    No disagreement here... although she's not "responsible for murder"... she was convicted of involuntary manslaughter...

    The SCOTUS has to have bigger fish to fry in 2020...

    I just thought the headline a bit funny (sad funny, not ha ha funny)... any "girlfriend" who would urge her "boyfriend" to commit suicide doesn't deserve the title of girlfriend (she might be ready to move up to wife however....8))

    Sure.

    Just like all the other countries who pay for our bases in their countries.

    The good news here is that she likely gave her impeachment managers (which she likely knew back in November) an extra week or 2 to prepare their case....

    Who is she going to bring?

    Schiff should be the head with Jerry the loyal deputy. I gotta like Raskin, Himes, and Demings as well. I assume she's not going to load up like the R's did in 1999. I don't imagine more than 8 people to make this relatively simple case.

    They need to get Pat Mahomes on the impeachment team... he's absolutely killing it right now....

    Argument number one - Small donor donations to Trump’s and GOP campaign have increased many-fold since the Dems begun impeaching Trump in earnest.

    I also think Justin Amash has a significant chance of making the team, simply because of the PR aspect of adding a conservative voice of support for impeachment.

    And if Trump directed troops to a country because they were willing to build a base for troops, I would make the same accusation.

    I can appreciate the willingness to actually engage with a substantive point. Do you have a source for the contributions increasing "many-fold" recently?

    Trump will just attack some more gold star families and war heroes and Trump supporters will vote for him in 2020, guess they like that stuff - renting out our troops is fine by them, why bring them home, when we can rent them out?

    Its the rent -a - mercenary program to help bring down the red. Its been done before. Roman Caesars got a lot of mileage on it.

    I personally would like to get a squadron of SEALs for snow removal in my cul-de-sac when the time eventually comes this mild winter.

    What's the going rate?? Shouldn't take more than 4 hours...

    well, I have to admit, just cause Trump said it, doesn't mean it's true, most of what Trump says is lies

    I understand.

    I have seen the headlines where they discuss pulling in "X" amount on certain days, but I would prefer to see the money over time.

    you probably have to stay at a Trump hotel and rent a overpriced room for starters

    maybe buy one of his son-in-laws building at more than it's worth

    I'm not sure that you intended this to be the answer to my question. So I will ask again.

    Why is the following quote not proof: "We have a very good relationship with Saudi Arabia. I said, listen, you’re a very rich country. You want more troops? I’m going to send them to you, but you’ve got to pay us. They’re paying us. They’ve already deposited $1 billion in the bank?"

    I guess that makes NATO funding mercenary pay as well, and the NATO Rapist forces mercenaries.

    The only reason it wouldn't necessarily be considered proof of anything is because it comes from the lips of a devout liar...

    We cannot believe anything he says, pro-Trump or anti-Trump...

    President = Liar

    Bottom line...

    The Democrats want their Iranian allies to take over the middle east.
