That's the canonical definition of chutzpah -- shameless effrontery -- and it summarizes the Democratic position on the attempted impeachment of President Trump. The Hillary Clinton campaign paid for the Steele dossier, assembled out of bits handed to ex-MI6 spook Christopher Steele from his Russian intelligence sources, and the FBI used this concoction to obtain FISA warrants to bug the Trump presidential campaign. Now, THAT'S foreign interference. And those facts aren't in dispute. When the Trump administration tries to get the truth out of foreign governments about their involvement in nefarious activities in the U.S., the Democrats scream, "Impeachment!"

Nothing less than the American republic is at stake here. It's time for every American patriot to rally around the president. Some of my neo-conservative ex-friends are cheering for the wrong side. Shame on them.
For the record, I don't care whether there was quid pro quo with Ukraine or not. If President Trump used military aid as a bargaining chip to persuade the government of Ukraine to investigate foreign subversion of our political system, he was doing his job as commander-in-chief to protect this country from its external enemies. The parade of striped-pants cookie-pushers from the State Department feeding information to closed-door Democratic Party kangaroo courts in the House of Representatives is irrelevant. Trump is fighting a mutiny by the U.S. intelligence community. If the mutineers succeed, it will be the end of the republic. If a cabal of bureaucrats nestling in the bowls of our $80 billion a year intelligence bureaucracy can bring down an elected president of the United States, the republic is finished.
Here are some interesting points to think about prior to 2020, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the never Trump Republicans and those thinking of "walking away" from the Democratic party.
~ Women are upset at Trump’s naughty words -- they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray. ~ Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women’s rights only matter if those women are liberal. ~ No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there's more. ~ Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege. ~ And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections. ~ President Trump’s wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America. ~ We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil. ~ They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi. ~ 60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index. Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation. In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism. ~ Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation. But Trump was the one investigated! ~ Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in. ~ A socialist is basically a communist who doesn’t have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint ... Yet! ~ How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone? ~ Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy. ~ Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don’t remember the FBI raiding his lawyer’s office.
~ I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America. ~ The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning now tells me Trump’s approval ratings are low. “The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money.”— Margaret Thatcher ~ Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings.
~ ~ Trump — They’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just in their way.
Even though I don't really watch much network television like sitcoms anymore, I saw an add on the baseball game last evening for his show... apparently a new season is coming back on Thursday January 2nd.... I may watch it a bit.... just because....
Anyone who knows me knows I don't particularly like many aspects of Trump - but, what I like or don't like is irrelevant. Goldman is right - Trump is not the perfect vessel, but he is much better than most and is the one we have.
Yeah man, a lot about that guy bugs me.... I mean, what's the deal with that dark suit and tie everyday? Does he wear that when he is golfing? How about if he goes swimming?
And what's the deal with that kid of his? Why is he over 6 feet tall at age 13? Are they giving him some kind of secret government vitamins or something? How come the kid never talks? Shouldn't he be doing a podcast or something at that age?

LOL! You and I are in complete agreement. I have yet to vote for Trump but fully intend to change that next year.

Your logic is easy enough to grasp. Beats me why there are still some calling themselves conservative who refuse to.
