34. What a barbaric thing to say!

You must be very insecure in your beliefs to react like this.

So, according to you, if I don't agree with your principles, I am unprincipled?

Pelosi bases her decisions solely on political calculation. Is that "acting on best principles"? Depending on how you look at it, maybe yes, maybe no.

But no one should be summoned to die by writing an article pointing out the complexities of the situation.

All those in favor of impeachment say "aye"... AYE!!!! InAbLuEsTaTe May 2019 #1
