I'm still waiting for explanations on this whole Russian nonsense.no I think Schiff is a partisan turd and nothing that he does excuses anything Trump does. In fact if Schiffs antics bother you then Trumps should bother you as well. He is our POTUS and exponentially worse.I don’t mind fighting back as long as it’s an honest fight. Trump does not do that. He responds to critiques with red herrings, lies, distractions and unfounded accusations. That is not respectable.His "tactic" is to fight back when attacked. The main stream media doesn't like it because Trump won't allow them to drive the narrative. Trump takes his case directly to the people through social media...something that hasn't been done before.
Be honest, Slade. Can you look at me with a straight face and claim that there hasn't been a witch hunt when it comes to Trump? It's been a political "jihad" ever since Trump shocked the main stream media by winning the election over someone that they PROMISED couldn't possibly win! CNN's coverage? It's appallingly slanted. They don't even attempt to provide unbiased news at this point. The same goes for The New York Times...the Washington Post, Time, MSNBC or PBS.
What you have is a series of investigations searching desperately for an impeachable crime that's been committed by Trump...each of which has come up empty. They have to believe Trump is guilty of an impeachable crime because they don't want to admit that they don't control the way people think in this country anymore and it's driving them insane!
I can say with a straight face that Trump has definitely been the victim of a witch hunt from the media and his political opponents. Much of it is self inflicted as he wages war and continues his lying spree. He was NOT however a victim of a witch hunt from our institutions which he has been clearly discrediting to hedge a narrative in case something ever stuck. Those attacks on our intel agencies is inexcusable and is causing lasting damage to our country.
You think Adam Schiff is waging an "honest fight" against Trump, Slade? With all due respect...Mr. Schiff has been willing to do just about anything to find something to impeach Trump with. He's got a history of being less than honest...some would say...of being an outright liar.
If this really WAS an honest fight...wouldn't Republicans be allowed to call their own witnesses to testify? It hasn't been an honest fight so far...it's been a fixed fight. That will change if the House votes to impeach and it goes to trial in the Senate. My personal opinion is that Nancy Pelosi doesn't want that to happen because she KNOWS how badly it will go for Democrats and she's terrified that will lead to a backlash against the left at the polls!
these “whataboutisms” get old and are ineffective
So why are you on the left investigating Trump with someone who's such an obvious "partisan turd"? Not for nothing, Slade but Schiff taints everything that committee is doing.
I could care less about Trump's "antics"! I'm sorry but I don't care if he's your prototypical, loud, boastful, over the top New Yorker! What I care about is what he DOES! I like what he's done with the economy. I'm in favor of a strong border. I thought the Paris Accord was one of the worst things ever signed by a US President and I'm glad Trump backed out of it. I like that he doesn't want us involved in ground wars in the Middle East unless it's absolutely crucial. I like that he backs Israel against it's terrorist neighbors. I think he's done an admirable job selecting Supreme Court judges. I think he's been masterful at using tariffs to get the US better trade deals.
So what member of the group running for President from the Democratic side is going to make me happy with her or his policies, Slade? To be blunt I haven't seen one that even comes close.
Schiff flat out lied about having proof Trump colluded with Russia. That is the explanation. Having HIM run the House investigation in an alleged search for the truth borders on farce.
