I think I have said that I don't think he will be impeached.  I was merely stating that this is not the way things are normally done.  Sitting here in the cheap seats, I think I would have been rolling my eyes about this whole thing.  The good news is that Ukraine still got their money, it didn't expire.  I don't fault those that testified that they were alarmed.  It's a marked change from the way we normally conduct our relationship with other countries.  I can think of a few situations when diviating from the norm, didn't end well for us.  You know what else bothers me?  This nagging thought that Trump got the idea from Putin.  Putin would love nothing more than to see Ukraine collapse.  Without US aid, that will surely happen.  So did Trump figure he could lean on the new President and use him?  If this hadn't come to light when it did, would the security assistance continue to be withheld and potetially lost?  Maybe Ukraine was not the object of the quid pro quo, but maybe the quid pro quo was with Russia/Putin?

You know, Trump is a very self confident guy - a stable genius, by his own words.  So in my mind, he should think he had no competition - so why is he looking for dirt on Biden?  Without knowing what was in Trump's head, who really knows what he thinks?  In my mind, I don't think we should be inviting foreign governments to get dirt on our citizens - it wasn't right what Clinton did with the dossier and it isn't right for Trump to be trying to dig up dirt on Biden.  I don't think that what happened wth Biden's son was right, but it wasn't illegal.  Biden bragging about his actions was wrong - but I think the bigger punishment will be when Biden is not the next President.  He doesn't have a good track record as a Senator, he was Obama's lap dog, and nothing that I see leads me to conclude that he's the savior of the Democratic party.  

I don't have TDS.  But I'm willing to call a spade, a spade.
