It is funny how a strong majority agrees that an elected official who uses his power to attack his political rivals should be removed from office, and yet Trump who has clearly done so only agrees by a few points that he should be impeached. It shows his power over his base of prejudiced and ignorant voters.
If a president is allowed to use his powers to attack his political opponents, and asks foreign governments to help him in this attack, then clearly we are no longer a democratic republic, and we have installed a dictator in office. We are scarcely better than North Korea or Saudi Arabia then. Trump's followers are just like the crowds celebrating 70 years of communist rule in China yesterday, while real people rise up for democracy against them in Hong Kong. Trump is Xi Jin Ping, the Republicans are his goose-stepping flag-waving followers, and the Democrats are the people of Hong Kong rising up for freedom.
I think it's funny how the liberal mind tends to work. Dude, all you and others have ever done over the years is either work or assist others with the task of trying to control other peoples minds or manipulate the way people think. I think you've been doing it so much for so long that it's having a negative impact on your ability to reason and your ability to respond/ speak to those who have the ability to reason. Well, I've got the mind that you and others combined aren't able to manipulate and control. In others words, I have the mind that can over power yours and others combined and scare the crap out of others. I look at the information and what you claim to be true and chuckle. Once again, I suggest that you figure out a way to step up your logic/intelligence or game when we're back in town. I'm sorry but the bulk of the Republican folks are most likely above you in intelligence level. I know that you guys teach that we are as dumb as this and that and whatever else you get away with teaching clueless blue recruits and supporters/followers about us. Based on what I've read and what I've seen over the years, the only difference between American Progressives and the Chinese Progressives trying to take control over Honk Kong today is the Chinese Progressives have been the ones in power for over fifty years and t have a military in place that is capable of doing it for them as long as we don't get actively involved politically, don't continue the trade war that's bleeding them economically, don't begin doing the kind of covert operations like we did during the Soviet incursion into Afghanistan that eventually toppled them and significantly cut them down in size like we did with the old Soviet Union.
