Bloomberg says 21 students shot every day under Trump

Posted By Mel Maki

How could he be so unaware of what is happening? I'm assuming he believes it.

Joe said he told his son, "You better know what you are doing." Hunter replied, "I do."

Yeah, it's the same "fact" check that says there was nothing wrong with Clinton's uranium deal! And it was just a coincidence that millions of dollars went to her foundation! People give money at the strangest times!

A lot has been written explaining why, "If you have nothing to hide..." is not the start of good legal advice.

Rod, most people would look at your link, shrug their shoulders and say, "This is one of the reasons why they want to impeach the president? Huh?"

Yep, the fact checks looked hard and they can't find anything wrong with Hunter getting a job.

The House has been trying to connect the dots. They didn't. At all.

I was trying to say your link doesn't contain anything that seems impeachable. The average person would shrug their shoulders after reading your link. It seems strictly political. Eighty-some percent of Dems say yes and eighty-some percent of the Reps say no. They are devaluing impeachment if the same amount in each party agree or disagree. If he really did something impeachable there would be support in both parties.

One other thing that is interesting to note is that all of the Republican whinings about lack of process and not being able to call witnesses in the House investigations is translating into significant public support for witnesses in the Senate trial. If the GOP wanted to exonerate Trump, they would put Bolton, Eisenberg, Mulvaney, and others under oath. But they won't, because the truth is they have no exculpatory defense and their only choice is to deflect, and obfuscate and whine.
Few people are wrapped up in the differences over witnesses.  A person that isn't involved in politics everyday needs to know in a sentence or two why he should be impeached. The Dems can't do it.

Your first sentence is the Dem version of events. About half of the voters don't see it that way. The House had their chance to convince everybody. They failed.
