Opinion: Did Biden just commit an impeachable offense in Ukraine? - Say What?

By Marc A. Thiessen of the Washington Post.

This is so idiotic but I will just post the first paragraph:

Axios reports that the Biden administration may have twisted Zelensky’s arm to accept a deal President Biden just cut with Germany to allow it to move forward with its Nord Stream 2 pipeline with Russia — and conditioned a White House visit by Zelensky on acceptance of the deal.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/07/22/did-biden-just-commit-an-impeachable-offense-ukraine/

Can Mr. Thiessen not see the difference between Trump wanting Zelnensky to help with a personal political matter and Biden keeping good relations with an important ally - Germany?

He can take his opinion and shove it up his ass.

That alone should disqualify him from ever getting ANYTHING into print.

If you read any of his drivel in the WaPo, chances are that you would come to the same conclusion. Thiessen doesn't bother to post an opposing view, he posts an offending view.

That Biden meeting Zellensky is the same thing as what trump did, withholding pre-approved money if he doesn’t doesn’t make up dirt on his political opponents, it is outrageous and without merit

If the WP continues to present inane opinions like this, then I will consider canceling my subscription with them

Thiessan is a weekly contributor to the WAPO opinion page. Why, I have no idea. My blood boils every time I see his name. I understand presenting opposing points of view, but enough is enough.

It is one thing to write an opinion, say, that Whinny Donny was the best president this century, but one should have an internal logic.
