It comes down to this.
Weve cut through the denials. The deflections. The nonsense.
Donald Trump believes he can pressure a foreign nation to help him politically. Its his right.
Every Republican in Congress has to decide: Is he right?

As the President of the United States, I have an absolute right, perhaps even a duty, to investigate, or have investigated, CORRUPTION, and that would include asking, or suggesting, other Countries to help us out!

(23,158 posts)The president is claiming the rights of a dictator and that the constitution means nothing to him and will not constrain him in any way. His illegality is the prime thing and will Repugs also adopt this traitorous cant? Schiff is asking the right question but repugs will fail because they are agents of the fascist oligarchs and that's the only thing they care about, certainly not our laws and constitution.

Were this a Democrat behaving like this, Republicans in Congress would be screaming from the rafters on high...."IMPEACH! IMPEACH! TRAITOR!"
Am I wrong here?

(791 posts)but what on earth are they thinking? How has anything 45 has said out loud in the past month helped him in any way? If he would just stop self-incriminating for a couple hours here and there he might have a shot.
They are toast. To the unraveling!

It's what Republicans do. Their morals and ethics are subjective, which means they have no morals or ethics. Period.
