This conversation should move to the impeachment thread, but here goes:
Impeach him on a REAL charge, not some wafer thin, hearsay about "quid pro quo". Mueller investigation didn't work out, so plan B went into effect.
The Impeachment trial will be a joke, as most on both sides have made up their minds. Adam Schiffs' impeachment proceedings were comically one sided.
Your charges Thomas could be addressed and debated one by one, well, maybe not his lies...but what politician isn't guilty of that?
He's been ridiculed from the day he announced he was running. I saw this trend begin with President Bush W- media sources didn't give him the respect of the office, comedians and Hollywood jumped in, and it snowballed from there. Enter Trump, perfect for the same treatment x1000.
Additional point: He ran for election, he won. Period. When you win, the losing side is supposed to accept it. Instead, it's the "Russians", etc etc, the "opposition" began among Democrats and all the rest. Targeting the guy because he wasn't supposed to win but did, is not what I'd call "the American way". It's the Ideal of Democracy here that's been turned sidewise.
How much real meaningful work has the Senate and Congress ignored- issues they were elected to address, instead time and millions being spent to "get" the President?
Finally: I don't know how elections are run in your country Thomas, I don't live there so I don't really care. You asked my point in all of this, now you have it.
