(5,812 posts)Yes, the blue dress was grounds for impeachment to those who wallow in "moral outrage"...but extorting the Prez of the Ukraine for dirt on a possible opponent is just is no big deal, just politics.
Yes, politics with many if not most of the Repukes is for personal gain. Look at the Duncan Hunter case -- this crook is under criminal indictment and the rich Repubs of his very wealthy district are just fine with that conduct. Hello?????
Think back to the 1970s...so many things are taken for granted today as "just politics" that were to me shocking at the time. Today, I do believe that Trump was correct about one thing: He could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and nothing would happen. Well, maybe Ukraine-gate is a beginning of some realization by the Trumpistas. However, for any of them to turn on his criminal conduct and go against him, I will only believe it when I see it, hear it, read it and watch it being engraved on the Washington Monument.
