At what point should the Democrats openly solicit the aid of foreign governments?

[Girard442]

Or are we going to, yet again, show up to a knife fight carrying a checkerboard?

[htuttle]

1. Well. we're not going to do that

[at140]

2. China!

China economy is 10 times bigger than Russia. And China hates the squeeze placed on them by Trumpy.
If we get China on our side by promising eliminating all tariffs, Putin is screwed (along with Trump).

[marble falls]

6. Its not about Putin or Trump. Its about rule of law and preserving our system.

[at140]

15. If they bring guns we can't bring butter knives

to the fight. Fight fire with fire. Otherwise lose every fight.

[marble falls]

16. I know what you mean, the shoot out and gang fight over Nixon's impeachment was a bloodbath.

[at140]

17. That was different era...almost half century ago

The country has changed a lot since then.

[marble falls]

19. Speaking as someone who's been here for almost 3/4's of a century. Things are ...

demonstrably better now than then. The process is working.

[at140]

21. On that we can agree 100%

and I have been on this planet longer than 3/4 of a century, and a full century is looking entirely possible.
Nearing 80 candles, I need zero medications, no pains or aches anywhere in my body, and can break my age at the golf course where par is 70 for 18 holes. Playing 4 rounds every week has changed my body from border line diabetic, high blood pressure, hip joint pain, chest pains after heavy meals, to none of the above! Medicare thanks me since I have zero medical bills now.

31. I hear you ....

And while I'm certainly not advocating that Dems don't do the same un-American things tRumputinthuglicans are doing in trying to install a foreign government But make NO mistake about it, these courts are being packed with YOUNG, crazy, racist, right-winged, un-American lunatics whose hideous imprint WILL be felt because their 'insane' rulings will have a chilling and lasting effect on how we USED to know life here in this country. No doubt about it.

Being part Native-American, and having had my grandfather have his land STOLEN from him by the male, white US Government a little over 100 years ago, It does make me wonder just what we'd do if tRumputin gets away with STEALING another term so he and his tRumputinthuglicans can finish converting this country into ru$$ia, because he was successful at stealing another General Election. Hell, we STILL have Native Americans who can't vote in a country where their sovereign rights were stolen away from them 🤔

We live in some dark, nasty and extremely SCARY times.

29. If Trump is acquitted in the Senate, the Rule of Law will be the Word of Barr.

[marble falls]

33. No it won't. We have Congress and that "trumps" Barr.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. How about never?

It’s called being principled. Try it.

[marble falls]

4. Are you recommend treason to beat traitors? You'd want Democrats compromised, too ....

The ends really do justify the means?

That's one really bad idea you're floating.

Or is it like the little boy caught masturbating and when told it will make him blind, asks if he could continue till he needs glasses?


We're using the process and its working. Even Fox's polls show a majority want him impeached.

[dware]

7. Thank you for saying this.

It boggles the mind that a Democrat would post this nonsense on a Liberal board and thinking it would be taken seriously.

[marble falls]

12. Every once in a while one of us gets a bit off the path, we're all here to nudge him back, glad ...

you're here to help.

[jberryhill]

5. Ha. No.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Never

Cheating to win is not "the way".

[myohmy2]

9. day after...

...trump is acquitted...

...it'll be the new way to influence and fund campaigns and elections...

...if the pukes change the rules, we must adhere to those new rules...

...discreetly, of course...

[marble falls]

11. And thats the best case scenario,

[el_bryanto]

10. That's a bad idea on both a moral and a tactical level.

Or to be more clear - I oppose that because it's wrong, but also because it's stupid.

Bryant

[sarisataka]

13. Right after engaging in

Vote fraud and intimidation of voters.

We don't want principles, standards or ethics putting us at a disadvantage.

[MineralMan]

14. At no point.

For goodness' sake, that's what we're impeaching Trump for doing.

[StarfishSaver]

18. Never

Because we don't do that.

It's one of the things that makes us not them.

[mcar]

20. Are you seriously criticizing Democrats

for not violating the Constitution? Or is this just an excuse to criticize Democrats?

[Wounded Bear]

22. If you want to act like a lawless Repub, perhaps you should become one...

[nolabear]

23. Now and then a post makes me think I should leave DU.

Fortunately most of the replies are still American.

[backtoblue]

24. Never

[NCjack]

25. If another country's intelligence service wants to burn MFer-#45 and Co., it can

do it in the usual and customary manner: send evidence to reporters at our major newspapers. Let's keep the DEM party out of that.

[Atticus]

26. Jesus H. Christ on a soda cracker! Tell me this is just a sick joke! nt

[Firestorm49]

27. NEVER. This is our country.

[handmade34]

28. no

[Baked Potato]

30. Never!

We need majorities!
