What the guy in the WH did still leaves me speechless. You DON'T do that to an ally.

On top of everything happening, a newly elected government had to deal with anus tangerius, a con.

1) Trump's fortune (big or small, still need his 1040s) was saved by the Russian mafia.

2) Russia wants to take over Ukraine.

3) Ukraine is a U.S. ally.

4) Russia is Trump's ally.

I hate to say it after the McCarthy debacle, but we need a new Committee on Un-American Activities to discipline the GOP (Government Of Putin). Impeachment and censure is not enough. I want to see serious prison time--the kind of punishment they reserve for non-whites.

the need for it.

Of course Republicans will, in a grand display of hypocrisy, call it a McCarthyist witch hunt. And we risk alienating the general public with investigation weariness.

But I do not know of any other way to clean out the criminal traitors.

get a once great country on board to fight climate change. Then we will drain Trump's swamp and tell Russia to go to hell.

I would love to see MC Schiff (Member of Congress=I don't connect Rep. with Democratic politicians, subliminally confusing to voters) call Pres. Zalensky to testify in the Impeachment of proceedings.

I've written several letters to influential Dem. Congress-people, asking them to begin requesting when they are on TV to have their titles NOT displayed as Rep. X, because it implies they are Republicans.
Instead, they should use another label, like MC X (Member of Congress) or Cong. X.

I prefer MC because it is gender neutral.

Have they acknowledged receipt of my letters? no. So much for even our own Dem. representatives trying to keep in touch with us little people.
