Impeachment?

[jp1]

Democrats have been searching for any reason to impeach for the past 3 years. During tonight's debate Tom Steyer bragged that he's been using his time and resources to promote impeachment for the past two years. It sounds to many people the Democrats have just recently found a possible basis for their coup and are running with it, so I think you're right, someone's gonna have to justify their actions and make a convincing case for why it's not their new normal.

I suppose if you ignore all the evidence that has been brought forward in the past couple of months this might matter. At the end of the day no matter how you slice it our president used the power of his office to withhold taxpayer funded military aid to try and extort a foreign country into assisting his reelection by opening a bogus investigation into his political opponent.

“To the many evangelicals who continue to support Mr. Trump in spite of his blackened moral record, we might say this: Remember who you are and whom you serve. Consider how your justification of Mr. Trump influences your witness to your Lord and Savior. Consider what an unbelieving world will say if you continue to brush off Mr. Trump’s immoral words and behavior in the cause of political expediency. If we don’t reverse course now, will anyone take anything we say about justice and righteousness with any seriousness for decades to come? Can we say with a straight face that abortion is a great evil that cannot be tolerated and, with the same straight face, say that the bent and broken character of our nation’s leader doesn’t really matter in the end?”

Franklin Graham must be more than a bit peeved at this...

What makes you think it's bogus? I think that the only winner in this whole thing is the Biden family, they're now effectively shielded from any serious investigation into the son using his father's influence to collect 10X the going rate for a director of an energy company, and we'll never be allowed to know how much influence was used to keep it coming.

It's hard to disagree with that, Trump's personality sucks and that should be a factor in an election, but it's not an impeachable offense.

I just happened upon this on Twitter, by mistakenly clicking on the wrong hashtag when looking for the debates. I'm not an Evangelical, but my spiritual orientation is Christian and I was raised Catholic and it's really in my DNA, and I applaud Billy Graham for calling out what I believe to be a truth--that supporting Donald Trump is a huge spiritual sell-out. I'll be interested in hearing how the Evangelicals respond--a cursory look at the Twitter feed indicates that many are willing to crucify Billy Graham and absolve Barabas Trump.

I'll let you use the googles to get outside the fox/breitbart bubble and find the answer.

Fox/Breitbart bubble. That makes me laugh out loud.

(didn't we used to have a strikethrough function?)

Yes, the software didn't come with it but I installed it......poorly.....it's icon doesn't show up in the quick reply box but can be used by typing the script beginning/end on either side of the word or phrase you wish to strike.

Example: (strike) text to strike (/strike) where you replace brackets ( & ) with brackets [ & ] to get this text to strike

It worked! Thanks!

Forgive me for making that assumption if it’s incorrect. It’s just that anyone who has other news sources has likely learned that the whole ‘Biden got a Ukrainian prosecutor fired to protect his son’ story was debunked.
