(but she won the popular vote?) i looked it up but couldn't find that the ruling Party gets any perk except the Chair, and the minority party the Ranking Member seems like the important ones have the majority party holding the majority seats, the Senate Judicial being a vital one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keepthefaith Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Maybe we can agree that the only mistake Trump really made with Ukraine was not limiting Zelensky to a 6 hour window in which to comply with his request. Had Trump done that, aid would have flowed immediately and by now an investigation would have yielded info. Even the left could agree with that, right? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about one president or another. It's about the rule of law -- specifically if we want to live in a nation where we have merely the ILLUSION of a republic, but are in fact ruled over by a group of unelected intelligence and foreign service personnel whose loyalties do not align with that of the people. One side is FINE with living in an illusion. That's GarBoTibs of the board. They have NO problem with doing "whatever it takes" to get rid of Trump, because they've been programmed to be more emotional than rational. They believe he's a NAZI -- and anything is justified when you're fighting Nazis, even subverting the rule of law... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
