I'm seeing congressional Republicans attacking this guy who was wounded in defense of the country. As a combat vet who lost so many buddies and still bothered by the memories 50 years later, I am disgusted with these people to my very core. They make me nauseous.
What in the hell is going in America when an entire political party can insult and denigrate a wounded American veteran? Republicans, not all of course but most who put their party above their country, are truly despicable people unworthy of our freedoms.

Reps to you.

Being a war-wounded vet doesn't mean you can do no wrong, but it should certainly earn you the benefit of the doubt, especially when it comes to the question of having America's best interest at heart!

If Vindman's and Hill's testimony contradicting Sondland concerning his pressuring Zelenskyy to investigate Biden is memorialized in a complaint to the lead attorney for the NSC, then yes he perjured himself.

If anyone agreed with that assertion, they're simply out to lunch and can be dismissed out of hand.

That was sarcasm.

That's hypocrisy!
So, "only as bad as Hillary" is the bar you're going to choose? Really? Really?

So, is the guy seriously saying that if the Ukraine investigated Burisma for corruption and they find it involved Biden’s son the Democrats would punish the Ukraine or withdraw support from the Ukraine? Because, that’s what it sounds like to me. Why is this not considered troubling?
The guy is seriously saying that a US President should not be asking a foreign leader to initiate an investigation into the US President's political rivals. It is self-serving, and it compromises the office of the President of the United States as well as any diplomatic efforts the United States might want to put forth.

It is indeed troubling that President Trump did this, and that his supporters don't understand why it is wrong.

We’ve all read the call colonel, you may of been concerned, others were not concerned. It’s a matter of opinion at this point, we can debate whether Trump should or shouldn’t of made the call but calling for impeachment and saying this is a high crime is laughable. Thankfully impeachment has 0% chance and we have an election next year to let the people decide.
