    unfortunately for you, you've not been able to show any real evidence of that beyond Schiff's parodies and Nancy's dancing.......

    I believe Dr Hill. I believe our intelligence services.

    I do not believe President Trump.

    And are you suggesting that Military aide should be politically conditioned on who some people in Ukraine favored in the election?

    There is no justification for Trump taking out personal revenge on a nation which is clearly in the United States best interest to support.

    The President is supposed to leave personal politics behind and do his job for the United States.

    He is not supposed to let his political ambitions dictate his handling of foreign policy.

    where do you get that from my post??
    I posted to show that Ukraine DID MEDDLE in the 2016 election, unlike the crap Schiff is trying to sell they didn't

    And some of it was at the behest of Hillary - and almost of it pro-Hillary.

    PS nothing is "clear"about Ukraine
    i doubt you understand the Russian separatists (Donbass) are not Russian troops or i'd explain

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    OPINIONS

    How aiding the Ukrainian military could push Putin into a regional war


    By Fiona Hill and
    Clifford Gaddy
    February 5, 2015

    Fiona Hill is the director of the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution. Clifford Gaddy is a senior fellow in the center. They are co-authors of the book “Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin.”

    The United States is on a dangerous trajectory in its relations with Russia, a nuclear superpower that believes itself to be under direct threat. Several former U.S. officials and top think-tank experts released a report calling on the West to provide military support to Ukraine. (Two of them, our colleagues at the Brookings Institution, expanded on the report a week ago on this page [“Ukraine needs the West’s help now”].) The logic of sending weapons to Ukraine seems straightforward and is the same as the logic for economic sanctions: to change Vladi*mir Putin’s “calculus.” Increasing the Ukrainian army’s fighting capacity, the thinking goes, would allow it to kill more rebels and Russian soldiers, generating a backlash in Russia and ultimately forcing the Russian president to the negotiating table.

    We strongly disagree. The evidence points in a different direction. If we follow the recommendations of this report, the Ukrainians won’t be the only ones caught in an escalating military conflict with Russia.

    Ultimately, it becomes political. We don't want a situation where a party can remove a President simply because they disagree with the previous election. It needs to be a high bar.

    I understand it is appalling everything Trump has gotten away with, and it appears he will get away with this too, but elections do have consequences. If American people don't like what is going on I would strongly suggest they get registered and vote in 2020. And I would implore them to become as well-informed as possible.

    Not agree with him? Are you joking? Trump is a traitor under the influence of an adversarial vengeful self-serving dictator. OMG! Trump is in this for himself. Not agree with him? Jeez!
    BLUEXIT
    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    And they should be. And so should Limbaugh Hannity and whoever has editorial control at Fox. But I hope that it can be done without undue attention paid to that, so
    we the people can govern with respect dignity statesmanship and above all TRUTH. All depends upon truth being told and not having a fake media that does not pretend
    everything is just a matter of opinion floating in the ether so they can just assert whatever the fuck they want if they have a vendetta, or a pecuniary order to fill, or
    just are subversive racists.

    Right. They favored Hillary, so Trump has used his official powers to take out personal revenge on them.
