sentence talking points. That's all they have.

We do not want to be foolish enough to give money to Ukraine until we see some changes, and until we have confidence that they are working to investigate and expose the corruption that took place in the past. This was not "hey, dig up dirt on Biden or else we won't give you any money."
No. That is not what he said. He said politics runs foreign policy. Get over it. And therein lies the problem. If they're so worried about corruption, why aren't they talking about the Saudis or Turkey or any number of a hundred different countries? It's because they were looking for specific dirt on specific people and were willing to abuse their power by withholding funds to that country until they played along. Nice try though.

Yup. The most telling moment was when a reporter asked Trump for examples of communications with any foreign leaders where he asked to have corruption rooted out other than asking Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden and Trump couldn't answer.

That was Biden when he said he was leaving in about 6 hours.

Every single bit of this stuff originates from the top demolib leadership. It's amazing how the demolibs continue to eat up all the anti-Trump rhetoric that their party's leadership throws down to them 24/7 365 days a year for the past several years now.

Three weeks ago these demolibs were absolutely on fire talking about impeachment of President Trump. And now look...the truth came out.....as always.

Actually the house voted against starting impeachment at least 3 times already. So Nancy is ignoring the will of the House of Representatives with her current unlawful secret witch hunt.

Yeah, unlawful secret witch hunt, lol. You wish. You and everybody else on this forum knows full well they have Constitutional authority to do this. It just doesn't fit with your narrative.
