Regardless of what Fox News and our Republican senators might think, the majority of Americans are not stupid. "Bolton" and "I left the GOP" trending on twitter-- Even with Kobe's death. Republican party needs to call the witnesses, and then make an argument that it's not impeachable. At least give the impression that this is not a cover up.
It was not that long ago where Republicans convinced Nixon to resign. It was a bipartisan vote whether or not to impeach Clinton in the Senate. (We have to remember this was different time and thought process about people in authority and those who serve them---so, it would be more about lying about having sex with another woman, which Newt Gingrich and heaven knows how many others had done themselves)Can we be honest? It doesn't matter if Bolton testifies. It doesn't matter if Trump took the stand and admitted to doing what we all know he absolutely did and more. There's ZERO chance a GOP senate is going to convict a republican president. There'd be ZERO chance a democratic congress would have impeached a democratic president, not in today's tribalistic climate.
Our founders envisioned a utopia where love of country outshone a love party, they were wrong.
This whole thing is a black eye on the U.S. and will go down as a skidmark in the boxer briefs of our history.
I love the analogy but I would change it just a tad.This whole thing is a black eye on the U.S. and will go down as a skidmark in the boxer briefs of our history.
Especially coming from a book to make money.
The coup being conducted by your party and the illegal FISA stuff will haunt this country forever. These are the 2 biggest scandals in our country's historyI love the analogy but I would change it just a tad.
The election of Trump and Trumpism in general will go down as inexplicably crapping in the boxer briefs of our history.
The impeachment is like a little of the crap leaking out and running down the pants leg of our history.
Which is why he should be put under oath. Ducking this immutable need has been a herculian effort and it's not going unnoticed.
Why not put these guys on the stand and then just ignore the testimony, not doing so just makes him look guilty. Optics are everything.
