Just a few weeks ago it seemed that Trump would skate on charges both of colluding with Russia to subvert the 2016 election and of obstruction of justice; the Mueller report was basically a bust, partly because the story was complicated, partly because of Robert Mueller’s diffidence.
But Trump has managed to make things clear. First he demanded that foreign regimes produce dirt on domestic political rivals, not just in phone calls but right there on camera. Now he’s engaged in a crude, obvious effort to stonewall the House impeachment inquiry that is clearly an impeachable offense in itself.
Why did he hand the Democrats so much ammunition? Partly he seems to have gotten high on his own supply — he actually seems to believe the bizarre conspiracy theories his supporters drum up to excuse his actions. Also, he lacks self-restraint. Even if he considers any effort to hold him accountable a form of treason, he should have known better than to blurt it out in public.
If Trump were cannier and more self-controlled, he would be unstoppable. He has the backing of a party whose elected representatives have shown no sign of scruples. He has de facto state media in the form of Fox News and the rest of the Murdoch empire. He has already managed to corrupt key government agencies, including the Justice Department.
Indeed, these advantages are so large that he may yet prevail. The only reason he could falter is Trump’s own deficiencies.
It says a lot about the modern G.O.P. that the party is still solidly behind a man so obviously, grotesquely, not up to the job. I am grateful that Trump is immature and incompetent. His character flaws may bring him down, but Republicans will learn from that. Next time they will find a Trump clone minus the obvious problems with dishonesty and mental instability.

I want everybody to read this article and see how gross the ANON is. Too many instances to even bother re-posting here when the article is just full of ANON.
Also, I wonder after reading about it if I was wrong about Bolton being a the next "good guy" to the Lefties. It sure seems that articles like this could be leading up to this if they persist.

Trump has defended his abandonment of our Kurdish allies in Syria, declaring that “I was elected on getting out of these ridiculous endless wars” that have left America “bogged down, watching over a quagmire.” Listening to the president, Americans might think that we still have large numbers of U.S. troops fighting on fronts across the Middle East. We do not.
The days when we deployed hundreds of thousands of troops in the Middle East are long gone. Today, we have 14,000 troops in Afghanistan, about 5,000 in Iraq and just 1,000 in Syria. That is a grand total of about 20,000 troops in all three countries. By contrast, we have about 37,950 U.S. troops in Germany, 12,750 in Italy, 53,900 in Japan, and 28,500 in South Korea — a total of over 133,000. In fact, we now have three times more troops deployed in Spain (3,200) than we do in Syria.
Trump gave Turkey permission to wipe out the Kurds during a phone call on Sunday. If we allow Turkey to wipe out our Kurdish allies, who will be left on the ground in Syria to fight the Islamic State? Answer: No one. Since Trump has reduced the U.S. military presence in Syria to just 1,000 troops, that means we are depending on the Kurds to keep the Islamic State down. We are also depending on the Kurds to guard about 10,000 captured Islamic State fighters held in prisons in Syria — including 2,000 extremely dangerous foreign fighters.
The cry that America is fighting “endless wars” is a canard. Our force levels in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are a shadow of their former selves, and U.S. forces are not doing the fighting but rather arming and training allies who are doing the fighting for us. But after watching Trump abandon our allies in Syria to be slaughtered, why would anyone step forward to help America in the fight against Islamist radicalism? The president can’t have it both ways. If you don’t want American forces fighting “endless wars,” then you can’t betray your allies doing the fighting.

SLOPPY is a deranged idiot.
With one phone call, and given 3 days, Trump's go ahead to Turkey was followed by a war between Turkey and the Kurds in Syria. History has spoken and it said Trump's strategy is idiotic.
To keep a new war from starting, Trump only had to NOT give the President of Turkey what he wanted from Trump in that phone call. We will never know if Trump felt that Trump Towers Istanbul would go bankrupt if Trump did not give Turkey's President what he asked for -- which was to move American troops out of the way of Turkish troops so that the invasion of Syria could begin this week. That is exactly the kind of thing that would get him impeached.
Obviously, if Trump had done what he said he was going to do while campaigning, he would not own Trump Towers Istanbul today and he would not have to weigh which is more important to himself: making Trump money in Istanbul or starting a new war.

I am sure Trump is aware he could have lost a hotel this week if he did not cooperate with Turkey's War on Kurds. What is more important to Trump? A few thousand dead Kurd women and children? Or Trump's hotel in Istanbul? I think we know it is the hotel. I think he should be impeached for that, even though he will deny he let a war start because he loves money.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump tweeted:
What a disgraceful legal system for this guy to still be around after all of these years.

If the system was not disgraceful, Trump would not "still be around after all of these years."
