Comments on President’s handling of impeachment
Impeachment: Trump wants drama, but GOP wants it over.
The Democrats are in the process of holding Trump accountable for his apparent wrongdoings. But to listen to FOX, Trump and the Republicans, the Democrats should be held accountable for trying to prove that he did anything wrong. Remember, the Republicans had their chance to go first, so now, the Democrats are having to do their dirty work.
Trump wants to drag it out, but he really doesn’t. It’s called propaganda, in assuming the people would believe he did nothing wrong and that it was a perfect call. He knows when his witnesses are called to testify, Democrats will call for the key witnesses they called for in the House trial that he wouldn’t allow to testify, like Pompeo, Mnuchin, Bolton and Giuliani. There is no way that he would want Bolton to testify, after Bolton said Giuliani is going to blow us up.
This could be another reason the Republicans don’t want to drag it out, Republicans for the Rule of Law.
A Republican group hit Trump with scathing new billboard campaign. The President doesn’t own the government and he’s not above the law. He is merely a caretaker acting on our behalf. When Congress demands an accounting, it’s the President’s duty to comply. What is Trump hiding?
FOX hosts lambaste Trump with the most sustained assault on the press freedom in U.S. history. Chris Wallace says he has done everything he can to undercut the media, to try and de-legitimize the press, and I think his purpose is clear: to raise doubts when the media reports critically about him and his administration. Even FOX is waking up.
Public servants smeared by Trump as human scum are Time magazine’s guardians of the year.
They are the ones who testified at impeachment hearings.
A majority of Americans say Trump did not cooperate with impeachment hearings and sought to hinder the investigation.
If you want to get under Trump’s skin, tell the truth. As one person put it, his lying is as natural as breathing.
The Ukranians says Trump sent them a terrible signal. Ukranian officials thought Trump would make a statement of support before Zelensky met with Putin in France for peace talks, but there was nothing but silence.
Trump is bad for America.
It’s not my feelings.
I have the facts in front of me.
