LOL, Rolling Thunder? I mean, respect to their actual cause, but are we supposed to be intimidated by that? Surely you’re not saying that Rolling Thunder is a bunch of violent thugs who will threaten people’s personal safety if they don’t like their politics? If so, maybe we need to reconsider whether it’s safe to allow them to congregate downtown on Memorial Day. |
Rolling Thunder is no longer. Last year was the last one. |
“Fox News has learned that the Pentagon, State Department and National Security Council were “unanimous” in supporting the aid to Ukraine, and that Trump acted alone in withholding the aid over the summer.” |
Uh, we already knew both of those facts. But good for Fox for catching up. |
No, they will ride again. They've found new leaders/sponsors in Amvets. |
Bad as the behavior was, I get that impeachment is warranted, yes. Facts must come out, let chips fall where they may. As of now, what is the crime, as defined by United Stares Code that he is alleged to have violated? |
"betrayal, abuse of power, national security" |
Ironically, one need not commit a crime to be impeached. But since you ask, he is subverting his oath to office, bribery, extortion, RICO/Conspiracy to defraud, aiding and abetting the violation that Rudy has committed, the list goes on. Inciting civil war can be added to the list. |
“Ugh, guys, the Trump train is rolling off a cliff, let’s start doing some journalism now. Quick, what did everybody learn last week???” |
So with a bounty on the head of the whistleblower and a president broadcasting a warning about civil war, Republicans stand by, silent. |
Is fomenting a civil war impeachable?
Asking for a friend. |
Let’s go the law: Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. 18 USC 2383. Survey says....YES! |

IMF Demand For Ukraine Reform Just Latest Red Flag For Poroshenko https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-imf-demand-poroshenko-corruption/27545849.html Anticorruption campaigners point to the controversial appointment in February 2014, at the height of the Euromaidan furor, of sexagenarian Prosecutor-General Viktor Shokin. Shokin previously served in the same post under Presidents Leonid Kuchma and Viktor Yushchenko, and in his new tenure has proposed a number of Yanukovych-era holdovers for key functions, making him the ultimate political insider in the eyes of critics. Poroshenko has ignored repeated calls to sack Shokin, including from more than 100 members of parliament. |
