Welcome to America

Colonel Vindman, the national security aide, had drafted a memo for Mr. Bolton to give Mr. Trump in a meeting on Aug. 16. It said that the National Security Council, the Defense Department and the State Department all agreed that the aid should be released to Ukraine. But Mr. Trump rejected it, Colonel Vindman testified.

Timothy Morrison, a National Security Council regional expert, told Mr. Taylor: “The president doesn’t want to provide any assistance at all.”

• Does Trump even have the authority to withhold Congressionally approved military aid? That would seem to be an impeachable offense in and of itself. Never mind the fact that he strong armed an ally for personal political gain.

  Sure why not? Republicans let him do anything he wants.

We seem to be like-minded on Trump. Tell me please, will this circus ever end? We must get off this carnival ride before Americans' brains are permanently scrambled.

"They are Americans all but on paper, many of whom enlisted after then-President George W. Bush signed an executive order fast-tracking citizenship for those willing to serve—but who, because of things like lost paperwork, fell through the cracks, never officially became citizens," she said.

"I refuse to let them believe that everyone in government has forsaken them, and I want them to know that I haven't—which is why I spent this Veterans Day at that makeshift refuge in Mexico, recognizing the sacrifices they made for the country they love," Duckworth asserted.

OK. First hearings begin any moment now. Question: If the Rs are successful in presenting a case of Trump being unwitting and/or having no ill intent, does that outcome not support an impeachment Article as Unfit for Office? We need our leaders to be aware of the impact and consequences of their decision and non decisions. This really is rhetorical but feel free to blast me if you must.

Great question. He is an idiot as are those who voted for him and still support him. He is also a documented serial liar. He lied all during his working life, he lied during the campaign, he lied yesterday, he will lie today, and he will lie every day from now till his death. Being ignorant and a liar is no excuse for breaking the law. Can’t wait to see what that other liar Gym Jordan pulls today. The rethugs threw him in there just to have a turd in a punch bowl and besides trump there is no bigger turd.

If you want to see a liar, hopefully you saw Schiff’s opening statement it was such a circus. He lies today, yesterday and everyday. Wasting our money on this circus is a joke. The left has not gotten one thing done in the past 3 years. How about let’s think about the American people.

While this is certainly quality reality TV, the Senate is not going to do a damn thing about it. Some of these Republican Senators are in a precarious situation--speak your anti-Trump opinion and fear losing reelection. Say nothing and fear losing reelection. There are a few polls out there, Harris included, that show an erosion in the base, 21% of Republicans disapprove of Trump. 39% that Trump does not "excite" them and only 42% of independents approve of the job Teump is doing.

All good news, but unfortunately the Senate will still do nothing. Lots of time, lots of taxpayers' dollars and still no money shot.

Someone please hand the Republicans a dictionary bookmarked at coup so they may learn the definition.

I'm listening to congressman Eric Swalwell's question of Bill Taylor. In so many words, Taylor implied that it was a shakedown. It was a pivotal moment. Wow!

Funny how you want to make it sound good for you. What I’m listening to is nothing? The aid was not withheld and no investigation was done. Also did you hear that Obama withheld aid and was the one who investigated the company hunter worked for. You are so right it was a pivotal moment. Just another muller miss.

Adam Schiff: "I do not know the identity of the whistleblower". How many of you believe that Adam Schiff does not know the identity of the whistleblower (aka Eric Ciamarella)?

I don’t care one way or the other.
