Political Warfare

Behind the curtains, there is partisan warfare. How could there not be?

Mr Trump is attempting to get his herd of elephants all going in one way. But some seem hesitant in joining a stampede?

Ms Pelosi has most of the Democrats on her side. It's not so much about whether there will be an impeachment, as much as when will it be?

Mr Trump continues to break the law, by demanding all witnesses from the White House ignore all requests and subpoenas. That is not legal and it is the Congress that writes the laws. The Courts may yet have to decide?

Mr Trump plans on hosting Mr Erdogan of Turkey on Wednesday, the day the networks planned on showing the opening of the impeachment inquiry. Will the networks cut away from the hearing for a press conference between the two leaders? That is to be seen.

When the Articles are passed on to the Senate, it will be the responsibility of Mitch McConnell to make a decision whether to have a fair trial, or to rush it thru with a minimum of witnesses? That would be a huge gamble. Simply because no one knows what else is going to come forward in this counter-intelligence scandal?

Yes, there is collusion. There was collusion all along. The lies are being exposed, slowly but surely.

Will the majority of Republicans rush into a decision so momentous? So necessary for the future health of our democracy?

Or will they treat it with the urgency and importance the people of this country deserve?

The people are growing tired of the drama and the chaos and the incompetence of our leaders, if not already there?

Do Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer even talk to each other? Is it too much to ask for a little bi-partisanship at this crucial time in our history?

They will ratfuck the truth and try to substitute rw lies every second they are on the mic and that is all they will do. They do not give one ounce of care about the truth - this will be pure partisan BS and nothing less. You will hear the name Biden more often than you will anything else from traitor Senators, again, they put power and $$ above our country and PUtin and his tool drumpf are offerring what they need so they are staying with that.
