“The phrase “defund” is a slogan word that is not sufficiently descriptive of the need for change. I’m hearing a need to reallocate resources to address the needs of the communities. A call for affordable housing, mental and medical health resources, school support, and jobs instead of adversarial an…”
“The military is not comprised of toy soldiers to be used by a weak and insecure little man who used foreign help and xenophobic attacks to become the President while losing the popular vote by millions. It is not “his” but America’s and should not be using war tactics against people engaged in peace…”
“Flynn betrayed the country. Flynn lied. Flynn should go to jail. Too many people in this unscrupulous and corrupt Administration are acting against the interests of the United States. The Justice Department has been completely dishonored by the actions of AG Barr. The destruction of the rule of law …”
“Trump has traded one Tea Party loyalist for another. The Chief of Staff position in this White House is face down on the floor so Trump can walk all over him. Being appointed to this position is not prestigious but shows the appointee has the capacity for enduring limitless humiliation, abuse, and e…”
“I would be more interested to have an investigation to find out what pressure has made the Republican Party become so enamored of crazy conspiracies. What does Putin have on the RNC? It is not credible to think they only targeted one side with hacking.
Shady people are always suspicious since they e…”
“Trump deserves to be removed from office. I thank all the Democratic Senators for recognizing the truth of Trump’s guilt and the need to hold him accountable even when the political price is hard.
I thank Senator Romney for standing with his conscience.
I deplore the Republican Senators who know t…”
“Nancy Pelosi showed great restraint in listening to the lies and watching the stunts pulled by the reality show president. I would have flung the torn pieces at his head! How dare he use military families as fodder for his television extravaganza. This is meant to be a serious speech by the governme…”
“He’s guilty of the charges. He obstructed Congress. He broke the law by holding back aid to Ukraine. And he did it for personal gain-for his re-election goals. And he admitted it in public. And he will continue to abuse his presidential powers and the Republican Senators will do nothing to check him…”
“Bolton is a fact witness to the actions taken by the President that have resulted in the impeachment trial. Fact witnesses must be called. Impeachment is constitutional. Witnesses that have no bearing on the improper conduct of the President and his actions are not relevant. Hunter Biden and his emp…”
“Republicans say witnesses should have been called in the House proceedings. They wanted them then. Now they don’t. And why were none of the witnesses testifying in the House? Because the President obstructed Congress and ordered the witnesses to ignore the subpoenas. And what does that indicate? GUI…”
“Any Senator who refuses to acknowledge the inherent problem with the actions taken by Trump in relation to Ukraine and his pressure campaign is condoning corrupt behavior by a President for his personal benefit. This abdication of responsibility to be a check on the executive branch is a violation o…”
“Keep in mind that Mike Pompeo and Lindsey Graham are supporting this deranged president in his desire to escalate tensions with Iran when neither of them has faced combat during the military service they are credited with. Yet they seem unconcerned about the military personnel and families facing da…”
“Iran is a bad actor. Soleimani was responsible for many deaths. But provoking and instigating increased tensions in the Middle East is the action of a President who wants to change the conversation from his impeachment and corruption. Does he think that this has insulated him from removal and ensure…”
“Trump must be impeached to protect our constitutional democracy from the abuse of power by the Executive Branch. Congress has oversight responsibilities and refusing to provide any and all documents and testimonies to Congress is a violation of the President’s oath to protect and defend the Constitu…”
“The USA made a promise to DACA recipients. It must be kept. The Congress should legislate to preserve the rights of the DACA recipients to prevent their scapegoating. It is appalling how many times the Trump Administration betrays the interests of the country to be spiteful and focused on overturnin…”
“This “quid pro quo” is not designed to benefit the United States. This is extortion to benefit the political ambitions of President Trump. It is a thuggish tactic, reminiscent of a mob protection racket. If Republicans think that’s okay to protect this president, where will this end? There is right …”
“Federal funds are not “rewards” for praising an egomaniacal President. Climate change is exacerbating the naturally occurring fires in the California area. Contrary to Trump’s opinion, the President is responsible for all of the country and the devastation caused to our economy by natural disasters …”
“This shows a physical wall, as promoted by Trump, is a waste of money and is ineffective to stop illegal drugs and human trafficking. If they are serious about border security there are better ways to achieve it using technology and manpower. Stop throwing taxpayer money away to prop up a campaign p…”
“The President has a duty to uphold the Constitution and protect the interests of the country. This means to place country over the interests of himself and his political party. Donald Trump is incapable of doing that and he must be impeached and removed from office before he abuses the power of the …”
