Unfortunately, the conservatives are equally brainwashed and because of the origins of the Steel Dossier and the fact that was bad intel within the Dossier, they ignore the fact that were indeed ties between TrumpCo and Russian interference in the election. Conservatives easily dismissed the fact that the Senate (a body of lawmakers, many of whom are lawyers and former prosecutors) forbid witnesses at a trial. As f'd up as the cases being brought against Trump in NY are, lets not forget the Senate's major miscarriage of justice.

The panel was made of lawmakers that were handpicked by Pelosi. The dems had all the tools to get whatever info they needed. I have been in the same room as Schiff, a few times. Each time, people would ask him about the evidence he claimed to have. He just kept saying there was numerous evidence, and this was to people who are his friends. Even after the report came out, he still wouldn't explain any evidence.

The only true proof of any medaling of the last election was the silencing of the "laptop."

All I hear, from the left, is "If Trump gets elected, we will lose our democracy." Well, Newsom just got the courts to abolish the "Taxpayer's Protection Act (TPA)." The TPA is in place so that all taxes must be voted on by the California residence before it can be put into place. Now that Newsom got rid of it, this will allow him to implement any tax he wanted.

Imagine if he ever became president.

I don't know that we should "credit" Biden with anything. I think he's just an old confused man doing whatever his handlers say he should do.

We all know this, and this is should make people even more concerned. This means that the dems are taking advantage of Biden and the ability to do what they want and not be recognized for doing it. That is just plain disgusting. This should keep all people from voting for these democrats.

Huh, what panel are referring to? The (GOP controlled) Senate voted (along party lines) to block witnesses or new documents.

I won't vote for him. Setting aside political leanings, in essence, a vote for Biden is like casting a vote for unknown character/s who are behind the curtain.

I can't vote for Trump given that I don't think he respects our constitutional form of govt. Not that I think DNC respects our constitutional form of gov't either.
