    The saddest part of this is that Jim Jordan's and Trump's rhetorical skills work on like 35-40% of the American population. That is scarier than Trump.

    We have two grown children. They are news junkies like their father, because they grew up around me, and I encouraged in them the need to get the news they were interested in from a broad range of sources. To not take at face value a single news source as telling the truth.

    I can’t recall if @dachuda86 has kids, but I think he does. I wonder what he tells them. I also wonder what they will think of his take on the big issues we are facing today when they are adults, like mine are. If they are genuinely curious as adults and well educated, they might surprise him. I hope so.

    I worry about the children growing up with parents who are rabid trump supporters. Parents, obviously, have a lot of influence on their kids if they are around them growing up and engaged with them. They are far from the only influence on them, of course, so there could be hope there.

    What is also sad is Jordan is part of the oversight committee. What exactly is his job? To defend the president or to defend the country interests?

    History will record that there were those who stood by the Constitution and those who stood by Trump.

    the whistleblower's account was corroborated by
    • the WH's written recap of the Ukraine telephone call
    • Trump's own admission, as well as
    • acting DNI's testimony to Congress.



    btw,
    the House impeachment of Clinton, in 1998, was advanced by hearsay / second-hand information​

    That is an excellent report as Linda Tripp never saw Bill Clinton getting a BJ from Monica Lewinsky.

    Also note that Mark Felt who was "Deep Throat" of Watergate didn't witness any of the events directly that he provided info to and his identity was kept secret until 31 years after the events of Watergate.

    Truly amazing when they lie, get called out for it real time, and then simply shrug their shoulders. Its as if they don't value their integrity at all...

    LOl, the "hearsay/secondhand" info would make sense if they hadn't already released the transcript

    It's like OJ arguing "yeah, but did they find Nicole's body, SHOW ME THE BODY!"

    Huh, didn't this IDIOT support a hearsay impeachment of Clinton?

    Unless he was in the closet watching him get a hummer?

    There is no law that trump won't break, especially to protect himself...
