    And? What crime(s) has Trump been convicted of? NONE!!!!!!
    Flounder? That's your personal opinion. Still no crime.
    Corrupt and incompetent? That's your personal opinion. Still no crime.
    Fake news. Trump never "bragged about sexually assaulting women." Listen to the tape again. He said that "you can do anything". He never said he did.
    The truth hurts.
    That's not what the phone transcript says. Nowhere in the phone transcript did Trump demand anything from anybody.

    Zelensky publicly stated that he never felt pressured during the call and Zelensky publicly stated that he was unaware of the aid being frozen until after the call.

    Yes, the Democrat party is way off its rails.

    The left and right have a great ability to talk past one another. The is little face to face communication between "warring" sides for that is what has become.

    All I see here is a bunch of emotional content.

    There is no question regarding the actions Trump has taken on the pro-life front.

    No integrity? You mean other than doing exactly what he said he would work towards when elected.

    How has he affected your access to your 2A rights. I'd love to hear that one.

    Here's one difference that I've noted just on this one forum: while righties and Trump supporters are quick to vilify "all liberals" as this or that evil, often specifying something quite despicable, I rarely see a post vilifying the right in like manner. Complaints of intractability, laments of being unable to break through the bubble, hints of a lack of knowledge, and so forth, but only the right accuses others of hating America and trying to destroy it. In addition to the nastiness of the false narratives, there is an arrogance to their surety that they alone have it right, and by "it" I mean every little ideological difference.

    It isn't that they are seeing things wrong, it's that they refuse to believe in the remotest possibility that they may be seeing something wrong.

    How about the right to simply be left alone. I don't feel as if I have any superiority over my fellow man. Do you feel as if you do?

    Anyone else noticed the OP created a troll thread and never spoke up after the OP?

    The wrongness comes from using the office of President of the United States as a cudgel to hold over the head of a dependent ally. If Trump wants dirt on Biden, he should let his little pit bull Rudy go get it, not the president of another country.

    That aid was not his to withhold, that's our money, mine and yours, and the process of vetting the recipient is within the purview of the DOJ, something they had already done.

    Congress approved the package, the DOJ approved the recipient of the package. Trump may have the right to hold it up, but for his own benefit? Sorry, no, that's extortion. It's just the sort of action the founders anticipated, and why they included impeachment in the Constitution.

    Exactly, Republicans basically hate each other, we are independents and only come together to fight a common enemy once and a while.

    Just leave us alone and we will do the same

    I have no idea what Republican party members think, nor do I care, as long as they keep their hands off me and my stuff.

    What does it matter if he used foreign interference? People use illegals to build their voter base after 50 million of them passed away with roe vs wade.

    I said I don't care what they do as long as they keep their hands off me and my stuff. I was not accusing anyone. Pump the hate brakes, Fox and Friends.

    Where the eff did that come from? Is race on your mind? It wasn't on mine.

    I did not use, nor do I see in my post, the word "white." Look again, please. I said "while" not "white."

    I'm beginning to see why you take so many things in a way that was not intended. A refresher course in reading comprehension would benefit many on this forum, closely followed by that civics class discussed on another thread.

    Sigh ...

    Beam me up, Scotty .... there's no intelligent life down here. :smoking:

    The bolded is ironic after you basically denied the left here at PF, does not sling group insults. And here you are, insulting others...

    No. That's my effing point, ffs. The arrogance of surety that you're right and those who disagree are wrong is far more prevalent on the right. Lefties are guilty of trying to tell us what's best for us, but they don't get so nasty about it and they don't project an attitude of "you can't teach me anything because I already know you're wrong."

    If you are saying that you, personally, want to be left alone, I think forums like this are counterproductive to that. Just sayin'.

    I did no such thing. And if I edit, it's because I missed a misspelling, or because I changed my mind about including a snarky remark.

    You're just trolling me now. Knock it off, please. That's beyond rude, and it's childish.

    (There, you see? I edited this because I misspelled childish.)
