It’s pretty obvious the Dem controlled House is not getting anything accomplished.Better that than a GOP controlled house that fulfills their corrosive agenda.

This is the America of Never Truthers. A career military officer needs protection from the citizens of the country he serves to protect.

The U.S. Army is monitoring Vindman’s security and is prepared to move him and his family to a local military base if necessary following his impeachment testimony.

I want to emphasize the number of bills Mitch will not even bring up to vote. Is this still a democratic republic? Not likely.Do nothing Dems.
Shouldn't we help the homeless?Trump has decried the growing homelessness population in major cities across the country and has laid the blame for the crisis at the feet of Democrats who often run and represent large metropolises. Last month, the Trump administration ousted the executive director of the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness.
In his letter, Carson said his team has attempted to set up meetings with Waters to work on affordable housing issues facing her district and those like it nationwide, but that she has "refused" the offer.
“I have sent multiple letters to your office and requested numerous meetings, but each time you’ve refused,” he said. "To me, the most compassionate, obvious, and logical solution would be to get as many homeless Americans off the streets — with a roof over their heads — as soon as humanly possible."

For you Never Truthers, what you are witnessing today is live testimony from two whistleblowers with first hand knowledge of the US President attempting to extort a vulnerable ally.

Ukraine’s president felt pressure from Trump even before July phone call
Ukrainian leader felt Trump pressure before taking office
Ukrainian president felt pressure to investigate Bidens BEFORE his phone call with Trump | Daily Mail Online
Or, you can simply read the summary and be honest with yourself.
Better yet, demand your president* release the recording of the call.

“There was no pressure or blackmail from the U.S.,” Volodymyr Zelensky said during a 14-hour series of meetings with Ukrainian and international journalists that were broadcast live from Kyiv on social media and several television channels.

Ukraine president says there was no 'blackmail' in Trump phone conversationThree of the four links, there are numerous others, I provided are dated mid November while your’s is October. Try to stay current. Be honest and admit that a new president needing our assistance will do most anything to stay out of our politics and not be the target of a vengeful US president who has already shown a willingness to shake him down.

Why would anyone believe trump, who’s own history of using corruption in his charities, university, and companies would be concerned about stamping out corruption? What Ukraine corruption has prez. Never Truther addressed with Ukraine besides his conspiracy theories involving Crowdstrike and the Bidens? He even revisited this one area of concern live just last week.
Damn people, stop gaslighting yourselves. trump never mentioned “rooting out corruption” in any call. If he had it would have been presented capitalized in rage tweets.

If the Republican Party will choose Bill Well as the 2020 candidate I will promise to vote for him. We will all have a respected man in the Oval Office and you will still have a Republican as President. It’s a win win for you.

It boils down to who you are going to believe, and it sure as hell isn't mafioso Donald Trump and a victim of his protection racket.

I'm debating whether or not to keep my Republican voter registration (for local voting convenience) so that I can vote for him in the Florida Primary.

They've already eliminated the primaries in SC I believe. There will probably be other states. I don't know about Florida. Also, it looks like Trump won't debate him. Walsh and Weld can go at it and turn it into a Trump critique. Trump won't be able to resist slamming them in his Tweets. That will just give Weld publicity and won't look good for Trump. Also realistically, Walsh would not have a chance if he were nominated. Weld, if nominated, would stand an excellent chance, but sadly his chances of winning the nomination are not good at all. Maybe the best we can hope for from Trump is more trips to the hospital.

Trump's intervention in the American military justice system to pardon service members accused or convicted of war crimes betrays the rule of law, the values that make our country exceptional & the men and women who wear the uniform honorably. He is not fit to command our troops.

LAWRENCE: Well, veterans are not a monolith, so you can get a range of opinions on this. Earlier this year, the organization Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America actually polled their membership about the pardons 'cause these had been talked about for quite a while now. And they came with a split of 50-something percent saying that they were against pardoning these alleged war criminals and 37% to 40% saying that they were in favor of the pardons.

I think Mr. Swalwall checkmated Mr. Morrison. He asked him if he was loyal to the President and Morrison said it's his job to execute all lawful orders. Then Swalwall referenced the July 25 phone call in which Trump told him that he was to tell Zalensky to investigate the Bidens. Morrison did not ask him to do the investigation. The question was why not if it was lawful? Morrison mumbled some really lame answer. I think Morrison and Volker both basically honest, believable people caught between a rock and a hard place.They are trying to get by on plausible deniability, but it just doesn't hold up. They should have been the whistleblowers.

Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, who is Vice President Mike Pence’s National Security Adviser, released a statement on Tuesday stating that he was on President Donald Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and that he heard nothing wrong or improper on the call.
Kellogg wrote, “I was on the much-reported July 25 call between President Donald Trump and President Zelensky. As an exceedingly proud member of President Trump’s Administration and as a 34-year highly experienced combat veteran who retired with the rank of Lieutenant General in the Army, I heard nothing wrong or improper on the call. I had and have no concerns.”

It's not for Morrison and Volker to decide whether there was bribery, extortion, or quid pro quo. I'm sure the house can handle that just fine.

So you think lying in order to save your ass when a gun is pointed at your head shows lack of integrity?
