@jcraw6332 , What Democrats fail to realize is this is designed to take out Biden, and make a path for Elizabeth Warren. Biden did what the media is accusing Trump of. Biden is on tape admitting withholding funds until the prosecutor looking into his son was fired. There is far more evidence for a Biden investigation than a Trump Impeachment.
Biden's currently leading in the polls by a large margin among Democrat candidate. However the radical left base running the Democrat party don't want another racist, old, white man as their nominee. As the party of identity politics, they need a victim candidate, like a woman victim, or a black woman victim, or a trans or gay woman victim as their candidate. When the message of your campaign is nothing but grievances, you need a victim to be the voice of said grievance. Warren will be the nominee. She's the only woman candidate with any political following, polling at 13%. Warren will be your candidate, Democrats will fail to convict Trump on hearsay (inadmissable in a court of law), Democrats will lose the House, and Trump will annihilate Warren. Impeachment is political suicide for Democrats.
Let's be perfectly clear, Biden was NEVER gonna be the nominee. He's a gaff machine. The Democrat party was NEVER gonna run a candidate that says things like, "poor kids are just as smart as white kids". Apparently Biden thinks only people of color can be poor, and only white people are smart. Seriously, maybe it's senility, but this guy doesn't even know where he is half the time. As if he was gonna be the democrat presidential candidate.😂😂😂

@garrettlivingston8577 , if the shoe were on the other foot, I can't imagine a single democrat would be ok with a scenario in which a drug addict son of the president was dishonorably discharged from the military for cocaine, and his very next job is sitting on the board of a foreign energy company with American influence, making $50-$80 thousand a month.
Was Barisma holding interviews to find a coke head to sit on their board of directors? Somehow, Hunter Biden hardly seems like the right candidate for the job. And if they did need drug addicts on their board, who knew nothing about Ukraine or energy, why the Vice President's son? They couldn't possibly be paying him for the influence of the vice president's office (overwhelming sarcasm).I'm sure there are plenty of stupid, poor drug addicts who could have used this job making $50-$80 thousand a month. Do you know how much coke you could buy with that? What happened to equal opportunity?
So you'd be ok with Trump's kid, having no knowledge or experience, sitting on the board of directors of a foreign energy company with American influence, making $50-$80 grand a month? No, you wouldn't. You're nothing more than a hypocrite.
Look at Elizabeth Warren's answer to this question, and Kamala Harris' answer to this question. Both disagree with you. They said they wouldn't be ok if this was their kid in Hunter Biden's shoes.

@salvatorebullock9367 , he was Not a war hero. He was a war criminal.
Bombing a light-bulb factory, a civilian target, is a war crime. McCain, obviously, didn’t select the target, he was just following orders, but that doesn’t exonerate him any more than any other soldier who follows an illegal order. According to Amnesty International this particular violation of the Geneva Convention (bombing civilian targets) is actually official U.S. military doctrine:
“Military advantage may involve a variety of considerations, including the security of the attacking force. … Economic targets of the enemy that indirectly but effectively support and sustain the enemy’s war-fighting capability may also be attacked.”
“War is a clash of opposing wills. … While physical factors are crucial in war, the national will and the leadership’s will are also critical components of war. The will to prosecute or the will to resist can be decisive elements. … Strategic attack objectives often include producing effects to demoralize the enemy’s leadership, military forces, and population, thus affecting the adversary’s capability to continue the conflict.”
Both of these statements, taken from different U.S. military manuals and documents, represent direct violations of the Geneva Convention (and, it should be noted, well before the advent of George W. Bush).
But McCain didn’t just carry out such illegal orders himself, he willingly voiced support for them, specifically during the 1999 war against Yugoslavia when “water systems, power and heating plants, hospitals, universities, schools, apartment complexes, senior citizens’ homes, bridges, factories, trains, buses, radio and TV stations, the telephone system, oil refineries, embassies, marketplaces and more were deliberately destroyed by U.S./NATO planes in a ruthless 10-week bombing campaign.”
For reference, here is Article 54 of the Geneva convention:
“It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove, or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as foodstuffs, crops, livestock, drinking water installations and supplies, and irrigation works, for the specific purpose of denying them for their sustenance value to the civilian population or to the adverse Party, whatever the motive, whether in order to starve out civilians, to cause them to move away, or for any other motive.”
McCain, and the entire U.S. political and military establishment, also supported the wholesale bombing of Iraq’s water purification plants during the first Gulf War. And this was no ordinary war crime, it was a planned genocide. Documents released in 2000 revealed that the U.S. had studied in detail all aspects of Iraq’s water system, had planned a strategy for preventing Iraq from reconstructing that system (via sanctions), and knew in advance that “this could lead to increased incidences, if not epidemics of disease.” Indeed it did, with more than half a million Iraqi children dead as a result, one of the greatest war crimes in history, carried out by the next generation of U.S. pilots who followed John McCain, and with John McCain’s full-throated support.
John McCain—war criminal then, war criminal now, war criminal forever. To be clear, he is far from the only one currently, or previously, serving in the U.S. government or U.S. military. But, at the moment, he is the only one for whom the entire ruling class, with the lone exception of Donald Trump, is rushing to assure the American public that he was a war hero, before the truth gets more closely examined.

@garrettlivingston8577 here it is again, dear blind hypocrite. Let's read together, shall we?
new report for The Hill by award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon presents details from “hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents,” many from inside the American team helping the company at the center of the Biden-Ukraine controversy, that “conflict” with Joe Biden’s claim that he pressured Ukraine to remove its top prosecutor because he was failing to weed out corruption, rather than the prosecutor’s investigation into the company paying Hunter Biden some $600,000 a year.
While Biden maintains that he only strong-armed Ukraine to replace its chief prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, because of allegations of his corruption and mishandling of his job — not because of Shokin’s investigation into Burisma Holdings, which hired Biden’s son just weeks after President Obama appointed Biden to oversee U.S.-Ukraine relations — Solomon found that previously undisclosed documents “conflict with Biden’s narrative.”
“Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents — many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles — conflict with Biden’s narrative,” Solomon reported Thursday. “And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma’s legal troubles and stop prosecutors’ plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.”
Solomon reports:
For instance, Burisma’s American legal representatives met with Ukrainian officials just days after Biden forced the firing of the country’s chief prosecutor and offered ‘an apology for dissemination of false information by U.S. representatives and public figures’ about the Ukrainian prosecutors, according to the Ukrainian government’s official memo of the meeting. The effort to secure that meeting began the same day the prosecutor’s firing was announced.
In addition, Burisma’s American team offered to introduce Ukrainian prosecutors to Obama administration officials to make amends, according to that memo and the American legal team’s internal emails.
“If the Ukraine prosecutor’s firing involved only his alleged corruption and ineptitude, why did Burisma’s American legal team refer to those allegations as ‘false information?'” Solomon asks. “If the firing had nothing to do with the Burisma case, as Biden has adamantly claimed, why would Burisma’s American lawyers contact the replacement prosecutor within hours of the termination and urgently seek a meeting in Ukraine to discuss the case?”
According to Solomon, Ukrainian prosecutors say they have tried to get this information to the Department of Justice since the summer of 2018 because they believe it “might be evidence of possible violations of U.S. ethics laws,” but the DOJ “showed no interest.” In response, the prosecutors contacted Trump’s personal lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
In their famous July 25 call, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Trump that he is “knowledgeable” about the Burisma-Biden situation and that investigating the case is important in “making sure to restore the honesty” between the countries, Solomon notes.
Solomon also highlights a “newly sworn affidavit prepared for a European court,” in which Shokin testified that he was informed when he was fired in March 2016 that it was because of his investigation into Burisma.
“The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors,” said Shokin. “On several occasions President Poroshenko asked me to have a look at the case against Burisma and consider the possibility of winding down the investigative actions in respect of this company but I refused to close this investigation.”
Solomon stresses that Shokin “certainly would have reason to hold a grudge over his firing,” but the newly revealed documents seem to align with his account.
Solomon goes on to summarize the history of the Burisma-Biden controversy, starting with The New York Times‘ initial report on the suspicious decision by the company to hire Hunter Biden weeks after his father was tasked with overseeing relations with Ukraine.
“Documents I obtained this year detail an effort to change the narrative after the Times story about Hunter Biden, with the help of the Obama State Department,” Solomon writes. (Read Solomon’s full report here.)

@garrettlivingston8577 , so you only listen to liberal sources, you only care about corruption, but ignore Biden's, and you don't bother to read the transcript of the phone call in question, but you think you know everything. All of this makes you a liar and a hypocrite.
If you cared about truth, you would investigate all sources on the subject, not just from your biased preferred liberal echo chamber.
Don't lecture me on balance, dear hypocrite. You don't have a leg to stand on. Again, if it weren't for lies and hypocrisy, you'd have nothing to say.

@kurtislawler , I don't care who you prosecute first, but let's not be hypocrites, dear. If you think Trump is guilty, then so is Biden, so is Hillary and Bill, both Bush's, and Obama. Let's get them all. If you hate what you think Trump did, all these people have done the same. In fact I doubt you could name a single politician high or low, left or right, who hasn't. Can you name one?

@kurtislawler , you can't impeach the Republicn president with a republican Senate majority, without an IMPEACHABLE crime, using hearsay evidence. Hearsay is inadmissible in a court of law. Are you high? This is political suicide for Democrats. That's the argument I'm making. Democrats are handing Trump re-election on a silver platter.
If this continues, Democrats will lose the house, Warren will be the nominee, and Trump will annihilate her. How will you keep Trump in line during his second term, if Democrats lose the house? Guess Democrats want Trump to own all three beaches of government.
If you believe you can name the crime and the evidence to convict, I'd love to hear it. So far, all you have is hyperbolic conjecture. You ALL are living in a fantasy world, creaming in your pants over the inexistent possibility that you will eliminate the man you hate so much.

@douglasjcox , isn't it amazing that the people calling to impeach have no clue as to what happened in Ukraine with Biden and his son? Not only do they not know, but thy have no desire to know. Yet they insist they are OBJECTIVE.
If the shoe were on the other foot, I can't imagine a single democrat would be ok with a scenario in which a drug addict son of the president was dishonorably discharged from the military for cocaine, and his very next job is sitting on the board of a foreign energy company with American influence, making $50-$80 thousand a month.
Was Barisma holding interviews to find a coke head to sit on their board of directors? Somehow, Hunter Biden hardly seems like the right candidate for the job. And if they did need drug addicts on their board, who knew nothing about Ukraine or energy, why the Vice President's son? I'm sure there are plenty of stupid, poor drug addicts who could have used this job making $50-$80 thousand a month.
So, you'd be ok if Trump did what Biden did? No, you wouldn't. This is called hypocrisy, dear. Stop calling others gullible. You're the one who believes the alphabet news.
This is the same news that told you Hillary would be president. 100% chance she would beat Trump. How'd that work out for Democrats? Cause I remember a lot of crying and bitching in safe spaces, and rioting in the streets.
This is the same media who told you Trump colluded with Russia. 3 years of investigating, and the Mueller report said no COLLUSION. Not a single American was charged with collusion or obstruction.
This is the same media that said Kavanaugh was a gang rapist. Not only was there no evidence for this claim, but the accuser retracted her allegations, admitting she was never gang raped, and knew nothing about it.
This is the same media who told you Jussie Smollet was the latest victim of a Trump inspired hate crime. Just one problem, Jussie hired two black men to attack him and stage the event.
This is the same media that told you, "Trump's an idiot. He's NEVER gonna be president." Now that is obvious he was legitimately elected, the media is telling you he's colluding with Ukraine, China, and Australia, getting away with election interference right in front of your eyes, on live TV. How is it possible that this "stupid man" is getting away with collusion? How is one so dumb effectively making fools of our intelligence agencies? They must be more inept than the idiot in office, if they can't stop Trump from "election interference"?
So which is it? Is Trump an idiot? Or an evil genius, who's bested all our intelligence agencies? You can't have it both ways, dear. This is called hypocrisy.
Looks like you're the only one who's gullible enough to believe the drive-by media. Maybe you should look in the mirror before you call others gullible.

@jcraw6332 Here's the report, AGAIN:
Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents - many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles - conflict with Biden's narrative.
And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma's legal troubles and stop prosecutors' plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
For instance, Burisma's American legal representatives met with Ukrainian officials just days after Biden forced the firing of the country's chief prosecutor and offered "an apology for dissemination of false information by U.S. representatives and public figures" about the Ukrainian prosecutors, according to the Ukrainian government's official memo of the meeting. The effort to secure that meeting began the same day the prosecutor's firing was announced.
In addition, Burisma's American team offered to introduce Ukrainian prosecutors to Obama administration officials to make amends, according to that memo and the American legal team's internal emails.
The memos raise troubling questions:
1.) If the Ukraine prosecutor's firing involved only his alleged corruption and ineptitude, why did Burisma's American legal team refer to those allegations as "false information?"
2.) If the firing had nothing to do with the Burisma case, as Biden has adamantly claimed, why would Burisma's American lawyers contact the replacement prosecutor within hours of the termination and urgently seek a meeting in Ukraine to discuss the case?
Ukrainian prosecutors say they have tried to get this information to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) since the summer of 2018, fearing it might be evidence of possible violations of U.S. ethics laws. First, they hired a former federal prosecutor to bring the information to the U.S. attorney in New York, who, they say, showed no interest. Then, the Ukrainians reached out to President Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Ukraine's new president, Volodymyr Zelensky, told Trump in July that he plans to launch his own wide-ranging investigation into what happened with the Bidens and Burisma.
"I'm knowledgeable about the situation," Zelensky told Trump, asking the American president to forward any evidence he might know about. "The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case."
Biden has faced scrutiny since December 2015, when the New York Times published a story noting that Burisma hired Hunter Biden just weeks after the vice president was asked by President Obama to oversee U.S.-Ukraine relations. That story also alerted Biden's office that Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin had an active investigation of Burisma and its founder.
Documents I obtained this year detail an effort to change the narrative after the Times story about Hunter Biden, with the help of the Obama State Department.
Hunter Biden's American business partner in Burisma, Devon Archer, texted a colleague two days after the Times story about a strategy to counter the "new wave of scrutiny" and stated that he and Hunter Biden had just met at the State Department. The text suggested there was about to be a new "USAID project the embassy is announcing with us" and that it was "perfect for us to move forward now with momentum."
I have sued the State Department for any records related to that meeting. The reason is simple: There is both a public interest and an ethics question to knowing if Hunter Biden and his team sought State's assistance while his father was vice president.
The controversy ignited anew earlier this year when I disclosed that Joe Biden admitted during a 2018 videotaped speech that, as vice president in March 2016, he threatened to cancel $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, to pressure Ukraine's then-President Petro Poroshenko to fire Shokin.
At the time, Shokin's office was investigating Burisma. Shokin told me he was making plans to question Hunter Biden about $3 million in fees that Biden and his partner, Archer, collected from Burisma through their American firm. Documents seized by the FBI in an unrelated case confirm the payments, which in many months totaled more than $166,000.
Some media outlets have reported that, at the time Joe Biden forced the firing in March 2016, there were no open investigations. Those reports are wrong. A British-based investigation of Burisma's owner was closed down in early 2015 on a technicality when a deadline for documents was not met. But the Ukraine Prosecutor General's office still had two open inquiries in March 2016, according to the official case file provided me. One of those cases involved taxes; the other, allegations of corruption. Burisma announced the cases against it were not closed and settled until January 2017.
After I first reported it in a column, the New York Times and ABC News published similar stories confirming my reporting.
Joe Biden has since responded that he forced Shokin's firing over concerns about corruption and ineptitude, which he claims were widely shared by Western allies, and that it had nothing to do with the Burisma investigation.
Some of the new documents I obtained call that claim into question.
In a newly sworn affidavit prepared for a European court, Shokin testified that when he was fired in March 2016, he was told the reason was that Biden was unhappy about the Burisma investigation. "The truth is that I was forced out because I was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into Burisma Holdings, a natural gas firm active in Ukraine and Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, was a member of the Board of Directors," Shokin testified.
"On several occasions President Poroshenko asked me to have a look at the case against Burisma and consider the possibility of winding down the investigative actions in respect of this company but I refused to close this investigation," Shokin added.
Shokin certainly would have reason to hold a grudge over his firing. But his account is supported by documents from Burisma's legal team in America, which appeared to be moving into Ukraine with intensity as Biden's effort to fire Shokin picked up steam.
Burisma's own accounting records show that it paid tens of thousands of dollars while Hunter Biden served on the board of an American lobbying and public relations firm, Blue Star Strategies, run by Sally Painter and Karen Tramontano, who both served in President Bill Clinton's administration.
Just days before Biden forced Shokin's firing, Painter met with the No. 2 official at the Ukrainian embassy in Washington and asked to meet officials in Kiev around the same time that Joe Biden visited there. Ukrainian embassy employee Oksana Shulyar emailed Painter afterward: "With regards to the meetings in Kiev, I suggest that you wait until the next week when there is an expected vote of the government's reshuffle."
Ukraine's Washington embassy confirmed the conversations between Shulyar and Painter but said the reference to a shakeup in Ukrainian government was not specifically referring to Shokin's firing or anything to do with Burisma.

@jcraw6332 , if the shoe were on the other foot, I can't imagine a single democrat would be ok with a scenario in which a drug addict son of the president was dishonorably discharged from the military for cocaine, and his very next job is sitting on the board of a foreign energy company with American influence, making $50-$80 thousand a month.
Was Barisma holding interviews to find a coke head to sit on their board of directors? Somehow, Hunter Biden hardly seems like the right candidate for the job. And if they did need drug addicts on their board, who knew nothing about Ukraine or energy, why the Vice President's son? They couldn't possibly be paying him for the influence of the vice president's office (overhearing sarcasm).I'm sure there are plenty of stupid, poor drug addicts who could have used this job making $50-$80 thousand a month. Do you know how much coke you could buy with that? What happened to equal opportunity?
So you'd be ok with Trump's kid, having no knowledge or experience, sitting on the board of directors of a foreign energy company with American influence, making $50-$80 grand a month? No, you wouldn't. You're nothing more than a hypocrite.
Look at Elizabeth Warren's answer to this question, and Kamala Harris' answer to this question. Both disagree with you. They said they wouldn't be ok if this was their kid in Hunter Biden's shoes.

@NestaAstern , your argument is called hypocrisy. What Democrats fail to realize is this is designed to take out Biden, and make a path for Elizabeth Warren.

There is far more evidence for a Biden investigation than a Trump Impeachment.
Biden's currently leading in the polls by a large margin among Democrat candidate. However the radical left base running the Democrat party don't want another racist, old, white man as their nominee. As the party of identity politics, they need a victim candidate, like a woman victim, or a black woman victim, or a trans or gay woman victim as their candidate. When the message of your campaign is nothing but grievances, you need a victim to be the voice of said grievance. Warren will be the nominee. She's the only woman candidate with any political following, polling at 13%. Warren will be your candidate, and Trump will annihilate her.
Let's be perfectly clear, Biden was NEVER gonna be the nominee. He's a gaff machine. The Democrat party was NEVER gonna run a candidate that says things like, "poor kids are just as smart as white kids". Apparently Biden thinks only people of color can be poor, and only white kids are smart. Seriously, maybe it's senility, but this guy doesn't even know where he is half the time. As if he was gonna be the presidential candidate.😂😂😂

By the way, an "indirect threat" is not a threat, dear hypocrite.

@douglasjcox , Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents - many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles - conflict with Biden's narrative.
And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma's legal troubles and stop prosecutors' plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
For instance, Burisma's American legal representatives met with Ukrainian officials just days after Biden forced the firing of the country's chief prosecutor and offered "an apology for dissemination of false information by U.S. representatives and public figures" about the Ukrainian prosecutors, according to the Ukrainian government's official memo of the meeting. The effort to secure that meeting began the same day the prosecutor's firing was announced.
In addition, Burisma's American team offered to introduce Ukrainian prosecutors to Obama administration officials to make amends, according to that memo and the American legal team's internal emails.
The memos raise troubling questions:
1.) If the Ukraine prosecutor's firing involved only his alleged corruption and ineptitude, why did Burisma's American legal team refer to those allegations as "false information?"
2.) If the firing had nothing to do with the Burisma case, as Biden has adamantly claimed, why would Burisma's American lawyers contact the replacement prosecutor within hours of the termination and urgently seek a meeting in Ukraine to discuss the case?
Ukrainian prosecutors say they have tried to get this information to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) since the summer of 2018, fearing it might be evidence of possible violations of U.S. ethics laws. First, they hired a former federal prosecutor to bring the information to the U.S. attorney in New York, who, they say, showed no interest. Then, the Ukrainians reached out to President Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.
Ukraine's new president, Volodymyr Zelensky, told Trump in July that he plans to launch his own wide-ranging investigation into what happened with the Bidens and Burisma.
"I'm knowledgeable about the situation," Zelensky told Trump, asking the American president to forward any evidence he might know about. "The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case."

@NestaAstern , abuse of power? Where's your evidence? You can't use your whistle blower, because it's hearsay, inadmissable in a court of law, dear hypocrite.
Obstruction? Where? Are you back to "Russia, Russia, Russia!!"? That was debunked by the Mueller report. Not a single person charged with a crime by Mueller was convicted of collusion or obstruction.
Here's a hint, dear(this should be obvious to anyone with half a brain), if no one was charged with obstruction by Mueller there WASN'T ENOUGH EVIDENCE!🤣🤣🤣
Seriously, you're high right now, aren't you, dear hypocritical liar? 😂😂😂

@NestaAstern ,remember when I said, Warren will be the nominee? 😂😂😂
I'm assuming you watched the Democrat debate last night. Who's the front runner now, dear? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Everything I said is turning out to be 100% true. Warren will be your nominee, Dems will lose on impeachment, Dems will lose the House, and Trump will annihiate Warren.
A new analysis predicts Trump will win 2020, but they aren't just predicting a win. They're predicting that Trump will win in a landslide, collecting 400 electoral votes. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣IE: "you're handing him re-election on a silver platter"
https://thefederalist-gary.blogspot.com/2019/10/new-trump-might-get-400-electoral-votes.html
If I was right about Biden and Warren, which I was, perhaps you should reconsider your floundering candidates. Just saying. 🤣🤣🤣😘

@NestaAstern , no dear. Allow me to educate you, once again, dearest hypocrite.
If Impeachment passes the house, which they won't vote on because Nancy no longer has the votes, impeachment goes to the Republican controlled Senate. The Senate majority leader, McConnell, has the right to run the Senate court anyway he wants. Just like Democrats are doing in the House, denying rights to the accused, and denying Republicans subpoena power to call witnesses or give a defense.
Mitch has vowed to vote immediately to dismiss impeachment. In order to dismiss impeachment, there doesn't need to be a trial. There doesn't need to be a 2/3 majority. To dismiss impeachment, Republicans only need a simple majority vote. So impeachment is dead, before it even gets to the Senate. Your Democrat leadership knows this, so does the media. The only ones who don't know it are the stupid Democrat voters being gaslighted by liberal news.
How Mitch McConnell could give impeachment the Merrick .

@NestaAstern , are you really this stupid? Name the last president who remained in political offices after his term as president was over? Did Carter? Did Reagan? Did either Bush? Did Bill Clinton? Did Obama? No dear. Once you're done being the president, you're political aspirations are over. You don't go from being the president to becoming a senator. So, what does anyone care about your useless fantasy factoids? He's gonna be a two term president. Everyone knows it, except the stupid Democrat voters, like you.
Impeachment may pass the House, but I doubt it. Nancy won't vote, cause she doesn't have the numbers. The Senate will dismiss the case with a simple majority. Your impeachment wet dream is a broken fantasy. Way to double down on stupid, dearest hypocrite. I can see you, like all liberals, have no intention of learning from your mistakes. Well done. 🤣🤣🤣
