What we need is the dissolution of the Democratic Party -- for its prejudice. Replace them with a pack of assorted Republicans and Libertarians.

The persecution under color of law -- or purportedly so -- is what's known in psychology as a smokescreen. Every barely imaginable excuse is thrown up as a reason, but none of these is the real reason.

The real reason is they're trying to impeach Trump for not being -- well, her name does not pass my lips; not that Mistress of Corruption. This drives all the persecuters' prejudice; they have in aid of their shameful prejudice sucked up *all* the corruption and prejudice in Washington. For the time being, the Republicans can't have any.

Our draconian ("Written in blood, not ink!") Donkey Party solons exhibit a low and insufficiently democratic character. Winning an election fair and square against one of their own, their corrupted own, is no sort of actionable offense, but a tonic to the free Republic.

Well, that wasn't at all alarming.

Those who mistake the Democratic Party for having virtue these days would find it alarming. Those not laboring under that mistake aren't alarmed one bit. The oligarchic road, the divide-and-rule, heavy emphasis on the latter, of the Donkey Party and the demographics that favor it above all else -- that is alarming. One may avoid much foolishness by not mistaking the Donkey Party for America.

This is the party that nominated, elected, and reelected an anti-American socialist for President, and before him a grifter, and the party whose defective groupthink offered us the Unindicted Felon most lately. It also makes a home for socialists so radical as to be fanatically opposed to... the economy.

Machine politics is very unattractive stuff when you look at the gears whirling. It is the mainstay of the Democrats.

Clodfobble, you need, if you like personal integrity, to revise your adjectives. My pronouncements are liberty-minded. You find that unfashionable, or somehow unacceptable. You're not liberty-minded, and that keeps you from adulthood. I won't tell you not to go there -- too late -- but I can tell you not to stay there. Be liberty-minded and come to admirable manhood -- it doesn't hurt or anything.

Oh, I can assure you that coming to manhood would be quite painful for me. I like my tits and bits where they are.

Fair enough. Be liberty-minded and come to admirableness anyway. Still doesn't hurt.

I'm not here to steer you wrong; you are not being played with nor deceived.

What have they got nothin' of? The subject of the investigation has confessed, multiple times in public.

He said he didn't do "quid pro quo", he just asked for something in exchange for something. It's not a Rorschach test, it's a question of whether you can use Google translate.

Yep, ask smokin' joe about that: he's proud of how handled them ewe-crane folks.

"he just asked for something in exchange for something"

That's the opinion of some folks, yeah. The proof of it, well, that's what the hearings are about, yeah?

Embezzlement is using company funds to pay for a personal product, gain, or favor. Does it really matter that the company, this time, is the government?

He (and his father Fred) have been doing this sort of thing his entire adult life. Only real question: is it flagrant enough (are the crimes broad enough) to justify impeachment?

An author has little relevance. A sentence relevant to the topic is quoted.

The quoted sentence is an example of what can be called embezzlement. And an example of how what The Don has always done.

Please only post rational thoughts.

Embezzlement involves money, anything else is just theft.

Wacko extremist again using his penis for a brain. Using your emotional thought processes and insults - then maybe you might understand how manipulated and demented you are. I doubt it. Your extremist addiction and nasty attitude has been too long.

There is a drug for that.

Maybe you should start a thread and call each of us out on our wacko extremist views, complete with links to our statements.
