    Default Which of these is an abuse of power?

    Since Democrats are suddenly so offended by imaginary "abuses of power" and parroting the same hilariously pot-kettle "no one is above the law" mantra (WHO mindlessly regurgitates media propaganda like cult followers?), let's review what ACTUAL abuses of power look like...

    I'm assuming you're referring to the non-controversy of Trump asking about investigating Biden's already proven corruption as required by law?

    Yes.

    It was the only one on the list, before you edited your post, that isn't abuse of power.

    Yes, sorry, I was still putting on the final touches when you responded. Really highlights the absurd, disgusting hypocrisy of this whole impeachment show trial, doesn't it? Crucify conservatives for jay-walking while glossing over non-stop oath-breaking Democrat assaults on the Constitution.

    No problem. As long as there is understanding between those that matter, what the left thinks is irrelevant.

    "No one is above the law."

    Say the most corrupt, lawless, Constitution-shredding tyrants ever to disgrace the republic with their oath-breaking presence.

    Yes, all six of her viewers. Democrats represent only the lunatic fringe. Most of the country is right-of-center and opposes their unhinged agenda.

    I am a believer that right is right and wrong is wrong.

    This will all work it self out at the polls next November, there is every indication that republicans will take back the house should the red district members make the mistake of voting "I" on impeachment,
    and there is a better than 90% chance Trump wins re-election
    This just In::: Trump indicted for living in liberals heads and not paying RENT

    C̶N̶N̶ SNN.... Shithole News Network

    Trump Is Coming back to a White House Near you
