What made it clear?

 I think it describes Trump's leadership style and personality quite well.

YOU are not a Never Trumper

[falco]

We've just come to the close of a packed week of public testimony in
the Trump impeachment inquiry. To me , it's clear he tried to shake down the Ukraine
to gain political dirt on his political rival.

The republican Trump suppoters are unmoved however and I know why.
They honestly believe back door dealings is  how politics really operates .
Unless it works against THEM, why not?

 It's a fair point and the attitude many have when it comes to everything from sports to money or relationships.
  If my team gets away with a foul , why not shut up and be happy ?
  If I cheat on my wife and she never finds out, what harm is done?
  If I cheat on my taxes ,that's good for me . Besides, everyone does it...right?

The problem is  if everyone gets away with bending the rules , then , we have no rules.
 One of the hallmarks of US democracy is being a nation run by laws .
Without the law , we have no GOV protections when those in charge, ever go against us.

Once the rich, powerful and connected become above the law, we devolve into a corrupt "shithole" country.
Eventually the vast majorty are silenced by the opressive leaders, with a growing vice grip on power.
Having a free and thriving press is NOT the enemy of the people or the purveyor of "fake news".

Trump is a corrupt President who thinks he's above the law.
He demands loyalty and ridicules any who dare speak out against him, regardless of the evidence.
He's a clear and present danger to the  ideals that made America the greatest nation on earth.

2020 is going to be hard times for you.

[Coach is Back!]

My wife is hopeful they invent a stronger Viagra, but I digress.

Unlike some liberal dems, I didn't cry or parade with a pink pussy hat after Trump was elected.
I hoped for the best and it hasn't been all bad. In fact, the economy continued to chug along quite well.
Suffice to say, my wife and I are happy and enjoying life.

Please note, my personal life isn't my one and only concern.
As I outlined in my OP, I feel that Trump is a threat to the future security of our great nation.

If you would have actually watched it you Soviet-style kangaroo court that brought zero evidence. If they impeach then bring it to trial and watch the left squirm when they’ll finally be able to call any witness they want that being said, call the “whistleblower” first then Schiff then right down the line. You live in an alternate universe

It's not just him, it's something that's affected many.

I went to lunch with an old friend, he is so "affected" by this - they consume all the media all day, and cannot be rationalized with.

It's really odd.

They just CANNOT view anything outside of their groupthink bubbles.


I've seen this:  "Trump never condems the white supremecists"......<Show a quote of him doing just that>  "Well, he doesn't mean it"

"Trump hates gays"...<show a quote at the UN where Trump condems nations that outlaw homosexuality and is working to change their views>  "I never saw that, OK that's ONE thing he might be doing right"

People have lost their minds.

[Grape Ape]

Good post.
Everyone has some form of political opinion.
The vast array of cable news and social media tend to put people in their respective bubbles.
At least those of us who interact on this forum, get exposed to alternative views.

People get confused and wrongly assume, IF you here their view, you'll agree with their argument.
Then, if you fail to agree with them, they endlessly insult and ridicule you.
I still can't understand why people take any counter view as a PERSONAL attack on them.

Context is important:

People take counter views in the real world as personal attacks, because people are personally attacking - looking at protests - recently Anne Coulter spoke at a university - students made a human wall to not let people in.   If you wear a Bernie shirt, you can walk around without issue.  If you wear a MAGA hat, probably a good chance you'll have some sort of incident.

Here, people take counter views as personal attacks because the liberals on this site are dipshits who only do just that.   People like straw, etc will never concede a point and are just here to be assholes

As far as me, I didn't vote Trump or HRC.  From what I've seen since his presidency, we've seen a complete degredation of the free press, a very dangerous situation where tech is manipulating data and disguising it as an objective algorithm, radical behavior from the left (antifa) etc, so I'm more and more finding myself defending the Republicans, as I have not seen one legit Democratic front runner who would make things better.

Stop eating all that soy, Howard.

[Thin Lizzy]

For those of us who were against Obama, we can point to something that effected us negatively, Obamacare which forced people to buy health insurance.

Point to something Trump has done which has had a negative effect on your life.

This is a point I've made repeatedly.

If people stayed off social media and went about their day, they'd find their lives haven't changed much.

But if you ask, they'll say they're not worried about themselves, etc.......

[Thin Lizzy]

Fair point, in terms of basic econmics, but he's a real threat to our environmental interests.

But since you asked, the repeal or removal of various environmental regulations is a big negative.

He also wants to change the proected status of national parks .
The worst may be removing the ban on minning of Uranium in the Grand Canyon.
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-administration-threatens-national-parks-and-monuments-701468

Trump has had a negative effect on our institutions (  FBI, CIA, NSA,etc).

In fairness, Obama contributed to a reduction in the public trust of our police .

Trump's continued attack of the free press , really troubles me.
https://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech/freedom-press/donald-trump-thinks-freedom-press-disgusting
One of the hallmarks of a free society is a free press.
Constantly refering to the press corps as the enemy of the people , sounds like a tin pot dictator.

The avg non_Jewish person lived a decent avg life during most of the 1930's in Germany
https://allthatsinteresting.com/life-in-nazi-germany
They lived their lives and even hosted the Olympics in 1936.

I could go on, but this is a good start.

These are all basically opinions and nothing that compares to the fact of having to be forced to buy health insurance.

I had a good laugh at the worst things Trump in this first year of  presidency piece with one of them being firing James  Comey😂😂😂.

That said, congratulations on living up to that liberal standard of always managing to bring Hitler into a conversation.

Here’s the reality. All of the gloom and doom predictions about Trump were wrong from the economy to Foreign conflicts to race relations, not a single one was right.

Here’s a classic:

Let's hope a global recession doesn't happen, but it could. Even during Trump's watch.

Twice now, you've mentioned being forced to buy health insurance. Until hospitals and doctors can refuse service to anyone who can't pay for it, either out of pocket or with health insurance, I will support any plan requiring everyone be insured.

Ridiculous.  They proved nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  Zero proof that the POTUS engaged in a quid pro quo.  Zero proof of bribery.  Zero proof of treason.  Zero proof of any "high crime or misdemeanor."  But because of people like you who don't do any kind of deep dive into the facts, they can just keep repeating the same lies and you folks will eat it up.  This is a very dangerous time in our country's history.  You people are dangerous; the ones in high places who repeatedly lie and the sheep who accept those lies and blindly follow. 

[Moontrane]

A never Trumper is a Republican or conservative who has always opposed Trump.
Are you either?

Not according to MSNBC. I had the misfortune of watching it at the woman’s house. There isn’t any doubt about Trump’s guilt. That and the Ukraine is the most important issue that America is currently facing.

Moreover, Biden’s gaffes are a result of a stuttering problem which is not his fault.

Oh yeah, John Bolton is now a great guy.

I just saw a clip of some guy on MSNBC saying this impeachment hearing showed the most damning evidence against a president in American history.  These people are nuts.

MSNBC = Mostly Stuff No Body Cares (About). 

The compilations of myriad breathless predictions of Trump's imminent doom by the various hosts and guests
have been accruing for years.

I hadn’t watched MSNBC in a while I didn’t realize how bad it was. No wonder TDS is so debilitating. You have these loons fanning the flame every day. I caught some of the Chris Hayes show. What a soyboy!

I used to watch on a regular basis but I cannot tolerate listening to them, so I mostly read their website.  If you actually pay attention, it's painfully obvious how badly they are manipulating their audience.

If you take an objective look at it, these hearings were truly bizarre. The person who started the whole thing, the whistleblower, was nowhere to be found, neither was there anyone representing the supposed victims: Ukrainians.🤔

Impeachment musings of a Never Trumper (me)

This is all we need to see. You've proven far too biased to have an open minded opinion.
