    I wouldn't go quite that far. I think there are some honest members, but yes, many of them are corrupt. The difference is that a career politician, like Obama, for instance, becomes skilled at cover up. They never come out and say completely what they believe. They manipulate the fog very well. Trump, on the other hand, just thinks it and says it. You might not like him, but at least you do know where he stands.

    I've heard your allegations but not seen your evidence or repubs doing anything about it at the time so it's easy to dismiss right wing talking points they use to convince themselves and as for the honesty of what the dufus says, my gosh they are proven lies even if they sound good to you, but it's comical the way you spin the lies and big mouth as a good thing.

    On Obama? Are you kidding? How about 4 dead bodies in Benghazi? Would that be enough evidence for you? The lying on 5 Sunday morning news programs that went on? Or the VA scandal? Or the IRS scandal? The secret meeting between Lynch and BC just days before HC was let off the hook? If you can't see that, then your eyes are closed. It is all out in the open for anyone who is interested in the truth to notice.

    That's what really discredits your complaining in my view. Your explosive vitriol that you direct at Trump, and yet the incredible blindness you direct towards Obama just make your complaining to be clearly a lot of political noise.

    You sound like a broken record with half of it missing, so all due respect, I dismiss your whole accounting of what is now documented and archived HISTORY. Today we have the saddest excuse for a great nation as I have ever witnessed and it honestly gives me no joy or pride to endure it, but I do hope as a nation we can overcome this dismal display of idiocy.

    To clarify, It goes beyond the partisan political noise of typical silly season electioneering, it's America at a lot less than it's best, and that diminishes us both, as well as ALL of US!

    I think it would be laughable if not so serious, that the dufus worries so much about corruption in other countries but goes through great lengths to hide his own. Even more puzzling is that repubs think it's okay for foreigners to investigate Americans who so far happen to be just his political enemies.

    I think the road is laden with mines! Here is the issue: To find dirt on someone, they must have made dirt......then comes the question of: Why did they make dirt in the first place. Just because someone with few scruples, like President Trump, has the temerity to ask a foreign government for dirt on you doesn't absolve you from the need to be scrutinized...playing the victim is fairly superficial. If you didn't commit a crime, of some description, then there wouldn't be a rug to find dirt under. I think this whole thing is headed for a "Nuclear Exchange" if the documents Giuliani has on the Bidens (Father & Son) come to light.....Trump may take a torpedo below the water line but Biden will absorb a so many salvos his ship, too, will keel over.

    Its going to get really nasty.

    It's silly season Vac, and no dirt is actually needed to smear an opponent or anybody else since that's been the dufus playbook since he announced his candidacy. It's against the law to solicit a foreign nation to help a political campaign no matter what the cover story is, and against the law for you to use government time and resources to run a campaign.

    If you cannot see that the dufus breaks both of those laws then maybe you should brush up on the law. I can forgive many for not being able to read the Mueller Reort, or understand it, but the latest developments are extremely compelling and the dufus is in trouble no matter what repubs in the senate do about it.

    Yeah Nasty is the word for it alright. Guiliani will be the first casualty though I predict, but clearly others will get sucked into this mess the dufus makes.

    Cherry picking your own facts and dismissing the whole story is highly prejudicial and deceptive since you got nothing but right wing talking points that ignore the findings in MANY investigations into this sneak attack. You go visit those graves for perspective as a life lost is tragic, and would have been more but for the actins of the others that blunted the attack.

    Sadly that's the way terrorists attacks go, as well as anytime the bad guys get the drop on the good guys no matter where it is. We've had enough of those in this country for you to know that and have a sober perspective on it, so spare me the conspiracy theories of the loonies. Politicizing such a tragedy is just plain despicable.

    Nah. You just don't like the facts. It was plainly a coordinated terror attack and Obama knew that, but then he sent Susan Rice onto five Sunday morning news programs to say it was just an spontaneous response to a offensive video the attackers did not like. That was completely untrue. If Trump had done that, you'd want his head, but since it was your beloved Mr. Obama, then you just blow the whole thing off. The families of the dead Americans would beg to differ with you. Politics.

    "...gained carnal knowledge of his brother's wife..."! Good grief! Join the 21st century.

    Anyway, you're dead wrong. They were both free agents. Hunter was separated from his wife, and his brother had died of brain cancer. You really should be more careful when assassinating someone's character. Tells us a lot about YOU.

    As for the rest, it means nothing in the discussion over impeaching Trump. It's just another side-show distraction Trump is expert at when he needs to change the subject.

    As far as Trump's ACE IN THE HOLE being AG Barr - what are you smoking? Barr is worse than Trump. At least Trump can plead Derangement Syndrome. Barr knows exactly what he's doing and will probably be criminally charged whereas Trump can only be impeached, not criminally charged (until he leaves office).

    No doubt the president for profit would rather you look at his opponents which at the moment are the Bidens, than his own family, or what he is doing, both in the WH and outside of it. He certainly has enough sycophants and yes men around him to carry that out since he took over the repub party. He can stall all he wants but I hope dems keep up the pressure at least.

    While it's not required to gather evidence, a vote in the House making the impeachment inquiry OFFICIAL would go a long way in swaying the courts to enforce all those subpoenas as well as a few more whistle blowers wouldn't hurt. LOL, the way to fight an unlawful bully is with the law. The dufus hates the law, because he is not above it despite the hype that he is.

    I have no problem with scrutinizing candidates for president myself, and have said so, but not at the expense of ignoring the guy who holds the offfice already as a fair comparison. You want to follow Biden and his kids money fine, but let's follow the dufus's and his kids money too! Sounds fair to me.

    So far though the dufus and his sycophants don't want fair and never did. I mean would you love the dufus as much if you found out that he owes Vlad a fortune, and Vlad was demanding his money? Sound far fetched? Well shouldn't we at least check it out? I mean the guy has run scams before with charities and fake schools and even scammed the government in housing and barred from all those things so what makes you think he wouldn't find another sucker after those casinos failed?

    Maybe we should be asking those other countries he deals with for an investigation? Oh wait, that's exactly what Nancy and the dems are trying to do. That sounds pretty fair too!

    There is a vetting process for whistle blowers to follow, and so far they have. That's why it gets dumped in the relevant Inspector Generals lap, and evaluated and moved to the congress. The second WB just came out.

    Same can be said of the duly appointed special councel Robert Mueller who made his report earlier in the year though few read it and the dems dropped the ball in presenting it to the public, and executing it's findings, while repubs just ignored it completely, and blasted the dems incompetence.

    What's wrong with sleeping with his dead brother's wife?

    It sure sounds like you think sleeping with (btw, the first term used in this thread was "making out" -- now he's sleeping with her....?) one's sister-in-law is in-breeding ("a disgusting thought, dead or alive" -- your words that sound like you mean inbreeding).

All the women in this world and you choose your dead brother's wife: some kind of sick....Athos considers this to be normal.

    I didn't say anything about "inbreeding", that was Athos when he told me that I probably thought had no problems with "inbreeding"......now, why would he say such a thing, what reason? He never heard me support such and abomination. I grew up on a farm, I know the dangers of inbreeding: its wrong.....and I don't care that European royal families thought it was just fine.
