[@whatsmolly5741]

@@darrenclaxton7652 pretty much, no amount of stupidity from trump justifies the stupidity of the Democrats. This is like a sad clown circus....... Repeatedly claiming that there is any chance of trump being impeached is also just flat out lying, there is no way in hell its passing the house and anyone with half a brain understands this. And the events that unfolded in Ukraine are so much more than just about biden, though the freedom of information attempt to get dirt on Giuliani resulted in the release of a pretty detailed report on Ukraine's investigation attempt. Anyone who actually reads it can see that literally everything the Democrats are accusing trump off actually happened under Obama. Its almost seems like a preemptive accusation against trump because they are legitimately scared of what would happen if Ukraine did release all information about what happened, it could lead to a giant mess not just for biden but the whole Obama administration. Ukraine's chief prosecutor was fired for investigating corruption involving biden because Biden threatened to withhold aid of the investigation continued. Like imagine if Eric trump was appointed to the board of directors of Aramco of Gazprom and then the US delivered a billion in aid to said country, the autistic screeching from the democratic would be heard around the world. Wheather trump did threaten to withhold aid is absolutely irrelevant, the bias is just so obvious that the Democrats will take more damage than they possibly could inflict on trump. No one who supports trump will change sides because of this cluster fuck of an "impeachment". Illusionary truth is unfortunately effective with the American public but how stupid can you actually be to believe trump is going to be impeached, can anyone actually be satisfied with a symbolic victory here? Instead of learning from the mistakes that lead to trump winning in the first place they just want to keep attacking trump as if that's going to make of for a lack of any real candidate for the Democrats.
