I still eat PB&J sandwiches. I must be a racist.
A foreign power is being used to investigate a presidential candidate. Has that ever happened. The answer is no.
In all sincerity, Wildcats1st, you really need to educate yourself on the Ukraine situation. You clearly have a misunderstanding of what's actually happened, and what's currently happening.
As I said earlier, the vast majority of posters in this thread are very informed. To come in here preaching some "sheep" bullshit accusations while spouting off a version of events you picked up on MSNBC just makes you look like a fool.
The Democrats thought Trump would be like every Republican in the past, and just roll over and take their shit as they concocted this fake "whistleblower" "scandal". Instead, he stole the narrative right out from underneath them and released the contents of the actual call, which makes their crafted hearsay completely moot. Rather than admitting their ruse failed, the Democrats are now coming up with more "whistleblowers". I'd prefer political parties not use the federal government to interfere with elections, but the Democrats are so far past abusing the power of the federal government to try and steal elections that we'll never return.
Where is this investigation and how do you know about it? Oh that’s right the president and his attorney told everyone.
Has nothing to do with pay. The pay was always mediocre. It's all the nonsense they have to do thanks to over meddling politicians combined with the fact they have zero ability to control discipline problems.
Remove the administrative bloat. Get rid of the union. Stop pandering to the left. Problem solves itself.
There're clearly differing opinions on the contents of the released "transcript". Some read it and see Trump being Trump, nothing illegal. Some read it and see clear impropriety and an implicit quid pro quo. I realize you don't see it as incriminating, but to much of the country that paraphrased transcript is damning in and of itself, no further information necessary.In all sincerity, Wildcats1st, you really need to educate yourself on the Ukraine situation.

I'll agree w. the administrative bloat. However, you mentioned the pay has always been mediocre. You remove the union from the picture and that won't improve. Most likely, it would do the opposite. Look at how sh!tty some get paid. You remove the union and wages will remain stagnant. You also have to consider other things, besides pay, that unions negotiate for: class sizes, number of preps, number of overall classes they teach, benefits, etc. Without the union, teachers will get hosed on those things. There is a reason teachers leave the education field at a fairly high level.[/QUOT

Just heard about the shooting in Kansas City last night. Opened fire in a crowded bar, 4 dead and 5 more shot. Mexican shooters and hand guns I guess doesn't quite grasp the attention of the masses like other mass shootings.
He actually wrote an article. Goes into more detail on why he's suspiciousAnd Taibbi is as far left as they get in the media.
Now that TRump has failed miserably at stopping illegal immigration he is going to try his hand at stopping legal migration. The best part of all this is it's conservative states and business that will lose the most from the labor shortage.
Do you really understand what is going on? Do you not realize the CIA and FBI are two of the most corrupt organizations on the face of the earth? If Trump does nothing else in his 8 years but expose these crime infested government sponsored enemies of the people he will have done something that makes him immortal in the minds of the common man. People without any power to fight back.You’re the sheep you would never speak out against trump even if he shot someone on 5th ave. He told you that. Divergent thinking is when you can look from all sides. You don’t. You look only at what fits your belief and throw the rest out.
Btw these aren’t the only 2 so called whistleblowers more to come. Until you can come out and say even “maybe trump did something wrong” you have no credibility. This polarization is what is wrong with America. No way do all Dems and republicans believe only what the party tells them and walk in lock step. I’m a staunch conservative but I’ll call out bs when I see it even if it threatens my core beliefs. This Ukraine garbage alone has pushed me from firm trump to no vote in 2020. Instead of pushing propaganda maybe you should start convincing people like me why trump is clean and do it without your propaganda crib notes.
Btw Dwayne i don’t watch the news. I read only facts. You’re caught up in only watching facts that suit you. People have to change in America. Either change or give up on your kids and your kids kids bc people like you (lib or conservative) are creating a dangerous environment for the future generations.
Since before the 2016 election, I've said all the candidates were poor candidates. For me, Trump was the least of the evils....and still is.I agree with exception of what trump has done with this Ukrainian deal. He didn’t need to speak so openly about his conversations and did so I believe to challenge congress to impeach him. Impeachment does nothing but divide the country. Like i said I was with him until this point. Let’s see what he does going forward but right now i can’t vote for any of them. They all suck.
Trump has had NOTHING to do with dividing the country. He is POTUS because the country was already divided. Unfortunately, his presidency is just a brief calm before the storm because the next generation of voters are nothing more than sheep following the lines of idiots like the clintons, warrens, obammers, and all the bernie sanders types out there. They don't care about American exceptionalism, American tradition, Patriotic American values. They don't know how to have a reasonable conversation about differences of opinion. All they know is covering their little faces, shooting the bird at those who disagree and destroy property. After Trump and perhaps Pence, we're hurting.
IMO, Trump is Trump. He's not a politician. He does not know political propriety. He doesn't know how to play by their rules. He just does what he does. Apparently career pols know how to do the same type things without getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar.There're clearly differing opinions on the contents of the released "transcript".

While I'd like to see Pence do well in the future, he's a pol just like the others. I like Trump's "in your face" style. He calls it like it is.
I'm convinced that playing tiddly-winks with dems/libs does not work. Trying to be cooperative with them does not work. Trying to compromise with them does not work. For the positions they take on issues like abortion, gay issues, welfare, immigration, taxation, etc...they will take an inch but ultimately want the mile.
Unfortunately, Repubs have not been nearly as aggressive and have given too much ground. It's time we had someone like Trump that played the game the same way. Again, unfortunately, as a country we've lost too much ground. It would take ten presidents like Trump to "return us to greatness".
Yes because all the lefties see is the version with 540 words edited out of it.There're clearly differing opinions on the contents of the released "transcript".
