This is about loyalty to the U.S.A.? Or is about loyalty to the Republican Party ?

You can't have both..This is obvious to all. You have a trial, you have witnesses, all necessary witnesses. ALL.. A fair trial has all witnesses. The Republican Party cares only about itself, not the U.S.A. This is simple and this is clear to everyone who cares about the U.S.A. The Republican Party cares only about itself.

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."

10:45 AM: Trump lashes out at Schiff, calls him 'mentally deranged.'

Source: Washington Post.

Trump lashed out at Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), the lead impeachment manager, writing on Twitter on Thursday that his congressional district is "in terrible shape."

"He is a corrupt pol who only dreams of the Impeachment Hoax," Trump said. "In my opinion he is mentally deranged!"

In his tweet, Trump referenced a Fox News interview earlier Thursday with Drew Pinsky, an addiction medicine specialist and media personality who had previously said he was considering running against Schiff because of homelessness in his district.

During Thursday's interview, Pinsky, known as "Dr. Drew," said he is "categorically not running" for Schiff's seat.

__...important....You must look further down in article to find headline...find 10:45AM in headline, and these four sentences are way down in the article.....:

...Trump says " ....he is mentally deranged" (in reference to Schiff) ....Trump said that today on twitter at 10:45AM ET...No I cannot make this up. How does one categorize this? Hard to believe, but this show is really unbelievable!!!

Trump Lashes Out At Bolton In Wake Of Bombshell Manuscript: 'Nasty & Untrue Book'

Talking Points Memo...

WOW!!! Trump couldn't say anything stupider. Here is a fellow that puts down the parents of someone who died fighting for our country, and could be the most uninformed person who has ever held this current position, and it is obvious that he does not want to be informed.

A person in a very high and important position that is important to his or her country, that does not want to be informed... is actually quite stupid as well as self centered.

Was it nasty to put down the parents? Kind of obvious, isn't it?

A simple perspective on Trump Impeachment vs Clinton Impeachment

...Clinton's impeachment basically was lying about sex. I think it is that simple. Yes, Clinton lied, and it was a big deal then, and the Republicans went after Bill Clinton in every possible way.
...Trump's impeachment is different. Trump tried to get information from a foreign government in order to win an election on a potential opponent...........................................
.. Trump lies about everything but this is the worst. Saying "Nothing is wrong" is like saying the world is flat. Just as important, who is saying the "world is flat?" The exact same fellow who said that the largest object in the "entire universe is the moon." "Look how big it is in the sky." That is Mr. Donald Trump who is the "Worst liar in the world"..................
... Those who protect the "world is flat" fellow, are just as bad. That is because the protectors of "the world is flat" fellow, know for sure that the world is not flat, but the world is round." Some of the protectors have actually been around the round world. The protectors are lying to protect the worst liar in the world...
...Yes, Bill Clinton lied. To me, it was like mother asking her son, "Where did you get that cookie?" And the son replies..."I went to the store, and bought the cookie"....When it was obvious that there is one less cookie in the cookie jar, because mother keeps track of the cookies. (and it was the same kind of cookie in the cookie jar)
....Donald Trumps lies are like the the fellow holding a bag of cash, marked "First Bank of New York."
...The officer asks, " Where did you get the cash? (after a hold up)..The fellow says," I just withdrew the cash from the bank, and they put it in the bag to protect it from the rain." And it is one of the brightest sun filled days of the year. Further, the man has a gun in his back pocket that is sticking out. The exact same gun that was used in the hold up. That is it. A hold up of a bank, vs a stolen cookie.
... And the protectors of the hold up fellow are just as guilty because they know the guy is a crook, and is a hold up specialist, that has held up a few banks in the past and recently got out of prison for his last hold up.. The protectors are lying for the crook, and lying for the crook (as they eventually do) is also against the law.

An idea to keep from losing things around the house. Put "it" where you can see "it"

...I misplaced a 3 pound weight that I use to exercise my arms. I didn't have to look far because it was sitting on top of some books in a corner. I knew it was around.."somewhere."
...Now that 3 pound weight is in a place where I can see it. As I put the weight on top of a table, in plain sight, I said to myself, the "weight is there to see".
...If the item is important, and needs to be used often, then put it somewhere you can see "it". Not in some drawer or neat place with other stuff. (yes, I collect lots of"stuff." ) But, in a place where you can "see it" Now, I have searched around for lots of important things many times. Wondering where did I put that?..But, when the "thing" is out in plain sight, the search is kept to a minimum. (Yes, I have spent hours searching for things)'..

...How many things do you need to keep in plain sight? That is up to you. Maybe a table top for such "things" so you know where they are. But putting things in "plain sight." can save you lots of ..."time." About that word: "time." It may indeed be the most valuable thing we have. Perhaps this idea might help save some "time." Best wishes for today. Hope things are OK.....Stuart....

Trump has lived most of his life, with others taking the fall for him. This time is different.

...Trump does not realize the pain of losing a big one. Others have dealt with the pain for him, and have taken the fall. So, Trump gets help from here or there. Trump gets help from the Russians or the TV network or someone else. He puts someone down, feels no remorse and shows none.
...Nixon knew what it meant to lose the truly important ones. He had been through it often. When it came time, he knew he had to resign.
...Trump has not taken the big fall, and it is coming. People have insured that Trump won't feel the pain. But this time, it is totally different. No one there to take the fall but Donald Trump. He is the one who did what he did. He can lie, and say it was OK, but it won't work. Most know it was not OK, and that what he did, and ordered done, was illegal. No cover up this time.
...What "the fall" will be is to be determined. No one knows. But it is coming and it is real. As more comes out, and people need to protect themselves and not Trump, much will be learned. This is the biggest show Trump has ever been in, and he is going to lose, if he hasn't lost already.

The Republican Party is the party of, "..the earth is flat, not round."

..The 14th and 15 century church argued that the earth was the center of the universe. Scientists said ..No.."the earth is not the center, there is much more" Many more out there. But the church said NO, the earth is the center as it is the location of God and the Savior..

...And the Republican Party is the same. Trump is not lying it is others who lie. Defending Trump, is exactly the same as ..."saying the earth is flat."

It just got *a lot* harder for Republicans to vote against witnesses in the impeachment trial

Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

(CNN) — The news, first reported by The New York Times Sunday night, that President Donald Trump had told national security adviser John Bolton directly to continue to withhold approved military aid to Ukraine until that country agreed to announce investigations into Democrats, and specifically former Vice President Joe Biden, is an absolute bombshell with the very real possibility of fundamentally altering the calculus for Republican senators in the ongoing impeachment trial.

The accusation is made in a draft manuscript of Bolton's time in the Trump White House and, for the first time, would provide -- if confirmed -- direct evidence that Trump not only personally ordered the hold but did so to target the leading Democratic candidate against him in 2020. Bolton's claim -- again, if confirmed -- would be a smoking gun for Trump's use of his office for personal and political gain. Period.

Which brings us to the debate within the Senate over whether any witnesses will be allowed to testify in the trial of Trump and, if so, who. Prior to the Bolton news on Sunday, GOP sentiment seemed to be leaning away from allowing witnesses, with Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a key swing vote, offering criticism of the manner and style used by the House Democratic impeachment managers to make their case.

While official Washington is still processing the Bolton news, it's hard to see both the accusation and the initial reaction to it not altering that voting calculus for Republicans.Here's why: There now exists a credible claim made by a longtime figure in Republican politics and the conservative movement that, if proven out, directly implicates the President of the United States in a quid pro quo. This isn't Lev Parnas, a somewhat shady Ukrainian businessman under criminal indictment, Which brings us to the debate within the Senate over whether any witnesses will be allowed to testify in the trial of Trump and, if so, who.

It's a hell of a lot harder to dismiss someone with the resume of Bolton.

"I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens," Trump tweeted early Monday. "In fact, he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book."
