Nor any intellectual discourse from the other side. 

And this really cuts to the core of the whole dichotomy. Those two questions are the overlay of whether or not you are a patriotic American. There are many, MANY grey areas that are worthy of debate, but these are not. If you will support a man (who has been proven to be a liar, an adulterer, a cheat, a racist, a homophobe) calling a foreign country to get them involved in a U.S. election, then you are no patriot. It's just that simple.

Thanks! It's nice when people actually respond to questions with relevant answers.

 

Interesting poll and information. It shows there is fatigue and that people are both tired of the partisan bickering and perceive that this is more of a political/media circus rather than anything that affects their daily lives. 

On the other hand, it also shows that these things change quite quickly as the difference was in polls between October and early November and mid-November. It remains to be seen if they're able to recapture interest and whether public perception changes again.

What crime did Trump commit? To impeach, there needs to be a "High Crime" or "Misdemeanor." Can you articulate a crime committed?

There have been a few posters who have articulated the crimes quite eloquently. I'd refer you to those.

Link: Fox News Legal Analyst: I 'Certainly Would' Vote To Impeach Donald Trump

 

"Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano on Wednesday said if he were in Congress, he would “certainly” vote to impeach President Donald Trump.

Appearing on “America’s Newsroom,” Napolitano said he believed “the Democrats have credibly argued that [Trump] committed impeachable offenses” in the Ukraine scandal.

“The easiest one, because this existed in Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton, is obstruction of Congress,” he explained. “So, by directing his subordinates to refuse to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas, whether it’s for testimony or for documents, that’s an impeachable offense.”"

Even the repub witness said what trump did was wrong.

Turleys a democrat who voted for Clinton and yes he was requested by the republicans and yes he said it was he thought it wasn't right but he also said it wasn't impeachable. The rest of his time was criticizing the democrats.

You know that moron of an ex judge is wrong more often that right. But if it comes to a vote Trump will be impeached with out one republican vote and he will still be President. This thing is a waist of time and money plus the fact congress has done nothing in two years.

As impeachment is not a criminal process (which the anti trumpers like to say...and I agree), I prefer

not to refer to these charges as crimes.

 

Let us refer to them as grounds for impeachment...

 

And they are very flimsy...once we get Biden and son on the stand everyone will see exactly why Trump saw the 

Ukraine as shockingly corrupt...and was right to want to know what was going on.

[luckyluke]

My view/opinion as outsider(I am Belgian) based on what I read here :

 

For the Mr. Trump followers, Mr. Trump is anyhow innocent for everything he may be accused of, is accused of, everything he may be accused of in the future. 

 

For Mr. Trump opposers everything he did, do, and will do is, no matter what, wrong. 

Except I presume if he would resign. 

 

Of course my opinion, like every opinion stated here, has no real value,

but just an expression of a personal inpression of the events.

I wouldn't put too much stock in biased media (WAPO lol) trying to sow doubt and confusion about a report

that hasn't been released. Just some unconfirmed rumours and hearsay...much like the whole impeachment

You don't think Hunter working for a company he knows nothing about, does not speak the language, for substantial gain because he's the VP's son is worthy of anything?  Daddy then gets the prosecutor fired?  by doing the very same thing he accuses Trump of is worthy of note?  really???  what if Don Jr. was on the board?   you'd be having a fit.

Do ypu want the facts explained to you again or are you happy to ignore them.

 

Ukraine had no investigation running on biden. US, EU, IMF pressures the prosecutor to be fired. 

 

After being fired hunter is investigated. Ukraine says nothing there.

 

Facts are real pesky.

[JHolmesJr]

I wouldn't jump to calling Bidens guilty just yet.

But the facts make them look very very shady and sleazy.

Peddling access, influence. Seems like par for the course in Washington.

 

What is absolutely not shady is asking Ukraine hey, what is going on here?

On this you warp the narrative. Let's be clear - can you answer these two questions:

 

1. Do you acknowledge Trump called the Ukraine president and ask him to say on television that the Ukraine was performing an investigation into Biden corruption? (Trump already admitted this)

 

2. Do you find it acceptable for a U.S. president to request a foreign nation get involved in an American election?

 

Forget the money, forget the lawyer nonsense on either side, forget the "quid pro quo." These two questions get to the core of unpatriotic behavior. Are you OK with this?

It's on to the Senate folks.... and Nadler, who schiff has handed things over to, is, I have to be careful here as the admins are pretty sensititive to adjectives so I will remain polite, ????????, is an even less intelligent being that Schiff. Nadler, sensing the fact that this Ukraine gait hoax is over, is making the disastrous mistake of dragging in the now discredited Russia-Gait hoax argument in which he is actually diluted enough to think he can gin up the Ukraine-hoax and try to make it look stronger before he goes to the Senate. This will be a huge gift to the Republicans. Imagine subpeonas for Hunter Biden, Chulupa, Glenn Simpson, Christopher Steele (the fake Steele Dossier), Bruce ore, Lisa page, Peter Struck, Andrew McCabe, Halper, Etc., Etc., all subject to cross examination... it will be MSM ratings Gold. A real circus side show. The Democrats will get slaughtered at the ballot box, the next vote they are going to get slaughtered if they take this all the way to the Senate.
