Did President Trump try to use federal policy toward Ukraine to get it to announce an investigation into Joe Biden and his son Hunter?
It is pretty clear that he did, and Republican allies of Trump have put very little effort into denying it.
✄
Gordon Sondland, the Trump-appointed ambassador to the European Union, has testified that Trump “didn’t want to hear about” Ukrainian efforts against corruption and that concerns over corruption had not led to the withholding of aid from any other country within his portfolio.
✄
Congress has impeached many officials for misconduct not involving statutory crimes, and included non-crimes in its efforts to impeach Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Clinton.
✄
It might be possible to regard Trump’s Ukraine misadventure as a lapse of judgment, with little harm done, if he showed any repentance or even understanding of what he has done wrong.
Instead it looks more like a window into tendencies of his that are incompatible with performing the functions of his office.
✄
The Constitution provides for impeachment and removal to protect us from officials, including presidents, who are unable or unwilling to distinguish between the common good that government is supposed to serve and their own narrow interests.
Though he has done some good things in office, Trump is just such a president. Congress should act accordingly.

Whenever I got to DC, I would have a lump in my throat, and say, “I’m in democracy’s hometown!”
I hope I can, again, some day.

O, America you’re calling
I can hear you calling me
You are calling me to be true to thee
True to thee… I will be
O, America you’re weeping
Let me heal your wounded heart
I will keep you in my keeping
Till there be… a new start
And I will answer you, and I will take your hand
And lead you… to the sun
And I will stand by you…do all that I can do
And we will be… as one
O, America I hear you
From your prairies to the sea
From your mountains grand, and all through this land
You are beautiful to me
And… O, America you’re calling
I can hear you calling me
You are calling me to be true to thee
True to thee… I will be
And I will answer you, and I will take your hand
And lead you… to the sun
And I will stand by you… do all that I can do
And we will be…as one
O, America you’re calling
I will ever answer thee

Putin says Trump was impeached for ‘far-fetched’ reasons

I ask you…
If you can’t trust former KGB foreign intelligence officer Lieutenant Colonel Putin, who can you trust?

Do you really want to leave creation and enforcement of all laws and regulations to the states?

Could we send Putin’s puppets back to Russia as his pet nitwits? Shipping them COD would also be a nice touch.
