I agree 100% with Seth Abramson on this:

1. Exactly. And the Republican Party is all down with it...

... because they're all up in it.

[Botany]

2. Yup!

Americans must understand the Ukraine scandal is the continuation of the Russian influence campaign that infected the 2016 election.

[Martin Eden]

3. Seems obvious, but the voting public needs to see it that way too

Our Democratic nominee is going to have loads of ammunition.

[triron]

4. Republicans and even many in the media have thrown out quite a smoke screen on this.

[DENVERPOPS]

12. And this:

Paine: "And these are the times that try men's souls........."

When Paine uses the word “try” in this context in “The Crisis,” he means something like “test.” In other words, he is saying that the times they were living in were the times that tested men's souls. ... Paine is saying that some people will not stand up for their country and their freedom.

Words that are never so true as our countries current situation................

5. I believe they view everything

Through the lens of “If it makes us money, it can’t be wrong”.

[Mr.Bill]

16. The ancient saying

"Money is the root of all evil" comes to mind.

[lunatica]

20. The old saying actually says, "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil."

Money itself is neutral. It can be used to save lives, feed the hungry and provide life’s necessities. And, of course, used for fomenting evil in all its forms.

[soldierant]

23. Yup. "Radix malorum est cupiditas."

Though I've heard it said that it's not just cupidity. Stupidity also plays a part.

[burrowowl]

25. Under Raygun greed instead of being a capital sin

became a virtue and the nation stultified.

[Baked Potato]

26. Agreed

[Gothmog]

6. trump is putin's puppet

[UTUSN]

7. MEACHAM said that it can't be emphasized enough "how dramatically SHITLER

"has shifted towards Russia," totally reversing our world view since FDR.

[Sunsky]

8. I've been saying this all along

and as Speaker Pelosi told the puppet in the White House, "All roads lead to Putin".

[mylightningtoo]

9. The Compass Always

points to Vladimir.

[Hamlette]

10. I read Trump had business interests in Ukraine that went belly up which is another reason he hates

Ukraine. I'll look for my source but it was in the mid 2000's.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

11. Interesting. No wonder he hates so many people & countries.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. here you go

[Hamlette]

33. thanks!

I found it yesterday and started reading it which led to something else and then "squirrel" my train of thought got derailed. Thannks for posting this.

[budkin]

13. Which was also a total hoax! (SARCASM)

I wish Democrats weren't so afraid of linking the Mueller investigation to the Ukraine scandal but I understand why they are.

[subana]

14. like Hillary said...

all roads lead to Russia!! She's right. That's the reason (I think) that he acted like he didn't want to give them the military support they needed, because it would have made it more difficult for Russia to occupy that country! As we all know by now, Trump loves Russia!!

[DENVERPOPS]

21. Before that Hillary stated:

Hillary stated openly during the pre election that there is a massive republican conspiracy or something to that effect. And everyone laughed her off.
No one is laughing now, are they????

[patphil]

15. Yes, Trump is their boy.

A bonafide Russian asset.

[empedocles]

17. How close has any of the hearing witnesses come to noting similiarities 'twixt

putin policies and trump attempted policies?

[KPN]

18. Bullseye! You absolutely could not explain the problem any better than that.

Unfortunately, the rabid right will just say “so what? What’s the problem with that?”

[dalton99a]

19. Kick

[cp]

24. Exactly

Putin

[applegrove]

27. And don't forget the only change to the GOP platform the Trump team

wanted at the 2016 GOP Convention had to do with arm sales to Ukraine (no). Like Nancy Pelosi said "all roads lead to russia".

[crickets]

28. +1

[Nitram]

29. This exactly what the testimony in the impeachment hearings is exposing.

[Cha]

30. Precisely, Seth!

Thank you, triron

[BlueJac]

31. K&R

[lostnfound]

32. Duh! Isn't that obvious?? Oh yeah, not to "low information voters". Nt
