    All of this is Russia's making. CrowdStrike, the Biden's, Burisma, all of it is 100% Russia propaganda. It makes no sense for Ukraine to investigate themselves in order to take the blame for the hacking of the 2016 election, absolutely nonsensical. Trump was frustrated with Ukraine because it was the Ukrainian government that outed Paul Manafort and Rick Gates as being very corrupt. This was the beginning of the downward spiral of Trump's campaign concerning corruption charges. It was Paul Manafort who was taking millions of dollars from a pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarchs of their president. This was Trump's payback to Ukraine.

    And all this impeachment nonsense is all about that. Donny started changing foreign policies which were benefiting all those loud democrats for decades. Republicans too. They were all filling up their pockets with foreign 'donations' whilst completely ignoring ordinary Americans. Clintons are the best example. Pay to play. I wonder how much money all those democrats who loudly complain about alleged bribery, corrupt practices etc... had in their bank accounts before they entered politics. Clintons have become multi-millioners. Washington DC creatures have been living like parasites for decades. They all enriched themselves by abusing/using their positions.

    Well, all of this is Russia's EXPLOITING, not making...

    Hunter Biden did create an apparent conflict of interest by taking that job while his dad was VP... They got general approval from the administration, but still a bad look and most people would have told him to pass.

    Joe Biden did create bad optics by bragging about his limited role in getting the corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor eventually removed, while following administration goals...

    I can see how this looks bad on the surface, until you look at the underlying facts... those that push that either of these guys committed crimes (in either country) are basing that on hope, not facts... Including a sitting president who is extremely open to suggestion...

    Hard to get excited over the Impeachment Follies. Aside from its 'Bread and Circus' entertainment value, the only thing it accomplishes is to keep this Congress from actual legislation and other damage to the citizens.

    General apathy noted... But I agree with you that most of this wasn't warranted, since little has changed since the release of the call rough notes, the release of the Volker texts, and the confirmation the aid was withheld unilaterally by Trump.

    Articles were reasonably clear back on October 3rd...

    Right now the hearings are starting to sound like a turf war.

    Then's that's 320,000,000 whose opinion on impeachment is not generally informed... I'm sure that won't stop most of them from submitting one anyway...

    For those who aren't dismissing it out of hand or think Nunes et.al. are kicking butt, the narrative is filling in quite effectively.

    If nothing else, so far it has been totally proven that Dear Leader is a corrupt lowlife. Is that impeachable? I sure has hell hope so.

    OMG a staff member is going to play that chase the tail game that's interesting! I gave you all the explanation that was really required of me!

    Ever hear that saying "Lead by example"? MAYBE those names might provide you with some relevance to dwell on?

    Heck, I knew that when he had his little chinwag with Billy Bush... the lowlife part anyway...

    Corrupt was confirmed when he was named as Individual 1 last December...

    Hill just said Obama didn't want to provoke the Russians so they didn't want to give the Ukraine legal weapons. Just imagine the Dems response if Trump said that?

    Well, agreed! But what do/have the Democrats had/have in the oven other then their childish threat to impeach a guy not even sworn in yet :) They are useless for anything other than obstruction and the dismantling of any independence and opportunity American minorities might use to free themselves from the chains of Government oppression ¯\_(º¸º)_/¯
