That PoS in the WH gave it away for personal reasons.

Not comparing him to Hitler, but old Adolf started having some serious problems with his military by sticking his asshole where it didn't belong.

Trump has no equal where incompetence in situations like this is concerned.

Damn it, people are being massacred and Trump thinks he is going to wave his hand and get away with it. If Romney can push other R's to act on this, all the better and I thank him for doing so.

We can't cut off our noses to suit our faces, even if we have to ally on occasion with the less crazy Republicans, few though they are.

Even if Trump is acquitted by the Senate, if we have 3-4 republicans voting for removal, Trump and others won't be able to categorize the effort as "partisan" going into the 2020 election.

There aren't many things I agree with Republicans on, but those who put country before party can still be decent people.

....50+ years of increasingly cruel and unhinged rhetoric and policy. Decades of undermining democratic institutions for personal gain. Decades of fomenting and exploiting racism and sexism.

And you know it, Mitt. You simply can't bring yourself to admit it.
