So do you believe that the Democrats and "the Left" should be destroyed first? Do you believe the Republicans should do anything and everything to gain and maintain power, even use methods that are contrary to ordinary small-d democratic norms? Added by edit: Having just reread this post, I feel I should add a clarification: I'm not trying to put words into your mouth. I'm curious about how dangerous you think the Left is and what extraordinary measures you think the Republicans are justified taking. Edited by Chiroptera, : No reason given.

I think the **** is extremely dangerous but I don't trust the Republicans either. A lot of them don't have much of a clue about what's really going on. I'm not calling for any drastic measures, I just write what I write hoping against hope it might wake some people up. I do wish that the moderates among the Democrats might wake up to what's going on in their prrty and use normal legal means to put the brakes on. Otherwise I would hope the ***** would come out above the Fake News somehow but that's a tall order when it's clear that the **** has a deathgrip on the media, or it's the ******* media that have the death grip on the *****, not clear sometimes. But no I'm not calling for drastic measures. Actually if the **** does pull off the coup they've been working at since Trump took office, but really before that back a few decades, the consequences for the country will be so horrendous even people **** you might wake up, or there might be a civil war. Or maybe not. Maybe we'll just go down with Venezuela and never rise again.

Have you eve3r considered addressing the issues rather than posting meaningless drivel?
Of course not. If you ever came in contact with reality you could be seriously injured.

The Democrats are using normal legal means to oppose Trump.

Did you mean to say, "The Burisma investigation was closed..." under prosecutor Shokin's watch? There was also an investigation into the oligarch founder of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, that stalled under Shokin. These were just a couple factors that led the U.S. and the EU to pressure the Ukraine to remove Shokin. The precipitating event seems to have been Shokin's refusal to provide necessary documentation about a Ukrainian money laundering case in the UK. For lack of evidence the UK was eventually forced to free up the sequestered funds. --Percy

The US has been providing substantial aid to Ukraine since the Russian seizure of Crimea. What changed under Trump was the decision to give them guns - the Obama administration thought it would be too provocative to Russia and would escalate the conflict further to provide Ukraine with weaponry. That didn't mean they gave nothing - Trump dismissed the aid provided under Obama as 'blankets', but it included (for examples) radar systems used to detect incoming enemy fire. Trump did not decide to give more aid, he simply decided that that money Congress had already voted to provide under Obama could also be used to buy missiles.

Complain to the GOP -- they set up the rules for House Hearings. Judge Napolitano: As frustrating as it is, Schiff is following the rules
Because he could swear under oath about what he did. Because he could prove his innocence ... if he is innocent ... Hillary testified under oath for the Bengazi hearing conducted on the same rules by the GOP.
... he is guilty becomes. He had means, motive and opportunity. It is entirely within his standard bullying behavior.
And yet everything the whistleblower said has been corroborated by the non-partisan staff that had to deal with the issue. Fox News legal analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano says evidence for impeachment is "overwhelming" ![]()
Curiously I followed the whole thing live, not bits and pieces filtered by some biased source or another. The people saying this were Jordan and Nunes. These claims have not been verified. Again, though, it does not matter who the whistleblower is because the issues raised have been verified -- what he said is/was true.
The aid package in question was delayed by Trump Stalled Ukraine military aid concerned members of Congress for months The president of Ukraine scheduled an interview/appearance on CNN The whistleblower complaint was made public The House announces an investigation Two days later the aid was delivered Then the CNN interview/appearance was cancelled Trump got caught and delivered the aid so it would not be evidence of quid pro quo ... ... but it remains a fact that that is what he tried to do. and that remains a felony. We also now see that he has done similar extortion on South Korea ... Trump's Extortion Doctrine | The American Conservative It's like he thinks this is how diplomacy is done
You can't handle the truth. Enjoy by our ability to understand Rebel•American•Zen•Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share. Join the effort to solve medical problems, AIDS/HIV, Cancer and more with Team EvC! (click)

Boy, ain't that the truth!
Fair enough. I'm still kind of curious, though, what you think about - just to pick one example that has been discussed on this board - North Carolina Republicans' attempt to extreme gerrymand their election districts. Do you think it's perfectly acceptable behavior for any majority party? Do you think it violates basic democratic norms but is necessary to combat evil Leftists? Do you think that it's inexcusably poor behavior for anyone to do regardless of reason? Or do you have another take altogether?
What coup? Surely not the impeachment? Even if the Senate were to remove Trump from office, Pence would be President, not some Leftist. For this generation of far-right nationalists, religion is not a question of ethical conduct; it is purely about identity and peoplehood. -- Jan-Werner Müller

But which are capable of utterly destroying the Russian tanks from those locations. I have this from a marine who was deployed at the front. Thus they are a deterrent from Russia using those tanks to attack the Ukranian army. They can't escalate the conflict, but they can deter it.

Javelins have a range of 2500 meters, not hundreds of miles.
They could be deployed fairly quickly, and they are an anti-tank deterrent. Somewhere I read that the Russians haven't used tanks in Ukraine since 2015 but I can't find it or confirm it.
