I am not responsible for your reading comprehension. I think that most people can see that what I'm saying is that the cease-fire would not have even been necessary if Trump was not such an awful President and leader.

I never said that continuing to fight is preferred. Let me repeat it, the cease-fire was not necessary until Trump green-lighted Turkey's incursion and the subsequent atrocities and war-crimes that occurred as a result. Is that so difficult to understand? Or will you continue to manufacture more straw-men to knockdown instead of reading what I'm saying? Besides, Trump sent what 1,000 troops to Saudia Arabia? The Pentagon is now sending "additional military assets" to protect the Syrian oil fields that were left exposed after the disastrous break-the-glass and bomb our bases on the way out retreat Trump announced over Twitter? You are delusional if you think Trump has ended anything. All he has done is made a bad situation much worse and ceded command and control of the region over to Russia, Turkey, and Iran. Even a house majority rebuked Trump over his actions in a 354-60 vote. The only question that indeed remains is how much more water are you going to carry for this awful man simply because you voted for him?

It's just another bell-wether in the continuing collapse of Trump's defense. You and Rich act like Trump has nothing to worry about when all indications are that he is in serious trouble. You have to be willfully ignorant not to see the writing on the wall. Or do you guys think Trump is winning?  Here is just the shortlist of all the shoes that dropped this week alone. There will be many more to come.

Trump called Mattis in the summer of 2018 and told him to "screw Amazon" out of a $10Bn cloud contract. This action, by itself, is impeachable.

Guiliani is in hiding and calling anyone he can begging for cash to pay for his defense lawyers. Trump's utterly unsound judgment is clearly on display by the fact that he would use this walking talking moronic disaster on two feet for anything at all. Much less something as illegal and immoral and unethical as shaking-down foreign leaders for political dirt on his domestic opponents.

Government officials past and present are defying the White House's attempts to block their cooperation with the impeachment inquiry, and so far, their evidence backs up the whistle-blower complaint.

Bolton will be testifying to the impeachment inquiry. I'm sure the "drug deal" that Giuliani and Mulvaney were cooking up will be a prime topic of discussion.

Tim Morrison, an NSC official who is a witness to one of the most explosive pieces of evidence, will be testifying soon.

Federal Judge Howell granted the impeachment inquiry access to the redacted parts of Mueller's grand jury files. There is no doubt impeachable offenses contained in there too.

The impeachment inquiry is begin conducted using guidelines that were put into place by a Republican Congress when John Boehner was the speaker. There are 31 Republicans who can participate in the witness depositions. Of the cadre of clowns, Matt Gaetz marched into the SCIF last week, 13 of them can join the testimonies anytime they like. No one with a shred of credibility believes the inquiry is a star-chamber. 

Trump truly believes that he did nothing wrong and that he is the impeachment team. He is such a narcissistic sociopath he's not even capable of realizing that he has committed wrongdoing and that he's in serious jeopardy. He is so dumb that he thinks the best strategy is to continue his deep-state nonsense and insist that Barack Obama, the most popular figure in American politics, directed a government-wide scheme to sabotage his Presidency. This continued war on every branch of the government that does not shower him in nauseating obsequious praise is only going to encourage more career diplomats to come forward with what they know.

This sh!t-sh-w of a dumpster fire is what you guys think is winning?

I would not mind if a centrist Republican were to get the nomination and win. At this point, just about anyone would be better than this disaster of a President. Trump is the most un-American president we have ever had. It's no longer a question of whether or not he will be the most corrupt President of the modern era; it's a question of whether or not he's the most corrupt ever.

The latest shoe to drop? Kelly says he knew Trump's impeachment would be inevitable if he surrounded himself with yes men because he needed adults in the room to protect himself from his worst proclivities. Instead, Trump surrounded himself with butt-dialing minions like Giuliani and idiots like Mulvaney, who can't help but admit the quid pro quo live on national television.

So much winning!

This 9 AM ET announcement about Baghdadi is incredibly bizarre. I have never seen an American President so gleefully talk about disturbing things. The gloating, the chest-beating, the recounting of atrocities in gory detail, and the dehumanization of men, women, and children because they died under horrible conditions are just so un-American. It's disgusting how he makes us look like the country that loves to kill men, women, and children who are begging for their lives. Incredibly sick and unprofessional, and this is a treasure trove of recruiting material for ISIS. He did take the opportunity to kiss Erdogan and Putin's asses, though, so no surprise there.

As usual, your reading comprehension is abysmal. I didn't say he bragged about killing children. I said, and I quote, "they died under horrible conditions." Go back and read what I wrote carefully. I didn't say anything about the things you are so ardently protesting and castigating. You are a moron who has the reading comprehension of a third-grader, and your constant fake outrage and attacks on straw-men are beyond tiring and boring.

As far as giving Trump credit, I can give him as much credit as he gave Obama for getting OBL in 2012:

Stop congratulating Obama for killing Bin Laden. The Navy Seal killed Bin Laden.
Donald J. Trump

As usual, Trump went off the rails while taking questions from the press. The announcement was bad enough, but then he had to go rogue, and that never ends well. Trump managed to completely screw up what should have been a somber speech about a highly successful intelligence operation and instead turned it into a global laughingstock. If he had just read a simple statement of the facts, give credit where due, and stayed away from bragging and self-aggrandizement, he would have blown us all away. Instead, we got typical deranged and dumb Donald.

He's going to need it after Alex Vindman testifies. I wonder if Trump will call him "human scum?"

How much longer will the GOP be able to ignore the mounting pile of evidence? Not only is the evidence growing more substantial, but the sources are also beyond reproach.

It is funny and amazingly depressing at the same time. How anyone could watch that disgusting display of arrogant nationalist chest-beating and think it was somehow American or Presidential is beyond me.

So, the man has no respect for the office himself, but those two idiots say all those fans should all respect the office of the president? Have they ever been to a professional sports game? Fans boo everyone, especially politicians. Donny acted like he killed Baghdadi and thought after that wonderful speech he gave Sunday morning the fans would shower him with praise and adoration? What a moron.

Trump is not the first President to be booed. He's not even the first President to be booed at a baseball game. Plus, given that in DC, Trump only got like 4% of the vote, expecting any other reaction is unrealistic. Trump got as much respect as he has, in turn, given.
