If I had to guess I think we are probably just a week or so away from them rehashing the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

Now you know how I feel about the Russian investigation. The bipartisan senate report eviscerated the Trump campaign and their connections to Russia, but it seems like everyday on here I read about how it was a hoax.

Whether this rises to the level of treason, I don’t believe it does. Treason, to me, is an act of willfulness. I don’t believe anyone set out to purposefully have those individuals killed.

It is however, yet another reason as to why I will not vote for the Democrats. I have a lot of experience in the Middle East and I know firsthand that incidents like these were commonplace under the Obama administration.

You can hate Trump all you want on other policies and decisions, but he has been much better on Middle East policy than Obama/Biden was.


And totally inept handling of a virus killing many more Americans.

And I don't hate him, just don't believe him capable of leadership.

Don't ask me. Look it up yourself. Whether there were changes or not, that has nothing to do with the incompetence of the Obama administration.

Grossly negligent, but not treasonous.
